No I'm aware of that, I mean going up from 0
cause I was 600 on PS4, can definitely say the skill to drag myself back to that on PC was a lot more.
The climb is worse, yes. I think it would also be interesting to see if there was a drop off of ranked players after the reset.
You were in the 1100s or 1200s when we were playing pre-reset dude. haha I remember because there was one night when we went on a winstreak that gave us around 100.
Surely
But yeah I remember doing 300 in doubles and people doing aerials I used to see in 600s
Now thats just a moshpit of good and bad gameplay
Solo is more even but a much steeper climb
I've talked about it so many times now but that's because you can win 5 matches, lose the 6th and lose all progress from those 5 wins. The system doesn't allow for you to climb easily at all, because it's all down to cumulative team ranking and if you win or loss.
So you end up with people in a larger margin of skill within the same ranks, which perpetuates the problem.

This game is definitely the hardest ladder to climb. One bad night can ruin a weeks hard work.

I guess that's how it is for you high level folk. So far for me, this game seems WAY more lenient than others when it comes to ranking up and down. Seems like I normally get more points for winning than I lose for losing. But I sit in the bronze III/silver I range anyway because i'm garbage.
Yep.
I get 2, 3, or 4 points the majority of the time. If I lose its usually a 10-14 point loss. It sucksssss.
That's how they get you to keep playing.

It's nice to see the devs in the struggle lol.
Has anyone gotten in a game with a dev yet? I've never seen one.
I thought he was parodying me >__>
Now
What's this freezing issue? I randomly freeze as i DC from the server for 15s, it can ruin a goal.
I'm asking since it happened just 15m ago
Lost 16 points as a result of it fully kicking me. Amazing.

Whoa, so I was randomly looking at my stats, and apparently I have the same amount of shots on goal as I do cleared balls.
This was exactly what I was thinking when they talked about it.

I legit thought after buying the Delorean that I wouldn't need any other DLC. But thinking about this... and the Jurassic Park jeep... and the Ninja Turtles van... they need to get on this.

What's this:
Misc.
(PS4) Improved overall performance for PS4 users
Improved rendering performance on grass in all stadiums
Is that related to FPS? Do all maps play like Urban yet?

Snow day seems to be attracting a lot of skilled players, on top of being fast paced, so now I actually have to pay attention during a match.

Man this is so cool, KITT would be awesome. I gladly bought the Delorean already. I'm hoping they're gonna do the Ghostbusters Cadillac, Black Beauty from Green Hornet and the Aston Martin from James Bond as well. Especially if they can get all the respective theme songs somehow. Lola from Agents of SHIELD would be cool too.

ughhhhh. the ranking on the this game is such GARBAGE. if my teammate gets booted from the game in the first minute...while my team is up 1-0, and we end up losing a 3v2 game 3-2...why the fuuuuck should i lose 9 points. they really need to have rank be more dynamic. it should be a combination of win vs. points scored, etc.
Yeah, its terrible. I really dislike how your performance on the match has no effect on it at all.

I assume at some point they'll fix ranked but yeah, I don't like that much either.

happened again. soooo terrible. have no motivation to play anymore. i've probably put 100+ hours into this game, but i can't continue if i'm going to be punished for shit that's out of my control

I feel your pain. I lost 12 points the other day in a 1 v 3 coming back from 3 down only to lose on a freak bounce in OT (to be fair I missed a couple gimmes... should have had it... grrrr)
Why oh why did I let myself get pulled back in to ranked play???

Man, did people just get better? Or did I get worse? Or did something happen with matchmaking? I've dropped over 100 rank points in the last 3-4 days. Just can't win anymore
Sorry if you got stuck with me as a teammate =/

You do lose points, but it's delayed by a bit so you don't see the drop right away. I don't think you lose extra like the person who leaves first though (same as if you stay and lose), and you definitely don't get the ban

Everyone's different, but I get no fun out of that. I have to play with people I know.
I played the game a lot before any of my friends got it and I get really frustrated when I play with them now cause most of em are still in the ballchasing stage and there's very little coordination going on. Ranked solo 3's I get matched up with people more my rank and have more even and fair games and have a lot more fun because of it.
I can still have fun playing with friends but, not in ranked really.
I am playing 1 vs 1 against randoms almost always. Having fun alone, but of course it is still a great and sometimes even better game with friends.
It's going to boil down to your own character, what you want out of a competitive game, how your brain handles other - faceless - humans that you play with who'll occasionally be much worse or much better than you. That said, I've played practically nothing but non-partied 3vs3 unranked since launch, typically skipping around lobbies until I find one with friendly solo players. RL's my GOTY, so yes it can be fun to solo queue in.

i don't understand this. doesn't the game end when the ball hits the ground? how did it end with the ball in the air like that?

Pretty much this. The thing to remember is that if you find a good lobby, people will keep playing together, so you slowly get to know the teammates over 2-3 matches and you start working together a lot more. Poor lobbies get disbanded after a game or two.
Bug, it hit the ground in the goal super hard and didn't register.
this guy appears to be so good that sometimes his opponents stop defending. lol. but he's still got fantastic control of his car in the air.
I need to get that good at aerials. This is where a keyboard fails me
