I’m gold and I just hit my best goal ever as you can see quality is bad because I recorded on phone but do I deserve plat

I understand that the default speed limit without mutators is 216 kph as a precaution to prevent bugs from happening. But as someone who's played this game a lot and has pretty much mastered the ground pinch mechanic, I believe this speed limit can be considered quite low.

Here are my arguments:

Pinches in Rocket League have always been a niche mechanic, but they've always been really popular among the people who actually do them. And as time went on, records kept getting broken until we eventually reached the point where we hit the highest possible ground pinch world record, 216 kph, around 3 years ago.

As time went on, people discovered that you could increase the maximum ball speed using BakkesMod, just to see if raising the speed cap would make it possible to hit pinches faster than 216 kph. And it turned out to be possible. In fact, the fastest solo ground pinch ever hit is currently 221 kph, achieved by Finn and Stijn (using the regular ground pinch setup). And with the "CPtoGP" setup (Ceiling Pinch to Ground Pinch), the record is 230 kph, set by Nixus Dragon.

And that's not even mentioning team pinches, which push those numbers even higher. World records for double and triple ground pinches in private matches go beyond 250 kph. In fact, the fastest pinch ever hit without using any mutators (other than increasing the maximum ball speed, obviously) was 388 kph. But I don't think that's necessarily the speed cap I'm proposing. It could be a bit lower, since that particular pinch required 7 people.

A ball traveling at 540 kph could definitely be a problem in other game modes because of the glitch where the ball goes through walls. However, based on my years of experience using mutators and many other methods to increase ball speed, I genuinely believe that raising the speed cap to around 300 kph wouldn't be an issue.

The problems:

The current in-game solo ground pinch world record is 216 kph, set by Ax. He's hit pinches that would've gone over 216 kph thousands of times. And he's just one example out of more than 500 ground pinchers who have managed to hit pinches above 216 kph.

The thing is, this is also a problem on consoles. In training, there's no way to increase the maximum ball speed to reach higher speeds because BakkesMod isn't available. This holds back a lot of insanely skilled players who simply can't hit pinches faster than 216 kph because of the speed cap.

Even in actual matches, there have definitely been plenty of goals that would've been faster than 216 kph if the speed cap didn't exist. This ends up preventing new world records from being broken and creates an unnecessarily low ceiling, especially considering that it's humanly possible to make the ball reach higher speeds without using any in-game mutators and without causing any performance issues.

There are several Discord servers with over 400 members who play Rocket League mainly to hit pinches. And every single one of them faces the exact same problem. Their solution is always the same: either use BakkesMod or just accept that they'll never be able to hit a pinch faster than 216 kph, whether in training or in an actual match.

The proposal:

Increase the game's maximum ball speed from 216 kph to somewhere around 250–350 kph. Ideally, 350 kph would be perfect, but even raising it to 300 or 250–270 kph would still be a great improvement.

Besides not causing any performance issues, this would give players the opportunity to score faster goals, spend more time playing the game, and set new world records with the increased speed cap.

Hello guys, just wondering if I am genuinely playing the best I've ever played or if they made ranking up easier?

I improved mechanically and gamesense wise, but really the biggest factor in my opinion is the mental game: not getting tilted and also being a supportive team mate (quick chatting nice shot, great pass ect)

Corner good

I’ve had the game downloaded for ever . And have kept up through the years . What is the few most rare cars to have in the game ? Curious about other categories as well ( wheels,boost, etc…)

I see it on Instagram with other cool prototypes, is a nice looking hatchback

I know in this sub its not allowed to look for team mates my question now is where do i find team mates because solo q is killing me

I last played regularly ~S10. I was consistently C1-3 across the standard modes + hoops.

I am back now and putting in some time, and I’ve landed in D1-3 across the standard modes + hoops.

It’s clear that I’ve lost some skill and that the average level of play has gone up, but this is beyond that.

I’m seeing so many GC tags / GC tournament winner titles in Diamond lobbies. So many games where one person is carrying, on my team or the opponents, way above the lobbies skill level. I can consistently flick, air dribble, place shots, etc., but these people are hitting multiple reset doubles every possession.

What is even happening in champ and GC if the GC tourney winners are this ubiquitous in Diamond hoops?

I really don’t care about rank. The icons don’t mean much to me. I just care about consistent matchmaking, and I have had maybe 10 close games out of the ~150 I’ve played so far. It’s a stomp one direction or the other almost every time, and I don’t remember it being this way before.

It might just be sampling bias, but I was wondering if anyone had insight or information.

I’ve recently switched from playing on PC to my PS5. I was actually kinda surprised that I was still able to play using the same stats from my PC Epic account, but I noticed all my replays are gone. Is there no way to access these replays on my console?

I would’ve thought that because the accounts are linked the replays would’ve been too, but I’m also incredibly stupid when it comes to technology so, I’ve got no idea how it works haha 🤷🏽‍♂️

Also, it’s the same vice versa? I’ve saved replays on my console. Will these ones not show if I were to log into RL on a PC? The name that shows in game changed to my PSN name, but everything else seems the same.

Just wanted to throw something in here for those of you having an off day. Coming into today I was having an awful one. Had lost 100 MMR in 2s over the previous 2 days. It felt like no matter what I couldn't win. So I almost didn't open ranked.

But I did it. Warmed up. Mentally prepared to get hammered. And it started with a loss. So already not great.

I then won 11 in a row. Now I'm at my peak rating ever, off two terrible days.

Sometimes you'll try everything and nothing works. Sometimes you'll have insane days like mine where everything clicks. Just don't give up. Keep at it. And maybe take a break.

And for those who fall off their peaks, the same player who reached that milestone is still there.

Now, go score some goals in

Hi folks.

10 years.

10 years to laugh, rage and live this shit.

And finally hit champ.

After training, listening brothers advices.

And finally here.

Thanks for all people who's given me elo, and all's people who took me some.

❤️

I know it can be slow and give you little space, but at the pro level, the game is so much more unpredictable and creative, in terms of what has to happen just for the ball to go in the net due to how impenetrable defenses are nowadays, and i feel like the lix jump would be insanely useful, especially in 3s where its almost impossible at the speed they play to predict if someone actually got a lix jump or not. Imagine the prejumps with it

Have you ever seen anything like that?

1. I don't know if it's a discovery or an invention, so please don't eat me for it (let's just call it an invention for now).
2. I don't even know if it's flick or what.
3. I'm gold and I don't have very good ball control so in hands of some pro it would be much better.
4. It is very versatile because you can do anything with it. Ihave more clips but these are the best ones.
5. I call it the "helicopter", but if anyone knows its real name, you can drop it in the comments.

I have way more "hours played" on my steam profile than actual ingame time because I used to just sit in main menu looking for trades, but the past month or so i've been actually trying to improve and it just feels so bad.

My rankings are trending upwards but I don't feel like I've actually improved at all. I have pretty good positioning but I can't aerial for the life of me. In both 1s and 2s I only win when my opponents mess up their fancy reset double taps or airdribbles and I carry it to their open net.

It feels like none of my gameplay is actually training towards improvement and I'm only winning games because people are trying to hit clips.

I've played for a while and I'm not bad but ive just never done any type of aerial or dribble but I've hit a wall and can't advance in competitive and I can't get the hang of it. What should I do?

I started playing a few weeks ago, and watching pro players already blew my mind, but I was watching another video on 2x and clicked a rocket league video... my head spins now

Hi, I was wondering what on earth is going on with my RL and to see if anyone has experience this issue recently.

After around 5 mins of gameplay my game becomes unplayable and I can't figure out why. The game freeze for several seconds (5-20 secs) and I get major ping spikes and when the game comes back to life for a brief moment it shows the latency variation icon, I have monitored my system usage on another monitor while I play and see my GPU and CPU drop to <10% usage for the game.

I have updated my windows, verified my game files and even reinstalled the game. I've closed any tasks that could be interfering but this hasn't been a problem before (I've played nearly daily now for a few months) I have also changed my FPS to be capped at 240 as well as changing input buffer to STS

Relevant system specs:

Ryzen 7-9800 X3D

5090 FE (updated to most recent drivers)

32Gb of DDR5 ram

Windows 11, version 26H2

Rocket league (Steam version)

Gigabyte internet with PC being connected by Ethernet cable direct to the router

Dualsense edge controller

I have no issues with any other games or applications, seems to be only isolated to RL.

Does anyone have any have any ideas for solutions or have encountered this before? I never had an issue with the game before today and nothing has changed on my PC recently.

Read somewhere that FIFAe Finals got postponed. This is the 2nd major esports event that got postponed in Saudi this year.

So many eFootball and Rocket League teams prepared for so long. What do y'all think?

RULE 8?

Dose anyone else have the same issue with the switch?
