Game ends when ball touches the ground.
A game only ends when the ball hits the ground/playfield.
You could stall and score a goal as long as you don't let the ball touch the ground.
does it really
is there a video out there of a match lasting a few seconds cause the ball never touches the ground
so if it's on the ground it's not any longer than any other second?
dang maybe it has something to do with lag but i've had games where it felt off

It does. You could conceivably play forever if all players make an effort to keep the ball in the air.
As soon as it touches the ground it's over. Keep that rule in mind the next couple times you play and you'll see it always works out that way.

Cause one is fun, and the other one makes me a screaming lunatic
Lol. Is non ranked that different?

You can test it out in training as it works the same way there. Timer won't end until the ball hits the field. The air, the wall, even the curve of the wall all keep the game "live."

do they have plans to try and get pc+ps4 parties? i have a bunch of people interested in this but they on pc. be lame for me if the lone ps4 guy can't even play with his friends unless by random chance
Legit laughing at this, what an amazing gif.
Hahahaha oh wow that was hilarious.
I don't think everyone should get points for a goal, but I do think there should be a "secondary assist" point value. Similar to hockey how they award assists to the two people who made a pass before, but make the secondary one +5 instead of 10 or whatever it is.
Gonna hop on steam for some now I think.
I played him yesterday.
i just laugh at my own ineptitude for five minutes .. i find it therapeutic
I only get mad at myself when I score an own goal. The shame...the shame.
Had some good games with friends tonight. Rubberbanding from last night didn't appear to be there tonight, so that's good.
Yes, they've said on Twitter that the end of North American summer is a fairly good bet for that.

GAF kept the beta alive by holding the ball up. Towards the end of this video. 5:20 mark
really close save on the final countdown. good thing i had about 20 boost left, did not have time to get to the ground and drive.

He beat me to everything in the air, was nuts.
Yeah, dude was crazy. He scored like 5 goals and also had around 4 saves. Couldn't beat him at aerials at all.

A ranked 1vs1 match with a "easy peasy" & "only luck" writer.

What A Save!
Still not exactly sure how I kept that out.
I've have been up in his shit after every goal.

Is it weird they said early August for the DLC but we still haven't heard about a release date? I know it's not been that long since it was announced, but with how early you think we would have gotten a specific date. Unless it's just going to be a one day notice type of thing.
it's going through Sony certification. Probably be announced/out after they're done with it.

What playlist you playing? For me for some reason it has exlusively been in 2v2 for some reason. In solo and 3v3 ranked I seem to get nothing but nice people, at least the ones that stick around that is. 1v1 especially has been surprisingly nice.
Yeah, I've started just muting all as soon as I get in.
3v3 casual on the Euro servers. Salt everywhere. If this keeps up along with the laggy EU servers, I'll probably end up taking a break from the game for a little while. It's starting to feel less fun.

I've generally been trying to be positive if chatting, mainly with teammates. This is still using the preset though. It gets kinda boring when everyone is silent, so I try here and there.

Text and voice chat can be disabled in options, but what does muting individuals do? Does it block their text chat, voice chat, or both? And does it block their quick chat?
Blocks everything.

Damn this game is fun. I'm still absolutely terrible at it, but I played a couch co op game (which turned into 5 games) with my son and some bots last night and had a blast.
I saw someone talking about this being a GOTY candidate earlier in the thread and I thought it was a little silly, but yeah I could see it being a contender for me. If nothing else It's far and away the most fun game I've played all year.

Kinda OT but I had a random guy send me a friend request 2 weeks ago, he seemed pretty decent at the game and was a good teammate so I added him.
Last night, he joins my friend's party with no warning or message and we're greeted by his screaming child for a solid minute before we can even figure out WTF is going on. "You guys wanna party up?" He yelled over the kid.
GTFO with that nonsense. Don't randomly join my party with a screaming kid on your lap. That's just bad form all around.
Anyway, I have officially accepted the fact that I suck at the aerial game. I've put an obscene amount of hours into this game and I have 1 lonely aerial hit and no aerial goals.

Nice. I think I might start muting some of the more annoying quick chat spammers. I wonder if it would be useful to see who has you muted--perhaps something that can be added to the scoreboard.
Sometime last week I switched to playing ranked games and I just wasn't having as much fun as I was before. I figured it was just that I've been playing the game so much that maybe I was getting "use" to it or was plateauing on my fun level.
So last night I was like you know, what really is the point of playing ranked? So I switched back to standard or whatever it's called and the fun just shot straight out of the roof again.
Standard online mode is just so much more fun to me for a number of reasons.
I don't see a reason to really go back to ranked mode. I just had so much more fun in the non ranked lobbies.

Standard online mode is just so much more fun to me for a number of reasons.
- When someone leaves the game doesn't drastically change (ya ya AI grumbles), but in ranked mode playing 1v2 or even 1v3 is no fun.
- When the match is over you can start up again right away and keep playing with the same people. I know it's not the biggest deal, but not having to connect and go back to the main menu after each match is kinda a drag.
- Rematches and playing with the same people for multiple games is so much more fun. I played like 15 matches last night with the same guy and we had so much fun together. I sent him a friend request when the night was done. I've never done that to a random I've played with in any game ever.
I don't see a reason to really go back to ranked mode. I just had so much more fun in the non ranked lobbies.

Glad you're recognizing and enjoying the mode that suits you. Unranked is dramatically more populated than ranked, but the people that like ranked *really* like ranked.
We're talking about ways we could add more rewards so people who prefer Unranked can still unlock cool stuff. I'm glad we have Ranked, but I don't want it to end up feeling like Unranked is just a feeder system for it. The first game survived many years largely on unranked lobbies and fun, casual play and we haven't lost sight of that.
The other stuff likely coming for Unranked would be "fun" things like alternately shaped maps, or mutators when we get around to them (though those would have to be a separate playlist).
Oh, does ranked mode have unlocks right now that unranked doesn't? I already have the trophy for all unlocks.
Not yet, but they've talked about content for people doing well when the season starts.
