Decals are per-car. You are probably collecting them for cars other than the one you are currently using.

It took me a while to get this figured out too. Once I started getting duplicates, I began to notice that it names the car the decal was unlocked for.

I heard that the game supports cross play between PS4 and PC. Has anyone tried this? I am playing on the PC (keyboard and mouse, it actually works well). I would be interested in teaming up and doing some coordination on something like Ventrilo.

As far as I'm aware, cross-platform is used for match-making only. There's not yet any way to party or chat with a specific teammate on another platform. Hopefully this is in the works, but it may be too monumental a task to get working on an indie game.

That'll be it.

Brilliant. Thanks.

We need a Rocket League steam group so people can post announcements when they're looking for people to play with, but I'm way too lazy to create one soooo......

I'll get one set up in a bit, and invite all of you with steam ID's in your sig. I'll make it so everyone has invite privileges.

Edit: Just discovered I can only invite friends. So if you're not on my friends list and would like an invite, message me on steam and let me know.

This game is sweet. I booted it up for a few rounds and scored 3 goals in my third match! One was done backwards. It's super fun. I just have to learn to sometimes keep BallCam off and also to use my eBrake more.

Yay! I've found my decals. Thanks.

I've been playing a season of Rocket League single player and I suspect Tex, one of my A.I. team mates, is either playing for the other team or being bribed to throw matches by a shadowy Rocket League betting syndicate. He has made some amazing saves in front of the other teams goal and has scored at least three times as many own goals as actual goals.

This is my GOTY so far. Not joking.

Yup!

Okay, this is stupid. Playing online does not count toward trophies. At least the 500K one doesn't. I was thinking I had to be somewhere near 500k driven. I check the car I use the most. 0 miles. I've only ever used it online. I play one match offline and get over a mile. Well, I guess I'll be playing seasons for a while.

Online is where this game is where this game is at its strongest, I've just played with my mate, after 4 defeats we finally won and loved it so much.

Yeah. It's crazy how rewarding goals are online. I think these guys and Nintendo (with Splatoon) have hit upon something. Quick matches, reliable games regardless of whether people drop and little to no communication.

It's sad that communication was a casualty of a-holes online, but it's cool that companies are hitting on formulas for fun online games that maximize the benefits and minimize the detriments.

Just to let you guys know, we now have a vent channel and steam group up. Feel free to message me if you need the info, I'd be happy to help.

Really fun 3x3 goodjer matches this evening. Been quite a few years since I last had "video game thumb".

I've got all the trophies but one. Play with a friend.

I'll have play with you, friend. I'll probably be on and off psn most of the day. Send me an invite, even if I'm in a different game

Thanks, Mogg. That was a blast. I have to get my headset working again. It's technically not broken I just can't find it. I'm sure it's a lot more fun with chat and more GWJers?

That was fun. I've never played with chat or other GWjer's, but usually that makes things much more fun. I'll need to dig out my headset too.

Just played this today. Wow! I want to play with other Goodjers on PS4 ASAP!

Well I just played this for a good long while and had the fortunate joy of shrieking relentlessly about my 'l33t skills' and also my horrible failures in front of an IRL friend and schutter31. So uh, thanks to schutter for putting up with me.

I have this on Ps4 and now PC if anyone wants to play.

Looks like I need to get back into this. I'll probably get back to it Wednesday, so expect some friend requests if I don't have you already, or feel free to friend me if you get to it first.

Eek00kEek, middle two characters are 'zeros'.

Drag me in for a match if you see me online (that also applies to anyone on PS4) but perhaps not if I'm playing Bloodborne at the time. The contrast in tone between those two games might give me whiplash.

Haha, had a great time!

Every time I fire up this game I say to myself I'll just play for a half hour or so and then I look up and 3 hours have passed.

AHHHHH THIS GAME

It's so dumb (and so great) when you do the equivalent of a "header" and redirect the ball into the goal. Then you see the replay of the car flipping and "heading" the ball in with the tail of the car. So great.

So this happened. (Note: The video is there for the second goal. The first one is just there so the video isn't 20 seconds long. If you think I wasn't screaming like a child into the mic, you're crazy.

That's legit amazing.

I need to figure out how to time like you do on the second shot.

Haha! Me too.

The other team then scored as I was messing around with the share button. We were playing with 4 friends, so it was no biggy. I was told I "had to save it because it would never happen again."

I think if you use a controller it is easier as you can make the right stick be airtime rotation. I use the keyboard and mouse so the 'w' key is used for both moving forward and rotating forward, so when I jump I almost always roll forwards.

Oh, yeah. That would be really problematic. To aerial boost like I did, you have to jump, roll gently back, boost - in that order. It's impossible if you've already rolled as soon as you jump. The next level would be to roll forward and shoot it instead of just bouncing it toward the goal. I'm not there yet. (Or even close. This one was one in a hundred).
