    The game is neat, but I'm not sure it was worth sacrificing 2+ years of development that could have been implemented into Rocket League. Glad to see they're shifting their focus back, and hopefully this is where things start to get better. I've sent over my suggestions to certain people within the dev team. Not that my word means much, but I definitely have a LONG list of ideas!

      Not cope, but this genuinely could of been pretty good. If you made the game how rocket league was made.
      You’re fully in control of the car. No button is gonna put that ball in the net without you BEING the car.
      If they thought full control. Imagine air roll, imagine spinning out, imagine wave dashing, hell even forward flips and using the ceiling for a reset on flips. So much could of made this insane.
      This game is just wow map design matched with Walmart split/second drift boosting and asphalt flips.
      Epic L is an understatement. They missed what made people enjoy rocket league and trivialized/ruined the things they didn’t miss.

      Not to mention, the boost/drifting mechanic is already done by Crash Team Racing so there's nothing new they bring to the table in terms of racing games either. They should have added things like jump and wave dash to knock people out with the sacrifice of speed etc., something new with a skill curve.

Rocket League is for tryhards, this is meant for a completely different playerbase. It just has the Rocket League name to give it a boost off the ground, it's marketing.

      @@iRaps1 Sure, and I think that is why this will be a flop. Interest for a little while and then it'll die down. Rocket League helps to create some sort of interest but mainly due to its reputation of being easy to pick up but hard to master.
      Side Swipe was done perfectly as they targeted a market that hasn't been taken the Western world with storm as much, and they had a concept that translated well. Also no competitors.
      For gamers and what Rocket League is known for is difficulty and reward bringing something new to the table. This game doesn't do any of that. They'll get their niche community but that's about it.
      At least that's how I look upon it now. I may be wrong, but I don't see this game still being alive in a year, or bringing as much money in as investors and EG would have hoped for.

    Something I’ve noticed about the air dodge, you do have to sweetspot the landing, even though it does magnetize a little bit, you either have to initiate the air dodge extremely close to wherever you’re landing or from a set distance for a clean landing. Otherwise there’s a chance you will hit the ground before the car fully rolls and you’ll lose a bit of speed from a sloppier landing.

    I think that the problem is in the fact that in Rocket League you can occupy any point in a 3D space at any angle facing any direction, and it seems like you are more “on rails” in this game. Which makes it feel like it’s not rocket league. I agree that the ranked mode should give you more freedom to occupy the 3D space while still progressing thru the track (I.e. not magnetizing you to the track, controlling your air roll totally). But all that comes with a cost to accessibility

At least in RL there are free cars you can choose without being forced to buy one.

    I think what leth was talking about when he said it was “rigid” was that the mechanics are a lot more controlled or confined and user friendly, whereas rocket league has a lot more inputs that can be used simultaneously, meaning many mechanics of rocket league have been found that weren’t designed to be in the game. Think flip resets, wall dashes etc. There’s no psyonix tutorials on these mechanics. That’s why rocket league is so much fun- it’s the uniqueness of the game and the diversity. Rocket racing just feels like a select number of mechanics all designed by psyonix for the benefit of new players.

    Why is it so difficult for Epic Games to understand that all the Rocket League community wants is… some content?!
    Putting a racing game in Fortnite and using the Rocket League IP is not going to bring Rocket League players to Fortnite on the long-term, and it’s even less likely to do the opposite (bring Fortnite players to RL).
    Rocket League benefits from having mechanics and physics that are insanely good, almost scarily good. All Epic/Psyonix need to do is give us some new game modes, give us some new mutator options and it would be an amazing start. It’s not like there’s thousands of hours of creator content to use as a reference.. cough.. or like they’ve had several years to think about it… smh.

I personally wish that when to drift made more sense but it looks like a fun game.
    Edit: I think people who are avid rocket league fans are coping and not really seeing the bigger picture. If they wanted to only make the rocket league fans happy then they would’ve just spent time on making rocket league better. (Former champ in every rank so don’t think I don’t enjoy rocket league because I do.)
    Edit 2: I didn’t realize that they were also backtracking on rocket league by removing drop shot among other things from the base game. But I still don’t think that is a good enough reason to be shitting on this game. It takes failure to get better at anything and maybe rocket league is dying. So what? Games come and go.
