Yeah the closer we got to that the slower the matchmaking got. Well back to my season I guess.

Yeah man, I've seen the defensive aerials and reverse aerials, possibly from you. Interesting that his best defense is a constant offense. For most players, defense is important, and usually manageable since most attacks come from the ground.
With someone like Kronovi, his aerial game must make it harder to play defense, since it's all about ball possession.
It would be amazing to see in high level matches, where you're seeing crazy offensive aerials, and incredibly accurate aerial saves.
Yeah, but 2v2/3v3 is where I'd like to see it play out most
Man, good luck with the weekend lol
Smaller cars feel nicer to me too, but they are all the same, except for hitboxes.
I am actually wanting to see the hitbox differences. I wonder if anyone is willing to do a comparison. I know it's supposed to be small, but can we notice it in replay mode?
But sir I need my fix. Can't you just open a little server up just for me?
I'm the opposite. It wasn't very fun for me just winning most games by 7+ goals. But now I'm playing against people in the top 20 on doubles and there is hardly any goals in the games since everyone is saving aerials. Its really intense.

Also, since people like coolcole are making tutorial vids and since the community over on Reddit and everywhere are keen on making content, I think it'd be super cool if Psyonix hotlinked a Youtube video right into the interface.
They already have links to their Twitter and Subreddit.
Every week could be something cool
Week 1:
"CoolCole93's Tips and Tricks for New Players"
Click on YT icon > Opens Youtube on PS4 Web Browser > Instant sense of community.
Uncharted TV was really remarkable in that sense, and this game is just such a damn good esport that the community practically is coming together to create content.

This is the 3rd day in a row that the servers have went down just as I'm about to leave work.
I prefer 2v2, I think thats mainly because I don't like getting hit around and that seems to happen a lot in 3v3. Along with there being a lot more space to make plays in 2v2.

Aerial saves are kinda easy once you get to the point where backwards reverse aerialing is almost as simple as forwards lol. Aerial blocks when the other player is quite a way in front of you are hardest imo. You have to try and guess where your opponent is hitting it, and then get there in time. If you misjudge it you can look silly.
However, if you're going for an aerial block and the opponent is quite far away, you're not always expected to actually hit the ball. Just blocking the space between your opponent and the goal forces them to put it to the sides. Of course that can then mean they dominate you for a bit as the ball is in your corner...
Yeah there's a lot to think about lol.

Whole thing is good but skip to 4:40 if you want, the orange team are 2-0 down with 45 seconds left...

I hear ya brother.
Psyonix be like:
Those sly devils.
I can't be annoyed at the devs but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't disappointing that I haven't been able to play online yet.
THIS GAME, MAN... Holy SHIT. This is the game of my dreams. This is the greatest thing ever.
Now how the hell do I play with GAF. I'm not resting until I get to play with GAF (jk I'm going to sleep. I'll be on in 8 hours). But seriously. What do I do. Is there like a group or something? Need my Steam profile link?

Totally agreed on games with hardly any goals. Easily the most fun when you play low scoring games. The aerial saves are great, but it seems that the next step to expect is aerial offense. So I expect those high scoring games to happen again when people start learning how to do aerial goals
Hopefully the defense can keep up. It's one thing I'm really curious to see unfold. The learning experience in this game is really so naturally well done, and it should be awesome to see how most players end up weeks from now.
2v2 has awesome plays. You can make so many great, controlled moves with your partner. Rebounds and centering are good strategies, and you can do some genuinely good one timer shots.
3v3 adds more defensive play, I think, as you usually have a dedicated defenseman who makes it harder to get a score in. Usually you see a rush of 3 players, but it's spread out so that you always have one guy able to run back into defense when needed. In 2v2, you tend to move as a unit, so you either defend or attack together.

Yeah thats what I mean by aerial saves, sorry. I mean that people are starting to save my aerial shots usually even if an aerial shot went on target it was a goal.

Holy crap I love this game . Ive been playing 4 hours straight and went from really bad to really good pretty fast I think. I mean I'm no pro but its good to score 3-4 times in one match haha. Waaaaay less confusing then i thought it would be. The cars physics just make sense. The controls are perfect

The truly golden thing in this video is that straight up demolition of the goaltender. Lol. Dude would have been a pain in the ass otherwise.
You need to make videos on these questions/scenarios I have lol. I'm thinking a lot about it. A lot of people would really love the discussion I think, and it's neat to think about all the meta-play.

Yeah I loved that, especially since the 'keeper had already made 2 or 3 saves of perfect shots.

It was down for about 15 minutes and was up for 12 hours straight before that.

It's random but bodies have an increased chance so you tend to get them early.

Wait a second, you can only play splitsceen online if both players have an PSN account with plus? What the fuck? In the beta it wasnt like this.
Can anyone confirm this? Sucks if true...
Oh sweet. Was hoping it was randomised
Never had this much fun in a game in a long long time. Jesus. I can already see hundreds of hours going into this.
I mean you can already score own goals. I accidentally did that, but it was registered as a goal the other team had scored, while I should have been me who scored an own goal. They should fix that.

There's some arcane restrictions around this, but from our understanding as long as the first player has the console set to his primary console, it should work. We went back and forth quite a bit with Sony about this issue but ultimately we're limited to their rules.

The series is currently this:
Me introducing basic mechanics and how to improve.
Me introducing flying and how to get to grips with it.
Kronovi talking through advanced gameplay mechanics, such as flying then dodging, wall aerials, etc.
Me talking through basic matchplay tactics (don't go for the ball if you spawn in goal at kick-off etc.
Kronovi talking about advanced matchplay tactics (the shit we're discussing here).
Sadly I only have a very temperamental copy of Vegas with which to edit, which is slowing me down massively. I'm gonna TRY and get video 1 out on Saturday though for those sweet sweet new player views.
All this is so crazy for our community. We honestly dreamed about stuff like this when we played SARPBC, making montages and hosting tournaments pretty much just for each-other.
I can only imagine how overwhelmed (and exhausted) Psyonix must feel right now.

Make sure both accounts have that ps4 set as their primary

Thats just stupid, In the beta there was no problems doing this.
Sony just want to milk more plus users.
