Does the new car (Endo) have the same hitbox/turning radius as a current car? I don't think it has at the moment.
It was said the Twin Mill was the same as the Batmobile but that isn't the case either AFAIK.

It's supposed to be similar to Dom/X-Devil. We won't really know for sure until it releases.

They can't do what platform holders won't allow. I'm sure they pushed these things as much as they could. Hopefully they still try.

it might be higher up off the ground due to wheels but the cars hitbox is the exact same iirc. Turning radius is slightly different.

Mountain out of a molehill.
Storm in a teacup.
etc.
Generally speaking I have no tolerance for pay to win games and shady DLC practices. Trying to put RL in that tier of game is just absurd. Maybe this is a good time to remind everyone that Octane exists?

Surely that's not possible? I know that was rumored to be the case before launch, but the Twinmill is only half as wide as the batmobile. If it were the same hitbox tons of corner hits would look like they never connect with the car.
Psyonix has said it's the same hitbox lol.
The corners dont perfectly match what you see.

That's really weird. It's the only car I can think of that doesn't feel remotely like another with an identical hitbox to me. Like switching between it and the Batmobile is like going from Octane to Dominus for me. Just doesn't feel similar at all. I guess we're not gonna be getting another car like the Batmobile either :/
I was really hoping we'd get something that feels similar to me eventually.
They have to.

does anyone play this with the steam controller? if so, how is it?

Just been to RLE. This is a bit of PSA I guess but I'd be VERY wary of the trading scene right now. It would appear the mods have been covering up price manipulation, on more than a single occasion. There's two threads right at the top worth reading all the way through.
I purchased a steam controller last week but haven't set up my PC in a while. Can let you know as soon as I try (within next couple of days) if that helps?
Legit nothing they can do if MS says no >_>

Holy crap. The RLE mods literally just deleted the posts outing them and created an echo chamber thread of apologists instead. So does anyone know any other good trading sites? Cause fuck that shit.
Edit: currently deleting all dissenting opinions now it seems. Accounts not posts.

Rocket League garage is the one I use. Lots of lowballers there but it's a big enough site that you can get stuff done fairly.

Thanks, I'll give this one a shot. I did use Steam in the past but it seems kinda slow to move stuff on there these days, it's also the haven of all the scammers unfortunately. A few low ballers are fine compared to some of the other stuff I've ran into.

That'd be awesome. I was going to impulse buy one today but held off because RL is my most played game and I wouldn't want to spend the cash if I'll mostly still be using an XB1 controller

Thanks for the recommendation for the other trading site! Things are moving hands much faster over here, and while you need to have your wits about you, as long you know your values pretty well it's not too much trouble to stay on the right end of the deal. There's more people trying the stunt of setting a deal and then trying to add stuff in while jacking the price, but as always it's easy to shut it down by backing out of the trade and letting them decide if the shenanigans are worth it. SO much easier to track down the items you're after though, so even weeding through the fools it still winds up being a much faster method.
Pricing in this market makes no sense though to me. Swapped Crim Loopers for Saffrom Voltaics back when loopers sucked, just sold the same Voltaics and bought FG and Crimson ARA-51, both of which complement Hexed best of all the wheels IMO, plus are two of the higher valued colors. Not complaining that I seem to be profiting consistently but you need some serious foresight to predict this stuff, like I could have made more holding the loopers but I'd have had to predict a patch to improve them. I'm so glad that finally one of my favorite wheel types is actually a cheap one or once though. Zomba's saved my wallet by having that unwelcome second color.

In the last 2 weeks or so match making takes ages for me.....
I'm on PS4 and play mostly non competitive matches with cross play disabled....I'm not great or anything (I usually peak at challenger elite while playing competitive) but would still always get a match within 20-30 seconds tops until recently. I constantly get connected and immediately disconnected from servers in a way I never did before. It sucks.....

I get the crossplay-not-permitted error at least once per matchmaking attempt. I have crossplay enabled.

I wish they'd kill Colosseum too. Not a fan of the altered maps too much anyway, but I've always hated that map and I don't think I've finished a match on it in player matches in ages. Usually quit the second that loads at this point. Tbh even if we could just double up on the thumbs down to never see it again I'd waste an extra thumb on it.
Kinda stuck on what to do now though. Buy the hexed I've been wanting or see what happens with the new crate. I'm guessing there's new BM's? Not mention I kinda want the car and furry paint.

Never minded Neo Tokyo, but a standard version would probably be my favorite map...anyway I'd much rather see starbase taken out of ranked.
Really excited for the new update and ranks. Despite topping out at Challenger Elite div 5 :'(
I'm also curious if there will be more season rewards now with there being more ranks.

Aesthetically, one of the best perhaps. Despite kinda liking NT I did find a bit of an oddity with those raised walls. At least by getting a standard version we'll still have that stunning outer design on a map people are happy to play more often.
Bit that interests me is the mention of these maps not being used in pro games. I'm kinda curious just how minute the differences would have to be from a standard map to get it accepted into RLCS.

Zero deviation mostly. Wasteland has a slope that makes the ball react differently, Starbase is just weird with it walls and corners. It makes things harder to read and pros don't like that cause it ads randomness. Sure they can practice more on those maps to learn them more but when they are never picked and 90% of the maps are standard most don't bother. I think it's pretty clear non standard maps have unanimously been rejected for competitive play.
It's more work but i think a cool solution would be to always release a standard version for competitive play.

That's kind of what I find strange about it to be honest. I'd already figured the pros just want standard maps personally, but it's surprising to see Psyonix still trying after all this time. I figured they'd just do this stuff for the rest of the player base but they still seem adamant about getting pros using them.
I do think your solution is the best route though. Tbh I'd rather they broke them off into rocket labs again or put them all in rumble.
I can imagine it's really frustrating for the devs wanting to switch it up but stuff often being shunned or becoming another snow day.
The issue is moreso neo tokyo is sloped and alters the game in a way people don't like at higher level.
Wastelands curves can be learned, and starbases corners go exactly where you'd expect them to if you read where it hits, but neo tokyo has two major issues
The back wall is raised awkwardly with heavy curves on it so it's extremely inconsistent to slam it at the wall and try to move to where it'll go before it hits the wall.
The ramps are very hard to challenge from so you just sit in goal waiting to block a powershot- it's a lot less fun, if playable. This is why while people *can* deal with it, most usually hate neo way more than the other maps.

Well the funny nothing is devs wanted standard maps for RL. Which is why all the first maps were standard. Then there was an outcry from the community and pros for non standard maps that lasted up until they actually came out lol.

That's a really good point. I'd never really even thought about it before but I never use the back wall or corners on Neo Tokyo and always go for a drag instead or pop it straight out toward the goal. Probably why I struggle to set myself up on there a bit more than usual too.
Lol that sounds about right. I can see how it would have been more appealing as a distant dream rather than a reality though. I still even manage to set myself up for disappointment by being excited by new maps every now and then only to remember it's one I didn't like on rocket labs.
Yeah it's diff at a level even higher than I play, because they have to make these decisions extremely fast so extra variables they see 1/20 games are awful.

^^^ glad to hear! I didn't mind octagon as I like larger playing surface and the walls were clearly defined making bounces more readable. Arc on the other hand everything (ball, players, field, walls) just blends together making it hard to see. And walls just blend together resulting in lots of unreadable bounces.
This is my issue. To me, learning to trap and dribble to sidewall to start a drag is a skill that gives you an advantage. Wall play outside of the the two back walls is almost completely taken out of the game. Now trade off was the high ceilings which encouraged more aerials / aerial passing BUT why even have the trade off. Word is a standard Neo Toyko is coming and that will be best of both worlds. You get something new, adding to gameplay (enhanced aerial play) without taking away / sacrificing the core element of wall play / side-to-side action.
I know it's a tricky balance but I am all for non-standard maps that ADD to the game without taking away core gameplay elements from standard maps.

Gods it's so good running into shit-talking Trumpers on Rocket League. That feeling after kicking their ass always makes my day.
It's so good.
It's so good.
Only the SARPBC folks wanted non-standard. Since Rocket League blew up over the year before they introduced them, the new fans/hardcores that never played SARPBC's think standard is the only way to play (and I'm with them).
Dust Bowl isn't bad as it's basically a pool with two goals at the ends. Same with Starbase and it's easy to read bounces.
NeoTokyo is just awful because the stupid ramps throw the entire game out of wack (cars flying going up the ramps, weird bounces).
Frankly, they need to let players be able to hard ban every map in the game besides one if that's what they want. Dust2 for Rocket League being... forgetting it's name Standard? Go for it.
