    It's bad.
    I've been playing this game since 2019, and oh boy, it has not aged well.
    Back when I bought it, I originally intended to play this game with some friends of mine. It was a blast, because Rocket League, at its core, is *really* fun. It all goes downhill the moment you go play competitively. If i had to give one piece of advice, TURN OFF CHAT. This Community is some of the most    It's bad.

    It all goes downhill the moment you go play competitively. If i had to give one piece of advice, TURN OFF CHAT. This Community is some of the most annoying to deal with. You can't save the ball?
    Prepare for 3 to 9 instances of "What a Save!" in the chat from the enemy team! You missed a shot? "Nice Shot!"
    And you must not say anything back, because if you say something slightly offensive, the other person who talked trash first WILL report you and get you game or chat banned.
    Now, this would all be tolerable if it didn't tie into my next point: The Developers, Psyonix.
    Psyonix, the team behind Rocket League, got bought by Epic Games in 2019.
    This brought:
    -A Fortnite-esque item store where every part of the previously established Market for Items was changed
    -A lot more strict chat rule enforcement (which would be good, but literally any trash talk will get you banned, and the type of ban is handed out randomly.)
    and many more, but the worst of them all:
    Epic Games Store exclusive. This meant that the game would be no longer on Steam, would become free-to-play (one actual positive), and would require downloading the horrible mess that is the Epic Games Launcher and Users were forced into using an Epic Games account.
    This wouldn't be so bad if the Epic Games Service as a whole wasn't a terrible experience.
    Your issue didn't get resolved the first time you opened a ticket with our quite frankly, terrible support staff? Too bad, now you wont be able to request help with the same issue again, because you will actually get ignored.
    Rant over.
    I'm giving this game a 3 because the game itself is good, but the people behind it and the community are terrible.    … Expand

    The devs dont care about the game and the ranked gamemodes suck so much d its crazy. there are so many smurfs and people boosted into a certain rank that its not based on skill but mostly on luck if you get a good or bad opponent. you can get banned forever just for swearing once

    The game is fun to play. Though as soon as you start to take it seriously the developers have done so little work. The inconsistency in connection,touches,ball touching the ground in the 1 second,connecting to wrong servers,difference in latency between players. Better find another game to spend your time because all these bugs are irritating and not acceptable for a competitive game.

    Ok where do I start? The idea for the game is great and the mechanics significantly reduce the amount of cheaters. Not completely though. The higher ranks have almost only cheaters because things that they do are unlearnable for anyone and its an obvious fact.

The higher ranks have almost only cheaters because things that they do are unlearnable for anyone and its an obvious fact. So they have a great advantage by using hacks and they can make this game more "fun and spectacular to watch" on streams and sh... They even removed the ability to report for cheating so I guess... THERE IS NO CHEATING :DDD How come no law-maker become smart enough to legalize murders? There would be no murders in statistics since you couldnt report them... pure genius.

    Since epic took over this game it turned into even bigger sh1t than it already was. "People" who play this game are triggered by the chat and it's too much for those ret4rds to just use the "mute" button so they decide to stay afk or play against you instead.
    Ranks and points system in this game - total piece of sh1t. Why? Because the game doesn't really see who is a better player who is doing much more for the win. The other guy can be ruining everything by ballchasing which causes passing to enemy and making the opponent score, etc.
    He cant save, cant pass or clear, cant do anything BUT the game will give points to this stupid ballchaser, thus "making" him better player and giving him more MMR points just because he keeps touching the ball at the right time and in the right place (according to this broken points system, not according to logic). RIDICULOUS. It doesnt matter that he's made all the mistakes that lead to a loss. Total nonsense. Those who make this game should watch at least 1 football match and see how players are evaluated. 1 stupid thing you did on the pitch and you are out for long, if not forever. In this game mistakes dont matter. Hell, even playing against your own teammate is not punished. You can score 30 own goals in 1 match and it's not even noted anywhere :DDD Even in stupid CS:GO you are banned for team-killling. Here you can do literally whatever you want. There are no statistics for anything wrong the player did and that's why this whole game is a mess! So many over-ranked people who were boosted by cheaters! Then he goes to play alone and you are matched with him in the team and he plays like piece of s..t that he really is. Man... I seriously think that those who make this game are trolls.

    Prices are a joke in this game. Its another piece of sh1t after CS:GO made to make money for the devs and it's "pro" cheating players, but in CS:GO you can at least buy whatever you want for a decent price. Here even stupid goal explosion is like 20$.

    How can such game not even support a mouse-look? I know there are a lot of people who play on a controller, but not everyone does. I want to look around freely like in any other game. Is it too hard to make it possible? Or would it be an advantage over controllers? Well boo-hoo, Learn how to play with a mouse then.

    No brightness or contrast settings, the game somehow "forgets" about applying the anti-aliasing which I have to do every time I start the game.

    How to make this game a bit better? Make mmr thing finally work through punishing bad players and trolls. In current state you will be only punished with a BAN for calling someone an idiot which he really is by judging how he plays (you will be banned for the game entirely instead of being muted :DDD). Second game after CS:GO which was made for cheating streaming losers with no better idea for life, pathetic sissies and ret4rds.    … Expand

    The camera system of this game is so bad. Also how stupid the developers are, they put players in the middle of the losing match where only 1-2 minutes left in the game and the scoreboard is 4-0/3-0. Even in casual matches, taking leave from the game in such a situation gives punishment.

    1_ O pareamento de partidas é desigual no modo casual

    An original game with decent gameplay, and would be fun if it wasn't full of cheaters. The game is ruined by people who can fly with unlimited boost and hit the ball midair from any angle and have it magically go straight into the goal every time. It's sad that these people have such poor quality character that they derive enjoyment from doing this.

    Do you remember “Top Gear” episodes in which football matches were played using hatchbacks? The same idea is the cornerstone of Rocket League – one of those jewels that do not care for bells and whistles (though it does look great) and Kevin Spacey in the credits, instead focusing on squeezing every last drop of fun out of a simple concept.
