The first part of the video is about camera settings, which is a little interesting. However, as people have been talking about ballcam and when to use it, I thought this would be useful for a lot of us. The ballcam part with Kronovi starts around 5:35. | ||

I'll happily keep that on all the time then (except when AA-ing back to goal). | ||

The initial setting I actually found the most interesting. Upon loading the game, my FPS experience immediately said "bigger FOV options?! Sign me up!" so that was bit validating. Holy moley does Camera Stiffness/Camera Swivel make a HUGE difference!! I felt like I had to be so delicate before, but with these settings I over-correct much less. @gTank thanks for letting me play with you guys the other night! That was SUPER fun... holy crap. Rocket League is much more intense with 'zee Germans screaming and trash-talking in your ear . Very much enjoyed it! | ||

With 2v2 and 3v3, there are some incredible combinations that can be pulled off. Each 5 minute game is basically a non-stop highlight reel, and it's easy to pull out best plays and incredible goals just like with the real sport. It's more entertaining than real football in many ways, I used to watch football but 90 minute games is just too long, and most games are fairly dull to be honest unless it's the world cup or champions league finals. Maybe in the future, it's possible to have even bigger maps and 4v4 or 5v5, with maybe 10 minute games, there are many ways it can succeed and I think that with a good community, it can really be awesome. I would love to watch Rocket League tournaments, and can't wait to see this game take off! And best of all it's really fun and each time you play, you will be wow'ed by someone else or laugh when someone completely misses the ball and rockets past ^^ | ||

Streams links: Cosmic Aftershock Gibbs Sad Junior Team Rocket: TeamRocketRL These are the two big teams and the two expected to meet in the finals! Semis currently live. The Untethered is another top team potentially meeting Cosmic Aftershock in the finals, but their streams are currently down. Maybe they're worth a follow to check out some play: Lachinio Waffles Erected Naps EDIT: Cosmic Aftershock through to the finals to play one of the other two included teams. Team Rocket and Untethered currently live on TeamRocketRL! EDIT #2: Cosmic Aftershock and Team Rocket final confirmed. Beginning shortly and the above streams. EDIT #3: Cosmic Aftershock wins 4-1 over Team Rocket. I'll try to find some VODs. The games were really good! :D | ||

How hard is it to copy paste the 2v2 system into 3v3? I can't play this game anymore, you hit a ceiling where its pure RNG and if you get 20 downies in a row, no matter how good you play, they'll ruin it for you. | ||

Solo'ing a random shooter game is one thing, the average kid on there has played CoD before so he knows what a gun does.... But clearly no one who plays rocket league has been out of their basement and playing an actual sport... ever. No matter what, my teammates just blob on the ball, try to steal every goal but end up redirecting a clear goal OFF from the target... How hard is it to copy paste the 2v2 system into 3v3? I can't play this game anymore, you hit a ceiling where its pure RNG and if you get 20 downies in a row, no matter how good you play, they'll ruin it for you. It can be frustrating for sure dude... I feel ya. But I would venture to say that it's actually easier to carry in this game then the average shooter and for sure the average MOBA. When Huddleball is happening, it's quite easy to poach loose balls and protect goal. Fighting through the lowest levels solo is about learning the art of letting your teammates make their play and compliment them accordingly. One of the latest Youtube guides suggested that if solo queueing, always assume the defensive role until someone pushes you out of that role. While it does suck getting partied with potatoes, there's so much positionally to learn from the average game. And the games iterate so quickly! I feel like an hour spent laddering is an actual ladder session rather than a game or two. BUT... the real problem I'm seeing is that you haven't signed up for our Buddy List! I've had some good times duoing with Scarbo already pushing us up through the 500s. gTank and the his RL buddies have some fun games going! Join up and play with us! It's much much nicer playing with people in skype/TL TeamSpeak. | ||

It's much much nicer playing with people in skype/TL TeamSpeak. Maybe it's because I'm very good at CS, but I find it much much easier to carry potatoes in a shooter. Plus, they even the worst of the worst understands "point crosshair at guy and shoot", whereas these guys dont seem to understand crosses (centered balls) and positionning, half the time im setting up for an angle on a shot and the second im about to hit, my teammates hit it out of my shot... I got to about 500 solo but now back to like 290-320 because I just lose every game... Nobdy can goalie for s*** but when I stay back I have to look at these doorknobs bumping into each other trying to steal their own team's goals and screwing it up all the time | ||

Some of the easiest goals come from playing goalie and your opponents completely selling out for a goal, only to leave their neat wide open for a long shot. | ||

As someone who gravitates more towards playing like a defensive/facilitating midfielder, it's those rare moments in solo 3's queue, where my teammate is always there for my centers... Oh man it feels so good. My playtime will be spotty for the next week, but definitely add me for some games :D. | ||

I suck so much, but so do all the other people in normal matches, its really hard to not press the button for 1 more match. Genius game, simple and fun and yet so much skillcap. | ||

The new arena is a bit weird though, it feels larger and there's too much bloom, hoping they will fix it as boost pads on red side are quite hard to see. The walls appear to have no texture until you get close too. But it's fun to play in not sure if I prefer 'vanilla' arena's or the new one, gonna have to play it more I guess. I also believe 4 bucks for 2 cars is a bit on the heavy side (20% of initial game purchase cost) so I'll most likely not bother with any of that. edit: I'm not a smart man when it comes to numbers! | ||

Im ok with the dev making cosmetics to cash in a bit after selling the original game for cheap or even for free on PS and suddenly having huge interest in his work. | ||
