Input lag on PC... v-sync related maybe?
Due to Sony's content restrictions there is currently no cross-platform communication.
He says the input lag on PS4 is higher than on PC.
Totally agree. I said this earlier in the thread. If you're diagonal alone, you go for it. If you're closest to the net, you stay back. If both are diagonal, someone should say I Got It or Defending. Pretty simple!
When a teammate doesn't follow those rules, I automatically know they are not a team player. I find 2v2 has more people that are focused on team work but it's still a crapshoot.
I guess that at worst, when these people are my teammates I have to try my best to just play more defense and hope they get lucky on offense but without a coordinated team effort it's much harder to do that. Then my stats suffer and I can't gain any rank. It's very frustrating.
But somehow, no matter how mad I get (and I'll admit I've been guilty of rage-quitting but only after some seriously egregious shit), I always start up another match. The game is just too damn fun even when I'm bad.
Having a bad night. The last couple of days i have played like possessed, with crazy aerials and saves all around the place. Started to actually think i won't suck at this. But tonight, not so much. Misses every god damn ball, frustrating teammates and it's just MEH.
Will take a break.
And i agree with you guys, after you played with friends for some nights it's almost impossible to go back with randoms. 95% of the world population is retarded. That's a fact after playing this.

Do all the good players come out at night or something? I made it to 870 in 1v1 only losing 1 match. But for the last hour I just couldn't buy a win. I'm all the way down to 750 now. Makes no sense whatsoever. I was making so many dumbass mistakes.
When you're losing too much or making dumb mistakes it's time to take a break. If you don't want to stop and wish to keep playing the game, at least spend some time in free training or the other training modes, it's good to remember basic good practices and get rid of vices you gain from playing match after match.

Yeah definitely. I should have stopped way before I did. The problem is that I get really pissed off when I underperform like that and I have the mentality of "I'm gonna keep playing until I get this right. Not stopping until I win. Not stopping until I win".

If they can fix the framerate on every map but Urban, that'd be great. It's a massively annoying inconsistency and I dont want it swept under the rug.
Bug right?
It's the only trophy left :S
Maybe they can do it server side.
Bug. Believe it's on the list for next week's patch.
Yeah, i know what you mean, this is how you go bankrupt in Vegas. Hehe
It's not just ranked either. This stuff is happening in droves in normal too. I had a game yesterday morning we won 4-3 where the other team had 7 members in a game of four due to leavers (not including bots). To me there's only two ways to fix this.
1: Basically give them a deserter debuff like in MMOs where you can't queue for a certain amount of time if you leave. A bit harsh, especially considering the networking issues on the PSN side of things but a good solution none the less.
2: Force leavers to queue strictly with other leavers until they can survive a predetermined amount of complete games (Say...10?). 10 is nice to me because it means the person has to basically dedicate one whole hour of play just to getting out of jail.
This final one is just my opinion, but you should not be able to join a game with less than 90 seconds left. I keep getting pushed into ridiculous 6-0 games with under 2 minutes left and that gets old really fast.
Other than that, loving it. Rocket League is damn near the most fun I've had playing an online game since Socom II.

I don't hate it, but it sure can be an eyesore after playing on PC. The framerate on some maps in 3v3 is just horrible.

Closing in on 1.2k 3v3 ranked rating at 4 rank points per win and then get knocked back to 1.1k in two games because im expected to carry two low ranked players vs three average ranked players.
Funny thing is that if i were to win those games i would gain one rank point. There's no sense in playing those games but sometimes i cant cancel the search in time.
I wish you could limit the matchmaking so it wouldnt widen the search to include everyone.

Yeah, that was a problem I was going through recently with 2v2. It was pairing me up with literally the 20 best players on the leaderboards every game. Even when I'd eek out a win, I wouldn't get many points and each loss was killing me. Then the next day I'd grind up 3 point wins all day just to lose it all again the next night in one match.

How do you know what ranking people have?

The more I play this game, the more shit talking I run into. It's getting very annoying. Can't people just be chill?

You can't see their points but you can get a general sense of how much time people have had with the game on their semi-pro / pro / veteran status.
Higher ranked players also play very differently from people who just started the game. No crowding under an aerial ball jumping in place or just chasing the ball just to get a hit no matter what.

I was asking if that's what this talked about patch is for.
Had a team where we were one goal behind, maybe 1 minute or so in and my team mates are calling EACH OTHER fags. Because one of them told the other one to defend. We won 6:4, Idon't knowhow. Just embarrasing and a downer to top it off.

ive noticed this as well. was bound to happen given the competitive nature of the game. really would just prefer a more robust list of phrases and take out custom chat or at least let us disable it.

Gutted, did my 1st flying through the air aerial smash from the half way line (it had quite some stonk on it), only to have an epic save off the line 
.
Getting used to flying now, once you learn to tippy tap the boost its much easier.

Damn I know that feeling well... :x But still, even when those are saved I'm still happy that I hit it in the first place and that I am improving my aerial skills ^^
Yeaaaah I'm done playing 3v3 solo until they fix leavers. I don't know how they allocate +/- in terms of rating but there's no sense in having a losing team that is full strength get less negative than a team that loses (2-1) while 2v3 the entire game.
It wasn't even a disconnect, the guy connected and idled out. :/

Finally had the mind to save a replay. The clutch save as the clock runs out.

New map hype!
I kinda wish it had the crazy goal locations like the original, but oh well. I hope the performance is good on PS4.
That'd be nice but Psyonix needs to be careful now for competitive play unless they do something like CSGO with 2 different playlists (Active Duty and Reserve Maps).

Looks beautiful but where is the dome? Am I not seeing it?
wont the massive metal sphere moving at 80 km/h smash into the crowd in the stands in this new stage?
I mean, it's not even like the stands to go see Shamu, where you *might* get wet. This is "at some point this huge ass ball is GOING to fly into you 100% guaranteed"
0/10 DLC absolutely illogical ty psyonix

The map they release after this won't even have a field to drive on. Truly, the developers have lost their way with all their success, SMH.
Edit:
Edit:
For those who are seriously asking where the dome is, they're likely not including it in this image because they want to show their map unobscured. It's just gonna look like all the other domes anyway.

Maybe they haven't finished it? That's my guess at least.

That's what it is for sure? I thought it was just a bug that was going to be fixed in the upcoming patch.

All future map releases are free. I don't think a time table has been set for when the maps will come out but I know this Utopia one is due in a few short weeks.
In terms of paid DLC, there will be aesthetic stuff like new hats, cars and toppers.

Yeah if not text messages then at least the quick chat.
