So yeah since there's 3 hours left for the servers to go down, I'm trying to get people to play with us on a private match! Send me a message if you want to join! :)
 
The game is so much fun. Anyway i shouldn't play it when im drunk. While we were beating them 4-2, i caused one goal and scored an own goal myself to make it 4-4. With 5 seconds left i missed the ball and it seemed like they were gonna score and win but before the ball crossed the line the match ended and it extended. Then on overtime i scored and we won. I haven't had so much fun for a very long time. When is it coming out guys?

alright im hittin it till it quits, sonicjosh86 on psn for anyone who wants to roll, add me please for a few last great games

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
I wish Psyonix went the Psygnosis route and built a little back story behind the league and the teams a la WipEout.

Game could be so huge if it transcends that "quirky little downloadable title" vibe.

It needs lots of iconography and stylish, memorable liveries.

Good games earlier. Here's the goal my real life "friend" blocked from me. We're no longer friends.

Man this is the closest I've come to an aerial goal.

If someone scored on me like that I wouldn't even be mad.

Your friend is a dick.

This would be cool for the single player. Maybe if they added in stats for single player, you could face a team of fast sports cars, slower but more demolition-capable trucks, etc
 
Thanks for an awesome beta, Psyonix.


I hope you guys nail the launch in terms of bugs and servers. I feel that's the biggest thing reviewers may slam you for

Sad that it's already down, I was hoping to play it for a few hours tonight.

If it comes out late June it will be a nice game to start playing right after E3.

Well a friend and I actually kinda got trounced our last couple of games. Bad goaltending by me a couple times, and this one kid on the other team was just damn good. Still a fun time, though, and can't wait for the full version release.

lmao yeah he said he saved the clip too so he could offer me another perspective on my failure.
 
Honestly, Psyonix could've sold Rocket League's current build as an Early Access title on Steam or the equivalent of that on PSN. The beta is very polished (for what's there anyways) to the point it's reminiscent of Killing Floor 2 in that regard. Overall audio randomly sounding muted until you reboot the game is the only bug I've encountered in 8+ hours of playtime, servers / matchmaking seemed quite stable too and framerate performance is largely on-point as well. It's a well-realized package that I frankly wouldn't mind paying for already, it being incomplete notwithstanding.
 
Final seconds could stand to be a tad bit more lenient. This transpired in one of my matches nearing the end of the beta:

I would've been furious if I was on blue team and subsequently lost. ಠ_ಠ

Yeah, that sucks. The timer stops right when the ball touches the ground but if part of the ball is touching the goal line like that, it should be allowed to keep going.
 
The beta was so good - i didn't get a code until yesterday, but after an hour or so of matches and having loved it's predecessor I'm in.. So good.

I've been on teams where we had the ball almost in like that and it didn't count, and I was fine with it. Occasionally in sports you get shit luck and there's nothing that can be done about it.

You hear that, Shadow?

You should probably check it out. You'll be able to score some goals when the game comes out if you practice up.

Thanks Grainchy! I'm totally going there right now, especially since it's the only way I win too! ;)


Also, Psyonix posted the top 100 players at the end of the beta.
I got robbed out of the top 100 clearly

I uploaded a video of Shadows' 1 minute comeback game as well, in case anyone want to see it from a different POV, or watch how a top 65 player do little to nothing except failing miserably.
Hey we still can access training mode!

It's something...
Neat, need that fix, and I need to practice my aerial control

Thank God they expanded the list to 100, and do you play really really poorly when I'm not around?

Watching your video it's also comforting to know that other people check the scoreboard as obsessively as me.
 
ROCKET LEAGUE IS GOING TO BE AT E3!!

They are going to show off the season mode

I hope they get center stage at Sony's conference, with a hot e-sports trailer of some kind to hype those that don't know.

Nice, cool seeing that game from your perspective!

And what do you mean when you're not around? Did you see me play yesterday? I was horrible LOL

For real though, I barely played alone, and because of that I played mostly vs people worse than me (because of total party matchmaking rating). I mean, I don't want to brag myself, but whenever I did play alone, I always met at least one person of the top 100 (so many names I recognized from the list...). So yeah, although I won most games, since like 75% of them were against people worse than me, they didn't (or shouldn't) count as much. Not that I did bad against people high on the list or anything, but I just didn't play much against them for it to influence, if I were to guess.

TL,DR: I'm bad

Yeah I checked to see if you were on there. A search for "Shay-dow" turned up nothing.

I wasn't on there either but that's only because I gave up my spot so others could feel special.
 
I hope we aren't too far from a full release.... need my juice! Played a few farewell games last night, keep getting better and better. Last night, I will say playing standard, it seemed like we couldnt keep people, which meant AI players in there pretty regularly, which is annoying since the AI doesn't mess up or miss shots. I'd rather play at a handicap.
