It is new and it also seems to have fixed the framerate drop issue that use to happen with the explosions.

I'm so happy I can play 3v3 ranked with my friends now :')
Keep up the good work, Psyonix!

I haven't been able to play with friends yet so haven't tried this, but can you go into 3v3 ranked with only 2 people and be able to pick up a 3rd? Or is it only available for solo or a team of 3?

Yep. It'll match make a 3rd player for you.
I'm curious at to what the game considers an aerial hit. If I'm flying through the air and my car connects with the ball, I'd consider that an aerial hit. The game disagrees. Is there some particular technique I'm missing?
This is in no way motivated by the fear that the "score an aerial goal" trophy will forever remain just out of my reach. Nope. Definitely not the case.
Edit: oh, and a big thanks to Psyonix for patching in cross-platform private matches. Exactly what I've been wanting.

Welp. I guess now 1v1 is the only game mode for someone who doesn't want to get a team going every time they play. Bit bummed about that.
Might aswell quit the game now. People playing with other randoms were toxic but the shit talking when people are grouped up is something else altogether.

I don't know for sure, but it seems like it's just height based. I get credit for aerial hits for just jumping off the wall and hitting the ball from high up without using any boost to fly at all. However, in my head I still consider aerials to be what you're talking about, regardless of how the game counts them.
Try playing 2v2. It's not as chaotic and will allow you to learn the mechanics just as easily. You'll have a bit more time on the ball. My preferred mode.

really wish i could disable enemy chat or disable custom messages. the scenario you just described has happened every night ive played for the past week and its just obnoxious.
I do
I also get it on Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, and less loud but more noticeable on Journey.
2v2 is def the best imo, yeah

I about had an experience like this last night. I was in a ranked 3v3 and the enemy team got a good shot and then a couple lucky bounces off the kickoff to make the score 3-0 with about 3 minutes remaining. Two of the guys on the other team type in GG before the next kickoff like we're just supposed to leave since the score is 3-0 or something. We ended up coming back to 3-3 and I was so close to sending back GG in chat, but I was lucky I didn't because they ended up getting a game winning score in the last 10 seconds or so. We just could not get momentom enough to get the ball away from our goal and finally someone eneded up hitting it in.

There's an option under audio settings to set text chat to team only, has anyone tried that?
Also since their latest patch when playing this game with headphones on PS4 any sounds that used to be sent to the Ds4 speaker now come out really loud inside the headset
Anyone else have that issue? I'm using the Sony Gold Wireless...

IDK after update last night, I cant play any online games, oads to what looks like blue psn store screen and backs out and if I select DLC it goes to ps store screen and backs out. Seems fucked to me.
RepairmanJack

They've said this is a known issue with the patch unexpectedly coming out before the DLC. If you try to buy DLC or go to the playstation store then try to find games online it will screw up. It should be fixed after the DLC is available tomorrow. It sounds like the update wasn't supposed to go out until tomorrow when the DLC was available.

Still sucks that now I cant even play online. I will say game is a blast, but man the server issues with everything else is just a drag. I'm sure in a month or two everything will be ironed out, just sucks now.
RepairmanJack
Member
I don't think the bug should be persistant though? It sounded like if you just restarted the game and went straight to play online it would be fine. Is this not the case?
I dunno, I haven't had much issue for a week or two now outside of a game or two here or there.

Yep, I ran into this issue and simply restarted the game to play online. No issues after that.
Do season mode and you'll get it in no time
It really is. I don't mind a bit of ribbing but when it's just non-stop it's incredibly annoying. Sounds like you can disable the chat from the options menu though!

Well you can, set text chat to only team or just disable it in options.

Yep happens to me too. I play with the ball cam on, so the camera goes nuts at the start of each game. I actually just scored a goal from kick off when I couldn't even see the ball...
Reboot, connect controller before starting steam, wait 10 seconds, start steam

last night i was cursed. no matter what team i was on we lost 80% of the matches. previously i've been around 65% win rate.
had 1 match where i had 0 points, even though i know i was clearing and centering balls left and right. was playing 3v3. too many times teammates would get in my way and the moment where i could break away from them, my own teammates, i was finally able to score some goals.
love the new stadium. 1st match playing there i get my 3rd ever aerial goal and got 2 trophies from that 1 match.

Yeah and it wasn't even that bad.
I once was doing 2v2, and we were down 0-4, and my TEAMMATE called me fucking trash and left. I ended up winning the game 6-4 (to be fair, this was before the AI teammate nerf, but I got most of the goals).

Yeah I was playing 2v2 with some cowboy who just tries to hit everything all the time even if he's in the wrong position, just gets in the way, tries to do the aerial rocket thing all the time gifting the ball back to the other team etc. And after we were 5-0 with about 2 minutes left down he asks to forfeit, at which I said no. So he spends the rest of the game just doing circles near our own goal. Funnily enough without him interfering I didn't concede another goal. I made sure to let him know that too.
People are asking to forfeit way too much too. In another 2v2 game my team was down 1-3 with a minute left and they ask to forfeit? What the hell? 1 minute is plenty of time to equalise.

Huh, seems like the new map is just a reskin from the standard field. I thought it would be like Utopia from SARPBC
Same.

Not the case, I closed it completely and then reopened the app and it still wont let me in to play.

Yeah team mate trash talking is embarrassing. Posted in here a while back that I had a horrid opening minute to a game and we were 2 down and my team mate told me to leave (this was ranked). I managed to score 2 back, both opponents congratulated me. My team mate left and I managed to win the match 3-2.

I think they said the first bunch of maps are going to be the standard field size/layout, so people get used to the mechanics of the game properly and what not. The non-standard maps are in development and are coming eventually though.

Seems like they were wanting to go more with the competitive nature in Rocket League and didn't expect the outcry for weirder(Non-standard) maps before the game came out. Sounds like there will be more of those down the road.

The audio issue can be fixed in the options. It will be under audio and it'll be like sounds or something and its defaulted at speakers. Just change it to headset.

It's already set to headset.
Are the non standard maps fun in the other game?
Yeah, I'm super close to turning off all chat myself. I miss the early days, honeymoon period with this game, when there was practically ZERO of this shit.
Yup. They said different field shapes and game modifiers are coming eventually, but that they will be kept to unranked and private games. Ranked will keep to the standard fields and rule set, to maintain the "sport" of it.
I know you were asking someone else but OH gawd yes. They would be curvy or have wind depending in the level but always felt balanced still, which is the most important factor. Also hoping they get some of the minigame challenges back. Those were a blast.
