Hi there, I have a lot of hours in rocket league and no mechanics to speak off. I want to start improving by improving the most basic "mechanics" which would be ground car and ball control. I am shocked at how bad I am at those and blame it on my age (46) and lack of talent but I think I can still improve.

Do you have any tipps, training packs, videos you would suggest?

I mainly play Twos (D1) and Ones (P1) two improve. I really like Flakes approach to focus on the game rather then on the mechanics, but as I said before I simply lack the consistent basics.

I have the workshop maps, Aim training - by Coco and Noob Dribble by DMC.

Is anyone actually enjoying this new casual mode?

Hello everyone, I’m relatively new to Rocket League, with only about 500 hours played so far… In 2s, I’m currently ranked Diamond 2, and I can’t seem to progress any further… Recently, I read a report that 1s might help with that. So, here’s my very first ranked 1v1 match! Do you have any tips on where I need to improve to finally reach Champion?

I wonder if others also have this feeling that during evenings smurfs are more prominent.

I’m silver 3 for some time and when I play during lunchtime I win all the games. Not super easily but I win them. Then I go up in ranking and in the evening when I play again I see a drastic increase of skill in my opponents. Which makes me barely win or loose and then I go down again few slots.

I have to say it’s quite annoying and I consider not playing competitive any more during late hours to finally be able to jump to gold.

Whether it's a club name, club tag, or tournament name, what are some interesting names you've used or seen?

My friends and I recently played a tournament and somehow won with the name Socialist Jiu Jitsu. Our club name is Aunt Tifa. We used the club tag [BLM] for a while, but the amount of racism in the text chat was exhausting, so now it's just [ANTI]. It was pretty entertaining to get people tilted and then silently dunk on them, but the toxicity wasn't fun most of the time.

I know they did a fat deranked at the beginning of the season but even after that it feels different. For the past year and a half I’ve been champ 1 and up in champ 2. Now I’m diamond 3 and I feel like I’m facing high D1 players and champ 1 feels like C2 players.

I don’t mind at all idc about rank but it’s just something I’ve noticed and wondering if anyone has also? Maybe I’m just playing shitty idk but D2/D3 before was very toxic with a mix of terrible and amazing people but it’s been very consistent now

r/rocketleague made a decision very early on that highlights would be allowed every day as regular posts. Subsequently, the sub turned into a giant highlight reel. Sure there were a couple of posts here and there on patches, RLCS, rare items, etc. But seeing highlight after highlight really killed the community discussions.

Making a request to the mods that highlights become a sticky-only or one-day-a-week thing as opposed to the core focus of the community.

The cars of Rocket League can boost, jump, and fly, but now they can dance! With the new Bumblebee Car, players can watch their ride stand up and celebrate on the Post-Game Spotlight screen. Alongside the car, the Transformers Bundle comes with everything you need to claim victory over the Decepticon threat.

The Transformers Bundle rolls out June 14 - 27!
