So, with the PS Plus discussion, I already letting my sub expire at end of year, thinking about that I have to setup back-up sync process on my PS5->USB->PC. To my surprise, that option is no longer available on PS5 games(only PS4 title, not upgraded version, still have that option.)

The price hike is there "because they can", Sony even blatantly shows on the console they can let you save individual save to USB for PS4 games BUT not PS5 games. As a long time sub this double whammy also lead me to the decision that I will no longer buy any cross platform release on PS5.

• PS5 will be left to play only the Sony exclusives from developer that I still care about. I will take the risk for not having save backups.
• I will never pay for any online tax on any platform for multiplayer and cloud saves. (already dropped live during XBox 360 and never paid for Nintendo Online.)
• I will keep my PS5 not updated after my current sub expires and wait for hack/jailbreaks so I can back up my save files.

Honestly it saddens me cause from now on every time my favorite developers release a game I have to remind myself about all the above. I am the type of fanatic that sometimes buys multiple copies of games on different platforms just to give devs I love more money. So with this change of event, I probably need to get a Xbox just to buy some future indie games in the $20~30 range instead of buying on PS4/PC.

Good job Sony, you cornered me really well, thanks.

We all know that bug where you join but stuck as spectator right? Usually when that happened and you quit, you can still do other queue(don't know if this is changed or not).

Today, I queue 2s/3s at the same time but stuck in spectator view with out any interface/ball or other players.(can't even bring up score board, can quick chat but it prints the content without YOU: in front.) When I wait for like almost 1 mins, I bring up the menu and see the Leave Game button.(not the usual red Abandon Match.) So I pressed and go back to main menu, queue a different one in free play to then see there are no search status. Later it reflects in the queue menu that I got a temp ban for 5 mins in both casual and competitive/extra queue.

Unfortunately I didn't remember to record this. So yo guys might need to watch out when queuing.

Now that the summer school also finished, we would probably have way worse solo queue quality overall. I guess I should start playing 1s until September school resumes.

And, please remember to report bad behavior, once enough reports sends in, then toxic accounts would be flagged and probably trigger review/autoban. If no one does it, then it will just keep running rampant. Yes, even report the guy idling on opponent team or own goal.

17 games losing streak after that is.(I marked my id when the title says win, but I am on the losing side) A gentle reminder to myself and my sleep hours, you can get your useless rocket pass level next day and will play better while well rested.

It's casual so all fun and giggle, but how many would trap yourself chasing for that last game to push reward to next level and then entering that death downward spiral.

A fairly good read if you are interested on why better player can cover the worse player even without fancy mechanics. The "I can hang with [insert higher rank] tm8s" are mostly an illusion, if you can truly see through that and realize which part you need to improve, then it really opens up your way to rank up.

Watch the clip and give it some thought. I will post my experience in the comments, feel free to share your thought.

I pretty much lose all the placements, then fortunate enough someone thinks that we mashed well, then win streak almost back to Champ. (1 point left to div up to Champ, 1074 atm.)

on my placement matches there are so many players feels like they are like 2 ranks above me at least. I don't know if that's actually a thing but it sure does feel like psyonix did address the 2s MMR drift issue. (which is a good thing. )

I am peaking, simple as that, was checking if opponent have any one go for it and nope, so I just went for a "pass", which ended up a bar down sick backboard bounce shot. I am anyone can be lucky right, including 45YO. :D

Hey the subs of Rocket League, I hope all of you have access to workshop maps if you are on console I am very sorry about that.

If you wonder how it can be done on EGS client, please see here from yours truly workshop god Lethamyr !! https://lethamyr.com/set-up-custom-maps

This post is for discussion what to do and see how many wants to do it. In the format like this:

• which workshop map we are doing the time attack. ie. most rings/ dribble challenge map have a timer.
• what format of submission(youtube video link, screenshots)
• rules, like say, have to fly backwards. Or every reset means +2 seconds on final time(cause some map if you manual reset you basically cancel momentum and thus can complete the map faster). any fun rules welcome.
• and prize, like rocket league credits, or maybe cosmetic stuff I I can give out. (since you can't trade the unopened drops, we can probably do a recording and then send the result to winner.) I have many that I can give away(want to save the eggs etc for my son though).

Yep, it's time making some comments and suggestions.

From description it seems customization is also very limited. And I don't think it really worth 2500c.

Create this post so people can follow and post with consistent format. You can still create your own LFG post with specific region, queue mode, rank requirements, etc. This is a thread to tell a bit about yourself, like when you started playing.

Format:

• Epic/Platform ID:
• How long you played rocket league:
• Which region/time zone you play from:
• You current/most used car body and why:
• A secret ritual you do to keep win streak going:
• Which map/workshop you currently play to practice and warm up and why? (include settings you use, ie. no unlimited boost, lower gravity with bakkesmod etc.)

Opponent was quite skilled and one of them can air dribble, flip reset well that's why toward end of game I have to play pretty aggressively to disrupt his setups. Good thing that my tm8 is also playing very good(much better than I did really if you see how accurate he passed the ball to my landing spot.) This win is a bit of lucky as I am fairly certain that if it goes into OT we would probably lose to some kick off setup and some fancy clip shot was gonna coming. So, GOOD JOB Hodgy, you have my thanks!
