Yup, ball cam is usually the culprit. It's easy to just get completely focused on the ball, especially those floaters.

Can you imagine a circular map with a line that's half blue and half red. The objective would be to get the ball all the way round and over the line from the opposing teams colour side. Kind of like a tug of war. And because it's circular the sides could be curved right up to the ceiling.

I've played enough to have veteran rank and have had under 10 games of someone constantly crashing into me. If people here are having it happen enough to where they are complaining about it, then your play style is a contributing factor.
Hang back at midfield and wait for the person who has been hitting you to make his play on the ball, when it ricochets off the wall and he's out of the way, take your shot.
As far as players that aren't very good that's just part of it. People need to play to get better. I play with my brother who hasn't even played a video game in two years so I guess I have more patience than most. It makes me a better player though, having to carry the team.

Haven't played on computer but on PS4 the PC guys have a PSYNET logo, I imagine it may be something similar, or that you see the PSN logo?
I'm talking about setting up for the shot and getting knocked out by your partner because he wanted to take the shot. It doesn't happen a lot but when it does, it's annoying as hell.
I do hang back and wait. If you have played with me you know that's what I do. I play defensively and only attack when I get a break away. You'll see me attacking a lot if we're playing 2v2 and we take turns being keeper, the team is down in the last minute, or the team fucking sucks and we're getting annihilated.

No lie this happens to me almost every time I get into a RL session with gaffers. We end up playing for like 3 straight hours and I just shut everything else out haha.

I get mad one I'm in midfield about to line up a shot on a center. Then our goalie comes flying in from the back not only rams into me but completely whiffs on the ball and leaves an open net for the other team.
That's the person I complain about it. And it happens often.
The topic about FF14 says how they're still talking to MS about cross play before they bring it and they can't get it done. Don't expect XB1 to have total cross play if it happens. There's a weird comment in there as well about cross play between XB1 and PC having to involve Windows 10, so it might not happen at all.

I bump into people. That damn ball cam. I say sorry though.
Hmm, TrackIR could be awesome with this too. I believe it would be doable without official support.

That's also interesting. I'm sure a lot of people have noticed a lot of the game's files referencing a mobile version of the game. Has it been confirmed whether this will be the actual game or a companion app? I can't imagine a version for the Xbox One would warrant "other platforms soon".
I think what I remember hearing was something about a mobile app allowing you to spectate matches.

I'd love a companion app.

I take one day off from playing and all of a sudden it seems like my car orbits the ball. I can't hit anything :'(

Never again will I thread whine. This thread is looking beautiful as always, nothing wrong with it whatsoever
Every thread is a joyous occasion
No. That's totally offline only. No idea where the blog got the idea it could be used online.
So this took longer to setup than expected x)
But we're about to play the semifinals of the GAF tournament: Team |OT| vs Team Rocket

The feeling when you tie a game in literally the last second
Only to lose within 30 seconds of OT

So somehow I finally got a pool/break shot after 50+ hours in the most random way:
Lucky we all missed at the end...
Also made another quick saves video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIpeieIpxls

Yup!

There is apparently now a way to exploit your way into a private match that is not full.
NA ESL finals were having to fill up a party with other people to prevent it from happening.

I've started to switch to car cam for a second when I'm driving away from or parallel to the ball to make sure I don't run into teammates. Helps a lot especially when it's crowded under a high ball and you're trying to get out of there to line up a better hit.
I'm a pretty mediocre player but had a few good days. This weekend has been positively awful though. I was at around 700 a few days ago and sunk all the way down to <500. I lost every game I played tonight, around 10 in a row. Capped off by a game in which we were up 3-2, they made a last second shot, I made a save, one teammate hits it, bounces off another teammate into our own goal at 0:00. Long overtime results in a loss right after I miss a save.
So incredibly irritated... I think it's time I move on from this game.

While i agree with ignoring the ranking bs and just finding people who are interested in fun good games.... Ive yet to find someone on this thread who will play with me. Have posted my psn name like.... 5? Times
I don't really care about the number. I only mention it to illustrate how much I've been losing. Despite the fun I have with the game, it's a competitive multiplayer game with small teams. Sure, I can chalk up some of my misfortune to bad luck, but it makes me feel like a shitty player who drags my team down.
Sorry for the negativity, I'm just using GAF as an outlet for my anger.

Got probably my proudestsave so far (potato quality webm)
Played 2v2 with a friend and had steam voice going, so we were always collaborating. Worked great for the first five games, then we lost our mojo for the other three or four games. Communication makes a huge difference.
30 hours in and I'm finally starting to get aerial shots. Dribbling, however, will take a lot longer to even begin.

Oh my god. Someone on my team tied it up at 0:00 to go into OT, and we won. I really have to stop playing this before bed.

Holy shit. I'm sorry guys, so much of that was my fault. Fanning shots, missing aerials, my old man reflexes were showing tonight. Ugh, I played like crap.
I'm going to have nightmares now.

That's just how Rocket League goes. Sometimes I play like a continuous highlight reel, sometimes I accidentally knock the ball into my own goal twice in one game. Nothing to feel bad about, it happens to everybody.

Oh yeah, I have my ups and downs, I just get pretty competitive, always having a blast though. It was just one of those nights nothing wanted to go in the net.
Oh yeah, for sure man. Always a blast playing with GAF.

Best teammates are ones with discipline, who know when to pull back and fight another day.

If you're chasing me when I hit it into the middle, you did nothing. If you were in the middle to have an easy hit in, yay, then I don't have to attempt to take a shot with someone in goal.

Bad bounces all around, but we finally broke through at the end.
