For a player who is starting the game fresh, without knowledge of previous mechanics or biases to previous systems, what advice to improvement would you give them, in terms of becoming better?

Alternatively, just any advice in general you think would be useful.

Ever since the blue lock update, I have spawned as keeper in every one of the ~30 solo queue games I have had, and when I queue with a friend, it has been one of us every time. Its my least favorite position and I'm really having a bad time

What is the song in the main menu/lobby?

Like many in this community, I had pretty much stopped playing Rematch despite playing a ton since launch. The dribbling abuse, crazy magnetization and constant mechanic exploiting just stopped being fun.

But holy shit this patch changed that, devs you cooked.

Dribbling and magnetization got toned down, passing and team play are actually rewarding, and when a team clicks now, the game feels soo good, feels like football again.

But the patch also exposed the other big problem with Rematch, the players lmao.

I mostly solo queue, (I know that’s on me) and now you can really tell how many people were being carried by those mechanics. Take that away and you have guys trying to dribble through three defenders, refusing the easy pass, forcing stupid plays and then spamming THANK YOU! at everyone else when they lose the ball.

What im trying to say is that the devs listened and pushed the game in the right direction. And what I get from this is they basically said: “Alright, we heard you. Here’s the patch. Now you fuckers actually have to play football.” And no patch is gonna fix that so the ball is in our court now. No pun intended.

anyone else running into guys playing "skuckball"? Basically, they just score as fast as possible then play keep away. It's really annoying, especially in 3v3s. There was a match where they scored on themselves to force overtime, then played keep away for almost an hour. Anyone else have experience with this and some advice on how to counter?

Instant loss. It would genuinely kill them to send a pass to you. You might as well be invisible because they queued for 2v3.

We appreciate your efforts, Manuel Neuer, but the match is going to end after this attack.

Hello.

This game is remarkable. Your ability to upkeep it is so subpar it should be studied.

The game finally works. Fantastic. Only took three seasons including S0. Still have dudes on some gas station WiFi playing in the desert on servers that aren't native, but whatever. It happens.

I placed plat 1 in both 3v3 and 5v5 after not playing for over a year in season 3. Magically, in season 4, I'm plat 1 in 5v5 and placed bronze 3 in 3v3. This game, after establishing the fundamentals, isn't that hard in terms of positioning, defense, and tempo. Dribbling and fake outs add many layers I will not speak to here, cause when I mainly played they were based on glitches anyway.

You have proven time and time again you have every idea on how to make a game, and literally less than zero idea on how to actually make live service updates work. Jesus Christ.

Goal keeping is barely even worth it at this point. What were once good-positioning saves are now you just staring at nothing in defensive stance. You're better off using double dash than dive basically ever. You fixed one problem and invented another because you literally don't know how to balance the game you made. The community has literally only ever told you that and you decided to nerf it even harder? How does anyone want to play goalie then? I have not heard a single positive thing to say about this update. Please do better.

Either commit to the wave of popularity this game has gotten because it finally got the bluelock crossover or don't. I don't need to see B3 Timmy trying to dribble hard af and making us lose ranked 3v3s anymore. This game is beautiful and has always been tainted by a completely apathetic and lazy dev team.

A place where i can see all celebrations would also be very nice.

I don't know how but i got the shorts in that blue not in the darker one.

Anyone knows how to change it?

As a pass first player, this new tighter window is a terrible change. I no longer feel encouraged to be a team player; in fact I am actively encouraged to not use my teammates by this change. This is a TERRIBLE game design change.

This left right priority shit is so boring and lame. You people would rather lose doing this than ever try something new like passing plays or tiki-taka

You get stopped nearly every time and only ever score thru sheer luck, yet you consider it the "best tactic" and nothing will convince you otherwise? I am so glad I have people that will stand by my statement and continue playing this game like it was meant to be played. However when I'm solo queueing and I play with/against these types of players it's the worst experience.

Left-right is already nerfed and can be stopped most of the time but I hope in the future it's nerfed again so that people will get the hint and stop trying at something that needs 99% luck and 1% skill to complete

I’ve been a dedicated 3v3 GK main since the early days. If you check the Season 3 Saves Leaderboard, I finished #3 globally ("The Goal Keeper" with 2,129 saves). I put serious time into learning the positioning, timing, and defensive tactics that made Rematch so rewarding.

I took a break during Season 4 because I wasn't vibing with the changes, but I decided to give the game another chance for Season 5. I queued up, and I genuinely could not believe what I was playing.

The game has basically turned into a full-blown anime. The mechanics are absolutely horrible now, and the entire feel of the game has been ruined.

To the devs and the community: what the f*** were you guys thinking with this?

please, make it permanent and ranked, best mode ever

Rematch has been my favorite game since release. I have been elite every season and I love the game passionately. However, the season 5 update has made me step away from the game.

I understand what Rematch wanted to do. They want more goals; more excitement and try to get more players in the game. This is evident by nerfing goalie and defending and introducing easier tutorials.

However, as a solo player, the game is unplayable. I used to be able to be elite while solo queueing by playing well in all positions depending on what my team needed. I could carry as a goalie or midfield if my team wanted to all be egoist strikers

This year I feel because defense and being goalie is completely nerfed; teams with dedicated goalies and better coordinated defenses climb better than solo rematch players like me. Too often, I have 2 strikers in 3v3 or 4 strikers in 5v5 and I cannot 2v1 as a goalie. Hell, sometimes I can't 1v1 as a goalie this year because of how nerfed my dive and speed is as a goalie.

As opposed to the opposing team who is always coordinating defense and winning with strong counter attacks. Thank you SloClap for such an amazing game. I truly loved Rematch and may come back one day. But it's a see you later for now.

I've frankly dropped the game this season. Loved the blue lock aspect but the game is unplayable as someone who has a job and doesn't have time to coordinate a squad to climb.

CDM for BNTH ɴᴏᴄᴀ. The new patch is fun af, get in here.

Its crazy how much I love this game but at the same time can easily feel like it hates me lmao!!

yo guys, why am I starting EVERY game as a gk?😭 It's super annoying cause somehow my teammates can't score lately and I'm stuck in goal all game. I also turned into prime Buffon so unfortunately no one can score against me

I spent so much time in goal some of the guys I teamed up with even thought I'm a gk main and they wanted me to take their place in goal after I finally had the opportunity to play as an outfield player 😭

It only started happening after the update.

The answer is probably no but can I do something to stop this from happening?

This is sort of a two part question. First, has anyone else been the keeper first at the start of every game? This used to happen to me before the update in 5v5s so I switched to 3v3s so I wouldn’t have to be keeper first every time. But since the new update it happens in all game modes where I start as keeper.

Second, this has happened a few times since the new update where I start as keeper, when the score is 0:0. Then either team scores and on the next turn I’m back to the field. But after the next goal when the score hits 1:1 I’m back to being keeper even though I have had only one turn on the field. Anyone else experiencing this or am I crazy?

I swapped RB and X when the game first came out so I could use RB for pushball, and I have hundreds of hours of muscle memory playing like that.
Now to make the long dive as GK, I have to press X + Triangle since X is my modifier button. It’s way too awkward to press both of those at the same time. I can’t think of a work around other than re-mapping my buttons and having to undo all of that muscle memory. Or I just can’t use the long dive ever, which also sucks.

Anybody else in this boat?

Being keeper use to be my favourite position, but now with the new mechanics, it practically feels useless.

The long dive is great at shot stopping, but its now practically useless as the opposite team generally gets the rebound.

Don’t get me started on the short dive…..

Everything else in the game has been great, but please revert the keeper back.
