Rocket League

[Brend]

100 for solo, over 350 for both doubles and standard. Haven't played much ranked overall. At some point, ranked matches will be out of "pre-season" and the rankings will go back to base 100 again.

Yup, and that point has changed about 5 times! Longest pre-season ever.

 

[Davidies]

I've gotten sucked into this game as well. I'm only rank 5 at the moment, but I should probably be at 10 due to offline/online problems.

So I noticed something recently. Everyone basically leaves the lobby once they see that I'm a 'Veteran'. At first I thought it was a coincidence a few weeks ago when I got it. But it's pretty obvious now. I'm not bad, I can fly pretty well but using that ball cam is just nuts when it pops up in the air. But if PCars didn't come out this year, I'd say its GOTY.

My only complaint is the lag and disconnects, maybe move the game-finding window to the left so it doesn't cover up the window behind it. Otherwise it's near perfect.

Hmm, that above incident is weird since I normally get matched up with people in my tier (Veteran)

3v3 standard unranked with a friend yesterday and we had a match go 0-0 in regulation, and then 9:22 into overtime. We ended up losing. I had 7 shots on goal. Just couldn't get anything to go in.

Ahh man those feels when the OT goes longer than the regular match time limit

I was once in a 3v3 too, it ended 2-2 and then 7:45 into overtime. We did end up winning that though. It feel really satisfying to win after that long.


A problem I've noticed with this game is that I need to be 0% tired to play it. If I am just a bit tired, I don't enjoy the game and think ''I am too tired to be this excited. I'll play later.''

 

[TrevorPhilips]

I played this game so much yesterday, every time I shut my eyes I see that massive flashing ball bouncing about!

Looks like I'm going to platinum trophy this game, only need one more trophy... Since I've never got round to "platinuming" any game game must be super easy to do!

 

[GTPorsche]

Teammate made a shot on goal. Instead of swarming in to try to slam it in better, I went around it, bashed the opposing player out of the way and the ball rolled nicely into the goal. The guy who scored the goal went on to say I was the real MVP.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

And @Fyshokid will win everything

Oh, cool. I didn't realize fysho was on GTP. You probably don't remember, but a couple friends and I (I__Like_Oranges)played against you in the semi finals at one of the ESL tournaments.

 

[Carbonox]

Today I had a 4v4 game with GTP'ers against randoms where we overcame a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 after a last-minute goal followed by a 6-minute overtime. In terms of personal stats, I've had a lot better games than that though.

Still need to get around to buying this on PC... had all my money saved up and everything in case it went on sale, but Dragonball Xenoverse just went on sale and I'm currently selling TF2 items to afford that instead.

 

[m8h3r]

Massively overplayed SSARPBC and would love this but no PS4/Powerful enough pc.

 

[Carbonox]

Scored 4 goals in a 7-4 victory for GTP'ers at a 3v3 match against pretty professional-looking fellows. Well, they looked professional until they forfeited right at the end. Good game though.

 

[JvM]

I'm 'Pro' (lv.26), could do with some matches in a decent party. 👍 (I'm barely half-decent myself)

Those titles only correlate with levels.

Played ranked last night. Got my ranking up around 160 so far. It's gonna take a while with it only going up 6-8 points per game.

 

[Carbonox]

Karma is a bitch on Rocket League sometimes. In this one game, the randoms tied the game after one of them shoved me out of the goal so his teammate could score a freebie. About 20 seconds later, he watched from the prime spot as I slammed in the winning goal of the match.

Then comes the next game, where one of them decides to shove me around for seemingly no reason. Promptly afterwards, I catch a loose ball and hit it towards their net. It would've missed, if the shover-man didn't awkwardly redirect it into his own goal. That was another victorious game, in fact I don't recall losing to any randoms tonight.

And of course, in our last game, @DrifterJoe got a new catchy nickname from one of the opponents (not particularly AUP-friendly), and proceeded to score not too long after that. I think he got about 4 or 5 goals in that match.

 

[Brend]

Currently sitting at 972 goals with a 3.2 GPG average...1000 is near.

 

[Ellis]

Tonight i played with some GTP chums. Many banters were had. In our first game, we played some marvellous tactical teamwork in our first game to gain a 7 goal lead within 4 minutes. But in incredible scenes they brought it back to 7-3 with 30 seconds left. The match was tense. I couldn't believe my eyes. But in a spartan-esque scene of defiance we held out for the victory.

My brow was moist with tension

I felt pretty moist too when you ricocheted my shot into your goal just a minute ago.

 

[Jump_Ace]

I'm not sure why, but nearly every game that has freezes and disconnects are Ranked games. So, I stopped. But I don't really feel the need to know how I rank. Bouncing between this and Mario Maker, both great games.

Nothing like playing this game while listening to some GT4/GT5 lounge music

I been getting better at this game. Found out a few little things that made me better. Currently on level 28 and when it comes to the new ranking thing they added I'm at 171 at the moment.Oh and I platinum the game a few weeks ago.

That was a dark moment I have to say

Just had a mega game where I equalised with the timer set to 0:01

This game is making me put down PCARS, that's how good it is.

Don't think that would have been me. I haven't played any ESL tourneys.

Now try to do that with the timer at 0:00.

need to try that, love how the game doesn't end till the ball hits the ground. Stroke of genius.

Yes, it is a nice touch. That's how I managed an aerial goal with 0:00 remaining.

I haven't played PCars since before July 4th or whenever this game came out. It works too well to sit and play a quick match while being a baby daddy 👍
