They just want money at this point.. if it wasn't for them firing like more then half of their employees then Rocket League wouldn't have came to this state
As someone who used to watch RL content 70-80% of most days from like 2018-2020, I’ve definitely gotten burned out on RL content aside from RLCS. RLCS is literally the only thing that gets me to play RL consistently aside from playing with friends, sad they can’t just try something new for once
Your point is the entire problem. All that's left of rocket league is the competitive side. There's no appeal to the casual players with anything left in the game. Epic games has done nothing but try to take your money. First removing keys, then adding the battle pass, then the item shop, then no more trading. This game has been going downhill as soon as Epic took over and it's super unfortunate because everyone in the community thought that them acquiring psyonix was gonna propel the game to new heights
And people just aren’t getting it. They still preorder. They still gush over overpriced dlcs. They still fall for flashy trailers for games that come out halfway completed. Ever since gaming went mostly digital and not physical this has become the standard. Better graphics and poor quality gameplay and overall completion. They cut beta testers and use the paying players instead. And instead of fixing what’s wrong with games they do these little “patches” that half the time break the game entirely. Nothing will change until the people stand up and do something together and hold those accountable. We’re getting fucked over in every way
i would wait about a few months, since they did announce they would start updating the game more. of course im not having high hopes but I dont want to give up completely yet
i would say wait until summer. That's when the game came out, when the game went free to play, seems like the trend for anything big to occur then if anything
They spent the last 3 years working on rocket racing. Something that wasn’t even for the native game, and guess what it now averages less players that skibidi toilet boxfights.
I think that the sad truth is that rocket league isn't making epic games enough money to justify them allocating enough developers to make a real difference in rocket league, so until the game makes more money, there will be few updates.
Yeah, and they are probably hoping to get more money with trading being removed and adding Star Wars decals to the item shop. I mean its not a bad strategy its just coming at a terrible time in Rocket Leagues lifespan
Great video one small thing I'll add is, 3-4 years ago give or take was the COVID shut down, and like everyone in the RUclips and twitch scene has massive boom in views. That's part of the reason videos from a few years ago have those huge huge peak in views
Ngl I was listening away to your good video, you mentioned that you only have 1.3k subs and I popped out quickly to drop a comment and add one more. Keep with it dawg you’re articulate, well edited and provide a solid experience to viewers!
Why is it everybody thinks that the game needs something else rather than new stadiums and cars and a creative mode? Look at traditional sports like soccer, basketball, etc. There are slight rule changes to make the game more fair and new jerseys and shoes every season, yet people go and buy merch just for supporting the game, not because they are forced to. Rocket league is a wonderful game which is all about reaching new skill gaps and refining skill to make it more enjoyable. It's competitive aspect is the only one that does not involve RNG and yet people are still unsatisfied. Embrace the game as it is and be happy they haven't shut it down yet. I mean it is a pity I cannot trade my items with friends anymore, but though that way they eliminated a path for people not to focus on cosmetics and use them similar to how Counter Strike items are used for gambling for example, especially when it comes to opening crates back in the days. Also, exclusivity of items is slowly taken away for the community's sake. Alpha boost does not make anyone better than somebody else, it only pushes the ego. Also, the last couple of season passes were massive in my opinion, you get so many items and colour variations for 10 bucks, which you eventually get back every season. Remember the game is free, and by investing 10 bucks you get unlimited season passes with 250+ new items every 3-4 months. Another important aspect is that I haven't experienced any bugs during my 5 years playing, maintenance was always spot on. Even if there was a glitch, they removed it as fast as possible. How are they going to have resources and funds if the community wants everything for free, consider cost for staff, maintenance, servers, the competitive scene, etc. I will say it again: This game is about grinding to become better and reach new heights and maybe, if the conditions are right, going comp with teams, especially since the age gap is lowered now and people can earn some money for their effort. Everything extra is for those who don't and won't and don't want to embrace the car soccer game and expect something else out of it.
Exactly this. When i learn a new mechanic its like an entirely different game for me, far better than any update they could add. I love car soccer, not buying dlc 👍🏻
They need to add new gamemodes, or little updates like new bots or custom maps would really help. Not everyone is invested into the repeated car soccar game
Man we can't even enjoy video games anymore, makes me want to start a game dev company that makes games the old school way meaning the games are, playable at launch, and the cosmetics are earned through game completion and achievements not grinding or micro transactions, and there'd be no dlc just updates that keep the games fresh.
It's sad to see. I'm generally an optimistic person, but first watching Musty's video and now yours popping up. No disrespect to your smaller channel at all, in fact I'm glad you've gotten so many views - but the fact that this video(!) pops up in my feed is worrying. Keep up the great work tho and thank you for the video, subscribed too! :)
This is that happens when game devs just want your money and not care about what their players say.its just sad bc gaming is a big part of people’s lives and it’s hard to do the things you love
I retired from playing Rocket League not because I gave up for studies, but the system is also messed up. Ranked matches became unfair, some people have high hopes of achieving and surpassing their old ranks, and so on and so forth. Now, it's a mess. I won't play because of that, I'm focusing now more on my future
Epic games is the most soulless gaming company that has ever existed. There are other bad companies, but none that have been as toxic to the gaming community as epic
I can’t explain why but ever since trading was taken, even though none of the gameplay changed and trading wasn’t my thing, the game just felt off. Feels like it isn’t a community anymore and just a large group of people playing the same game against each other until the servers die. I really hope they can have a comeback some day.
They don't listen to ANYONE. The only people they 'listen' to are the snotty little 4 year olds that make them money. They don't give a shit about Fortnite's competitive playerbase and they don't give a shit about rocket league's entire playerbase.@@Joe-lc3sv
Take it from us 30 year olds, epic games stopped caring about their games when they released bulletstorm shortly before gears of war 3. Fortnite and rocket league both prove these. Both games, the communities are what made them. If it werent for community on fortnite or RL, multiple game modes, tournaments and their structures, and upkeep on the service with battlepasses and new cars/usable player content, wouldnt exist. The community made gears. Epic games killed it. The community has made rocket league. And Epic games has been actively trying to kill it.
The 5x boost is in fact new to the game. Y'all are into complaining so much you miss this. You had 1, 1.5, 2, and 10x boost mutators. Now they added 5x.
I've got to be honest, when was the last time the majority of the community gave any alternate gamemode so much as a second glance? Sure, Knockout and Heatseeker were mild successes, but they quickly dropped off within days and never attracted the players who play the game the most. Sure, the idea of having more modes is nice, but the hard fact is that nobody plays them. They just don't. Epic doesn't update the game because the majority do not care for the game to be updated. This game has hauled in 400-450,000 players per day, every day, since F2P was released and that hasn't declined, despite a lack of updates. The players have voted with their time, they just want to play your bogstandard 1s, 2s and 3s. Trading removed? They didn't care, not enough to leave anyway. The only people to "blame" are the players. This development direction was dictated by Psyonix as early as 2017, and Epic is only following the direction set by the players. I'm sure if players left due to your complaints, they would have done so years ago, hell, before Epic even came in. But that didn't happen. This game's success is built off of just being the best car soccer game in the world. It sucks for content creators, sure, but really, how many multiplayer games can you think of actually have enduring content past the 5 year mark, beyond whining about their balance going to shit? There's really not that many, and all of them have a game marketed a lot more to variety. While your proposals would be a nice to have, it's not really a necessity for the game to succeed. It's not like they'd actually attract people. It would be effectively empty content for creators, making videos on stuff nobody plays.
Exactly!!! Rocket League is already near perfection. To me It's like Tetris. Maybe the perfect game ever. Every game is different. But how many players are still playing it after 20 years and it had ALOT of different modes. That didn't help... Because People just want to play Tetris at it was originally. Just like Rocket League
@@alfonzso2 exactly! I came to RL for a simple, well-balanced, solid game, and it's still a simple, well-balanced, solid game. I don't need to be fed a constant stream of bells and whistles on top of that.
Decryptors. Crates. Trading. Snowflakes. Candy corn. My favorite map is still the snowy variations of utopia colosseum. Workshop maps for consoles or a creative mode where its easy to build modded arenas. Leth did a video on some easy gamemodes to introduce that actually look fun. Just add a few more things to rumble. HOW long have we wanted volleyball.
Been playing since 2016, purely freestyling. It’s so sad to see the state of the game right now, it’s the first time in years since I haven’t played at least a couple days a week.
what is the sudden need for something new? it would be like football fans complaining there aren’t any new game modes. rocket league is what it is. i understand rlcs players not liking the changes, but the game itself doesn’t need anything new.
The game I used to love and play hours every day, I stopped playing a couple months ago... It wasn't even a decision, It wasn't a "I quit now". When I turned my PC on in the limited time I had, I just felt like playing other games, something more fun...
I haven't played rocket league for at least a year now but I feel like trading and pros/content creators were what kept the game alive. kill one of them things and the other slowly dies off. free to play was a short success before the storm. they realised low player numbers and capitalised on those who were still playing. even ea wouldn't do something like that and we all know what's happened to fifa/fc24.Its clear none of this was psyonix fault so all we can do is praise them for the game they made. memories I made with my friends will never be forgotten. RIP rocket league.
i hit gc and my goal. i thought id quit once I reached that but had been hungry for gc3 and SSL one day. I was wondering when i would quit. the answer is slowly losing interest over 6 months - a year. I like playing with friends still, so tahts the only time im on, ONCE IN AWHILE, but its so monotone, now. And i wont buy anything more in the shop because i dont care what the car looks like, now.
I have always said that rocket league is going to fall off because just by how the game is. (I just didn’t see this happening so soon)The game is to niche and specific making it hard to do something new that will last.
Right. Or things like interesting stories, or creative ways to approach the game. Like, I used to watch Sunless a lot before he called out quits, and it was because he was doing interesting things with the game. Making parodies of RLCS broadcasts, trying out various game challenges, finding and interacting with interesting players - it was all interesting stuff that had nothing to do with whatever content was being constantly shoehorned into the game. Like, I honestly couldn't tell you what was in the Rocket Pass even two seasons ago, but crazy stuff like the "Bismillah flick" and the "Spinach flip" are permanently etched into my head thanks to Sunless.
Fortnite was one of the worse things to happen to the video game industry. It wrecked everything on it's way. I'm really concerned about the state of video games in general.
not only did they remove trading they also took away everything i worked for from 2016 to 2020ish, my prospect and challenger season rewards and everything else and they claim it was never on my account in the first place.
Haven't played Rocket League this year. Use to play daily, then it was weekly, then monthly. Now there's no reason to play. I take every free game from Epic, but don't have a single one installed and I will continue to curse their name whenever brought up.
How I found Rocket League was when Jacksepticeye played it WAY back in the day, like before Umble was released. Then I finally got the money to get it in Jan of 2018. Since then, I've met so many great people, got to help Rocket Sledge with his video, met the person I would room with in college, and now have 2.8k hours in. But since Epic's buying of Psyonix, the cosmetics are meh, some of the licensing deals are cool and some are amazing, but thats basically all they have provided for the RL community. They have taken more away from us than given (Not including the amount of cosmetics), and its only killing the game. Idk why Epic saw the Metaverse fail so badly, and want to recreate it with Fortnite, cause its only going to kill themselves in the process, like it did for Meta.
I feel like rocket league is a hard game to keep interesting. If you look at other games like fortnite, you can always change the lootpool, map or add a new mechanic, but not for rl. In rockeet league you cant have for example different rarities of boost, or maps with different layout.
Okay, hear me out... what if the RL community did what the reddit community did.. but better? If we all collectively banned together for a period of time and stopped playing.. wouldn't that force epic games hand?
I want to say something, don't take it the wrong way. I'm 27. Played RL from age 21-24. Quit because it is stale and never went back (I was GC). These games with younger player bases (RL has a notoriously young playerbase), are treated like this. Kids will mindlessly play the same game (and also buy cosmetics). More mature audiences will move on unless there is a reason to stay. And will not buy enough cosmetics.
It also looks like that 90% of the real golds plats diamonds are in fortnite. And im stuck in plat diamond because there only smurfs left playing the game because they are already good. I really sometimes dont get fun out of rl anymore and its getting more frustration
This is 1000% a stretch, and most definitely a thing that will never happen, but I just sat here for a solid 20 minutes thinking about this so I thought I'd share (And I'm gonna use a few [weirdly chosen] games to explain this a little better) TL;DR: Rocket League UGC update that lets people create/build cosmetics/maps in-game or imported, that's basically it. I got this idea when you mentioned steam workshop functionality for Rocket League. I built on that idea since Rocket League doesn't "exist" on steam anymore so: Let people create their own decals/cosmetics/etc etc built into Rocket League and published into their in-game shop (Sort of like how Roblox does it; I have no other examples). Let people build their own maps/gamemodes like Fortnite Creative/UGC; take those private match modifiers and add way more settings + add more flexibility to currently existing modifiers (also with some sort of built-in gamemode/map browser), and just let people publish their creations into a built-in browser. Maybe Psyonix/Epic could then set it up so you could create instances from those gamemodes/maps (like Fortnite), OR similar to what Valve did with TF2 and let people vote on maps that could be officially added to the official pool of maps based on popularity.
Everyone is talking about new content but like what else do u really want in rl that doesn't fundamentally change the game. Like for an example, cs basically has been the same game for ages and everyone was pretty happy with it ( ofc cs2 has spiced things up but that's a whole other can of worms). I'm not saying that rl should just be like this forever but the game wasn't designed in the first place to be a game to last a nearly a decade. To be fair I think its just the game lifecycle like we see in league of legends,cs and dota. These games had their peaks but eventually there's just so much you can do to retain interest. Only the most faithful will still play those games and the casuals will slowly fade out hence why ur average lobby in cs has people with 2k+ hours. Rocket League is probably following the same trajectory ( I think it already has) so I think it's unfair to just blame epic for people simply just losing interest in the game. Like if Epic just fundamentally changed the game tmr that would kill the game even faster. I think the best thing they could do is just make existing things more smooth (S E R V E R S). Now sure u can make the argument that if epic put more effort in rl than it would have never reached this point/joined the same trajectory as these other flagships but if you look at riot with league, they have constantly changed the game giving endless content for years now and they have the same fate. It's just the natural lifespan of a game that's all. TLDR: Games gain and lose popularity over time independent of the developers
Fortnite has gotten more rocket league content than RL. Many of RL's devs and casters were laid off. There have only been cash grab cosmetic updates and UI changes since epic took over. Yes casual players will always leave. Epic accelerated this to terminal velocity such that even those dedicated players are leaving. Nothing about how epic treated this game and it's resulting popularity was natural to the lifecycle of an average game that has a dev team pushing "updates" every in game season
As for the content creation; it's not an original idea but the one I've been starved for is League of Rockets Twelve Titans. Someone needs to bring a modern reimagining of that. High production best of 1 show matches with the current best players in the world. You could even make it a series with multiple qualifiers where the winner gets a spot in the new Twelve Titans or whatever name it under. Maybe even keep the Twelve Titans format with the winners of the first 4 qualifiers earning the gatekeeper status and the remaining 8 thrown in the pit. Just a thought.
Feels like the only way rocket league content creators can catch the attention of anyone would be to list everything wrong with the game and company but epic games makes it pretty obvious they have pretty much just gave up at this point.
my guess is they upgrade the game to rl2 with ue5. sounds weird but at this state the best thing to get the game a bigger playerbase is marketing as a new game instead a big update. thats what I feel like.
I have 1 HUGE problem with this video and it comes from 6:40 where you said and I quote "Give us something, I'll take anything" This is a BAD STATEMENT to give because it's this statement that gives us the Mandalorian mayhem that's going on or gives us recycled stuff that can be repeated in 5 seconds. instead we should be asking for something entirely new like how Knockout was. maybe if they added some stuff to rumble or something but we shouldn't just expect to be ok with just ANYTHING. unless you really want to see "standard rocketleague but 1 thing is slightly different" being released.
As long as people buy stuff from the shop, nothing is going to change. keep playing stop buying, this applies to basically any game. Buying less won't help because it all adds uo up anyways. Unfortunately, no content creators have the balls to enforce that.
People who work there need to earn their money also. Rocket League is free dude. Who's gonna pay those People? How can they Bring up new things if they don't get paid for it. Money needs to come from somewhere. And ofcours it's is, we play it
this type of shit is why i stopped playing. i already started losing interest in playing the game, and trading was basically the only thing keeping me coming back. no new content, only updates were for shit u had to pay for. then trading was taken from us. haven't touched rl since then, and from what it's looking like i don't think that'll change. ngl i saw it coming the moment epic bought out psyonix, i just didn't know how soon. i was sincerely hoping they'd prove me wrong and turn out to be an amazing thing for the game and its community, but it turned out to be the exact opposite. what did they do for the game so far? take the assets and put em into a shitty fortnite mini-game that has the longevity of a piece of bread left sitting on ur counter, that's what. yes, i'm salty about trading being gone. no, it's not for the reasons u think it's for. like they've legit done nothing for rl except add more shit to buy. it's all just a tax write-off for them. at the end of the day, that's why trading is gone. they make no money from its existence, so they saw it as direct competition. i still would've been salty about it, but less so if there were things added that meant something other than fucking $$$$$$$$.
I even stopped playing comp in this game i just play some Casual 3vs3 with music at some nights bc its chill. I‘m doing that 2 years know. I only play rank for the rewards getting my champ stuff and then not even using it.. its frustrating i hope epic will do something but i doubt it. :/
Btw im not trying to diss you or anything but its wild how a vid talking ab the game dieing is most popular when you prob spent 10x more time on a vid only to get like 1k views or smt, hope rl gets a update u got potential keep it up dude
Okay bro. I think it is still a good start to make the updates better. The smurfs are getting nerfed and they try to create new modes without losing time on doing a big update. It will take some time, but the communication between epic games and the community is coming back. Maybe we can actually get them to release rl on ue5, because they did it for rocket racing as well, which should have rl physics. We need to push the pr further tho. We need to show them, that dlcs are not something to mention as the biggest update of the month
They could’ve made an insane Mandalorian Spaceship as the arena and make it look unreal! But of course, a multi-million dollar company doesn’t have the resources to make it happen, right…?
what we call the whole gaming industry is not all of actually, we are just used to the big title for years now per example with RL or CODs ( older ones). The thing is there are 2 simple ways on how it is ending for these: The direction -efforts put - their games or they just get killed and sent to oblivion by other games. They: think, talk, and see only numbers (Of players) so if we want to influence gaming direction u know what to do lads
I think its safe to say, everyone who's been playing for at least a year or two two feels this way. I started back in 2016 and always wanted more from the game. More game modes and other ways to play. Why cant they just hire lethamyr to make new games and maps? He does it all the time and the stuff he comes up with looks hella fun but it's too difficult to figure out how to play on his custom maps. Epic could do better but they dont which is why i will never give them money for anything they produce.
I think the biggest fear of Epic purchasing Psyonix and Rocket League was that it would turn into Fortnite. Little did we know how literal Epic would be with the implementation of that.
I hope that rocket league is going through a ch 2 fortnite part in its lifetime, I think we can remember when fortnite was dying and I think that rocket league is going through the same thing
The fact that epic games haven’t implemented air roll custom maps to consoles is a crime. I can’t even get better cause I don’t have a pc to even really learn air roll the correct way. And no I hate that stupid pillar map and trying to air in a circle in the middle of the field is stupid. I wish they would have made air roll easier so people can get better each season.
I would play the game for a month even if the only thing they add was black and white colors. But we cant even have 2 more colors its like Psyonix forgot how to be a game developer
I play Fortnite a lot but rocket league was the first ever game that I actually enjoyed and got me into gaming and honestly, this is making sad to see with what epic are doing to the game man, all they care abt is money...
It’s not your content, it is most definitely all of the points you give. Epic’s offerings only being monetarily guided is ultimately at fault. I have so many duplicate items I should be able to trade up, but cannot. Too many good items and not enough ways to acquire any of them. The game wants to rewards only those who buy the pass. I get the revenue factor, but it’s one of the reasons the game is less appealing to the casual. We want to come back, we need something to look forward to.
also consider how long it takes to complete the full painted rocket pass, with FN i can just switch on an XP map and earn it for free (which is not ideal and somewhat beats the purpose of the pass but its a better option imo, i can spend time on other things) but with the rocket pass i have to drop in daily to even have a chance of gaining every paint.
Is there a reason they won't just hand the "keys" over to Lethymer to fix this game? It's literally that simple. We could probably crowd source his salary if Epic is worried about paying him. I'd chip in for one.
Give us rocket league gachapons i'd buy those by the kilogram but yeah the state of the game and content for it is about the worst i've ever seen in any game, trading was undeniably a large pillar supporting that content because you could get the new exciting items and because RNG is its own format for excitement. with that gone and nothing else for it, its just.. mechanics and challenges.
I was a semi pro at rocket league I even travelled for some lan esports competitions I use to play around 10 hours a day but sens year I haven’t touched
Just feels stale send they reworked the hit box to only 3 it’s not the veriaty is really important when you are playing hours every day and also the challenge also a lot of good players left so I found my self playing on public lobbies and if you ever played pro you know you have to play your competition to get better and also to play with teammates to perfect your team work and other reasons
Look, you either grind going pro or hate yourself for stagnation/ freestyle. The game hasn't had new official content in literally like 7 years. I quit hoping, and it's not worth putting my hands at risk to keep playing. So my advice: Become a personality people care about and stream what you love, it'll make you happier which in turn creates an atmosphere for ppl to forget the world for 5-10 minutes or however long the vid is. sources: Asmongold. The biggest example. my predictions: Rocket League esports will see less and less viewership, with less and less prizepools as the game slowly dies. 10k avrg playerbase by 2026 or 2025. the bottom line talks and if everyone stopped buying stuff and signed a petition to get ue5 it'll happen in 2 years or less I guarantee it.
just like the game carx it was slowly dying but they decided to add the workshop thing a slowly people started coming back, maybe if rocket league does that then....
I found out rocket league by one rocket league video by striped. I am one of the new people found the game just recently (maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago) sad that a game that i just found out was dying already. Sad that the developers are so greedy.
Even Microsoft would do better. Minecraft has an update every June, with servers keeping it alive in the gap. You don’t even have to buy minecoins, because they let you get skins from the internet too. Microsoft isn’t money-hungry like epic games, and in my opinion they do a great job running Minecraft. I wish epic games actually cared about the community instead of just wanting money, money, money. You can’t get the gold rush or alphas without special mods. sad to see the game go.
You know what I did when Rocket League started going down hill? I quit and found something more entertaining to do with my time. Its not that hard. If they dont care about us, then why should we care to spend time in their game.
As if real life wasn't depressing enough, the virtual world is also becoming more and more depressing as well.

Also sad that RLCS is a shadow of it's former self.
tsame. If it weren't for my friends, I wouldn't even have more than 50 hours in this game, but with them, I have 900. 🥸
Your point is the entire problem. All that's left of rocket league is the competitive side. There's no appeal to the casual players with anything left in the game. Epic games has done nothing but try to take your money. First removing keys, then adding the battle pass, then the item shop, then no more trading. This game has been going downhill as soon as Epic took over and it's super unfortunate because everyone in the community thought that them acquiring psyonix was gonna propel the game to new heights
Video games going from passion projects to now literally cooperate money machines
And people just aren’t getting it. They still preorder. They still gush over overpriced dlcs. They still fall for flashy trailers for games that come out halfway completed. Ever since gaming went mostly digital and not physical this has become the standard. Better graphics and poor quality gameplay and overall completion. They cut beta testers and use the paying players instead. And instead of fixing what’s wrong with games they do these little “patches” that half the time break the game entirely. Nothing will change until the people stand up and do something together and hold those accountable. We’re getting fucked over in every way

Ngl I was listening away to your good video, you mentioned that you only have 1.3k subs and I popped out quickly to drop a comment and add one more. Keep with it dawg you’re articulate, well edited and provide a solid experience to viewers!
To me Epics only decent contribution to gaming was Unreal Tournament.
And gears of war.
@@AreJay5721 yeah I forget gears, that was quality. There are probably others but now epic to me is just a marketing platform.
Why is it everybody thinks that the game needs something else rather than new stadiums and cars and a creative mode? Look at traditional sports like soccer, basketball, etc. There are slight rule changes to make the game more fair and new jerseys and shoes every season, yet people go and buy merch just for supporting the game, not because they are forced to. Rocket league is a wonderful game which is all about reaching new skill gaps and refining skill to make it more enjoyable. It's competitive aspect is the only one that does not involve RNG and yet people are still unsatisfied.
Embrace the game as it is and be happy they haven't shut it down yet. I mean it is a pity I cannot trade my items with friends anymore, but though that way they eliminated a path for people not to focus on cosmetics and use them similar to how Counter Strike items are used for gambling for example, especially when it comes to opening crates back in the days. Also, exclusivity of items is slowly taken away for the community's sake. Alpha boost does not make anyone better than somebody else, it only pushes the ego. Also, the last couple of season passes were massive in my opinion, you get so many items and colour variations for 10 bucks, which you eventually get back every season. Remember the game is free, and by investing 10 bucks you get unlimited season passes with 250+ new items every 3-4 months.
Another important aspect is that I haven't experienced any bugs during my 5 years playing, maintenance was always spot on. Even if there was a glitch, they removed it as fast as possible. How are they going to have resources and funds if the community wants everything for free, consider cost for staff, maintenance, servers, the competitive scene, etc.
I will say it again: This game is about grinding to become better and reach new heights and maybe, if the conditions are right, going comp with teams, especially since the age gap is lowered now and people can earn some money for their effort. Everything extra is for those who don't and won't and don't want to embrace the car soccer game and expect something else out of it.
dam bro youu wrote an essay but its rlly true
Exactly this. When i learn a new mechanic its like an entirely different game for me, far better than any update they could add. I love car soccer, not buying dlc 👍🏻
@@Pacho215 fr tho
They need to add new gamemodes, or little updates like new bots or custom maps would really help. Not everyone is invested into the repeated car soccar game
@@anonymoususer4682 yea that would be cool
honestly, I was ready for this type shit since epic bought it in 2020, cool RL lasted more than I thought so we should be hapoy bout it
It was clear since the day they decided to drop support for mac and linux.
Man we can't even enjoy video games anymore, makes me want to start a game dev company that makes games the old school way meaning the games are, playable at launch, and the cosmetics are earned through game completion and achievements not grinding or micro transactions, and there'd be no dlc just updates that keep the games fresh.
It's sad to see. I'm generally an optimistic person, but first watching Musty's video and now yours popping up. No disrespect to your smaller channel at all, in fact I'm glad you've gotten so many views - but the fact that this video(!) pops up in my feed is worrying. Keep up the great work tho and thank you for the video, subscribed too! :)
This is that happens when game devs just want your money and not care about what their players say.its just sad bc gaming is a big part of people’s lives and it’s hard to do the things you love
I retired from playing Rocket League not because I gave up for studies, but the system is also messed up. Ranked matches became unfair, some people have high hopes of achieving and surpassing their old ranks, and so on and so forth. Now, it's a mess. I won't play because of that, I'm focusing now more on my future
3-4 years ago was peak COVID-19. You Tube went crazy then.
Bro this game helped me lose my depression and gained it back with how easily the owners were able to leave the game just like my dad
I think it might be related to Epic's bad situation(monetary) maybe they are trying to recover. Not sure tho
Epic games is the most soulless gaming company that has ever existed. There are other bad companies, but none that have been as toxic to the gaming community as epic
To be fair, a lot of creators have been pushing out content with small differences, how many every rank videos can we take?
I can’t explain why but ever since trading was taken, even though none of the gameplay changed and trading wasn’t my thing, the game just felt off. Feels like it isn’t a community anymore and just a large group of people playing the same game against each other until the servers die. I really hope they can have a comeback some day.
This is unfortunately and honestly the best way to put it into words that I've heard.
What would need to change? Can you give some examples?
Does anyone remember when Epic Games was praised for being such a good company that listens to the players?
i remember that... the good ol' days
It still is. But people don't play RL enough for them to care much about the game lol
Geara of War?
They don't listen to ANYONE. The only people they 'listen' to are the snotty little 4 year olds that make them money. They don't give a shit about Fortnite's competitive playerbase and they don't give a shit about rocket league's entire playerbase.@@Joe-lc3sv
Take it from us 30 year olds, epic games stopped caring about their games when they released bulletstorm shortly before gears of war 3. Fortnite and rocket league both prove these. Both games, the communities are what made them. If it werent for community on fortnite or RL, multiple game modes, tournaments and their structures, and upkeep on the service with battlepasses and new cars/usable player content, wouldnt exist. The community made gears. Epic games killed it. The community has made rocket league. And Epic games has been actively trying to kill it.
The 5x boost is in fact new to the game. Y'all are into complaining so much you miss this. You had 1, 1.5, 2, and 10x boost mutators. Now they added 5x.
I've got to be honest, when was the last time the majority of the community gave any alternate gamemode so much as a second glance? Sure, Knockout and Heatseeker were mild successes, but they quickly dropped off within days and never attracted the players who play the game the most.
Sure, the idea of having more modes is nice, but the hard fact is that nobody plays them. They just don't. Epic doesn't update the game because the majority do not care for the game to be updated. This game has hauled in 400-450,000 players per day, every day, since F2P was released and that hasn't declined, despite a lack of updates. The players have voted with their time, they just want to play your bogstandard 1s, 2s and 3s. Trading removed? They didn't care, not enough to leave anyway. The only people to "blame" are the players. This development direction was dictated by Psyonix as early as 2017, and Epic is only following the direction set by the players. I'm sure if players left due to your complaints, they would have done so years ago, hell, before Epic even came in. But that didn't happen.
This game's success is built off of just being the best car soccer game in the world. It sucks for content creators, sure, but really, how many multiplayer games can you think of actually have enduring content past the 5 year mark, beyond whining about their balance going to shit? There's really not that many, and all of them have a game marketed a lot more to variety. While your proposals would be a nice to have, it's not really a necessity for the game to succeed. It's not like they'd actually attract people. It would be effectively empty content for creators, making videos on stuff nobody plays.
Exactly!!!
Rocket League is already near perfection. To me
It's like Tetris. Maybe the perfect game ever. Every game is different. But how many players are still playing it after 20 years and it had ALOT of different modes. That didn't help... Because People just want to play Tetris at it was originally.
Just like Rocket League
@@alfonzso2 exactly! I came to RL for a simple, well-balanced, solid game, and it's still a simple, well-balanced, solid game. I don't need to be fed a constant stream of bells and whistles on top of that.
Decryptors. Crates. Trading. Snowflakes. Candy corn. My favorite map is still the snowy variations of utopia colosseum. Workshop maps for consoles or a creative mode where its easy to build modded arenas. Leth did a video on some easy gamemodes to introduce that actually look fun. Just add a few more things to rumble. HOW long have we wanted volleyball.
thing is they did add volleyball... to Sideswipe. but who gives much of a shit about Sideswipe?
Been playing since 2016, purely freestyling. It’s so sad to see the state of the game right now, it’s the first time in years since I haven’t played at least a couple days a week.
what is the sudden need for something new? it would be like football fans complaining there aren’t any new game modes. rocket league is what it is. i understand rlcs players not liking the changes, but the game itself doesn’t need anything new.
I miss pysonix owning rocket league😭
I was playing since 2016 I never even payed attention to any updates. The only really notable update was tournaments.
The game I used to love and play hours every day, I stopped playing a couple months ago... It wasn't even a decision, It wasn't a "I quit now". When I turned my PC on in the limited time I had, I just felt like playing other games, something more fun...
Same
I haven't played rocket league for at least a year now but I feel like trading and pros/content creators were what kept the game alive. kill one of them things and the other slowly dies off. free to play was a short success before the storm. they realised low player numbers and capitalised on those who were still playing. even ea wouldn't do something like that and we all know what's happened to fifa/fc24.Its clear none of this was psyonix fault so all we can do is praise them for the game they made. memories I made with my friends will never be forgotten. RIP rocket league.
And with that. Epic Games joins the ranks of hated game companies alongside EA
i hit gc and my goal. i thought id quit once I reached that but had been hungry for gc3 and SSL one day.
I was wondering when i would quit. the answer is slowly losing interest over 6 months - a year.
I like playing with friends still, so tahts the only time im on, ONCE IN AWHILE, but its so monotone, now.
And i wont buy anything more in the shop because i dont care what the car looks like, now.
I have always said that rocket league is going to fall off because just by how the game is. (I just didn’t see this happening so soon)The game is to niche and specific making it hard to do something new that will last.
Back when epic games bought rocket league there was that trend of removing ceiling shots or jump resets
Didnt expect it to come true
I don’t watch for the content, I watch for good matches
Right. Or things like interesting stories, or creative ways to approach the game. Like, I used to watch Sunless a lot before he called out quits, and it was because he was doing interesting things with the game. Making parodies of RLCS broadcasts, trying out various game challenges, finding and interacting with interesting players - it was all interesting stuff that had nothing to do with whatever content was being constantly shoehorned into the game.
Like, I honestly couldn't tell you what was in the Rocket Pass even two seasons ago, but crazy stuff like the "Bismillah flick" and the "Spinach flip" are permanently etched into my head thanks to Sunless.
Fortnite was one of the worse things to happen to the video game industry. It wrecked everything on it's way. I'm really concerned about the state of video games in general.
bro, at this point the only thing that keeps me going back is gridiron. Hella satisfying to make that ball spin across the map
not only did they remove trading they also took away everything i worked for from 2016 to 2020ish, my prospect and challenger season rewards and everything else and they claim it was never on my account in the first place.
I don’t even know how this got recommended to me, I quit playing RL 4 years ago. I don’t see myself coming back to it either.
Haven't played Rocket League this year. Use to play daily, then it was weekly, then monthly. Now there's no reason to play. I take every free game from Epic, but don't have a single one installed and I will continue to curse their name whenever brought up.
How I found Rocket League was when Jacksepticeye played it WAY back in the day, like before Umble was released.
Then I finally got the money to get it in Jan of 2018.
Since then, I've met so many great people, got to help Rocket Sledge with his video, met the person I would room with in college, and now have 2.8k hours in.
But since Epic's buying of Psyonix, the cosmetics are meh, some of the licensing deals are cool and some are amazing, but thats basically all they have provided for the RL community.
They have taken more away from us than given (Not including the amount of cosmetics), and its only killing the game.
Idk why Epic saw the Metaverse fail so badly, and want to recreate it with Fortnite, cause its only going to kill themselves in the process, like it did for Meta.
But what can they add to car soccer? What do we really want?
I feel like rocket league is a hard game to keep interesting. If you look at other games like fortnite, you can always change the lootpool, map or add a new mechanic, but not for rl. In rockeet league you cant have for example different rarities of boost, or maps with different layout.
New gamemodes for ranked isn’t to much to ask for like heatseeker
Chess has also not had a proper update in many years. Dont mean its getting stale.
Bro really compared chess to rl 😂😂
@@anonymoususer4682it’s still a good point
it really is not, rocket league is so much more complicated then chess@@benmarley3086
@@anonymoususer4682Still a wonderful point. Try hitting it instead of missing it maybe??
@@benmarley3086 how come? Chess is not purely for entertainment, people play the game to test themselves
Okay, hear me out... what if the RL community did what the reddit community did.. but better? If we all collectively banned together for a period of time and stopped playing.. wouldn't that force epic games hand?
me when I see that he gained 1k subs from this vid… also me gaining 6,000 subs from 1 short 💀
That is actually wild you got 7k
I want to say something, don't take it the wrong way. I'm 27. Played RL from age 21-24. Quit because it is stale and never went back (I was GC).
These games with younger player bases (RL has a notoriously young playerbase), are treated like this. Kids will mindlessly play the same game (and also buy cosmetics).
More mature audiences will move on unless there is a reason to stay. And will not buy enough cosmetics.
Epic needs to get rid of private custom matches to keep “new” game modes limited
It also looks like that 90% of the real golds plats diamonds are in fortnite.
And im stuck in plat diamond because there only smurfs left playing the game because they are already good.
I really sometimes dont get fun out of rl anymore and its getting more frustration
This is 1000% a stretch, and most definitely a thing that will never happen, but I just sat here for a solid 20 minutes thinking about this so I thought I'd share (And I'm gonna use a few [weirdly chosen] games to explain this a little better)
TL;DR: Rocket League UGC update that lets people create/build cosmetics/maps in-game or imported, that's basically it.
I got this idea when you mentioned steam workshop functionality for Rocket League. I built on that idea since Rocket League doesn't "exist" on steam anymore so: Let people create their own decals/cosmetics/etc etc built into Rocket League and published into their in-game shop (Sort of like how Roblox does it; I have no other examples). Let people build their own maps/gamemodes like Fortnite Creative/UGC; take those private match modifiers and add way more settings + add more flexibility to currently existing modifiers (also with some sort of built-in gamemode/map browser), and just let people publish their creations into a built-in browser.
Maybe Psyonix/Epic could then set it up so you could create instances from those gamemodes/maps (like Fortnite), OR similar to what Valve did with TF2 and let people vote on maps that could be officially added to the official pool of maps based on popularity.
Everyone is talking about new content but like what else do u really want in rl that doesn't fundamentally change the game. Like for an example, cs basically has been the same game for ages and everyone was pretty happy with it ( ofc cs2 has spiced things up but that's a whole other can of worms). I'm not saying that rl should just be like this forever but the game wasn't designed in the first place to be a game to last a nearly a decade. To be fair I think its just the game lifecycle like we see in league of legends,cs and dota. These games had their peaks but eventually there's just so much you can do to retain interest. Only the most faithful will still play those games and the casuals will slowly fade out hence why ur average lobby in cs has people with 2k+ hours. Rocket League is probably following the same trajectory ( I think it already has) so I think it's unfair to just blame epic for people simply just losing interest in the game. Like if Epic just fundamentally changed the game tmr that would kill the game even faster. I think the best thing they could do is just make existing things more smooth (S E R V E R S). Now sure u can make the argument that if epic put more effort in rl than it would have never reached this point/joined the same trajectory as these other flagships but if you look at riot with league, they have constantly changed the game giving endless content for years now and they have the same fate. It's just the natural lifespan of a game that's all.
TLDR: Games gain and lose popularity over time independent of the developers
yea i agree
Fortnite has gotten more rocket league content than RL. Many of RL's devs and casters were laid off. There have only been cash grab cosmetic updates and UI changes since epic took over.
Yes casual players will always leave. Epic accelerated this to terminal velocity such that even those dedicated players are leaving.
Nothing about how epic treated this game and it's resulting popularity was natural to the lifecycle of an average game that has a dev team pushing "updates" every in game season
@@Dish.Washerwhat do you actually want them to do??
You're absolutely correct. I don't get the People who are nagging about epic. The game itself is great.
Great video! Epic needs to hear it! From the whole community wether they listen or not!
As for the content creation; it's not an original idea but the one I've been starved for is League of Rockets Twelve Titans. Someone needs to bring a modern reimagining of that. High production best of 1 show matches with the current best players in the world. You could even make it a series with multiple qualifiers where the winner gets a spot in the new Twelve Titans or whatever name it under. Maybe even keep the Twelve Titans format with the winners of the first 4 qualifiers earning the gatekeeper status and the remaining 8 thrown in the pit. Just a thought.
I don't think you quite understand. Epic doesn't know how to monetize steam workshop maps.. 💀
If epic can monetize steam workshop maps the update will come out tomorrow lol
Feels like the only way rocket league content creators can catch the attention of anyone would be to list everything wrong with the game and company but epic games makes it pretty obvious they have pretty much just gave up at this point.
my guess is they upgrade the game to rl2 with ue5. sounds weird but at this state the best thing to get the game a bigger playerbase is marketing as a new game instead a big update. thats what I feel like.
I have 1 HUGE problem with this video and it comes from 6:40 where you said and I quote "Give us something, I'll take anything"
This is a BAD STATEMENT to give because it's this statement that gives us the Mandalorian mayhem that's going on or gives us recycled stuff that can be repeated in 5 seconds. instead we should be asking for something entirely new like how Knockout was. maybe if they added some stuff to rumble or something but we shouldn't just expect to be ok with just ANYTHING. unless you really want to see "standard rocketleague but 1 thing is slightly different" being released.
True that was a heat of the moment comment from me, so if I could take back anything it would be that
how do you do worksop maps like this
It’s only available for PC thru steam
The removal of Trading should be a crime… 😢
As long as people buy stuff from the shop, nothing is going to change. keep playing stop buying, this applies to basically any game. Buying less won't help because it all adds uo up anyways. Unfortunately, no content creators have the balls to enforce that.
People who work there need to earn their money also. Rocket League is free dude. Who's gonna pay those People?
How can they Bring up new things if they don't get paid for it. Money needs to come from somewhere. And ofcours it's is, we play it
this type of shit is why i stopped playing. i already started losing interest in playing the game, and trading was basically the only thing keeping me coming back. no new content, only updates were for shit u had to pay for. then trading was taken from us. haven't touched rl since then, and from what it's looking like i don't think that'll change.
ngl i saw it coming the moment epic bought out psyonix, i just didn't know how soon. i was sincerely hoping they'd prove me wrong and turn out to be an amazing thing for the game and its community, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.
what did they do for the game so far? take the assets and put em into a shitty fortnite mini-game that has the longevity of a piece of bread left sitting on ur counter, that's what. yes, i'm salty about trading being gone. no, it's not for the reasons u think it's for. like they've legit done nothing for rl except add more shit to buy. it's all just a tax write-off for them. at the end of the day, that's why trading is gone. they make no money from its existence, so they saw it as direct competition. i still would've been salty about it, but less so if there were things added that meant something other than fucking $$$$$$$$.
epic needs to give rocket league to a company who will take chances with the game
I even stopped playing comp in this game i just play some Casual 3vs3 with music at some nights bc its chill. I‘m doing that 2 years know. I only play rank for the rewards getting my champ stuff and then not even using it.. its frustrating i hope epic will do something but i doubt it. :/
Btw im not trying to diss you or anything but its wild how a vid talking ab the game dieing is most popular when you prob spent 10x more time on a vid only to get like 1k views or smt, hope rl gets a update u got potential keep it up dude
it doesnt even matter anything u buy in the shop is untradable anyway?
Okay bro. I think it is still a good start to make the updates better. The smurfs are getting nerfed and they try to create new modes without losing time on doing a big update. It will take some time, but the communication between epic games and the community is coming back. Maybe we can actually get them to release rl on ue5, because they did it for rocket racing as well, which should have rl physics. We need to push the pr further tho. We need to show them, that dlcs are not something to mention as the biggest update of the month
ue5 would make everyone happy lol
They could’ve made an insane Mandalorian Spaceship as the arena and make it look unreal! But of course, a multi-million dollar company doesn’t have the resources to make it happen, right…?
what we call the whole gaming industry is not all of actually, we are just used to the big title for years now per example with RL or CODs ( older ones). The thing is there are 2 simple ways on how it is ending for these: The direction -efforts put - their games or they just get killed and sent to oblivion by other games. They: think, talk, and see only numbers (Of players) so if we want to influence gaming direction u know what to do lads
I think its safe to say, everyone who's been playing for at least a year or two two feels this way. I started back in 2016 and always wanted more from the game. More game modes and other ways to play. Why cant they just hire lethamyr to make new games and maps? He does it all the time and the stuff he comes up with looks hella fun but it's too difficult to figure out how to play on his custom maps. Epic could do better but they dont which is why i will never give them money for anything they produce.
Meanwhile, the most unique core-like game mode, dropshot, gets removed for some reason.
I think the biggest fear of Epic purchasing Psyonix and Rocket League was that it would turn into Fortnite.
Little did we know how literal Epic would be with the implementation of that.
I hope that rocket league is going through a ch 2 fortnite part in its lifetime, I think we can remember when fortnite was dying and I think that rocket league is going through the same thing
The fact that epic games haven’t implemented air roll custom maps to consoles is a crime. I can’t even get better cause I don’t have a pc to even really learn air roll the correct way. And no I hate that stupid pillar map and trying to air in a circle in the middle of the field is stupid. I wish they would have made air roll easier so people can get better each season.
I would play the game for a month even if the only thing they add was black and white colors. But we cant even have 2 more colors its like Psyonix forgot how to be a game developer
I absolutely agree with your message, Epic/Psyonix need to be innovative and actually do something
I play Fortnite a lot but rocket league was the first ever game that I actually enjoyed and got me into gaming and honestly, this is making sad to see with what epic are doing to the game man, all they care abt is money...
Disneys recent stake in epic games
It’s not your content, it is most definitely all of the points you give. Epic’s offerings only being monetarily guided is ultimately at fault. I have so many duplicate items I should be able to trade up, but cannot. Too many good items and not enough ways to acquire any of them. The game wants to rewards only those who buy the pass. I get the revenue factor, but it’s one of the reasons the game is less appealing to the casual. We want to come back, we need something to look forward to.
also consider how long it takes to complete the full painted rocket pass, with FN i can just switch on an XP map and earn it for free (which is not ideal and somewhat beats the purpose of the pass but its a better option imo, i can spend time on other things) but with the rocket pass i have to drop in daily to even have a chance of gaining every paint.
Is there a reason they won't just hand the "keys" over to Lethymer to fix this game? It's literally that simple. We could probably crowd source his salary if Epic is worried about paying him. I'd chip in for one.
Theres no way, but if epic just like, un buys rl or whatever, the game would be in a much better situation
good job! your video hit the algorythm!
This Man deserves a Medal! He´s right! Epic dont see us as Players, they see us as Customers, you said i couldnt find the words for
i dont think epic knows that rocket league players would rather stop gaming all together than switch to fortnite.
Give us rocket league gachapons i'd buy those by the kilogram
but yeah the state of the game and content for it is about the worst i've ever seen in any game, trading was undeniably a large pillar supporting that content because you could get the new exciting items and because RNG is its own format for excitement. with that gone and nothing else for it, its just.. mechanics and challenges.
Epic full boxed our game and 200 pumped it
I was a semi pro at rocket league I even travelled for some lan esports competitions I use to play around 10 hours a day but sens year I haven’t touched
Why not?
Just feels stale send they reworked the hit box to only 3 it’s not the veriaty is really important when you are playing hours every day and also the challenge also a lot of good players left so I found my self playing on public lobbies and if you ever played pro you know you have to play your competition to get better and also to play with teammates to perfect your team work and other reasons
it was all obvious from the start when epic games announced they are "buying" rocket league, just a matter of time.
Look, you either grind going pro or hate yourself for stagnation/ freestyle. The game hasn't had new official content in literally like 7 years.
I quit hoping, and it's not worth putting my hands at risk to keep playing.
So my advice: Become a personality people care about and stream what you love, it'll make you happier which in turn creates an atmosphere for ppl to forget the world for 5-10 minutes or however long the vid is.
sources: Asmongold. The biggest example.
my predictions: Rocket League esports will see less and less viewership, with less and less prizepools as the game slowly dies.
10k avrg playerbase by 2026 or 2025.
the bottom line talks and if everyone stopped buying stuff and signed a petition to get ue5 it'll happen in 2 years or less I guarantee it.
Just noticed they removed workshop option for steam users too, wtf is this.
if rocket league dies, i hope Epic looses all of the money they have made off of our credits
just like the game carx it was slowly dying but they decided to add the workshop thing a slowly people started coming back, maybe if rocket league does that then....
Them removing trading really just ruined the game my grind to gc might be over.
I found out rocket league by one rocket league video by striped. I am one of the new people found the game just recently (maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago) sad that a game that i just found out was dying already. Sad that the developers are so greedy.
They not working for free...
Even Microsoft would do better. Minecraft has an update every June, with servers keeping it alive in the gap. You don’t even have to buy minecoins, because they let you get skins from the internet too. Microsoft isn’t money-hungry like epic games, and in my opinion they do a great job running Minecraft. I wish epic games actually cared about the community instead of just wanting money, money, money. You can’t get the gold rush or alphas without special mods. sad to see the game go.
You know what I did when Rocket League started going down hill? I quit and found something more entertaining to do with my time. Its not that hard. If they dont care about us, then why should we care to spend time in their game.
