Rocket League Catch All

Yeap, that's what drives me completely nuts. That and people stealing goals or, worse still, pushing the ball off course when it was going in! Gah!

I ranked up to pro in 2v2s last night after a few games in which I essentially took up the role of defender every single round, with only the occasional drives forward to score an open goal. People really seem to underestimate how quickly you can get to one end of the field to the other on a single boost.

Who's up for some games tonight? PS4 for me...

I just got this on pc tonight. Time to figure out what I'm doing.

Played some 2v2 with a friend tonight and that is a pretty great way to play. Took us a game to figure out the rhythm and flow of duos matches but once we did it was a blast.

Just picked this up for PC, one game and I'm totally hooked. So much for being productive this weekend. Is there a GWJer league? There should be.

Norfair and troubleshot...just sent you a friend request, so I can invite you to the group.

Just had a 3v3 game where we were tied 3-3. Off the next kick off I flipped into the ball, it hit one of their cars and deflected in to go 4-3. Next kick off we all flip into the ball at once so it stays put, I recover first and just drive it into the net, 5-3. Third kick off in a row I don't flip, it bounces around for a second then I flip into it and then it is 6-3 in about 12 seconds of play time.

If only I could figure out how to put that on YouTube.

Damn it, I passed out before I could come downstairs and get online last night. Sigsbee and I watched a couple episodes of TV on our bed and I dozed off right after.

I will surely be on tonight!

Anyone having errors showing up for save data upload on ps4?

Cue DSG's comments about the quality of XBL's servers.

Yep. I've been having issues with the uploads as well. I get that occasionally with seemingly every game, though. It's a minor irritation.

I thought I might have maxed my cloud storage quota, but after deleting a bunch out, it still happens.

Its the only game that I'm showing error for, everything else is working great.

Yeah, I assume this issue got pushed way down on their list of things to fix.

Good games tonight, everybody!

Not sure why I got message bombed by ElZoidberg last night. I had a friend over and was trying to teach him how to play. Maybe before you send message after message and invite after invite you would realize there was a reason I wasn't joining.

Im just not used to using ps4 social features. No harm meant.

Damn, Zoidberg, you must have sent a billion invites in order to stand out against the mere million that I sent him (and others).

Anyway, friend me up, I'll play with you.

Fine. I'm in on Steam.

Just had a ranked match where I scored the kickoff, and one of my teammates immediately quit. o.O

As you know, in ranked matches, quitters don't get replaced for some sh*tty reason.

Myself and the other guy, a random player named RBEL620, beat the other team 5-2!

Sometimes I've found my team mates more of a hindrance than a help...

The game is great, but the quitters can be rage-inducing. I won a solo vs 2 ranked game this weekend when my partner bailed in the first 30 seconds, 3-2. Very proud of myself!

No doubt. If I had a dollar for every backwards pass, or centering of the ball on our own goal...Had one of those players last night. I wanted to message him and ask him which team he was playing for. This is distinct from the even more common issue of hitting the ball in a neutral direction when your teammate has an opportunity to do something that's actually good.

One of the number one guidelines people post on Reddit is this:


Just because you can touch the ball doesn't mean you should.

I've taken up playing goalie in almost every match now, because it's fun ruining people perfect shots. But the number of times I am lined to up take a long shot at the goal and a teammate comes from off screen to smack the ball into the ground or into the wall is infuriating. Not only have you accomplished nothing, but you have also opened up the goal because I left it wide open to take a shot.

It's fun and frustrating to be this passionate about a game again.

Just because you can touch the ball doesn't mean you should.

Repeated for emphasis.

I have people that I play with regularly and we still have issues staying out of each other's way sometimes, especially in the offensive end. I tend to play a midfield and back role and just capitalize on easy opportunities. It's rough when somebody goes with a dribble to the side just as you come flying in to bury an easy goal. Communication is key on those. Even with voice coms, the action is sometimes too fast to account for the problem, though. I can't imagine playing with randoms and no voice and expecting anything other than a mess.

Learning who you are playing with is very important. I spend the first minute just getting a feel for my team. If they are all playing the chase the ball, than you have to play back and wait for the opportunity to strike. I usually don't mind if I get bumped by my own guy, mostly because if you play with the ball cam, it is hard to avoid collisions, especially when the ball is in the air. What I get frustrated with is when I am trying to knock the ball to the corner or forward and my own teammate rushes back and knocks the ball closer to our net. It is almost never good to force the ball that way (unless it is going in and you can force it into a corner). Voice definitely helps with set plays, but I don't think it will help with clusters.

I have one tip for everyone. I see this a lot of people boosting in the game (mostly when I am soloing but the advice might help). Boost should be conserved for three things. First, getting to the ball to make a shot on net. Second, goalies when they see the ball in a threatening position should "sometimes" boost to get to the ball before the opponent and knock it away and Third, when you have to get back fast because the other team is on a break away. If the ball is slowly working it's way back to your end, you don't need to waste the boost to get there, do a flip. Do a single jump, pull back on the stick causing your nose to aim down, then do the second jump and finish the flip. You should land on your wheels but moving faster. Do this twice and you are going as fast as a boost.
