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

I switch to get my bearings but use normal to hit the ball/rest of the time. At first I just stuck to normal cam but now I switch constantly.

Hmm, pie.

I'm in the same boat, really never use normal cam anymore and I think I'm better for it. Still getting used to do aerial stuff with ball cam though which can be difficult, but I never think to switch to normal cam in the heat of the moment.

I almost exclusively use the standard cam. I only use ballcam as a rear view mirror. I realize that you can be more competitive with it but I think I'm doing pretty well for myself without it. I also like to fly and I can tell you that it's definitely not the cam that makes me miss so many shots.

Before I start using more of the ball cam I'd probably quit the game altogether because it's just not fun anymore. ballcam is unnatural.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Not really. Twitch and Youtube are doing the job nicely for it, a slower burn but a success nonetheless. Why are you so determined to make out this game would not become super popular without PSN+. It's a great game, almost guaranteed to win many sports game GOTYs this years, and maybe some brave people will give it over all GOTY. What's going to give it competition? Splatoon and Bloodborne I think would be it's toughest competition. I don't think any of the crop coming later this year will amount to GOTY material, except maybe Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Anyway, back to Rocket League appreciation: 1vs3 ranked match, guess who wins? http://www.twitch.tv/ryir/v/7762352

Well that's true.

I'm not against the game at all, I just disaree with the OP that the game could ever be a system seller.

Also the GOTY awards will probably go mostly to Fallout and The Witcher 3.
