Rocket League Catch All

This is great. I might be addicted.
Playing on PS4.

You know, I'm starting to think we may have the numbers for a GWJ Rocket League... League. Split into teams of 3-4 and play a round robin to determine the ultimate victor.

The 15 min ban evidently isn't enough to stop the people that drop. I have played like 3 or 4 ranked matches since the update and someone has left in every match.

This would be really easy if the PC could play with the PS4. Since it is going to be split the PS4 players may be a little short.

fogrob, sent you a friend invite earlier today.

I'm going to go through and add people, feel free to do the same to me, my PS4 brethren.

To all who played RL with us last night. I've spoken with Masher (our TS server admin) and he's happy to have any and all GWJ members and friends that wish to use the server, join.

If anyone needs server info, PM me or Masher.

Yep. Glad to offer it for GWJ folks and friends. It can handle up to 20 people now, so let me know if we need more. I think I have it set up so anyone can create custom rooms as well, if you need to break things up even more. I've kept the permissions pretty loose, since it's all trusted folks.

Sounds like fun. I can be a built-in handicap for one team.

Feel free to invite me for a game of you see me playing at night. I've gotten good enough that I almost never set the ball up for the other team anymore.

I also gave my four year old daughter the controls on the empty training map and let her fool around. She had a blast running the car around upside down on full boost.

Nothing better than having a partner disconnect 2 minutes into a 2v2 Rocket League ranked match and still winning. What a rush!

Now that you can win with no partners, you might be skilled enough to attempt winning with me as a teammate!

Happy to help if timezones/consoles permit! I also really hope we can just get enough PS4 players to play private matches. Makes it way more fun than groaning at randoms online!

If you guys haven't added me to your friends list(ps4), hit me up, I'm usually available to play most evening

This sounds pretty rad to me. A match could involve a 'best of three' unless folks want it to be a bit of a mad scramble which is fun too. Would people be picking teams? Or some form of randomised team building aimed at fair total team skill levels? Either way I am down for this, I've had some experience setting up such leagues in Blood Bowl to great success.

I'm playing this on the PS4. Would love to join up with more people. Had great fun with a couple of GWJers last night. Please do add me to your friends list.

Installing now.

I hope split-screen works on PC, so it can bring back some Diddy Kong Racing memories for my darlin'.

Having spent the entire weekend doing just that, split screen works incredibly well. If you can, add a second monitor or TV so you both have your own full screens to yourselves. Next time I take this to a LAN I'm making sure I have enough TVs to do a 2x2 configuration. What a blast!

Whoa! I just did the advanced tutorial... I had no idea those moves were built in. If anyone is playing this game and is as stupid as me for either not doing the tutorial or not figuring out the moves anyway, give it a try.

Is there a Steam group I can join?

Anybody ever play DeathBall? It was a mod for UT 2004. I played the hell out of that and this gives me the same vibe.

I need to train myself to stop flipping around like a madman every time I get in the air.

It may be easiest to just let people pick teams, but that would allow for some of the, uh, better players to band together. I'm not sure how we could make it more fair. Ideas?

The GWJ Vent server has a Rocket League channel. Details on the Vent server are in the stickied thread.

I love this game so much. 2 on 2 is proving to be a really nice mode for taking your time to setup some shots. I snapped a quick vid of this one because I actually meant to score this way. For once.

Beautiful shot.

One podcast I listen to described this game last week (either Idle Thumbs or Giant Beastcast) to real soccer, saying that this is the most pure expression of soccer in video games. I kind of agree. Weird that it took soccer playing cars playing 4 on 4 in an enclosed arena to get the feel right.

That cant be true.
Or did I miss how to fake dive to get a penalty?

Nah, we're talking Women's Football here.

That was beautiful, Certis. I love 2 on 2. There's so much more space for decisive, well planned and timed maneuvers.
