Found this old photo from 2017. My wife and I put our mattress on the living room floor ordered some sushi and spent the evening playing Rocket League together. Nothing fancy just us having a great time. Looking back, these are the memories that really stick with you. ❤️
I could've pushed the opp off the wall, but let off the gas. He broke it.
Yes they lost cause karma.
Calling all Uncs:
How many hours are you putting in to stay “good” or improve? I’m finding that I have to play around 8 hrs a week to maintain C3, around 6 for C2, and 2-4 for C1.
If I played more, like last season, I can maintain GC1. It would be very difficult for me to get anything higher without putting a lot of time in or playing a decent amount consistently.

Hey guys, I'm looking to hear your thoughts on what I can do to get better. I've been playing for a long time, long enough that it's the only video game I play, though only about 10-14 hours a week. I've become pretty fast, and while I'm not too mechanical, I can do the basics: air dribbles, ground plays, double resets, etc. What I struggle with are mustys, triple resets, pop resets.
Overall my mechanics are good enough to play keepaway in most Champ lobbies, and my game sense is decent too. I've quit the game a lot at this point and have slowly been trying to improve mechanically. I think if I grinded out C3 I could hit GC1 and level out there, but honestly I don't really want that, I'd rather just get good mechanically, since I think that would take me further and I'd enjoy it more.
That said, I'm struggling to figure some things out, especially settings. I know switching settings isn't usually a good idea, but I've been a Squishy fan for a long time and play similarly (obviously not as good, but the style is there). I've noticed that the slower setting (1.3/1.3, 0.05) makes a lot of mechanics harder, especially rapids and pop resets, it feels like I'm forced to play slower. I'm looking for something a little faster, and I've had some luck with 0.07 and a higher sensitivity. It's like my brain thinks faster than the setting allows, and with a higher setting I can do a lot more and start new movements before finishing the previous one. Also, I have a gamesir controller if anyone has any advice on that.
Has anyone been in a similar spot, or have an idea of where I should go from here? I'm looking to try settings that prioritize faster gameplay and mechanics, since my strengths are game sense and simpler mechanics. Also, if anyone has a list of mechanics I should train from first to last, that'd be a huge help.
I recently came back from a 2 week break. When I got back I felt slow at first so I took a break from ranked. As soon as I started playing (I was 1704 at the time) I went on a 16 win streak up to 1861 then lost 2 games. I then managed to get ssl in 8 games the next day, losing only 2.
I want to clarify that my previous peak was 1764 and regularly float around 1700 so this was completely out of the blue for me.
Although, leading up to this I had played 30-40 tournament games at high gc3 mmr, and therefore running, into performing against, and beating many ssls in the process, so I was wondering that this could've been a big help.
I'm curious as to whether this was a freak case or if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Sidenote: yes I lost ssl after 7 games and after 90 games hovering around 1840 in 3 days I went from 1820 back to 1706.
After over a year of grinding, hate comments and tears. I finally hit my dream rank in RL.
older video of Jared Cone explaining the basics of how rocket league was made. super interesting to listen to. he goes into depth on how servers work, and input buffers, and how the car cosmetic physics dilemma was solved.
Reached champ for the first, been hard stuck diamond for probably a decade by now😭. This should serve as a reminder that even someone who can't do a half-flip can crawl their way into champ
I know a lot of you like having chat off so you avoid toxicity. I get that. However, I’ll never turn it off because I find the toxicity in this game WAY too funny. Knowing someone out there is getting extremely mad about hitting a ball with a car in the right way? Hilarious. I don’t find it distracting at all. In fact, it’s led to some of the best moments I’ve had in RL
Yesterday I played a game where my teammate had this decal. I love the golden parts, pls help me find it
Why do we need to wait a whole month for just one week on Knockout, and it's not even guaranteed to be here (like today for example), is it that difficult to add in to Private Match ? Okay it's not the most popular mode but theres not even communication about it, the mode can just be deleted and we'll never know. Please Psyonix do something. We are doing things on this mode, we have plans even if it's not official. It's just saddening.
They always just hit it like I'm a golf tee or something
