I played the open beta. It arrogantly reintroduces gameplay problems PES and FIFA resolved long ago:

  1. Directional inputs are relative to your constantly moving camera, not your player.
  2. Camera locks onto the player, not the ball.
  3. The off-camera ball tracker completely falls apart in scrambles/when the ball is close since you have to stop and play camera operator to know what the hell is happening before deciding what to do.
  4. Completely ignores motion inputs in favor of situational inputs when performing skills, which severely limits the number of skills you can do. You can essentially do cooler shit in PES2017, never mind any FIFA Street.
  5. No off-camera teammates tracker.
  6. No indication which team is in possession off camera.
  7. No power gauge for passes/shots.

And it does not add anything new in terms of gameplay other than removing fouls, offsides, and throw-ins/corners/goalkicks, which literally was a mode in FIFA98.

Rocket League can get away with some of that because you essentially play with s balloon, not a football; whereas Rematch feels like an awkward version of the 3rd-person camera in PES.
