CHANGES AND UPDATES
Competitive Season 12

• Competitive Season 12 begins
• Season 12 brings a "soft reset" that requires you to do placement matches in each playlist to recalibrate your Rank
• Winning half of your placement matches will land you near your previous season ranking
• League Rankings will be temporarily empty until players complete their placement matches
• All placement match wins count towards your Bronze Season Reward Level progress

Certified and Painted Items

• Customization Items now display the full Paint color name inside the thumbnail (when applicable)
  • This replaces the thin colored outline in the upper-right corner of the thumbnail
• When a Customization Item is both Painted and Certified, the Paint color and Certification labels rotate at regular, two-second intervals

New In-Game Stats

• 'High-Five'
  • A 'High-Five' registers after a goal is scored by your team, and when you bump into a teammate above the goal
• 'Low-Five'
  • A 'Low-Five' can only be done after a goal is scored by your team, and when you bump into a teammate at field level
• 'Swish Goal'
  • A 'Swish Goal' registers when your goal does not touch the rim before going into the hoop
  • Swish Goals are only available when playing the Hoops game mode

Audio

• The game's audio mix has been updated, including audio priority rebalancing, HDR audio, and object elevation

BUG FIXES

• Fixed the color on the post-match XP bar for Rocket Pass Premium owners
• Shields on 'Double Goal' and 'Underpass' Arenas now display the appropriate color
• [Xbox One] Fixed a bug with the 'Slash Beam III' Rocket Boost causing frame rate dips
• [Nintendo Switch] Fixed a bug causing supersonic ball audio to play when pushing the ball at subsonic speeds in Training
• Adjusted Paint Finish so it no longer affects appearance of body trim on the 'Werewolf' Battle-Car

I switched over to PC mid-way through this competitive season so even though I played some ranked on the new platform, I didn't get all the way up to Champion like I was on Xbox so I'll just have to deal with the Diamond trail. I'll miss my old boosts from previous seasons though.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Wish they'd do a hard reset. It's been a long time.

 

[liquidmetal14]

HDR audio you say? My Infinity 5.1 setup will be pleased.

 

[CountAntonio]

patch is out.

All that practice is finally paying off

 

[TheKeyPit]

Interested in that HDR audio.

 

[Complicated]

I was at like level 320 on Rocket Pass 3 or something stupid. Ready for some new stuff.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

My body is ready for that next Rocket Pass

 

[Umbrella Carp]

Only got the bronze season reward even though I was Platinum in 3v3. Welp, that's the last time I bother with competitive I guess.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

Not the most spectacular set of changes per se, but plenty of good QoL stuff. Painted items in particular are a lot easier to sort now, albeit I still hope they'll eventually have 1 slot for a type of item, in which you can then select the painted variant or the certified tag with a drop-down menu. Sucks to have 30 versions of the same wheels from the pass take up as many spaces.

 

[liquidmetal14]

Can tell the difference in the audio on PC. Sounds more sharp and more pronounced.

 

[AllMight1]

Anyone knows how to turn off that beeping sound when toggling the camera? It wasnt in the game before and could drive someone crazy.

 

[Mike Works]

Some of the rewards of this past Rocket Pass fucking sucked. Looking at you, most wheels. Legit couldn't tell the difference between certain painted items.

 

[Jakenbakin]

I liked my wheels alright because I got some sweet holographic ones that match my Endo nicely.

I didn't realize the new season wouldn't start until tomorrow was hoping to get rolling tonight. My friend wants us to hit diamond this season but I just don't think we're that good 😂

I like the update for the painted certifications, I honestly never noticed an outline on the icons and thought it was stupid I had to go into the garage to find out what I got.

 

[Kerotan]

I was close to level 200 on the rocket pass.

I got my diamond award so happy days. Won the 4 matches I played tonight.

Nothing wrong with setting a goal! At one point in time I aimed to get up to Diamond I as well. Now I'm aiming for GC!

Aiming for GC as well this season! Only finished Champ II though. I wish I could play more regularly.
