Had my first match against a rude player. He popped into a game me and my buddies were losing, and when the game ended thirty second later he types, "WOW y'all suck."

Nothing extreme, but a shame since I haven't seen the Internet rear its ugly head in the game for the twenty hours of online play we've had.

I'm getting a bit better at hitting the ball in the air. No goals with it, but it helps to keep the ball away.

Looking for one more to play with us. Mic preferred.

Sent you a request, you ready to win?

 

[ChrisD]

Angel Wings is so good

YES. That and uh... I think it's 'I Can Be'. Which was apparently removed in the past week from the Youtube OST I kept watching. Copyrights suck.

hm, psyonix isn't a sony owned company. i wonder why they don't develop for other platforms?

Like PC?

 

[The Artisan]

what?

Like PC?

Well I see that they've developed for PC, but for as long as they've been making games there hasn't been any other console support besides playstation.

also, question: does this game have cross platform play?

 

[Pestilence11]

also, question: does this game have cross platform play?

Yes.

Spoiler

In the OP.

 

[The Artisan]

Yes.

Spoiler

In the OP.

sorry.
but, yes yes yes...so much fucking win with this game. I absolutely love that there is splitscreen online, I had such a blast playing it with a friend of mine and crossplatform just makes the deal sweeter in my opinion.

 

[JackDT]

They desperately need a penalty for leaving ranked.

2 - 1 with 90 seconds left? Why not leave! 2 - 0 with FOUR MINUTES left, unwinnable, just leave! (Ironically we finished 6 - 4 even in the 2 v 3 situation!)

It's getting really frustrating.

 

[spazchicken]

I just had the best streak of like 7 or 8 wins in a row,with randoms.

I still fairly suck but I'm becoming more of an asset to the team and sometimes I was even the MVP.

 

[moop1167]

Any good 2s players want to play on Steam soon?

 

[TimeEffect]

When asked about the XBox, they said they were "being cagey" about responding to the question of if RL will come to Xbox

I think it sounds like it will.

Yeah it'll be even better(worse? lol) when PS4 and PC players can communicate.

 

[v1lla21]

Im on if someone wants to do doubles. Psn is same as gaf. Ps4

 

[The Artisan]

yeah, looks like it. and that would make it their first xbox game, too. but i wonder why they haven't done it ever before?

Yeah it'll be even better(worse? lol) when PS4 and PC players can communicate.

it just means that all the people who have the game have the chance to play it with each other, and that to me is a good thing.

There are many reasons, as with most things, but a big one is our guy Shane (@ShaneWatch) at Sony who has championed RL on PS4 for a long time, before anybody gave a crap about it.

Specifically for the first game (SARPBC) we weren't allowed to publish on Xbox without signing away a chunk of our profits to a publisher. Things have changed since then for the better over there (ID@Xbox, etc.) but Sony's always been really great to work with as an independent developer.

 

[brickarts295]

Game is addicting as fuck, just had a friend over and played 2v2 and 4v4 offline and online. It was freaking exhilarating, I haven't felt like this since the Goldeneye days.

ah, so it is likely then that this game will come to xbone soon? and if so, will the crossplatform continue across all 3 platforms?

and when you say shane championed RL i'm guessing you mean he was supporting its development long before anyone really saw it coming?

I was joking but I have run into players on Steam with usernames like PS4PlayersAreAss lol

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Ill be on in a few. I just have to "see someone to bed".

show 'em who's boss!!

 

[moop1167]

Anyone want to play on steam? I keep asking lol

 

[kgtrep]

I got the platinum trophy today, but will continue to play this game.

As I've started playing ranked matches, I'm realizing that I hate players who quit. One time today, I was the only one left on a 3v3 match two minutes in or so. It was 0-6 with one second left when I finally scored a point. One of the players on the opposing team congratulated me and that felt nice.

My solution to stopping people from quitting is to reset their rank to the bottom (which I think is 1, cause that's where I'm at after many losses today, haha). Either take an entire loss or stick around for a smaller loss.

This may sound unorthodox, but something that I think could help build a better community is to award extra XPs for congratulating each other for making or defending a goal, whether the player is on his/her team or the opposing team. Sure, the XPs don't do anything, but still...

you can play with playstation folk too ya know =] unless it's some system on steam, which i wouldn't know about

 

[kentobi]

sadly no party system for cross-platform right now, i hope they work on that

In situations like that I've started playing for the opposing team, usually goalie so they can concentrate on practicing offense. Poor bastard isn't going to win but deserves some help/recognition for sticking it out.

 

[Tunavi]

Probably my favorite multiplayer game ever

If it comes.to XBone, cross play between it and PS4 is out. MS don't allow it which is why FF14 has never been released.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Probably my favorite multiplayer game ever

Definitely up there.

 

[Genryu]

I've been getting home around 4:00 AM EST all week so I haven't had much time to play, but I'm up on Steam if anyone else is around at that ungodly hour.

The issue with just dropping the rank is that they will constantly end up playing new/bad players who don't quit which will suck. Either make quitters play quitters, or just ban them for a period of time. If they've actively quit the game. It can't be too difficult to know if someone has actually clicked the quit button.

 

[Hazelhurst]

Just downloaded this today from PlayStation store for free. This is so insanely fun and addictive. Love the gameplay, graphics, and controls. I played for about four hours straight.

 

[ChrisD]

I ain't pulling off goals, but I feel I'm finally nailing simple flights. Ball across the field, bouncing from the ceiling down? I can actually hit it.

And that is why this game is so ridiculously good.

[CountAntonius]

I hope the devs realize how damn important it is to nail that spectator mode. I'd go as far as letting people link their steam/PSN accounts to get unlocks for watching tournaments like they do for CSGO. That's when the stream numbers went bananas.

I hope they understand it now. Do it like DotA2 or CSGO as you are saying.
BUT, add even the option to SELECT WHICHEVER SEAT TO WATCH FROM AND ADD VR! (normal camera modes, also)

They realy need a robust spectrator mode. butdealwiththerankedleaversfirst

A couple of saves. The first is a lucky one, the second... I love the second save

Nicely done. I've got a couple. The second was for naught but still cool.

[Unicorn]

The gamasutra interview mention a rocket league 2 down the line. I hope they realize the importance of setting this game as a platform like other competitive games. Just add and update and upgrade this game. Fans will support it if devs do.

 

[Bluforce]

That's a fantastic Epic Save!

Some days ago, I made the revival of the Game of the Century, Italy vs Germany, 4-3 (semi final FIFA World Cup 1970):



That was a great match!

 

[Davidfoundation]

Can't stop playing this game... 1 more match turns into 10. It's killing me softly but it feels so good.

 

[Genryu]

So anyone wanna play on Steam?

 

[CountAntonius]

Pika pika!

 

[Marvel]

Haha, cute!

 

[-Deimos]

Pika pika!

Ha, that's really clever.

 

[Xater]

Pika pika!

That's great.

I wish it was possible to pick all the cosmetics for each team separately. I might have a fun idea for one color, that then doe really fly for the other.

 

[DBT85]

Got called a noob by my team mate several times today. He spammed omg a lot too.

I just replied with lol. Then when he scored an own goal I said "lol noob" and he replies with "I don't think you know what this word means"

Managed to drag my rank upto the 350 range in 2v2 though.

 

[Calabi]

I swear there's something wrong with the controls in this game. I end up doing front somersaults when I want to do side and vice versa, and the side somersault sometimes doesnt move sideways, its weird.
