Since Rocket League went free-to-play in 2020, we’ve seen a lot of ups and downs. From the tragedy called – Season 3 to the glorious – Season 2, there’s been a lot of love, but also a lot of hate. One of the biggest disappointments of the transition and Epic Games’ takeover of the game is the intense focus on ridiculous cosmetics. These literally add nothing to the game, but are only there to fill the coffers of Psyonix and Epic Games through our transactions in the item store. Enough babbling, let’s take a look at the last five – Season s in the official EarlyGame Ranking!
5. Rocket League – Season 3
Rocket League – Season 3 was such an absolute bummer that we even made a video about it, explaining why Rocket League – Season 3 was an absolute disgrace. The Tyranno was the most bland, boring vehicle ever, and the sports car theme was completely screwed up by a bunch of overpriced DLC. Rocket Pass was terrible, as was everything about – Season 3 really. | © Psyonix
4. Rocket League – Season 5
The latest – Season of Rocket League (at the time of writing) is an absolute snorefest. There’s basically nothing to get excited about, with a boring arena (though not quite as bad as – Season 3’s crimes) and a vehicle that has almost nothing to offer. Still, it’s not quite as bad as – Season 3 and has a pretty nice Rocket Pass. | © Psyonix
3. Rocket League – Season 1
The – Season that kicked off free-to-play Rocket League featured a relatively solid selection of items in Rocket Pass and a pretty cool theme…. Legacy! F2P – Season 1 celebrated the history and legacy of Rocket League. It was a lot of fun, even if the Harbinger was a somewhat disappointing car. It was inspired by Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, the original from Rocket League, but failed to completely win us over. Still, – Season 1 was pretty solid. | © Psyonix
2. Rocket League – Season 4
Free-to-play – Season 4 of Rocket League introduced us to a fantastic, atmospheric Western theme. The Outlaw was a great car that we had a ton of fun with, and some of the stickers and roof attachments that came with Rocket Pass were absolutely killer. Sure, there wasn’t anything too exciting here now, but after the disgust we felt for – Season 3, it was a wonderful surprise. | © Psyonix
1. Rocket League – Season 2
– Season 2 of free-to-play Rocket League saw the introduction of the R3MX body. What more could you ask for? With a fantastic new arena (Neon Fields) and a jam-packed Rocket Pass, there was little to complain about in – Season 2, and we so wish that this quality would return in the next – Season s. We keep our fingers crossed, because F2P – Season 2 was awesome! | © Psyonix
Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies
Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.
Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.
Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.
Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.
The Rocket League ABC
In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.
50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.
Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.
Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.
Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.
Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.
Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.
Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.
Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.
ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.
Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
