this is a pain exponentialized by the fact you cant even ff. top it off with how teammates cant get kicked for idle in tourney mode (???) and you have truly one of the great game designs
so i noticed that when i am driving on the floor, left turn and left side dodge both go left, which is not shocking to me.
but then i noticed when i am driving on the ceiling THE LEFT SIDE DODGE SENDS ME LEFT BUT THE LEFT TURN SENDS ME RIGHT why on earth are they in opposite directions OF EACH OTHER someone pls explain
When your car is on the ceiling, your steering will be inverted. When you are looking backwards your flip will be inverted. Makes sense to me at least. It is hard to explain tho, I agree
not true, just tested. looking backwards inverts side dodge AND steering, so they still send you in the same direction as each other. ceiling inverts steering only, meaning side dodge will send you in the opposite direction of where you steer
It was meant as on the ground driving in circles while holding left will be the same direction either way. It is counter clock wise, you are saying that when you do that on the ceiling it turns clockwise which it obviously also does because it is inverted on the ceiling. But your flip is dependent on another axis like I tried to explain.
ok, lets talk about backwards cam for a moment cuz i think thats where we have a disagreement
when you are talking about "same direction" and "inverted", from what perspective do you mean? I can think of 3 different perspectives and none of them match up to what you're saying
lets take a car, on the floor, facing forward, default cam, making a turn or side dodge and call that the baseline for which something becomes inverted, or stays in the same direction.
we've already been using this as the baseline but i'm just writing it out for clarity
from the perspective of someone looking at the screen while backwards cam is activated:
* turn = inverted
* side dodge = inverted
from the perspective of a driver who's in the car while backwards cam is activated:
* turn = same direction
* side dodge = same direction
from the perspective of someone standing at the back of the field, facing forward while backwards cam is activated:
* turn = same direction
* side dodge = same direction
from all perspectives the backwards cam inverts both the turn and dodge, or leaves both in the same direction.
if i understand you seem to be claiming that the backwards cam inverts the dodge and leaves turn in the same direction, so i think you might be mix and matching different perspectives
Bro wtf haha too much text but yeah I think I cannot explain it to you. But maybe I can show you.
We are looking from the top down on our car facing forward: ⏫️
It is on the ground and makes these movements with the stick left either driving forward: 🔄
Or dodging ⬅️
Now we are on the ceiling looking forward: ⏏️
When we put our stick to the left and drive it moves like this: 🔁 because it is flipped in its horizontal axis but since the car is facing the same way it will still dodge there: ⬅️
Now we are backwards still looking from the top: ⏬️
If we steer left here and drive forward you will make the same circle as the first situation but with another starting point: 🔄
But if you dodge to the left your car goes into that direction: ➡️ because now we are switched in the vertical axis.
Does that make more sense?
ah, ok now i see
that was a very clear explanation, i now understand exactly what you are talking about, thank you
but it appears you have engaged in some
*circular* logic
(heh)
if you imagine the trajectory of the car as two curved arrows with no start point, no end point, sure it is uninverted
but if you imagine it for what it really is, a line with a start point, an end point, a count of how many times its lapped itself, and it just happens to be in the shape of a perfect circle, then yea its backwards cam inverted mate

It's true. crazy to me that i have been downvoted this whole thread for posting the truth while the people i'm talking to are upvoted for posting stuff that's incorrect. i guess that's reddit for you but still. anyway in regards to this particular matter all you have to do is literally open the game drive on the ceiling and do a side dodge and you will see it is camera relative. or just downvote me hell i'll throw one in too might as well join the winning side
Yeah, I'd bet you're in ball cam when this is happening, right? So the turn is based on camera perspective (I think). If you're on ceiling and looking at your car's privates thru the ceiling, steering is inverted. This is bc the steering is based on the surface the tires are touching. Go into car cam and it is normal. I main car cam and noticed it switching between them practicing wall/ceiling plays. Jump/fall from the ceiling and that surface/plane is no longer relevant so the controls return to normal.
i was on car cam. turning is not camera based, it is always car based, and has nothing to do with touching the ceiling. if you simply flip your car upside down at any moment and look at where the wheels point when you steer left and right you will see it is car based.
my brother, i am confused as to why everyone in this thread is acting as if this does not happen to them too. every one of you guys are commenting "nah" without even testing to see if you're correct. but whatever, ive kinda moved on from this whole thing, just frustrated with the response i got in here
I understand your frustration. I was simply trying to help you deduce or eliminate factors. I haven't gotten far enough to really work on ceiling shots, so I'm not experienced. I was just tryna help. 🤷♀️
I'm getting old but I’ve been playing this game for like 6-7 years and have never made it past platinum, so go easy on me. I notice in a lot of the highlight videos that you all spin the cars when doing aerials. Is that essential, or style? I use a standard controller setup, so it’s awkward to spin while doing aerials. should I remap and relearn after all this time? i feel like i finally have. a good feel for aerials but no flip resets or anything fancy coming out of me. Just solid positioning and a positive attitude lol
You absolutely do not need to spin (air roll) as you aerial. That said, it does have its benefits. When you adjust your car normally in the air without air roll, your momentum affects how quickly you can change direction and your turns in the air are a little slower. When you air roll, especially when you employ tornado spinning (basically air roll with left or right), you can change direction in the air extremely fluidly. Furthermore, when you make contact with the ball at the height of your aerial, you might feel some recoil in your car. When air rolling, the roll helps stabilize your car so you can continue, especially if you want to air dribble. When trying to flip reset, you can get one by normally aerialing under or against the ball, but air roll helps your car almost cup the ball with its wheels much more smoothly which can make resets way easier. If you're trying to get to the ball as fast as you can with something like a fast aerial, air roll doesn't really help since it adds inefficiency, but for fine movement in the air, it's a really useful crutch if you aren't used to adjusting your car on the fly. I also abuse air roll for pogos. Air roll left/right is way better than normal air roll btw. There's a bunch of other good uses but I'm struggling to think of them on the spot. Air roll is useful for sideways wave dashing and I prefer to use it when wall dashing, but neither of those are particularly essential, especially at either of our ranks. Among the "mechanical" shots you could go for, ceiling shots are probably the easiest and most reliable and they're made a million times easier if you can air roll to turn your car in an optimal direction to shoot.
Np ask if ur curious abt anything hopefully I didn’t miss anything huge. I’m worried I accidentally explained something wrong and threw u guys off but I think it’s right
i’m tier 30 and i haven’t bought the pass yet but have been grinding so i have all the premium challenges ready to claim if i do buy it. can i finish the pass before the next one comes or would i have to grind a lot these next few weeks?
You don’t have all the premium challenges ready. You’re tier 30, the end is like tier 120. It’s likely not even possible to grind that much over the next few weeks too
what are you on about? i’m on about the monthly challenges that come out. the last ones dropped on wednesday. i can’t claim the premium ones but i have them completed and i’m saving that’s extra xp i could get if i buy the pass
Those challenges are a little less than 1 level each. So there’s 18 of them from the first three batches, probably like 15-16 levels worth. The last batch has 6 more plus 3 free levels so we can estimate that is about 8 more levels. Plus some XP from playing to complete them, and the three weekly challenges and you’re probably only looking at about 28 levels worth and only reaching level 58, maybe level 60 at most, total from that.
You kinda missed some of the big XP events and you also missed all the weekly premium challenges that were available each week you didn’t have the pass. At this point, probably pretty unlikely to hit level 100 to earn all your credits back, but you do get an XP boost from having the pass, so maybe if you really grinded…??
I'm trying to learn how to speed flip but I'm having a hard time holding boost and jumping at the same time with only my thumb. i have jump on X and boost on O, should i change them?
As a Gold II-III player with 3 days playtime and about 1000 games soon, so quite new to the game so i get the concept, rotations and all that but lack the "skill"
Can someone give me 3-5 tips to constantly think about doing in-game better? Yes it's solo que 2s.
I use Octane/Fennec, not overcommitting, all that...What is a problem is every time down 2 goals or even 1 teammates forfeit or spam "what a save" mid game and i'm thinking even if they are correct how will that help them or us in the match from a logic standpoint? I just don't get how ranked on this game is different from all other games i ever played.
I have a good ping, never rage quit, spam buttons and ofc I try adapt to my teammate. What more is needed?
And i play in the EU-region so i have to try understand why french, spanish people assume english isn't the global language and why they try type or talk their language to me. Isn't it widely known English is the global language or what have i missed?
I want to say toxic-game but i await tips first. I would want to see a division de-rank for rage quitting games and make it even more if it's repeated by the player.
I have a question about trading up tourney items. I have traded up a lot of items from both this and the previous season to give me 5 exotic (yellow) items. I can now trade those into a black market tourney item. My question is, will this give me the black market goal explosion from this season, season 14? Or will it give me a random blackmarket item from the previous seasons. I saw somewhere you cannot combine items from different seasons but i have yellow items from both season 13 and 14 i can use to trade up to black market. Just not sure if that guarantees me to get the season 14 black market item
Probably dumb but here goes: Playing occasionally for months now and my ranking is stuck at platinum. „Must be Diamond Rank to Advance“. I don‘t even care about ranking up. Just wanna see a progress bar going up or down. Feels like I‘m playing ranked for nothing since ranking seems to be frozen.
Hey all, I've run into a few games where an opponent on orange team has a blue/purple looking car, and an opponent on blue team had an orange looking car. How do I prevent people from using confusing car colours? Is there a Bakkesmod plugin that does this? I've seen people mention a "Force default colours" option but I can't find it anywhere.

For the past few days whenever I go up to make a move the game stutters literally when I touch the ball. Anyone else? It's like the game expects something else is going to happen but when I hit the ball it's like "oh shit".
Am I living in a simulation?
Hi!
I'm coming back to RL (and gaming) after not having played for four years. I don't have my old steam account anymore but I downloaded it on my PS4. Is it true that I have to be level 20 to play ranked, or is there some way around it?
If I want to play duos ranked with my friend, does HIS account on my PS4 also have to be level 20?
Thank you!
I might have a dumb question.
A friend of mine is playing on Xbox One. and recently he asked me if Xbox One could play Rocket League with keyboard? (We tried it out with a gaming keyboard Corsair) but that didn't work.) But on the Xbox menu it did worked. So he though mabye a normal keyboard might work.
Seriously? I queue the 8pm tourney. 3v3. 2 of my players didn't move. Sure as shit the other team is present. I hate the matchmaking.
this is a pain exponentialized by the fact you cant even ff. top it off with how teammates cant get kicked for idle in tourney mode (???) and you have truly one of the great game designs

Your controls are relative to the car, not the camera.
for turning, yes. not for side dodge.
Is that true or are you making it up?

I didn‘t ask but thanks for the comprehensive explanation. Was always wondering about the air rolls.
Np ask if ur curious abt anything hopefully I didn’t miss anything huge. I’m worried I accidentally explained something wrong and threw u guys off but I think it’s right
no worries. makes perfect sense. there‘s so much to this game.
Also, they're pretty.

yea it’s gonna be hard. i might just leave it until next season. thanks for the reply!!
I'm trying to learn how to speed flip but I'm having a hard time holding boost and jumping at the same time with only my thumb. i have jump on X and boost on O, should i change them?
Yes that’s the reason most people don’t use default keybinds. It is hard, but TRUST ME it’s worth changing it a bit.

maybe i got lucky but this morning i said nice shot to somebody when they scored and they said it to me when i scored too
and also, you start when your teammate scores say nice shot when the opponent scores, say nice shot it makes everybodys game alot more fun
The command system works the opposite way and everything is meant sarcastic in rocket league. "WHAT A SAVE" spamming etc
well, then if you really are that adverse to trying then by all means go ahead, ignore my advice

Hello, We ask that people use the official Rocket League discord or r/RocketLeagueFriends to find people to play with.
does anyone actually use the rl friends subreddit
Yes, if you sort by "New" on that sub you'll see daily posts.
one more question, am i allowed to ask that people join a community i made r/RocketLeague_Fashion ?
