Man, the hopium is EXTREME. I love the core gameplay of RL, but it's so clear that Epic is trying to kill the standalone RL and just put it into their big metaverse Fortnite thing. There is no RL in UE5, idk why people think that's still happening. It was never announced and it was just a call to hire someone to work on RL in UE5...which they did. It's called Rocket Racing. THAT is the big "Rocket League UE5". The timeline matches up perfectly for that to be the case. So all of their big stuff and new features is just them slowly integrating (forcing) Rocket Racing and Rocket League until we can't play RL without being in Fortnite.
Rocket racing isnt even in UE5, it's built in the Unreal Engine for Fortnite, which is their own wrapper around UE5. It's basically a fortnite mod in the fortnite engine
Wdym?? RL UE5 was confirmed it's literally a pinned post in the RL subreddit where Devin confirmed it. But clearly stated that they don't have a timeline and he only did that cause it got leaked through a job post and people started freaking out over it
@@redvic83 Don't you think that, in Epic's mind, Rocket Racing IS Rocket League in UE5? To them, they fulfilled the promise. They're going to make RL in Fortnite and call it RL2 in UE5. That's the thing that most benefits them as a company.
Yeah the ranking system made me quit about a month or two ago. After I reached champ level I started caring much less about my rank and focused more on basic mechs and noticed I was getting much better but the games were super inconsistent and then the season started and it made worse. Again I don't care about winning or losing but I do care about playing competitive or close matches and that happens once every 5-10 games.. It stopped being fun and the crazy thing is I still want to play..
@@billyrussell8684 your probably just having a different experience.. no need to knock me for it, I'm just not having fun like I was. I was C2 at best aka I'm trash still so why do you seem so offended by what I said? Because you feel like my numbers may have been exaggerated?
I can relate with that; my mechanical skills have been inconsistent as well. I've seen significant improvement in the last three to four months, but it remains a challenge. In each game, the skills of players in the entire lobby vary so much that it becomes difficult to predict everyone's moves and trust my teammates.
Great explanation on the tutorial part, it would be amazing if they work out something alot nicer, more detailed for example, skate 3 used to have a NPC come up to you and teach you how to do certain stuff, If like an egg would enter the freeplay arena and explain, what a good pass is or certain positioning will end up in getting scored on...
I actually really enjoyed this style of video, very chill vibes with good conversations on things that actually matter for the game. Very well done with the editing as well!
Something to build off what Lawler said about clubs actually doing something, it would be amazing to see a mode where you can queue for a best of X series with your club teammates and have your club with its own rank. Everyone who watches rlcs im sure has wanted to be able to run best of series of their own in the game and not have to wait for a tournament to do so, would also be nice to be able to have a second chance against some opponents unlike in ranked where you lose a match by one goal and then obviously the "What A Save"s start flooding in, this way you could be like "alright, round 2 lets go"
Serious? You mean they should release even more stuff in the shop? HEY HQ THEY WANT TO PAY CREDITS FOR EACH GAME THEY SEARCH!!! REMOVE THE BALL!! MAKE ROCKET PASS MANDATORY TO PLAY!!! I'm 100% sarcastic btw
Epic is the team that will invent a new color, just for a refurbishing of all cars, wheels, etc They will also add a 3rd? 4th? kind of credit to spend your money on
A good idea would be to make clubs useful. My idea would be to have like a 1v1 games against different clubs to get a better drop at the end of the week, for every game you win you get credits to use in the shop
As a custom map maker/speedrunner, the problem that RL presents with custom content is not having access for console players to play the custom maps we make. PC players have access but obviously there is no official platform to download maps. If people do want to find maps, a lot of creators have been including direct download links in the descriptions of their maps on the Steam Workshop. Many single player maps exist, but we simply just are not seeing the traffic like we used to on Steam so I can only assume that the vast majority of players just are not interested in the custom content like people believe they are. Also, the only content creator I know that plays custom maps in their videos are Lethamyr as most content creator seem to not be interested in featuring custom maps on their channels. Epic could have a place for PC players to post and download custom maps in the current version of rocket league as it obviously already exists on Steam but it's been over 3 years now and they haven't accommodated it so I assume that Epic does not care to support it. Psyonix has supported it on the official Rocket League discord by adding a channel to link and discuss custom content but it is pretty inactive. This was kind of a long essay but we can only hope Epic supports custom content in the future. Thanks for making the vid
It will happen. I believe it. And thanks for being such a big supporter of the custom map and speedrunning world. We raced a bit back in the day on one map if you remember lkl
I'd love to play custom maps with my friends... The struggle, they have just enough PC knowledge to do their jobs, but not enough interest or effort to set up a VPN, etc.
Saying rocket racing has anything to do with rocket league is like saying halo has to do with fortnite because theres a masterchief skin, its not halo battleroyal and its not rocket league racing its fortnite racing and the developers are lazy
I'm done listening to false promises from Epic/psyonix. I've given up on them and rocket league. Every year they claim big things are coming and every year people are left completely underwhelmed. Ranked is an absolute shit show and has been for over a year and it's rapidly getting worse. My favorite game is dying and it's simply due to greed and lies from epic. They can blow smoke up everyone else's asses. I'm not trusting a single word from them.
I know I'll keep playing. I love the core game so much, and it doesn't get old. I play fairly casually, but I focus on fun with friends. I never play solo, so I never hate my teammates.
How do you contradict yourself in less than?? If you don't ever solo queue and you only wait for your friends to get on to play then that doesn't mean you're playing casually lol
@@MsDawnKeyballs I don't see how playing with friends makes something non-casual. We don't practice, we don't grind rank, we play once or twice a week, we play a mix of Soccar and alt modes. Feels casual to me. 🤷♂️
also they removed trading to add it back in new game probably. seems obvious. might also implement blockchain NFTs. especially since removing trading like this really makes players appreciate a public decentralized blockchain where their cross game items cannot be physically taken from them even if in-game support is terminated.
I feel like a specific mode where you can browse workshop maps within the game would make the game much more enjoyable. As a pc player with many friends who are on console and can’t do workshop maps it gets really boring with playing the same game. Obviously there are many situations in the standard rocket league game but adding a creative hub like in fortnite we could bring new players in, old players back, and normal players different modes.
"I can't see them doing anything to hurt the game." The amount of delusional hope in this video is staggering. Epic has been gutting RL since the day they bought it. I get being positive, but come on, guys. The future is not bright.
Rocket League players getting hyped that the game is doing the bare minimum of communication (they literally just told us that they can’t tell us anything) is both hilarious and so, so, so sad.
its sad how everyone was so starved for information that a semi vague tweet makes the community go nuts because they got some tiny inkling of communication XD
What is actually being worked on in RL? rocket racing is just fortnite racing with some rocket league cars its the dumbest collab that removed trading from a game that already has so little, the developers arent adding anything, UR5 was mentioned years ago the company sucks at communication and the dev team is a ghost town
In al honesty, I kept believing in epic that things would get better than before. But after letting such a big part of the community down by removing trading, I lost faith, stopped playing completely. I was waiting so long for something new like UE5, or anything but after the removal I just stopped believing epic saw rocket league as anything else than a cash cow
I hope Leth is actually applying for that job and not waiting for Epic to call him up. It sounds like exactly the role he was asking for. And he has been the biggest hype machine for racing.
there are so many options and little features to improve rocket league. I think its simple, the ONLY long-term investment epic decided to go for was free to play, and it didnt exactly blew up as they expected, so the only option left is: squeze some money back over a long period of time in exchange of the bare minimum work on it that would explain the priorities, (like an entire diferent game) items, updates, etc
bro the -"He can bench press your entire family" made me soo much laugh 😂😂 Coconut is really cool guy and one of the most "grass toucher" rl player I've ever seen
It's also important to note that the Rocket Racing player count you showed in the video is only the amount of people playing casual, for whatever reason Ranked RR has a separate player count (which is generally close to casual number, so about half the players in ranked and the other half in casual/private, so the overall player count is usually double what's shown)
I am sorry for being a pessimist but I have had hope for years. It's going to take a lot for RL to grow and prosper when quite frankly, they have no proof of heading in the right direction. They are actually showing a negative direction. The lack of communication is INSANE when you can see they respond to people's random tweets about random small bugs in Fortnite. All of their social media is about their cosmetic items to sell and make money. Almost EVERY comment on them is "idc bring back trading". The interview section of this video did not show positive hope, it showed desperate hope. That is sad. I am sad. This is my favorite game of all time and deserves better. There are so many things RL could do to make things better (fix smurfing, UE5, creative mode, bringing back trading to show they listen and care, an actual RLCS website, etc). Until something ACTUALLY HAPPENS (NOT JUST A TWEET SAYING HEY GUYS WE ARE DOING STUFF), this game will continue to slowly die. Also, I think it would be good to try and get more interviews from the casual fanbase as well. Different perspectives. Love your work and what you do CBell, happy new year and hopefully things start changing for the better for RL. ❤

4:06 meh... copium indeed. It's just standard blabber talk you find on job posts. Also, in programming / software engineering, a "feature" is anything implemented in a program; it's a "shipping unit" of code. It doesn't mean it's something we would notice once implemented.
I feel bad for all of you that play RL as your main game. Im mainly a FIFA player but I’ve hit C1 and I really only play casually and even IM beginning to lose interest. They even removed my favorite mode, dropshot. And no, randomly having it in casual for a little doesn’t count. Its a shame, I was really happy my friend showed me the game back in the day but we barely play now
Lawler should apply for that job opening. i think he said everything the best when it came to the business and creativity aspect of epic and how rocket league can sustain itself. great video C
When I heard this idea in the video, I was like "why isn't this already a thing!?!?". I play the game more than my club team members, so when we team up it's hard to play ranked which is a bummer. Having a club mmr that doesn't affect your individual mmr would be amazing!
I have no hope in them actually doing something good in 2024, epic just wants money and doesn't care about actually making good updates. All they will do is release more items in shop and collabs with brands so they can charge even more
@@Karvin_RL they're not really improving much, rocket league itself has been basically ignored by epic games for a long time so the devs can focus on rocket racing . UE5 has also never officially been confirmed and was only leaked years ago
Here's my take and I hope this turns into a civil conversation: We need change that makes this game appeal to more people ie. Make it fun and intuitive for new players to learn and play the game, and add more modes or custom maps etc to bring in a larger player base. As new players learn and play the game they eventually hop into ranked. Bringing a larger player base to competitive will bring a consistent bell curve to ranked. Do I think rocket league is dying? No, but it's stagnant.
@@funnycow9240because they’ve only made like 13 items total in fortnite right now. They’ll bring more eventually but they probably don’t want to remake thousands of items when people don’t use 99% of them. They were definitely prioritizing the gameplay and not the items, but now that the game is up and running they can focus more on the items
@@PrinzValium117Yes. As long as epic owns RL and that horrible game FN we will never see trading make its way back into RL. They want their $. At this point I'm surprised they don't make you buy the RocketPass to play certain game modes.. 🤫
I dont get it. I played Unreal Tournament back in the day. They had community driven servers (shout out to Zark and GOD), and all I had to do was open the search server screen. Any maps and textures I needed would download automatically. I don't understand how that wasn't done with RL.
Gave up playing after hitting GC in S10 and have came back couple weeks ago and nothing has changed. Thought we were getting Rocket League Unreal 5 but we got Rocket Racing instead. Just extremely disappointed and there's hardly communication and am not interested in playing a Fortnite minigame. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way and RL is slowly bleeding it's player base. Have fun with Rocket Racing I guess 🤷♂️
I know you want to keep people interested in RL so you can keep doing your thing, but we can all see the reality of RL. Shitty servers with no option for the 2,800 MILES between East and West coasts. Rocket League is still a PS4 game. PS5 released in 2020. They’ve made so little effort to grow the game that people were hyped about them simply posting something. All caps replies saying “COMMUNICATION!!!” like it was mindblowing for them to make a vague statement saying “Uhhh in 2024 we’ll do something.” Content creators are desperate for them to try, but the company blatantly cares less than the players do.
I acctualy sounds like they are just making Rocket Racing add. And the "cool" stuff that is coming is a new shit season pass with an ugly dark map an meaby an hud rework where the boost got 1 mor pixl on the left side of its fuel meter
I am a massive fan of games of my past. Nostalgia really hits home for me. In a way, I have been stuck playing RL among other games for a while just because in some ways, trying new games is fine but I don't stick to them. This seems to be the problem with older games that still have a considerable playerbase, or at least the community thrives while the Devs barely give those games attention. All they do is keep the servers up and that's about it. With these older games, remaking them in a current engine usually seems like the right way to go, whether its to keep the game fresh and trendy, or just to implement things not possible from before. An example for me would be Paladins. Base game, its unbelievably good in my, along with a lot of other people's minds. However, its fairly old, and its Development has changed hands quite a bit so, people coming in not knowing any better ended up with Spaghetti Code (they would write more code on top of bad code in order to fix a problem but then the old code may conflict with newer code or newer code causes problems elsewhere) This for all we know could have happened with Rocket League, among other games. Its an incredibly unique game and the developers made a similar game before RL, and then they had different projects before that. We all would love to be harsh to the team at Psyonix but at a certain point, they were learning as they went as well, and with new knowledge and experience, as well as new tools or resources (new engine, more money, bigger team), they could possibly out-do themselves given the opportunity. Rocket Racing ate up a lot of their time but it was probably another experiment. Sigh. I am rambling
I think there's one thing in Rocket League that you can't necessarily teach, but can teach a concept of which is rotation and field direction. Knowing where to be and when in certain situations that are common. I think including this in the training would help retain new players. Basically, the MMR system keeps inflating, but the training is not. Have a set "scheduled" on when Epic will always touch base with the community on some kind of communication. "I'm doing something, but I can't tell you what it is yet. Don't lose hope!" something even as simple as that. I love the concept of Rocket League too much to give up on it, so I won't be going anywhere until (hopefully it never happens) the game is shut down and disappears.
50 year old average Joe here, who plays the game everyday. I've not noticed a change in Rocket League and it still seems as popular as ever. Couldn't give a shit about trading. I will continue to play it everyday because it's one the most fun, skilled, competitive games out there and I love it! I enjoy Rocket Racing too but I wish it was part of RL rather than Fortnite.
another thing I think would be cool to have added to rocketleague would be something like a tittle for every rank you got like from bronze to champ would be cool like SSL and GC already have but for each rank would be better it would give people more initiative to play and get to higher rankes like the top 100 leadarboard titles and do the same thing for each rank like bronze up to champ it would make the game more rewarding to get to each new rank rather then only titles for GC and SSL
i think the team mmr is a great idea, people make clubs in rocket league but you never see people actually playing with them, i think that if there was a separate mode specifically FOR CLUBS would be great because the mmr would be for the club and not for the individual person and i feel like people would love that trying to become the best club trying to get to the highest rank in their club would be grate, and i people would still play solos because they would want their own mmr and their own rank, i think if they do that it would be great
This game could be taken, to levels, where most households, facilities, offices etc, can compete in rocket league, in a way where neighbors battles neighbors, companies play against other companies.......Just put a poll out, of what age you are and most of you will be surprised how many players, are not 12 years old.....Think about the middle aged man coming home from a long day at work and needs a good hour or two to unwind and compete at something...........This game is small compared to what it COULD be......I have a ton of ideas about this.
I haven't given up, but they don't deserve my money for stale seasons, and zero dev work! Haven't bought a season pass in a year, and don't plan on it till rl2 and better updates
Honestly what they need to do is fix the competitive servers for console because , I genuinely cannot play ranked because of the servers, they are so bad that the casual servers are better than the ranked ones.
Put simply, Rocket League is a truly one of a kind game. If Epic + Psyonix truly put effort into this game, and make a sincere attempt to improve the game and keep it going, it will sustain itself. Even if they miss the mark here or there and have some downer updates, it'll be okay. It's too good a game to just fail because of some annoying updates.
It’s epic that is a dick head, psyonix DEF have employees that wanted to actually make the game better but bc bitchass epic force their employees to work on a game mode for 2 years that not even 100k people are playing.. it’s truly disappointing
i want RL to completely over haul the main menu where the cars set. i want them to make it drivable. i'm thinking something like 2k. if you want to play a game go to the stadium but if you want to Freeplay go to a practice stadium. the garage could have a car park with boost, wheels, toppers, trails and antenna's laid out for the player to see. make it feel like you're actually customizing the car in a garage. private matches and "seasons" could have an old/ rundown type stadium to go to instead of the main or practice ones. i also really like the club idea from lawler, you could have the club system in the main stadium with RLCS "tryouts" (open quals) through the club system for any team gc3 or ssl. and the actual pro teams have a separate system for them. (aka they can be invited by phyonix to skip open/closed quals)
Once again, if the "same team" is working on rocket league then we have no hope. There has been so little innovation in this game since launch that it's ridiculous.
If you want more casual players to boost player count, profit, and content, you need approachable content like creative modes and the club queue to play with new players like Lawler mentioned.
Basically what rocket needs is to Epic add a Creative Mode and add maybe some mods. But i think that if they added that it would be the end of Bakkesmod

What is actually being worked on in RL? rocket racing is just fortnite racing with some rocket league cars its the dumbest collab that removed trading from a game that already has so little, the developers arent adding anything, UR5 was mentioned years ago the company sucks at communication and the dev team is a ghost town
at this point, ill believe it when i see it.
Also I love the atmosohere of rocket league at the moment, it's like we're all together on this but we're not 🤞
Best hair lets gooo 😂
In al honesty, I kept believing in epic that things would get better than before. But after letting such a big part of the community down by removing trading, I lost faith, stopped playing completely. I was waiting so long for something new like UE5, or anything but after the removal I just stopped believing epic saw rocket league as anything else than a cash cow
I’m never gonna give it up.
I’ll never let it down.
I’ll never run around.
And desert it.
I hope Leth is actually applying for that job and not waiting for Epic to call him up. It sounds like exactly the role he was asking for. And he has been the biggest hype machine for racing.
Hey CBELL! Excited to see what you have in store for us in 2024!
there are so many options and little features to improve rocket league. I think its simple, the ONLY long-term investment epic decided to go for was free to play, and it didnt exactly blew up as they expected, so the only option left is: squeze some money back over a long period of time in exchange of the bare minimum work on it
that would explain the priorities, (like an entire diferent game) items, updates, etc
bro the -"He can bench press your entire family" made me soo much laugh 😂😂 Coconut is really cool guy and one of the most "grass toucher" rl player I've ever seen
It's also important to note that the Rocket Racing player count you showed in the video is only the amount of people playing casual, for whatever reason Ranked RR has a separate player count (which is generally close to casual number, so about half the players in ranked and the other half in casual/private, so the overall player count is usually double what's shown)
still a dead mode stop coping
Bro this video is gonna age like a glass of milk.
I am sorry for being a pessimist but I have had hope for years. It's going to take a lot for RL to grow and prosper when quite frankly, they have no proof of heading in the right direction. They are actually showing a negative direction. The lack of communication is INSANE when you can see they respond to people's random tweets about random small bugs in Fortnite. All of their social media is about their cosmetic items to sell and make money. Almost EVERY comment on them is "idc bring back trading". The interview section of this video did not show positive hope, it showed desperate hope. That is sad. I am sad. This is my favorite game of all time and deserves better. There are so many things RL could do to make things better (fix smurfing, UE5, creative mode, bringing back trading to show they listen and care, an actual RLCS website, etc). Until something ACTUALLY HAPPENS (NOT JUST A TWEET SAYING HEY GUYS WE ARE DOING STUFF), this game will continue to slowly die.
Also, I think it would be good to try and get more interviews from the casual fanbase as well. Different perspectives. Love your work and what you do CBell, happy new year and hopefully things start changing for the better for RL. ❤
the yapathon is crazy
@@bewildered9791 The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
4:06 meh... copium indeed. It's just standard blabber talk you find on job posts. Also, in programming / software engineering, a "feature" is anything implemented in a program; it's a "shipping unit" of code. It doesn't mean it's something we would notice once implemented.
I feel bad for all of you that play RL as your main game. Im mainly a FIFA player but I’ve hit C1 and I really only play casually and even IM beginning to lose interest. They even removed my favorite mode, dropshot. And no, randomly having it in casual for a little doesn’t count. Its a shame, I was really happy my friend showed me the game back in the day but we barely play now
Yep. The day I logged in to no Dropshot, the game died.
Game actually dide the moment Creator codes were invented 😑
NOW I CAN COMPETE IN RLCS?? Well... I'm only flipping plat 3.
Whatever.
But I want to see how other young guns play!
Thank you man, this gives a really different perspective mostly due to shown data and community support and engagement
Bro I need to be champs my t8s suck
Lawler should apply for that job opening. i think he said everything the best when it came to the business and creativity aspect of epic and how rocket league can sustain itself. great video C
the air dribble at 17:00 was so close and mandom almost peaked
I gave up on it in 2023
The club thing is such a good idea. Having a team mmr and you could play scrims and it would actually do something
When I heard this idea in the video, I was like "why isn't this already a thing!?!?". I play the game more than my club team members, so when we team up it's hard to play ranked which is a bummer. Having a club mmr that doesn't affect your individual mmr would be amazing!
Don’t think I didn’t see that Nostalgic Destiny Shirt (and where is Emmy?)
frrr
yah where is emmy bruh
I have no hope in them actually doing something good in 2024, epic just wants money and doesn't care about actually making good updates. All they will do is release more items in shop and collabs with brands so they can charge even more
They are improving already and there is a high chance ue5 comes to rl this year
@@Karvin_RL they're not really improving much, rocket league itself has been basically ignored by epic games for a long time so the devs can focus on rocket racing . UE5 has also never officially been confirmed and was only leaked years ago
@@aspakadamon they are improving they are communicating more and bringing quality of life changes
@@Karvin_RL "there is a high chance ue5 comes to rl this year"? "they are improving they are communicating more"?
🤨whaaaat????
@mikeiavelli I mean there is more commitment with the player base
I'm about to give up
and yes... HEATSEEKER isn't ranked yet
this aged like milk only a week later
Send leth that job posting😂
Here's my take and I hope this turns into a civil conversation: We need change that makes this game appeal to more people ie. Make it fun and intuitive for new players to learn and play the game, and add more modes or custom maps etc to bring in a larger player base. As new players learn and play the game they eventually hop into ranked. Bringing a larger player base to competitive will bring a consistent bell curve to ranked. Do I think rocket league is dying? No, but it's stagnant.
Really hope that they bring trading back or move rocket racing to rl
yeahhh. i have thousands of items in rocket league and only 13 total transfered to rocket racing... 9 of which were default items... good job epic!
@@funnycow9240because they’ve only made like 13 items total in fortnite right now. They’ll bring more eventually but they probably don’t want to remake thousands of items when people don’t use 99% of them. They were definitely prioritizing the gameplay and not the items, but now that the game is up and running they can focus more on the items
@@thet8291 If I wanted to race I'd play Gran Turismo.
Traiding is dead. And its dead for ever
@@PrinzValium117Yes. As long as epic owns RL and that horrible game FN we will never see trading make its way back into RL. They want their $. At this point I'm surprised they don't make you buy the RocketPass to play certain game modes.. 🤫
I dont get it. I played Unreal Tournament back in the day. They had community driven servers (shout out to Zark and GOD), and all I had to do was open the search server screen. Any maps and textures I needed would download automatically. I don't understand how that wasn't done with RL.
Gave up playing after hitting GC in S10 and have came back couple weeks ago and nothing has changed. Thought we were getting Rocket League Unreal 5 but we got Rocket Racing instead. Just extremely disappointed and there's hardly communication and am not interested in playing a Fortnite minigame.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way and RL is slowly bleeding it's player base. Have fun with Rocket Racing I guess 🤷♂️
Damn.. I feel that, I got to diamond 3 div 3 last season... this season I'm not allowed to get out of gold 😑
is no one going to talk about the hilarious descriptions about each person he talked with? Coconut was my favorite ❤
I know you want to keep people interested in RL so you can keep doing your thing, but we can all see the reality of RL.
Shitty servers with no option for the 2,800 MILES between East and West coasts.
Rocket League is still a PS4 game. PS5 released in 2020.
They’ve made so little effort to grow the game that people were hyped about them simply posting something. All caps replies saying “COMMUNICATION!!!” like it was mindblowing for them to make a vague statement saying “Uhhh in 2024 we’ll do something.”
Content creators are desperate for them to try, but the company blatantly cares less than the players do.
If they're trying they can communicate that they're trying. The amount of negative signaling we have recorded is absurd.
"can bench press ur entire family" 💀
I gave up on rocket league in 2022
dude i don’t have my ps5 with me bruh i didnt bring it with me
18:57 I want to customize the stadium, spectators cheering and such. Just like in ea fc 24
If they dont fix 2s matchmaking/ranked matchmaking smurfs soon it will not be around much longer. this has to be addressed asap
I should be platinum not gold my teammates are trash
I am the best gold there is. Trust me
Thanks for the invite 🧡
I acctualy sounds like they are just making Rocket Racing add. And the "cool" stuff that is coming is a new shit season pass with an ugly dark map an meaby an hud rework where the boost got 1 mor pixl on the left side of its fuel meter
I'm more of a new player and haven't played ranked yet but if they add custom maps and multiple rewards for rankings up that'd be cool
Why was that advert so well imbedded 😭
I am a massive fan of games of my past. Nostalgia really hits home for me. In a way, I have been stuck playing RL among other games for a while just because in some ways, trying new games is fine but I don't stick to them.
This seems to be the problem with older games that still have a considerable playerbase, or at least the community thrives while the Devs barely give those games attention. All they do is keep the servers up and that's about it.
With these older games, remaking them in a current engine usually seems like the right way to go, whether its to keep the game fresh and trendy, or just to implement things not possible from before.
An example for me would be Paladins. Base game, its unbelievably good in my, along with a lot of other people's minds. However, its fairly old, and its Development has changed hands quite a bit so, people coming in not knowing any better ended up with Spaghetti Code (they would write more code on top of bad code in order to fix a problem but then the old code may conflict with newer code or newer code causes problems elsewhere)
This for all we know could have happened with Rocket League, among other games. Its an incredibly unique game and the developers made a similar game before RL, and then they had different projects before that.
We all would love to be harsh to the team at Psyonix but at a certain point, they were learning as they went as well, and with new knowledge and experience, as well as new tools or resources (new engine, more money, bigger team), they could possibly out-do themselves given the opportunity.
Rocket Racing ate up a lot of their time but it was probably another experiment. Sigh. I am rambling
ayyy im 13 and gc3 maybe i could go pro soon
I def have hope as a viewer for the rlcs scene this season, but as a player, ranked has kinda felt stale and the community is too toxic for me rn.
nice vid keep it up cuz i like the rocket league videos :D
I think there's one thing in Rocket League that you can't necessarily teach, but can teach a concept of which is rotation and field direction. Knowing where to be and when in certain situations that are common. I think including this in the training would help retain new players. Basically, the MMR system keeps inflating, but the training is not. Have a set "scheduled" on when Epic will always touch base with the community on some kind of communication. "I'm doing something, but I can't tell you what it is yet. Don't lose hope!" something even as simple as that. I love the concept of Rocket League too much to give up on it, so I won't be going anywhere until (hopefully it never happens) the game is shut down and disappears.
I can’t give up now
I already gave up Fortnite this year
50 year old average Joe here, who plays the game everyday. I've not noticed a change in Rocket League and it still seems as popular as ever. Couldn't give a shit about trading. I will continue to play it everyday because it's one the most fun, skilled, competitive games out there and I love it! I enjoy Rocket Racing too but I wish it was part of RL rather than Fortnite.
another thing I think would be cool to have added to rocketleague would be something like a tittle for every rank you got like from bronze to champ would be cool like SSL and GC already have but for each rank would be better it would give people more initiative to play and get to higher rankes
like the top 100 leadarboard titles and do the same thing for each rank like bronze up to champ it would make the game more rewarding to get to each new rank rather then only titles for GC and SSL
why does rocket league need eu5 aside from the graphics just curious
i think the team mmr is a great idea, people make clubs in rocket league but you never see people actually playing with them, i think that if there was a separate mode specifically FOR CLUBS would be great because the mmr would be for the club and not for the individual person and i feel like people would love that trying to become the best club trying to get to the highest rank in their club would be grate, and i people would still play solos because they would want their own mmr and their own rank, i think if they do that it would be great
This game could be taken, to levels, where most households, facilities, offices etc, can compete in rocket league, in a way where neighbors battles neighbors, companies play against other companies.......Just put a poll out, of what age you are and most of you will be surprised how many players, are not 12 years old.....Think about the middle aged man coming home from a long day at work and needs a good hour or two to unwind and compete at something...........This game is small compared to what it COULD be......I have a ton of ideas about this.
who’s here after rlcs announcement 😭😭😭😭
I haven't given up, but they don't deserve my money for stale seasons, and zero dev work! Haven't bought a season pass in a year, and don't plan on it till rl2 and better updates
Honestly what they need to do is fix the competitive servers for console because , I genuinely cannot play ranked because of the servers, they are so bad that the casual servers are better than the ranked ones.
what i want to see from Rocket League in 2024 is to not play vs GCs in D3 as a C2
Spot on bro hahaha
for real. That actually made me quit rl last season. I only play solos or stuff like hoops every now and the
Put simply, Rocket League is a truly one of a kind game.
If Epic + Psyonix truly put effort into this game, and make a sincere attempt to improve the game and keep it going, it will sustain itself.
Even if they miss the mark here or there and have some downer updates, it'll be okay.
It's too good a game to just fail because of some annoying updates.
It’s epic that is a dick head, psyonix DEF have employees that wanted to actually make the game better but bc bitchass epic force their employees to work on a game mode for 2 years that not even 100k people are playing.. it’s truly disappointing
i want RL to completely over haul the main menu where the cars set. i want them to make it drivable. i'm thinking something like 2k. if you want to play a game go to the stadium but if you want to Freeplay go to a practice stadium. the garage could have a car park with boost, wheels, toppers, trails and antenna's laid out for the player to see. make it feel like you're actually customizing the car in a garage. private matches and "seasons" could have an old/ rundown type stadium to go to instead of the main or practice ones. i also really like the club idea from lawler, you could have the club system in the main stadium with RLCS "tryouts" (open quals) through the club system for any team gc3 or ssl. and the actual pro teams have a separate system for them. (aka they can be invited by phyonix to skip open/closed quals)
Once again, if the "same team" is working on rocket league then we have no hope. There has been so little innovation in this game since launch that it's ridiculous.
The Updates will be new Cars and Fashion Items woooooow. On a serious note, I really hope they are giving us some new content.
Team fields and rank is awesome and should exist
Rocket League need to add a title for getting champ. Like season 13 champion
If you want more casual players to boost player count, profit, and content, you need approachable content like creative modes and the club queue to play with new players like Lawler mentioned.
Where the heck is Emi?? Am i the only one who misses the series

Basically what rocket needs is to Epic add a Creative Mode and add maybe some mods. But i think that if they added that it would be the end of Bakkesmod
