Sorry for being late, but just getting to read the patch notes now.
They didn't retroactivate this one did they? Or do I need to drive all those miles starting from scratch in online?
Not that I won't do that soon, just curious.
- (PS4) Far, Far Away Trophy can now be unlocked via online play

From scratch.
started a match 2v2. got scored twice in dumb ways. team mate starts goin ham on me, im like 'lol relax we're gonna win'
match is 5-1, other team saying we should leave there's no coming back from this
anyway, this teasing continues till I bring the match to 5-5 (to be fair team mate scored one of the goals)
we go into overtime, other team goin 'WTF happened'
shoot on goal. team mate throws it off path
team mate does backflip to supposedly make a save, ends up scoring in our goal, making us lose 6-5 on overtime
he sends me 'SOME PRO YOU ARE WTF TEAM' on chat and leaves
great stuff

Amazing. simply stunning
Sounds about par for any causal team sport game banter. :/

On Twitter they said the next patch/dlc is getting ready to be submitted for testing so I'm guessing next week at earliest maybe the week after?
I dont understand how there's people with Pro ranks that cant do shit in the air
I mean I get not even knowing about proper air boosts and all when you start playing the game
but being level 20plus and just waiting for all balls to drop or doing simple double jumps as your attempt to reach it just feels impossible

Oh I thought it was coming tomorrow since PSN store updates then
But the DLC video just says August, darn.
I've been playing for a month and wasn't really aware that was even possible because all I see others doing are exactly what you described. It wasn't till I started watch videos of pros on YouTube did I realize there was an air game.
Just had a great game where we were 4-0 down and got it back to 4-2. Someone on my team just typed "Istanbul" and being a Liverpool fan this made me laugh so much and I really wanted us to win. We got it back to 4-4 and after about 5/10mins of OT lost.
The wanting to help your team to win is incredible considering they're all strangers but I genuinely feel a part of a team nearly every game I play

This game is easily in my top 5 for this year. Played Rocket League with some friends this weekend and we made up a 4 person team - roars in the apartment happened when goals got scored.
That feeling when you slam home a goal with 3 seconds left on the clock to put your team up a goal...

hell I played against Veteran's the other day who stayed on the ground
ive just really started getting going with Aerials. getting better and better with em, but don't always use em. sometimes a simple double jump is all that is needed in a situation. sometimes just dont have boost at that moment

This game has easily become my favorite game that has been offered on PS Plus so far. The gameplay really hits the sweet spot.
My friends have been trying to figure out for weeks if in Rocket league it's people driving normal sized cars, RC cars, or is it a universe inhabited completely by cars. I like to think that it's a car world simply because you cannot see the crowd.

The video really should have cut to black before you know whether the final shot was in on time. Real missed opportunity.
I was ready for that ending, too.
I don't know... always subvert expectations, they say.

Does anyone have the camera settings posted earlier in this thread?
My settings seemed to have reset to default

I just found out that quitters in 1v1 aren't punished. Someone quit and then immediately I got matched with him again. Man this is bullshit.
What harm is done to you if somebody quits in a 1v1?
I'm pro rank 21 and can get in the air just fine; hitting the ball while in the air is still pretty spotty though, heh.
I'm waiting to see my name show up in one of these videos as the honorary fool

It annoys me. I don't like winning like that. It feels like a waste of my time. I'd rather throw away a 3-0 lead, go on to lose and hold my hands up and say good game than win because my opponent just gives up. Just take your licks and finish the game. Or show me what you're made of and come back. But don't just give up, man. If you don't plan on playing a full game don't start one. You're wasting my time.

My mind boggles at this.
Almost nobody "does shit in the air" at this point, including Veterans and even some Experts I've seen are shaky at it.
I can't fathom the mindset that by pro you should be starting to get proficient at it.

The worst is when you are casually turning your car near the enemy goal and someone takes a great shot and it hits you, bouncing towards your own end...
I've had those kinda booboos before...
Camera FOV: 110
Camera Height: 100.00
Camera Angle: -3.00
Camera Distance: 230.00
Camera Stiffness: 0.70
Camera Swivel Speed: 3.20
Well that's the box quote for the eventual physical release sorted then
thing is I don't mean Air Game in like a "going way for it super above"
I basically just mean that whenever there's a ball in the air I can always go above everyone else's head by doing a little boost
no one even tries, they just wait
there's no real big margin of error. Ball won't go off path and the stakes arent high cause you're barely a bit above the double jump distance
I dont mean showin off with a crazy flip 10 ft high. I just mean hitting the ball in the air and having that advantage
I am just getting I to saving shots with aerials, and messing about with centering the ball with them, I'm definitely in the pro levels, and north of 400 in 1v1 ranked, and I do t see many aerials yet. The game can be played well with ground work only...hell, me most of the aerials I see on YouTube look like random acts of OMG I DID IT 
, yea some people are ace at them, but most peoe just go flying by.
The unlimited free at boost has been awesome for practicing them though

That's one drill. I can almost assure you the tutorial will be about the same rate of completion, and the advanced one probably less. The game actually does teach you to fly, but the vast majority just don't care to do tutorials anymore. (Granted I know the tutorial isn't that easily found, but still...). So yeah, until you get to a high rating be prepared to deal with that. (And even then, if the matchmaking goes too wide... lol)

never did the tutorials!
think I did like, one
the advanced air ones seem super hard compared to what you actually find while playing
other examples just to ilustrate how little "air" im talking about
in my experience those little jumps make all the difference in those encounters, and I swear nobody ever goes for em. they just stay glued to the ground
Strange, for me pretty much everyone goes for that. I Only play 2v2 and has like 900 i skill points though.
And you are right, those are not that hard to do and pretty much a must to learn. You don't even have to fly high, as long as it's higher than the usual flip.
Nice way to ruin my argument
Did you play the original SARPBC though? Cause if so, it doesn't count xD
Oh and the advanced air ones, you'll have to master if you want to have a shot on the top 100 basically.

lol I didnt
the first few matches I obviously didnt realize how integral doing turbos in the air and such was, but I encountered it once or twice in matches (and gifs) so I started going for it and getting accustomed to it
what I meant in my original point is that this happened at most within my first 10 matches or so. It just immediatly felt as if I didnt get a hold of air and jumps i'd be at a terrible disadvantage. basically surprised that people get to the higher ranks without realizing that is what im saying
Hmm ok I see what you mean. What rating are you right now? It's like, just the mere fact you know that flying is an important part will probably bring you higher if your average competition doesn't know that to be honest.
2v2 and 3v3 is awesome if you're playing with a good team, but frustrating at times if you're playing with randoms who are greedy.
1v1 isn't boring at all. You have to be on your toes at all times. Make a mistake, and you'll get punished for it. Get too aggressive, and you'll be punished for it. It's why I'll go for the cheap goals all the time, because even if you're up by a few goals, all it takes is a few missed shots, and it's all tied up again.
havent even checked since they're gonna nuke that before the next patch, right?
also havent played many Ranked cause for some reason the game does a better job of pairing me with people on my same rank when I just play casual standard / doubles

Thanks!
Speaking of which, Id like a physical copy of this game.
Just need it for collection purposes
$30-$40 for a GOTY edition would be sweet
Probably yes. Ranked does a better job long term IMO, but short term... yes it blows.

It's fun watching someone complain about the quality of players they play with in a game that matches skill levels
