You can tell the people who have been playing the beta. I was matched up with a guy and he was insanely good.

Don't forget the transferable skills from SARBC. That game was more difficult and there was some real pros online.

Also, according to the Twitter account, matchmaking was sorted early this morning.

I'm yet to play online after trying the last 2 nights. Didn't work after the patch either.

Going by their twitter though, it looks like they're doing all they can to get everyone on which is good to see.

Having great craic with it but can only imagine multiplayer is much better. Hope it's working when I get home after work!

Played an online duel at my break earlier this morning. Found a match within a few seconds. Obviously the easiest type of match to find but everything looked solid in matchmaking.

Was going to post that. Who's up for winning some moolah?

Polly Sonic · 10-07-2015 3:35pm

I wish I could turn on this game and not be greeted by ‘Not logged in to Rocket League Servers' every single time.

Muirshin Durkin · 10-07-2015 5:29pm

how do you play online , are the serves down?

Soby · 10-07-2015 7:46pm

look to be

iamtony · 10-07-2015 7:53pm

Online now with no issues, blimey it's a fun game! I'm on as dangerdil7 if you want to join me, it was my sons account:-)

corcaigh07 · 10-07-2015 8:00pm

Considering it was going to be a little known PSN paid game and it has become the most popular PS+ title on PS4 so far, there was always going to be some issues with online gaming, especially considering how flaky PSN is.

When the servers are running, the game works very well. Not too many console games have dedicated servers.

J. Marston · 10-07-2015 9:14pm

Losing 5-0 and I was still having a laugh.

If it was Fifa, I'd be dangerously close to putting the controller through the TV.

WarZoneBrother · 10-07-2015 9:49pm

Kind of wish they added maps that actually make a difference in how you play... It seems every map is basically the same?...

I don't think the maps are different, they seem to all be the same just the behind the cages changes... There was multiple different maps on SSARPBC though...

RossieMan · 10-07-2015 10:51pm

Loved sarpbc, still played it up till lately. Played the beta which was solid. Great to see people getting behind the game. The learning curve is steep, but its worth it if you keep at it.

Very interested in having a few games with people of anyone's interested in the near future,still waiting on my wifi to be set up by the great service that is Vodafone.

craic_dealer · 11-07-2015 12:17am

I was in a few online matches there for the first time but kicked out again. Positive sign maybe.

Their latest tweet:

UPDATE, 3:58 PM PT - Stress Testing Continues. Matchmaking still slow, but currently 88,000 plus concurrents. Looks promising... #DontJinxIt

I'd say the reason for this is because they're setting the game up as an e-sport, so standardised pitches make sense.

I suppose but still doesn't mean you have 1 map, esports should require you to be goot at multiple maps therefore you don't have a clean advantage by just being so good at this map rather than having to play multiple maps...

Thats generally not what happens though. They just end up softbanning all the other stages and play on the same one over and over. Final destination, Training stage, etc. There is the odd exception here and there but generally thats what happens.

I suppose I shouldn't be comparing it to the likes of CS:GO then which is one of the only games I know from esports (and dota etc) :rolleyes:

craic_dealer · 11-07-2015 2:01am

Online seems to be working fine for me now. Except my stats from online, like goals scored, distance traveled etc. doesn't seem to be getting added

Ivefoundgod · 11-07-2015 2:46pm

Finally had a few online games, great craic. Got to play shredded loops in a dual as well. I'm crap and got well beaten but enjoyed it, would love to play with 5 or 6 from here with headsets, would be class.

Hopefully when the servers settle down we can organise a few games.

RossieMan · 11-07-2015 4:55pm

I'd be interested in running a boards tournament for this when the servers settle down.

Tomagotchye · 11-07-2015 5:16pm

Is there any difference in tyre or car type or is it all just cosmetic

That would be awesome. I'm currently destroying in 3v3 ranked matches. Would be cool to have some good, consistent team mates.

We set up a PS4 chat group for getting games together?

In any case, whoever I'm not friends with, add me PSN: Shreddedloops

Duel really doesn't bring out the best in this game. Good to know it works though!

Osmosis Jones · 11-07-2015 6:38pm

Had been looking forward to this game since the beta, I've put an unhealthy amount of hours into it already.

Would definitely be up for playing with some boardsies. PSN is IsMiseOzz

RossieMan · 11-07-2015 6:51pm

Will be on later and will add some of you, not posting my username which will become obvious when I add you.

sin0city · 11-07-2015 7:05pm

Great craic, add me if anyone wants to play co-op doubles or standard. Same on psn as here.

Slight differences in the way the car hits the ball.

I find the lower cars and the more pointy front end shaped cars have better control with the ball for shots and dribbling.

The more boxy shaped cars hit the ball a bit better and can bully others and block shots a little easier.

Not much between them though. They are all the same speed wise.

Icaras · 11-07-2015 8:12pm

playing too psn: superdigzi

RossieMan · 11-07-2015 9:10pm

When they sort out the lag, it'll be as good as the original.

tonydude · 11-07-2015 9:30pm

Add me guys, looking to form a team or just some matchs, psn phoniexknight

Call Me Jimmy · 12-07-2015 10:00pm

Got it there this evening, a couple hours online and I couldnt hit the ball for love nor money. Scored maybe 1 or 2 goals, it is satisfying but 99% of the time I was missing everything.

Do the tutorials, they'll give you an idea what to do. You'll get the hang of it through practice.

Ivefoundgod · 12-07-2015 10:33pm

It's not easy, I'm averaging a goal every other game online I'd say but it's tough. Some of the higher level players on YouTube are amazing.

RossieMan · 12-07-2015 10:37pm

Had a few games with a couple of boardsies yesterday, will be on during the week for a few more.

I was like that starting off, scoring plenty now that I've got the practice in. It's all about timing the jump and then the flip.

The part I struggle with is when the ball is dropping down from the sky and the camera focuses on it instead of the marker on the ground which would be a much better indicator, it's nigh on impossible to judge it right the way it is.

I'm on now but house minding and on a terrible eircom line so its a bit laggy for me!

This game is great fun!

BizzyC · 13-07-2015 8:47am

Played for a few hours, but too much of the same thing over and over to keep me interested.

Would be a lot more fun playing with mates than strangers online.
Nothing more iritating than watching an idiot teammate score own goals, or knocking you out of the way of your shot to knock the ball wide of the goal before you score.

RossieMan · 13-07-2015 8:53am

Its just they're so many new people. The old game had about 3-400 regular players so it was much more competitive. It'll calm down after a couple of weeks and then you'll really be able to see what can be done in the game, flying is a whole new level of skill and strategy.

thirtythirty · 13-07-2015 10:31am

Can you play split screen online, where there is only one PSN plus account on the playstation and the second (PSN, but not Plus) account can come online as a guest, or how does split screen online work?

Generic Dreadhead · 13-07-2015 10:33am

I am soooooo bad at this game :pac:

Wonda-Boy · 13-07-2015 8:58pm

Looking to have some craic online aswell lads, very average at the game but the laugh makes up for my lack of skillz

PSN: wonda3oy

cherryghost · 13-07-2015 9:23pm

Next big patch will supposedly add cross platform parties available so maybe then wonda. Just like BF3 days :P

Call Me Jimmy · 13-07-2015 11:05pm

Anyone on pc playing? Servers seemed to be down a bit today but I improved since yesterday. Although this game makes ye look like a plonker all the time so ye never get too confident

Professional Griefer · 14-07-2015 2:50am

I havent had as much playing a game in a long time. RL is amazing!

Anyone got any tips for aerials? Nearly always miss the ball
