Do people expect communication in solo standard? I disabled team chat and text chat to minimize abuse but if I want to go into ranked I may have to just deal with shitheads.
Been just playing unranked so far.

abuse starts at mid level and leaves at high level
i remapped air roll to l1, and scoreboard to back button. way better than squareFree weekend means more noobs like me so I can have an easier time!Probably also means more smurfs
Has anyone remapped their controls or do you all play like super pros with default controls?

I have boost on R1/RB and roll on L1/LB. Voice chat is not mapped on mine at all and the scoreboard is on X/Square. Personally I find this is my favorite layout by a mile since the only buttons I ever need to choose between is jump (A/X) or ball focus (Y/Triangle) and I've never needed both at the exact same time. I detest default controls though. There's way too much tied to the face buttons that need to operate together.

People are more likely to use the team quick chats (I got this, take the shot, etc) in competitive compared to casual, but you'll be fine without it. Mostly comes into play on kickoffs.

Just trying it out on Steam and am totally blown away. Should have bought this months ago!
Weirdly reminds me off the classic FPS shooters in the late 90's - Quake 3, Unreal Tournament. Just pure action and fun, no grind, no leveling, no unlocking crap. I can't keep quiet when playing, I'm constantly yelling in excitement and frustration.

UT 2004's Onslaught mode was actually where it all began. They worked on that mode and the car physics and that eventually led to RL.
Wow - it started out as a UT mod? Amazing if true.
Wasn't even a mod, Epic got them to do the Onslaught mode. They were a contributor to Epics games for a little while:

Damn, first I've heard of this. I fucking loved Onslaught mode.
Now I want to play through UT2003 and '04 again...but that's for another thread

Second one reminds me of BB8 from Star Wars. made me think about how coll it would have to have a BB8 Antenna and an Animated R2D2 Topper mounted how they are in Starfighters.

i had a 12 ping in a couple games today.
also smurfing is boring. sure im hitting cool shots, but they arent cool when theres no one to defend or challenge. i just wanna do my placement matches to see where it puts me. but its boring lol.
I'm still terrible at this compared to some of you, but hey, they feel good and I'm getting better at them!

So, after taking time off to focus on my school work for the last month, I finally remembered what burning question I had on my mind.
Is there a way to keep the music playing from the main menu in the matches on PS4? It seems a little silly to have to have Spotify running in the background, especially when I have to pause offline matches just to skip tracks.

Jeez. Psyonix is making it big like no tomorrow. Good for them for being these licensed DLC locked down to the teeth.
Why? Why does the ball have to bounce like that? Argh!

So I just watched the hoops trailer again. Do my eyes decieve me or do kickoffs start with a jump ball? Because if so that's cool.

By design to encourage more scoring opportunities (just like the curved corners). I always assume it's gonna happen so I take a small angle to cover the bounce toward the pitch and side flip accordingly depending on what the ball does. Still get screwed and look like a fool occasionally but such is life in Rocket League

I'm hoping the jump ball will be an option (mutator) for private matches and such. If so I'm betting pros would love it and you will quickly see it in tourneys. A jump ball or the ball simply being dropped straight down from the ceiling are more fitting kickoffs for this game IMO especially when everybody knows how to fly.

Handicap yourself to make it fun / interesting until your MMR gets up to where it should be. No aerials or no jumping (only dribble). No boost, play backwards, etc.
Right, I am a mid tier player,on the verge of promotion from Prospect Elite at expert level. I feel like I have hit a plateau and would like some advice from you good players on the best way to push on and become good at this game. Does freeplay or practise mode help? Am I better continuing to play at ranked and hope that I start progressing again? Help me Gaf!
Learn to aerial. But really, prospect elite-- do the bolded part first.
And I mean learn to land them consistently, and learn to make smart touches that go in.
At prospect elite, it's about getting that consistency down on the ground. If you can't make a shot on the ground perfectly, it's not going in when you add a vertical aspect. Get that dribbling down.
You can probably win until low/mid challenger with very little aerial knowledge. You'll get stuck there a good 20-30 hours while you get aerialing down though, just a heads up.

Rocke League officially ends the debate. The 360 controller is superior to the DS4. Tried going back to the PS4 version. Holy shit the game is so much harder with that controller. I didn't go up a skill level after I switched to the PC version. I just got rid of the thing that was holding me back.
To be specific, the analog stick doesn't give me nearly as much control. Of course so much of the rubber having come off doesn't help.

This game is way more addictive than I thought it would be. I've never had so much fun being horrible at a game before.

I can't tell if games as a whole have gotten so shit or if Rocket League is just that damn good. I've had no desire to play anything else for so long. Probably a bit of both. Zero Time Dilemma seems like the only game in the near future to get me away from Rocket League for a while.

Probably addiction
I mean I play a lot but *plenty* of good games have come out <__>

Cleaning out the capture thing again:

Some ok shots; tbh it hasn't been a great couple of weeks (been fiddling with the camera, maybe we can talk about that later) but that horrible 360 had to be shared.
