    You have to play with cross play disabled otherwise you will only run into pc hackers that will catch and throw with impossible reaction times. Try playing cross play and then disabling on console to test this out. Cross play with PC needs to be impossible with console player due to all the PC hackers. This game is unplayable in this state and the matchmaking times increase with disablingYou have to play with cross play disabled otherwise you will only run into pc hackers that will catch and throw with impossible reaction times.

    its an ok game severely lacks content but its also got no interest from the community, lack of a player base will kill this game, it needs more than 3v3. I think EA shouldve based it on atleast 6v6 would of been awesome and youd less likely get steam rolled with randoms. way less likely to run into a team of 6 friends on the enemy team than how it is now with 3 lol. as a person in theirits an ok game severely lacks content but its also got no interest from the community, lack of a player base will kill this game, it needs more than 3v3.

    A wicked, Rocket League-inspired fiesta that cleverly translates dodgeball into a fast-paced multiplayer game. With the variety of balls (and player’s ability to become one!), throwing, catching, knocking each other out, and avoiding city traffic, it’s pure fun. However, to enjoy the game to the fullest, be sure to gather a proper team instead of playing with randoms. [08/2021, p.38]

    Dodgeball meets platformer, and makes an enjoyable PvP baby. Easy to understand, much less easy to avoid getting a ball in the face. Don’t dodge this one. [Issue#3, p.152]

    Approachable, but surprisingly deep, Knockout City is one of 2021’s biggest surprises and a refreshing take on the team-based competitive multiplayer genre.
