Passing the ball at the right moment to the correct player is the best way to avoid tackles. Here are some other ways to avoid it:

  2. Use dribble.
  3. Push the ball while sprinting.
  4. Keep adjusting the pace.
  5. Use Rainbow Flicks

Below are details on each of these tips.

Stay Aware of Player Positions To Avoid Tackles

Just like any game, mapping other players’ positions will prove advantageous. Once you have the basic idea of this, you can easily pass the ball during a tackle attempt. You can also use the minimap for this.

Use Dribble

Dribbling is an excellent skill to cross the defenders and stay out of the tackle radar. This easy-to-master skill is one of the basic recommended tricks in Rematch. If you face difficulty in executing Dribble, practice it in the tutorial.

Push the Ball While Sprinting

The tackle is executed in Rematch when you have possession of the ball. So, to gain an edge in the game and avoid getting tackled, press A/Cross/Spacebar while moving. This will push the ball a short distance ahead, allowing you to catch it repeatedly and keep moving. Additionally, you do not need to head straight with the ball. You are free to take any other direction to avoid tackles.

Keep Adjusting the Pace

You need to bluff your opponents by introducing a variation in your dribbling speed. By doing so, you will decrease the odds of tackling, making it a challenging task for opponents.

Use Rainbow Flicks

When a player is attempting to tackle, you can use Rainbow Flick to move the ball over him. This special move is a treat for the eyes. You need to press Right Bumper + A/Cross on the console or C on the keyboard.

That was all about avoiding tackles in Rematch.
