Rocket League

Perhaps one of the biggest initial draws of the switch for me was the potential for this game to be released as a portable version. Then it was finally announced. Tomorrow it will actually be here.

Sadly the community of this game has grown heavily toxic overtime. Still it is a very fun game that I'm really looking forward to playing in portable mode.

Yep lookin forward to it, looked jealously at other consoles with this, delighted switch gets to host it now

blockfighter · 14-11-2017 12:05am

And there goes the last reason I had for turning on my Xbox One. Can't wait for this. Despite already owning it.

Hold off for black Friday/cyber Monday and you'll almost certainly get one at a lower price

I've not played this in a while so I picked it up. Online isn't working for me though, but I don't think it's an issue with the RL servers, but rather my modem.

My eShop works fine, and I've played MK8 online so I didn't there was an issue. However, when I connect to my wireless network, my initial connect is good, but when I go to Test Connection, it fails. Both Doom and Rocket League failed to connect to MP. Has anyone with eir Fibre had a similar issue and resolved it?

It looks and plays like rocket league so far which is good, but man does it look rough in handheld mode. Like seriously bad.

Some arenas while docked look poor but undocked brings it to a whole new level.

blockfighter · 14-11-2017 11:35pm

Just played a few games on the big screen. Looks and feels like Rocket League. Sweet!
Gonna test out handheld tomorrow.

geotrig · 15-11-2017 9:18am

picked this up also , i took forever to dl , looks good plays good and im **** at it !

I agree that some areana look **** while you are waiting for the game to start , no rendered properly ? but once up and running it looks better, clears up and seems fine.
played both handheld and big screen and both run well

I dreamt about playing this game on a handheld for so long... Then I snapped up and bought a switch a week or 2 ago.. I love my ps4 but damn the switch is so amazing and I have been playing Rocket League on my bus journeys online...

Some dreams do come true after all..

I own this game on PC Ps4 and now Switch... Worth every penny.. I bought off South Africa store for 16euro.. Good to see there's already a fair amount of switch owners about too..

How anyone can be against cross platform play is beyond me. Launch day on Switch and there's a pool of 60k people to play against right off the bat. Makes buying a multiplayer game on Switch a much easier decision.

Ok having played rocket league for a bit all i can say is, it is sooooo much fun, i havent felt this giddy since the splatoon on the wii u, i am in love

baldshin · 17-11-2017 11:30am

Always been a massive fan and delighted it's on the Switch and with the way it runs both docked and handheld. My only gripe is that it's too easy playing offline, and I don't often have access to online play!

chrislad · 20-11-2017 10:34am

I do have a small gripe with the appearance of the game in handheld. Some of the arena textures are shockingly poor, especially Wasteland. It's borderline PSOne/Two quality. Yes, the frame rate is excellent across both modes, and it never skips a beat, but I'm disappointed it looks so poorly. I know they said they're going to optimise it, and I know NBA Playgrounds got an overhaul too. It does raise slight concerns about either the difficultly of making handheld mode run well and look well, but it could also be devs rushing to get a game out and taking the hit later.

blockfighter · 20-11-2017 11:02am

Finally got around to playing in handheld mode last night. For me it was great. The screen being the size it is hides any graphical limitations well. And the gameplay is just as good as big screen.
Have a few friends who never played rocket league before and they are loving it too.

Currently watching a Jstn vs Ganer air dribble contest with the middle son who’s addicted to the game. Want to put some time into playing it rather than watching but AC keeps sidetracking me.

So impressed watching the pro’s play this.

Been playin for a bit over a year and I'd say I'm still average at best.
I usually hover in and around high golds-low platinums in 3v3, but not so great at 2v2 or solo.
Highest ranking is currently Rumble at Platinum III.
Currently not online on my own account, so not really at liberty to drop my friend code publicly, but should any of you spot me feel free to give me a shout or party up or whatever :pac:

Thanks. What I meant though is that I'm not really a good technical player. Can't do any of the fancy stuff like air dribbling/flip resets. I'm pretty inconsistent and make a balls of things regularly.

There's a certain element of luck to ranking up to be fair. The odd time you'll team up with people you gel with and win multiple games on the bounce.

More often than not, you're stuck with angry chat spammers and people who leave as soon as you make a single mistake or an easy win is off the cards.

You should probably stay away from me so. My tactic at the moment is to hit the ball as hard as I can.

Trying to get more tactically aware.

Mostl cross playing with mates on the PS4, convinced the switch is a disadvantage (or least that's what I tell myself).

Beauty of it is you don't really need to be good to enjoy it

Vincent Vega · 15-09-2020 11:35pm

So for better or for worse it's come to this... :pac:

Rocket League Free To Play goes live cross platform from next Wednesday.

If anybody wants to play in the meantime, or when the above happens, my Rocketid is

So I downloaded this on Switch. Great craic... Downloaded on xbox live also... both Nintendo and xbox live set up with same email address,

I logged into the epic games account on the laptop and it says the xbox account is linked. I tried linking the Switch account and it's saying "this nintendo account has been linked to another epic games account".

I played on switch first so Im not sure if it set up some epic account on its own but I had no epic games account before today.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Is it possible to Play split screen local 2 players ? Sorry if that’s a stupid question. We had it for the Xbox and it was
The young lad got a switch and we tried and couldn’t figure it out !
He doesn’t have online pass if that makes a difference
