Finally got my apprehensive friend to play this with me last night, and I died laughing after he scored his first goal and screamed like a banshee. He's fully converted now

Also is there a more dapper combination in the game than the Venom with the Top Hat on? Add the Lucci wheels and the Cash boost and you're straight pimpin.

Best Steam purchase in a while! I did get this free with PS+ but the pc version seems to respond much better.
Getting a goal is a blast

Ugh, I think I'm gonna get it on Steam, too. Just sucks cuz I've basically already bought it once.Best Steam purchase in a while! I did get this free with PS+ but the pc version seems to respond much better.

Me and my nephew played this game this weekend on the PS4. WHOA!!!!!! It was fun as a mug!
I can do the Pro training no problem, but the all-star stuff, for all of them, gets pretty insane, like I'll have to do it 5 times or so before I even get the first tap lol. Long way to go.
PC version does 60fps at 4K with a 980ti. Max it out, turn off ambient occlusion and light shafts (light shafts I didn't even notice the difference on and off in the levels I tested but it dropped GPU load considerably) so it doesn't dip when shit gets nuts.

Mugs must have really gained in popularity since I was younger.

Sounds like that would create too many playlists. I play ranked with the mentality of facing competitors, so I don't mind when the parties are enabled.
Only playlist we need now is a dedicated Party Maps 4v4 mode, whenever Psyonix decides to release non-standard maps.
Seems like people are wanting different shapes.
Anyone hoping Psyonix also adds more variation to existing maps? Would it be difficult to add a night time theme to the new Utopia Coliseum? It'd look sooo good.

Tried rank today for the first time and you guys weren't kidding about how bad it was. Had lag, quitters, invisible car now I understand all the frustration. On the upside it seems people are more skilled and strategic in rank. Overall still had tons of fun.
The upcoming free map:

They're going to have paid for maps? I would have preferred them going the Evolve route where they charge for new vehicles but keep everyone on the same pool of maps.
Looks alright I guess though. Personally I want to see something that has like Wipeout or Tron style. Maybe make it a tiny bit slippery on maps that rain...
Seems they're keen on keeping it very standard though. Chasing ESL -.- instead of focusing on making a fun game with variety.

All maps will be free iirc.

I'm telling you guys, Sony should bundle Rocket League as a pre-installed download on PS4s for Christmas. Psyonix gets a cut, but should also have like a $20.00 season pass by that time to encourage people to spend money.
I know Sony is busy with huge third party deals, but little Rocket League is an easy sell.
I wish I was head of marketing or something. I'd be including this game in sizzle reels, Gamestop kiosks, Christmas bundles... A Rocket League in every pot.
I wonder what the big wigs at Sony like Shu and Boyes think of Rocket League.

Doubt you will have any regrets,it runs really nice. At least you got to try it on PS4 to get the idea of what it's about.
I wonder if they don't push it too much so they avoid the situation of advertising their game for them causing more pressure on MS to get it - who then give them a higher offer to bring it over faster. So you screw yourself as Sony.
Maybe like an advertising for timed exclusivity sort of deal though. Don't think that's actually the case atm.
Bundled with a PS4 for Christmas is a good idea.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I could have sworn some of this team worked on Wipeout. A Wipeout map would be freaking awesome. If it's a party map, they could even add speed pads that even push the ball lol.
I feel like they can do two things with maps:
1) Have slight variations that mix things up but keep things at a competitive level (big map like Wasteland, popped out nets, elevated runway ramps)
2) Have completely varied designs that are more party maps than competitive (different shapes)
If I'm not mistaken, they intend to do both, but they will start off slowly with (1), then maybe make maps like (2). I feel like we have enough of the standard maps. Not sure why they think they need to add more, but at the same time, they probably don't want to waste time adding something that is too gimmicky that would lose its flavour after a while.
Wouldn't most people play something like SARPBC's Utopia a few times then go back to the standard maps? A different design has to be solid, but I feel like they can add something very different and very fun, that keeps people coming back. Just not sure what.

The challenge is going to get MS to agree to sharing the same servers as PC/PS4, or they'd need to convince Psyonix to setup dedicated Xbox servers and isolate that segment of the player base.
Oh that's nice that they say they plan on doing both. But yeah not sure what's the point of too many more maps that are pretty much the same thing.
I guess if you are going to add party maps then perhaps you don't put them in the ranked rotation/map pool and so they get less playtime...but it adds way more to the variety. - Something appreciated by the people wanting to have fun with your game, and not give up their job to become a professional RL player.
Having party maps that stay in the same standard competitive rotation...I agree that would be hard to design such a map.
Even if they don't though, is it that big of a deal? MS joining the same servers? Nice for extra competition I guess...but the servers already...suck. I'm sure they'll have people to play with on x1. And if it's either not coming out at all or out with their own servers, it seems like an easy choice unless I'm missing something.
At the sign in screen there should be a guest option no?

I dunno, I've found people worse in ranked than in unranked. I've been playing mainly on unranked though, so while I'm at 'Pro' level, my ranked level is low (well, now it's ~400). People have been noticeably worse, which puts me off playing ranked.

The game already sounds like it's going to blow up my PS4 as it is.

Well I've only played a handful of ranked matches so my views are definitely skewed so you may be right and I didn't mean it was significantly better. However what I did see was less of everyone just charging towards the ball and more of people pulling back to defend or whatever.
Two of the worst things about 2v2...being down by two goals and your partner leaving. Do they not play the game? Coming back from two happens all the time.
The worst thing is partners who ALWAYS GO FOR THE BALL 100% of the time. Like, no teamwork, no centering to the other person, no lining up for the shot when I have the obvious path to center it, not listening when I say "I got it" at kickoff. Seriously people, if you want to win try playing it like a 2v2 match and not a 1v2. I've had a few people who will literally go through my, their teammate, just to get to the ball. And then miss it of course half the time. Somehow I've even come across a "Pro" like this.

Every player has to have an account to go online in rocket league. Annoying, but that's the way it is >.>
I was playing Double Ranked last night and twice I saw opponents whose name is something like:
XYZ
XYZ (2)
Which kind of makes me think it must be two people playing split screen on a single PS4. It would make sense that XYZ (2) would be the guest of XYZ and is playing online together via couch co-op. Maybe try looking into it more to see if you can find that feature.

PS4 version doesn't allow User + Guest split screen online. You have to have both controllers logged into their own, separate PS+ accounts.

Clarification on PS4/guest stuff:
Online splitscreen should work for guests if the primary player is logged in, has PS+, and has the console set to their primary console.

I've tried this several times and the guest has to have an account (not PS +) in order to play.
Just played with a veteran like this. Just had to hit the ball every single time. No set ups no passes just hit the ball into the wall most the time.
Playing this game on steam. I'm wondering if it's possible to copy and paste "save data" from one of my account to another ? I've unlocked several things with one of my account but I've since created a new one. Can I go into save game folder and just copy and paste into my new account's save game folder and it will work ? How about ranking wise ? Do I get to keep all my ranking and unlocked stuff ?
Nope. I have mine set to primary and my friend had to sign into his ps account on my console for us to play online.
One tip in case this doesn't work immediately is for everyone to sign in before launching the game, then the primary player joins first. It can lock you out or give you that error message if people sign while the app is running (consistently been a problem for me).

There's no way for me (PC) to play with my friend (PS4) on the same team correct? Thinking of buying the game.
