Just like real soccer/football/ball-kicking, Rocket League is the kind of game where a decent gain in points scored can quickly be reversed into a rear-naked chokehold that is followed by a trip to Suplex City. I’m not good at sports, but what I’m saying is that you can lose very quickly in that game.
Like those poor bastards I played against last night in Rocket League who went down 7-2. Blue team never knew what hit them. I just wish my car colour wasn’t blue that night so that I could fit in with the orange team and oh craaaaaaap.
Moving on from glaring own-goals, Rocket League also suffers from one other phenomenon that is sort of unique to soccer: Rage-quitting.
And while trying to get an Oscar nomination by hitting the pitch with a performance worthy of an Academy Award nomination isn’t an option in Rocket League, hitting the pause menu and straight-out quitting certainly is. And that’s something that needs to stop.
Developer Psyonix has a new update for the game out, that’ll penalise players who do just that:
The first player to abandon a “Ranked’ match is now banned from matchmaking for 15 minutes
Other main event patch notes include:
- “Quick Chat” commands can now be used cross-platform between PC and PS4
- Stat tracking for online games is now properly recorded for its correlating Garage items
- AI Bot skill levels now adjust to the average skill level of all players currently in the game
- (PS4) “Far, Far Away” Trophy can now be unlocked via online play
- (Steam) “Virtuoso” Achievement is now obtainable and includes appropriate description
- Fixed multiple crash scenarios
That’ll teach the sore losers. There’s a ton more through the original link, as the game is getting plenty of bug fixes, user interface enhancements and unlimited rocket boost within the training mode. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ROCKET LEAGUE!

I guess it doesn’t matter if you get loadshedded. Your power will be off for 2+ hours anyway so 15 mins wont affect you at all, but the poor fools in your team. Well I feel sorry for them.
A bit off topic but I’ve read that DDDOOOOMMMMM won’t have mod support except for the snapmap thingy where you can build levels. What’s up with all the Mod hate now.

You know what would make this game perfect? Michael Bay-level explosions every time one car barely touches another, and then two seconds later everything is fine. Kinda like real soccer.

We play ranked 2 v 2 almost every night now and I’m really happy to say that since the patch hit we have had almost zero issues with lag rubber-banding and so on, which is amazing as it was really becoming an issue.
Also, these rage quitters don’t realise how much the non-quitting is going to lead to super epic comebacks. This is actually going to make their experience better. We have had some huge turnaround games where we are 3-0 on a team like 1 minute in (usually that gets a ragequit) and by the end of the game there is a MASSIVE battle because they have caught up and we are fighting.
Good stuff! I’ve actually started recording a bunch of stuff to hopefully make a bit of a montage!

The game is pretty perfect, with one exception…
The bots/AI need to be tweaked to not “run the ball all the way into their own goal when trying to get ahead of the ball”…

Most of these servers are different, lag wise. Sometimes you play smoothly and other matches you are rubberbanding all over the place. So quitting when you get one of the “bad” servers is gonna happen a lot, obviously just because its unplayable and in this game precision plays a big part.
