if the red bar is the goal and the ball is hitting above the goal
roughly instead of

which is what we had earlier, we'll now get a consistent
not quite that hard of a drop but you get it

They just had to make the game more kiddy. I'm guessing they removed the bare tailpipes? Fucking censorship, man.

Always has turned slower than breakout and Dominus.
No info on Xbox One? :/

I find all the best teammates. My team beat him the round previous. This is ranked btw.

I wish they'd make some of the special playlists available in ranked. Ranked snow day or rocket labs would be cool.
Yeah, I somehow thought that someone would have already posted after me xD

This is coming with the Hoops update along with replay renaming.

Have you got basketball scoring in with the hoops mode? Including a 3 point line?

No patch notes about changes to turning radius, but the Breakout and perhaps Dominus feel different. The Batmobile feels the same to me--quick to turn but not as tight with the handbrake--but the Breakout (and according to some on reddit, the Dominus) feel like they take longer to turn now. The Breakout in particular feels sluggish to me, whereas before it felt quick and even a little squirrely. Anyone notice differences in the Breakout or Dominus?
I know they changed the hitboxes. For example, they shortened the the length of the hitbox on the Breakout and Batmobile. Both are closer to the Dominus (according to a redditor who has measured them), and I'm guessing this will help with clipping on the bottom curve of walls and sometimes the inclined floor on Wasteland. It appears that the Breakout and Dominus now have very similar hitboxes. I wonder if they tuned the Breakout's handling to be a bit more like the Dominus.

Can you imagine 1v1s in hoops mode? It would be a barrage of 3-pointers as people make mistakes and get burned with the long goal. Not sure if that would be fun or frustrating.
Since the hoops playlist will be 2v2, a 3-point line (or 2-point going by street ball scoring) might discourage the second player from coming up. You might see people chipping the ball up for an alley-oop to their teammate and then hustling back to their zone. Not as exciting as crashing the offensive glass for the tip jam.
Unless of course, the 2/3-pointer was designed to only count if it didn't hit the floor. That would require some aiming and might be fun.
EDIT: Whoops... Sorry! Double post! :-/

The changes / slight differences between hitboxes and handling make me wonder if doing so is a waste of energy for the developers as well as the user base.
Why are they different at all? Why not actually have the cars perform exactly the same whilst being cosmetically different? Or if for some reason the cars have to be different how about just let the user pick from say 3-4 balanced "classes" of hit box / handling to apply to their car of choice, so you can pick the car you like most without worrying you are losing an edge by doing so.
I feel like they want to cater to both sides of argument and in doing so nothing really changes. They update all the cars, progressively making them more alike to encourage variety but at the end of the day -- because the cars are still different -- there are always 2-3 cars that are deemed best statistically which results in the other cars largely getting ignored.

Not sure if I like the new physics - feels like the ball is deadened by the wall so drops quicker than before making aerials a bit harder to make as youve got less time.
If its more consistent though thats a good thing once Ive figured it out. Still doesnt always feel like a real bounce though...
Anyone feel that the side flip should have more lateral movement rather than rotate through the axis?

I'm going to go with the good old "community evolves the meta"
I'm curious what happens if everyone stops using octane and say, starts using a 'bad' car- I think we have a lot to learn from them. The issue is that high level players are sticking with a few only.
The old bounce was much more artificial
What reaches the apex of it's arc, hits something, then goes flying upwards?
And nah, don't need lateral on side flip
hhhhggggggg, I hate the new physics. Ball bonces much less, and rebounds are a bit strange now.
Now not sure if it was lag or physics but some times the ball would bounce to the totally wrong direction after a 2 hit.
Whats the point of aerials now
, half of the fun gone in there.

That sounds like lag. Never seen something like that happen on my end before or after.

I'm warming up to unranked, guys. Yeah you have to deal with quitters, but once the teams get even and you get people who want to play, the rematches with the same group of people over and over again are soooo fun. It's a nice consistent lighthearted atmosphere. It's nice.

Physics are noticeably different for me. Especially when the ball hits a wall, it bounces in a way that is more predictable. At least to me.
Had a hot streak in 3s with two mates last night, played probably 20-25 games and only lost 2. Didn't div up to All-Star though

Hmm I have to pull myself away from Ratchet & Clank and check this out sometime tonight.
It's nice to see the logo (RocketRoyale) you created in such a big game. It gives me a smile every day i play Rocket League
I know the feeling, I made the one on the left
There was plenty wrong, weird bounces on certain angles and so forth. Wasteland was the worst too which is why they fixed parts of the map itself for that as well. It's so much better now.
Made it better
Those games mostly end on a 1:0 or 2:1. Everyone plays good.
I've been saying it for months.

I really hope Rocket League gets ported to NX. Assuming the NX has a screen controller, which is likely, it means I'll finally have Rocket League away from the TV. Make it happen.

Latency isn't noticeable on the Wii U gamepad.
Depends on your TV.
Nope
Even to a CRT, the pad actually is getting the video 1 frame (maybe 2, I think 1) quicker, they did tests on this when the wii u came out
edit: Digital Foundry says 2 frames of lag, going with that.

I just bought the Back To The Future and BvS cars on PS4. PSN store says bought, the in-game store says bought, but I can't find the cars. Are they in garage under body?
Have you downloaded them?

This is seriously my favorite game of all time. I have over 400 hours played in the last 7 or so months and it's only gotten more enjoyable.
Hit me up if you're in the Star rank on PC and want to dominate some doubles
