Rocket League League interest?!!!
All right you Xbox One Only f'ers.
Rocket League comes to Xbox One on 2/17. It brings all the joys of pond hockey, soccer, and rewarding physics based play to your consoles in bite size nuggets of 5 minute matches. I would be astounded if this doesn't develop a following among the crowd here. It is literally the most fun I have had with a console game in the last 3 years.
I would LOVE to run a league here, and would like to know who may be interested. I'm thinking we could run a standard (3x3) and doubles league side by side, and have matches be best 2 out of 3 games. That's under a half hour of commitment per game.
I'm in for sure.
You WILL be interested! Sign up below!

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
I just played this for the first time ever last night after my son hounded me for the past week.
I can see the reason for the hype. I absolutely suck, but it was a great time. I would have interest.

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
Depending on the night, I certainly would have interest as well.
Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
It's a day one purchase from me, so I would be interested. My availability may be wonky, though.

My first inclination would be NOT to have a set night, but to have league teams to work out within a week when they can find 20ish minutes of time to play. That's all it will take.
Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
I'm excited to give this one a try. Put me down and optimistically possible.

Haven't played online in ages but this one might force me to make the time.

In. In. In.
I'm hoping this functions as methadone for my Fallout 4 problem.

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
My oldest son has been playing this on PC for quite a while and loves it!
For us guys that loves cars and soccer, what's there not to love? At least now I can play it sitting on my couch and on my 70" Vizio.

Never played it. I don't want to get it if I'm not going to play it but it does intrigue me bit.Pete1210 wrote:Rocket League is up! Anyone up for some friendly matches tonight.

Rocket League is available now for Xbox. Released a few hours early.
THIS GAME IS F*CKING FUN AS HELL. My sons and I have laughed our balls off playing it for the last 30 minutes.
Back to Rocket League!

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
Couldn't figure out how to get in the same game with RobV last night. I'm sure some of it might be my unfamiliarity with the system, but looking forward to jumping on with you guys again.
Gameplay is a little jerkier than PS4 version, but that game has been out for a while now there with several updates/upgrades. Overall, a really good port.
Get some gametime in, folks! Then I'll post up some doubles/standard league signups!

As a local multiplayer game, it doesn't get much better. Can't wait till my son can control a car well enough to play. Might be a few years still, lol.pk500 wrote:Rocket League is available now for Xbox. Released a few hours early.

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
Had my first hat trick today and also saved a potentially game-tying goal off the line with a backflip and :01 left on the clock. So much crazy fun!

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
Good games last night, Rob and G7!
I cost us that last one with some horrific goal defense. Liked getting that 10 in a row victories before that, though!

Geeze, I barely even get a goal. I'm usually the idiot zooming around BARELY missing the ball in every interaction. Game is so fun, but I suck so badly.

I thought I was getting reasonably ok playing with randoms. Then I jumped on with G7 and Web and I looked like a puppy chasing my tail.TCrouch wrote:Geeze, I barely even get a goal.

I can score here and there and I can contribute on offense, but defense is a freaking nightmare for me. Those crazy slow, high bouncing shots just give me fits.

Re: Rocket League League interest?!!!
Yeah, the whiff-happy, zoom-about phase needs to be experienced when you start for sure!
Two recommendations:
1) Play with the camera settings to find what you like! I recommend zooming out at least a little to give you more awareness around your car. Many of the high level players max it out that way.
2)Get used to both ball and car cam, and use the camera toggle during the match. I actually use that button about as much as brake and slide! Depending on the situation, both cameras are useful, and toggling perspective can get you the right look at the right time.
One of the 'noob' things I figured wouldn't be an issue with this crew of online team soccer/hockey veterans here is the lack of maintaining proper space and positioning. So often everyone piles into each other for the ball, abandoning defense, and knocking each other all over the place.
Maintaining a positional 'cycle' is important too, allowing the field to be covered and supporting your teammates while allowing for boost recharge opportunities. There's a cool diagram online. I don't follow it to the letter, but it provides a useful framework on how you should be thinking.
