Rocket League

[Pidge]

Is just about the most immediately enjoyable football-type game that I've played since Sensible Soccer.

 

Get on it. PS Plus.

 

My OG per game rate is higher than Wes Brown and Carra combined, but I win manage to win more than I lose.

Downloading this. Is it just online?

[Dan Vito Corleone]

No it has a single player mode too.

[Byrnie]

It's ace.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

It is really fun, I can't win a game online to save my life but there you go!

[Elite]

This game is fucking awesome!

[Pidge]

Had my solo rank plummet this week, had my ass kicked all over the place. I'm like 13 now...

[Elite]

I love it but am ridiculously shit. I have been doing 2v2s online and am chuffed if I score one goal a game, some cunts bang them in for fun.

[Furmedge]

I am shite at this game. But I love it.

[Elite]

Need some tips from pidge.

Only just downloaded this and I'm really enjoying it.

 

I pretty much left football games as soon as moves lists came in, so to play something with that Sensi vibe of pick-up-and-play is great.

 

The moment you try to stop a goal and ricochet it towards your own net is terrible though.

[Furmedge]

Just bagged a hat trick. Was still only third highest ranked in my team though. We did win 11-0 like.

[Elite]

Getting the hang of it now, it's all about timing.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I found widening the field of view helped.

 

I'm sticking with a slow car for now, as I keep flying past the ball.

Timing

A touch of boost in the air gives you some floaty goodness and you can knock a high bouncing ball in while everyone else is waiting for it to drop.

Like football, running onto the ball is going to beat the mug sat below it, so pulling back to the halfway line while everyone else is in a corner can be a good tactic.

Timing.

A forward roll is even faster than a boost. Not the extra boosty boost, just the normal one.

Let other players fuck it up so you can score off their mistakes.

Hit everyone. On the other side.

Don't drive directly towards the ball while chasing it into your own net.

Timing.

A bigger boost in the air with a little tilt back can make you fly which is usually useless but looks impressive in replays and you can look down on everyone else with cont-TIMING!

Don't knock your teammates about too much.

If you start in the goal, you're job is to defend.

 

Also, I'm not very good either.

I didn't know there were proper positions, I've been haring out of goal like a numpty.

I just hang back now and charge in when there's a chance of a shot. Also good for defending, although defending can be impossible at times with so of the awkward bounces.

 

Anyone bothered with the single player league? I keep meaning to start it but onlines too addictive.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I'm sticking to online for now.

 

I was on for my first hat-trick last night and for the third goal, just as it was rolling over the line, some cheeky sod claimed it for himself. It's great when everyone works together though, there's a much better team dynamic than I initially thought.

Do you play 3 on 3?

 

I prefer doubles get more action.

I prefer doubles get more action.

 

I've been playing 3 or 4 a side.

 

I've yet to try 2 on 2, as I figure while I'm still learning I'll be less of a drag when there are more people on my side.
