I've played almost nothing but ranked solo 3v3 and I love it. Had good performances and bad ones but it's still fun and I like trying to improve my personal rating.
Quitters can be annoying but I don't sweat it too much. Had a game last night where a teamate quit after we went down 3-0 pretty quickly. My other teamate stuck around though and we came back and won 4-3 and that was awesome.
Had another where something similar happened and we lost 5-1. It happens but I just view that kind of stuff as a different kind of challenge to overcome.

People quitting a damn 5 minute match leaving me 1 vs 3 is bullshit. I lost but I'm not a quitter. I've been down 3 goals and came back to win people leave after one goat that they knock in! I'm not mad at them just stay and we can fix it maybe.
Why do I lose rank when I stayed and I scored a goal if my other teammates quit? It really hurts.

Playing with randoms online, I find myself doing the same. Even in 2v2, I sit back at midfield most the time.
This is why I like playing with a couple of my IRL buddies. We have a nice, unspoken rotation at this point, where no one is stuck in goal for too long.

will they be adding 3 v 3 team ranked?

I've been on the other side of a 3v1 game, where my team just kept scoring on the dude. Dude didn't quit (surprisingly), but the team dragged the game over like 15 minutes.
oh yes! getting matched with a group of ppl who are about your skill level, then playing a match that ends up being very close or going overtime, and then at the end of game screen you can see the little checkmarks going up almost immediately.
and boom, an hour or so later you realize you´ve just played about 15 great, thrilling matches with & against the same ppl and time just flew by.
when this happens, rocket league is about the greatest multiplayer game ever!

Games can only be 5 minutes unless its a tie in overtime. I don't understand.

High scoring games can take forever because the clock stops every time you score (until the ball is touched again at kickoff)

So the one guy was able to score on 3 of you can keep the game going? The original post makes it seem like they were crushing him not a tie.

I'm not sure if I'd personally care about mutators like giant ball or cube ball. I hope there are more interesting things like different sized goals, different roof levels (I'd love a roof as low as possible, where the ball doesn't bounce so it plays like air hockey)
I think nonstandard maps can be enough to be super fun, provided you guys have some great designs to spice things up without feeling gimmicky.
I'd rather have different map shapes and things like lower roof, different goals (size, height, map shapes like in original Utopia that allowed you to wrap around).
Chaos mode sounds like it would benefit from differently shaped maps the most, since it's the least competitive mode, and more like a party mode.
Yes.

As someone who frequently takes up the midfielder/defender role, I rarely get any points for what I do even if I'm instrumental in winning. About the only points I reliably get in that role are ball centers and assists, and the assist rules are so wonky I frequently don't get assist points even for what is (to me) a clear assist.
Points are heavily skewed towards the goalies and the scorers. That's typical of the genre though...but please don't fall into the trap of thinking the points actually are the team worth. Go observe a game with rookies and frequently the worst players on a losing team get the most points because they stick to the ball like glue and get random clears and centers and shots on goal points for things which have no shot to go in, but earn them points.
Having said all of that, talking trash is stupid regardless of role or where your points are, so I agree with the first part of the question.

They were crushing him. Try playing a game against bots on easy and see how long the game takes to complete.
The OP was saying his team of 3 scored so often on the 1 guy that the game took forever
Yea, this. I think my team scored something like 22 goals on the guy.
I spent the time racking up the miles for that one achievement, so it was really more like 2v1.

did you try hard resetting the PS4 or a reinstall of RL?Keep getting he same
Just hard resetting it now. Pretty sure the last time I switched it off it did te weird double beep and then switched off... Related maybe? My PS3 used to do that all the time!
Can we get some metrics on the ranked stuff?
I play it almost exclusively and more than not I fuck up so I think my score is lower than it should be.
What's the score distribution for ranked 2v2 like?
Assists, centers, and clears definitely need to count for more points. I don't care how aggressive and decent you are at scoring clean up goals, the guys that defend and really keep the ball on the other side of the half seem to be incredibly important to winning games.
I really don't get it. My ping is pretty good (certainly better than most of the players I've seen), I'm playing in the correct region, and I can be driving in a straight line not touching the analogue stick... and I still get magically teleported all over the pitch because the server gods hate me.
Too many times a match has lagged briefly and I'm suddenly out of position, or I'm chasing a ball that isn't actually in the place it looks like it is.
Edit: OK, I'm on the US server and generally having a much better time. Still lags, but nowhere near as badly.

That's Europe after 5pm. Play on diffrent servers.
It happens to everyone in the match at least.

There needs to be a mutual quit option (ie. no penalty) for laggy games.

Ok so they wouldn't skip through the cut scenes. Understood. Thanks for clearing that up. I was really confused lol.

I'm having a few issues :/
I've tried starting the game, but what happens is the game crashes; all I see is the developer logo Pysonix and it boots me out of the application and an error code, CE-34878-0, comes up.
Since I'm a junior, I can't really make a thread about it, but it seems it isn't just affecting me.
If someone could make a thread about it, or suggest something to fix it, that would be very appreciated!

Same. It's so much more enjoyable when you play with friends. A common understanding.

I am a lvl 19 semi pro and I honestly feel ranked matches have worse players than unranked. My two teammates last game combined for zero points.
I honestly have no idea how a lot of players end up directly under the ball 90% of the time and it just slowly ricochets off them. They never build up any speed to actually move the ball forward.
The best controller breaking moments is when you hit it around the last defender, drive around him and ready to make your last touch but a teammate rams you in the back or side.
also I have no idea how to type text. i click R2 for "done" but nothing shows up.

Is there any write up about the ranking system?? I know it has lag and sometimes it calculates matches together later... what I mean is, does it only calculate based on win vrs loses or how? sometimes I win one match and I go up 60 points and then lose 5 matches in a row and only go down like 10 points... and yes this is me waiting for the number to update, after every ranked match I play practice mode until the Ranking number updates.
Was it because even though I lost I contributed enough on those matches?? or because my opponents had more ranking points???

I have had maybe one game where I did not see the network indicator. I have switched up my whole network setup at the house, monitored packet loss with Wireshark (6 TCP packets dropped in 10 minutes), have 50 Mb connection with less than 50 ms ping to server and it still happens to me at least once per match. I get shifted about 50 yards from my previous position which is a real fucking bitch if your playing goal. Additionally, it makes me looks like a moron.
It is so frustrating and I wish there was a known way to reduce it.
Same
Its on the server, not you. Change region.
It will also affect everyone else in the match at the same time.
I've played with more than a few gaffers in the mumble and it doesn't really happen to them.
I've also tried switching regions to no avail.

With regards to the guy said he preferred unranked, don't worry about it. I played almost exclusively unranked on SARPBC and loved it when you get into *that* lobby, you just know

I started playing Rocket League this past weekend since I kept hearing good word of mouth from this game. What a hidden gem this game is. Haven't had this much unfiltered joy from just playing a game (a competitive multiplayer sports racer to be exact). I would have made myself a disservice by not playing this sooner.
So many last minute goals, epic saves, and even major mistakes (2 self goals in one match = ultimate disgrace). Enjoying every second of it.
Any DLC I will gladly gobble up if it adds worthy content.

when do you guys think the xbone port will be announced? and will it come to any other platform?
End of the year would by my guess.

and any other platform besides xbone?

I doubt it since it struggles to maintaim 60 of the PS4.

damn, really? i did not know that. frames always seemed fine for me besides the lagging.

Depends on the maps but the ones with weather have some performance issues So I'm not sure the other consoles would be able to handle it at 60 frames.

I'm guessing next week. The patch is in testing and they said they can't add a solo queue back with the DLC patch because it' s been submitted or something.
