Table of Contents
Rematch has finally pushed out its first patch, which includes a lot of updates compared to the hotfixes released until now. The changes range from minor to major fixes, each serving its own level of importance in refining the overall gameplay experience. Additional changes are also expected to be released with upcoming hotfix patches or updates in the next couple of weeks.
In this article, we will look at the changes made in the Rematch Patch 1 update.
Patch 1 Updates in Rematch
Match Gameplay Improvements
Gamepad Remapping: With this, players can now mess around with the mapping in a quick or basic mapping. A more advanced version will be released soon.
Better Hit Detection: Issues where the ball deflects from the keeper’s hands instead of being caught are now fixed. The issue took place earlier due to the speed ball not being correctly set to detect whether it had to be caught or not. There is also an improvement in goal validation, with better decision-making to check if the ball was caught on the goal line or not.
Major Fixes
- Multiple fixes to the camera during goal replays, removing jitter
