The eagerly awaited early access release of Rematch is now live! This version includes improvements to tackle concerns voiced during the beta period. For instance, the rainbow flick has received a boost in power, and certain netcode issues have been rectified.
If you’re into football, Rocket League, or perhaps both, there’s a good chance you’ve taken notice of Rematch – the latest 5v5 competitive game developed by the creators of Sifu. With its numerous beta tests, it has generated quite a stir, even catching the attention of fans seeking something fresh from EA SPORTS FC.
Although these beta versions successfully attracted players, they also revealed certain challenges within the game’s real-time mechanics. Now, with its early access launch, a new update is rolled out to tackle these specific concerns.
Here are the complete patch notes for the Rematch June 16 update.
Rematch early access patch notes
Check out the full patch notes below, as shared by the devs on the official website:
Rainbow Flick
Based on the feedback from our second trial run, we’ve decided to undo certain adjustments made to the rainbow flick. When striking the ball using the volley variation of the rainbow flick in the initial encounter, it should feel as quick and smooth as it did during the first beta. However, we’re still implementing some adjustments to maintain a balance when performing multiple consecutive flicks to prevent the ball from being out of play for an extended period.
Mouse and keyboard tap
We significantly addressed numerous issues and enhanced the user experience of the latest rotational targeting system, which can now be used with both mouse and keyboard inputs. This upgrade makes it simpler for players to aim a full 360 degrees while avoiding any unwanted “sticking” or unintended reversals in direction during aiming.
When operating the new system, kindly note that it operates more effectively with the mouse functioning as a joystick. This means moving your mouse in diagonal directions, rather than just horizontally, can help you master every angle. Rest assured, we’re keeping a close eye on this new system and have plans to make further enhancements in upcoming updates.
Mouse and keyboard remapping
Now offering customizable input remapping! Adjust your mouse and keyboard inputs according to your preference, and opt for or skip the “modifier” feature that assigns combined actions to two inputs rather than one (either modifier key + tap, or pushball).
When you utilize the remapping function, you may come across a few glitches. Rest assured, our team is working diligently to address these issues promptly.
Controller remapping is also coming later this season, as well as more advanced remapping options.
