xbox players are probably garbage. except the ones that already played on pc and ps4.
Surely. Rocket League is a thing that takes tons of time to learn.

That's awesome! A larger player base is a good thing for everyone. Are MS finally easing up on this stuff (perhaps realizing that refusing to allow it doesn't really achieve anything except screw Xbox players over), or is this a special case in the face of this game's smashing success and popularity? Would look pretty bad if they keep saying no to other devs that want to do the same after this, no?
EDIT: Oh, it's actually a new Xbox-wide policy. Very good.
EDIT 2: Oh, PSN/XBL cross-play isn't actually happening, at least not right now. I guess people on Steam will randomly be matched with either PSN or XBL players then? So that makes this good news for XBL and Steam players, less so for PSN players (since XBL will "steal" a bunch of our Steam competitors). Still, overall this is good. Let's hope they eventually get all the way to that hot network threeway we all want.

All the world leaders will get together and say "gg" except for Putin. He'll say his connection was being wonky.

I tweaked them already. Today everything should be smooth again.
Here is a gif of a goal I made a few days ago:
I like it because it was actually kinda planned that way, haha.

I just played a game during lunch and scored 5 out of our 6 goals (in ranked doubles, which is my go-to).
Insane how much better I played today.

Why do the trash talkers refuse to 1v1 me? If you're gonna talk shit about your teammates back it up bro.
I'll trash talk the other team every once in a while if I sense that one of them is an easy bait and I might get him off his game
I never shit on my teammates though, that's just pathetic
Same, because I still have to switch to my ps4 to play with irl friends and switch back to my PC to play with everyone else.
1s=/=2s
My friend can nearly beat me in 1s, hes a trash 2s partner, doesn't know how to center for his life.

Perhaps, but the point is if you're gonna talk shit you shouldn't back down from a challenge like that. Preferably people just wouldn't talk shit but there you go.
But in any case, the guy was in no way a better team player than me.
Also it was 3s and he was talking shit to our other partner too.

i'm psyched that i can finally get to play this with my xbone friend, but...one thing that I remember is that you can't even party with PC (if you're on Ps4). is there not gonna be parties when full crossplay is implemented?

Doubtful. The would need to create their own network for that to be possible.
Ignore them. Those type of people are usually the worst on the team. Just laugh it off.

or an in-game friend system?
But that would rely on their own network still.
Confusing or difficult is a different question- I'm not a programmer by any means, so I can't tell you that, but yes, it is extra work for them.
Wonder if it's a technical reason, or Sony haven't given the go ahead to blay with XB1 yet. Even if they allow it in some cases, it still might need to be approved on a case by case basis.
That is actually an insane amount of work because you need to build your own network for that, then get voice chat working over that while allowing the party system of the console to still work because there mandatory.
Just hook a headset to your phone or laptop and Skype it up if it's important.

Literally me in opposite fashion. I'm great at 2v2, but usually get thrashed by any mid-to-high-level 1v1 player.
Same. I can set anything up in rising star (which is what I'm at currently, still relatively going up when I play) which means I'm a great teammate if you can shoot on center/read when to shoot.
But...1s? Hah. Learning how to center perfectly and over the opponents doesn't help in 1s too much >_>

That used to be me until I started to try to learn how to dribble. Drive around in free play just doing nothing other than trying to control the ball on top of your car. A good thing to practice actually is go in to aerial training on all star but instead of going for the shot, wait for the ball to come down and attempt to drive the ball to the goal on top I you car without it touching the ground.
Do that a lot and it jus improves your overall close control of the ball. The thing is, that absolutely makes you a better player in team games too. Gives you more options.
I wasn't in top form today, but I got this save:

I'm pleased with this one. Freestyle aerials are still beyond me.

This was me last night, maybe it was a bug going around.
Wow that's fucking awesome. This game/devs just keeps getting better.

the higher i move through brackets, the more i want to quit. people seem to be assholes way more and it just saps the fun out of trying
It goes
Prospect- Casual, we dont mind you
Challenger- Cesspool, rot in hell, you're the reason I lost
Anything higher- Yo, it's cool, minor error and all, obviously you didn't get this far doing that daily anyways (9-12)

I'm in shooting star, and I've got dudes claiming I'm boosted and that I'm trash and always point me out. I know I make mistakes but it can't possibly be me all the time :/
Jeez, talk about bad luck. I'm rising star and I don't see it.

I don't know if it makes me sound insane but I'd get a "rocket league: crossplay edition" if it meant the best-case scenario of crossplay. in game friends list so you can party up with (in my case) xbone friends and PC friends.
it's that worth it to me.

It's up to Sony now.
And regarding what you said about the work it's true and they have also said not only is building the network hard they would also have to hire people full time to keep it running and they aren't that big of a studio.

Awesome shot! Also great example of horrid defense -- what was the last blue car back thinking charging over toward you instead of going to / covering the net?

They need a serious punishment for AFKers in ranked, a 15 minute ban clearly not enough because I'm getting people AFK every other match, sometimes several in a row.
They also need void any ranking penalty for the loss that obviously follows 90% of the time, just gone down 2 ranks since 7 of last 10 games had an AFKer.

Yeah no, this is a borderline terrible idea because of the implications.
AFKing is very rare compared to what you're saying, I haven't seen one in the past week and I've played a good 15+ hours, no way you're at a multiple over 50x my rate.
Regardless of that, voiding your loss is kind of pointless, it's like saying void a match because my teammate isn't as good as me or such, it devalues rank. If you're on a smurf, what's to stop you from telling your friend to not move, then you win the game? It's free painless wins. The other implication is a result of the other team not being barred from gaining points for the match - which we can all agree is reasonable and fair. In these systems, you can't have a point increase without point loss, or everyone would just MMR grind by a gentleman rule.
TL;DR This doesn't work in a ranking system and there's no way that AFK number is accurate/not greatly exaggerated.
Like in most ranked games, AFK and match quitting vary greatly depending on the rank you're playing at. Usually people try harder the higher you are ranked, so experiences can vary.
During my time with the game on Xbox One, I haven't seen anyone doing something like this: Using the boost to land on the wall and then perform an aerial from there:
