That's the entire point. Think about a play in other sports, it's risk v reward. If ariels weren't a thing, the game would be boring in a month.
That would be alright if it weren't for the fact many of the people attempting them can't pull them off worth shit.
Yeah, but then there's always the fear that you'll miss out on the pleasant exchanges with the nice players out there. It's the same reason I don't mute everyone in DOTA. I really, REALLY should, but I also have some lingering faith in people.
Gotta practice somehow.
That's what the training mode is for

You robbed me of glory too many times when I was playing with you guys. I want revenge.
It's not the same thing at all.

I was surprising myself with some of those saves and deflects to be honest. But yes we need to have some more games!
Doesn't help at all. Only way to get better at aerials is to do them in game. Sometimes you'll ruin a shot for your team but if that really makes you upset I think you should find a new game.

Well its my friday so Ill be playing a lot the next few days. Its pretty awesome how many gaffers there are playing almost every night to get matches going.
I dont care what anyone says. I love Tunavi's commentaries. That guy has a future in Esports Rocket League announcing.

Tuna V's commentary is amazing. The game is -100 intensity without it.

We have to get a stream going with the commentary.

Yes and yes! That would be awesome. And please do consider updating the quick chat commands. Can you tell how often certain ones are used? I never use "Take the shot!" and rarely see it from others. I'd rather have a "Let's do this!" to encourage my team. Also, please consider adding "Well played!" for all of those non-goal/save/pass moments (like great clears and aerial/wall hits) and end of game congratulations. If you add it, I would suggest putting it where the $#@% is and moving that one to the bottom menu and replacing Whoops (since Sorry can be used instead).
Training mode will only help you so much. There's no better way to practice than in a real, live game.

I play with a group of friends on PS4, and we usually do 4v4. We're pretty good. Usually rattle off several game win streaks (although the 10 still eludes us.) Good enough, in fact, to finally get an opponent to comment after a quick 5-0 lead:
"Are you guys playing in a party? The chemistry is NASTY!"
Many lolz were had.

Sony wouldnt notify you that they took action
They do send a notification that they've received the report though
Honestly, I think full chat is more harmful than not. Everything we want to say can be expressed with quickchat, save for a few phrases psyonix needs to add in.
While I do use chat for some convos, I'd rather that they restrict chat to just quickchat until
post-game. and we can always directly message on PSN if need be...again, usually used by people to send hate messages.
Or better yet, I just wish people who use the N word or F*ggot are just flat out banned from chat, but that seems hard to moderate

You know what would be cool?
If the coloured nametags represented your boost gauge
That way we can know how much boost everyone has, which can help make some calls

Wheres the fun in knowing how much boost your opponent has though? "Oh hes in front of me" vs "hes in front of me and has no boost" are two diff scenarios, since you basically -if you're good enough- can force a lot easier goals if they have no boost or wait for them to get some. I don't really want that to be a thing.

I wish you could press L1 to see what the teams are before the game actually starts (when it's matchmaking to find another person or whatever).

Is it just me or is the sound clip from getting aerial hit the most satisfying sound ever?
It might even eclipse the Killzone chirp when you get a kill in the MP.

Lol next time I promise
okYou would hate my other idea of having Journey-like radar to indicate teammates so I dont keep accidentally running into them all the time
I'm not sure how it sours the experience when it is so easy to turn it off. Having the option there is important.
Yeah. For the first 30 seconds there could be input lag and then it's working perfectly fine for the rest of the match. Or sometimes for the first 30 seconds it's perfectly fine and then there's input lag the rest of the match, or it could pop up in the middle of the match. It's actually pretty rare for it to be occurring for the whole match.
Haven't been able to replicate it on purpose yet. Seems really random. Even tried different controllers in the off chance it was a faulty controller thing, but all controllers acted the same.

Anyone else get the bug on the new map where the ball falls through the floor? I think it happens every time I start a new game on that map.
I haven't had it happen but others have mentioned this. It's apparently a common bug.

I'm the KING of running into teammates and I still don't want that.
The game is perfect as is. Needs no additions.
Except maybe little Mad Max dudes hanging out the windows yelling wasteland profanities as I miss an aerial.

How does one unlock sweet tooth?
I think you need to play at least one match with all the normal cars.
Thanks it was super fun announcing. Lol

So I own Rocket League on PS4 and PC. Since pretty much day one on PC, I've had intermittent but unable-to-play-worthy lag. It'll come and go, but when it's going, I might as well not be playing at all; the ball warps around, I warp around, the whole screen quakes, it's terrible, and I'm sure lots of you have experienced it in some way.
On PS4 however, I've had almost NO issues with lag whatsoever. Maybe one game per twenty, and for 20 seconds tops. Same network, wireless even.
Anyone else that owns both versions, or even just the PC version, have similar experiences with awful lag on PC despite a good internet connection overall? It drives me crazy that I have to cut a good ranked session short because the game has decided that I can't really play anymore.

Just keep on switching to a car you haven't used after each match. Should unlock pretty quick. (try to use the default cars first rather than the new ones you unlock)

I'll get him one day haha. I really don't feel like switching lol.

I wouldn't have played 100 games let alone the 1000 I have played with them in. Getting better at the air game keeps the game fresh.

Yep, or optimize how it's rendered somehow. When we play private matches we only play on that map for that reason.
Hadn't thought of that but maybe it's those non-decal vans I see once in a while.
Well the ps4 version did have psplus and pretty much a 10-1 ratio so the odds are stacked that way.

That literally wouldn't make the game any more balanced.
