If you can fly with an 80% plus hit rate you have a massive advantage over people who don't do aerials.

A big issue I have with aerials is that I don't like ball cam, I end up orbiting the ball alot instead of hitting it because of perspective. Hitting it while flying? That's impressive. I'm never into games that much though to work out things like this. I'm here to have fun with my mates.

I'm switching to ball cam. It takes getting used to but it's really the best even for straight ground work.

do you guys only use 1 cam type for the whole game? I'm switching cams alot during a match based on what I need to pay attention to

The pros use ball cam pretty much all the time except when they are collecting boost and having to drive away from the ball to make sure they get that boost with maximum driving efficiency. At least that's what I've observed. The genius pro's probably don't even switch off ball cam for that. I've seen some very skilled people play with normal cam, but when it comes to clutch games ball cam gives you a level of precision with ball position knowledge that normal cam can bever provide, therefore in the tight contests the guy using ball cam will win most of the time.

I don't plan to ever get into serious competition with this game, but I can see ball cam is the best way to play the game if you can become competent at it. I may end up never developing the spatial orientation competency to use ball cam to a competent degree, which would mean switching back to normal cam. But I will never give myself the chance to become competent using ball cam unless I go all in with it. right now I can't even score 10 goals in a 1v1 match up vs rookie AI using ball cam, so I have a long way to go to regard myself as minimally competent with ball cam.

The OST is pretty much free on Soundcloud. Have been listening to it months before release to get into the mood.

700K players online last night. Less than a week ago it was only 100K players at about the same time. And when I say last night I mean Wednesday ~10PM New Zealand time, which means most people in the USA are asleep and Europe has mostly just woken up.

it was on the rocketleague twitter

Played =/= downloaded. 3 2 people in my home have played it.

looks like in this context "played" was pretty much = "downloaded", as they are at 4million downloads now:

PS+ month is nearly over, it will definitely leave it but the real buzz about it is only just starting, they are going to get loads of sales soon.

I just got my all items trophy, anyone know when the 500km trophy will be patched so I actually know what I've done?



Hmm, pie.

They were tweeting about an incoming patch that will fix a lot of issues, and will make the mileage count in online games as well.

So it's not been counting at all? I thought it was just glitched display/tracking as many people claim they got the trophy around 60-70km. If it's a case of it's not been tracking at all then well... my 20km from season play won't go far. :P
