Rocket League Switch: Release and Impressions Thread
- Thread starter CountAntonio
- Start date
Was this ever in question? Cross-platform play was advertised as a feature from day 1 and you can't exactly play with people on different platform if the game physics is different.
I've noticed the matchmaking taking a while as well and a lot of times I'll start joining and time out
Oh cool didn't know they were porting SARPBC also.
Kidding aside, Psyonix have been excellent at supporting this game so I bet they'll improve the game for you guys.
Was it a random drop or are their requirements to unlock?

So far, so good. Plays really well, though I hope to get matched up with as few people playing online while on the go as possible to minimize shitty lag games. It's certainly not the prettiest version of the game, but that's fine.
That's a really valid point. It entirely set me up to feel really disappointed, (The near N64 level shredding) so it actually helped me be more pleasantly surprised, versus disappointed.
Next similar level of expectations...RiME!
No, it wasn't. But when people start port crapping left and right, I assume the entire port could possibly have issues. I'm really pleased with it, and have recommended it excitedly to two different friends. So to me, that kinda thing helps as much as the naysaying. Good quality work, deserves sales.
Hooy shit i suck at this game. Played like 20 matches and won 3, actually had an affect on only 1.
To be fair like 90% of my surefire goals were blocked or stolen by my own teammates. I do feel like im getting better but i keep getting fucked over by teammates eho wont stay in the goal or ceash into me.
Oh well im hsving fun.

Well disappoints me to say but I think I'm gonna have to shelf this until the next patch comes out. Maybe I'm getting a different experience than the rest of you but I'm having trouble getting past the input lag, rubber banding lag (which is usually a connection type issue but it's happening a lot on the switch), and I'm starting to hone in on the FPS drops. Hoping future patches can address some of this, for now I'll just be sticking to the PC version
Glad a lot of you are enjoying it though, the game is amazing and Psyonix has done a fantastic job with it the past 2 years. I think I've just gotten too spoiled with perfect gameplay on PC

I don't think Panic Button really considers handheld mode when they're porting over these games...
Even Doom had tiny subtitles that are barely visible.
Yeah if you have played Rocket League before, don't buy it. It took one hour with the game but now I lost all my excitement I had for the game in Switch. I really hope a future patch will improve this to make it feel Like RL on PC..
Exactly this sadly.
You guys that said the framerate is rock solid are on drugs. I notice dips frequently. Especially when a match first starts.
Good to hear they're acknowledging a fix for a problem, but giving themselves till December 31st to fix an issue like that? Damn I have no hope for the bigger issues to be fixed in a timely manner.
I haven't noticed this input lag people are talking about, but I also haven't played the PC version in a long time. Is this input lag straight up input lag or network latency?
Weird...I feel like that is something they could easily address, hopefully they do.
It's especially noticable in Training. On PC I do good, while I suck when doing the same training on Switch. I should do a comparison video.
good. for now I have decided to wait for the first patch that hopefully fixes this bug and helps the performance :)
I wish the new people would try defending and waiting to hit the ball when it's clear for them.
Or at least wait for me to set up the pass

No, the only fun way to play this game is to chase the ball and doing goals, Otherwise your points might be low and perople will call you a noob. Trust me, you don't want that.
But they would get points from the goals I set up perfectly for them! :O
Do people have to feel/sense that you're amazing before the match is about to start?
Some people really need to get over themselves. Sometimes there's a try hard that makes me just want to mess around for the hell of it. It's a game, people, you're taking it way too seriously.
I'm a bit disappointed in my purchase. The resolution is really getting to me, the frame rate is quite unstable at times, some effects are missing ( like the woosh feeling when going supersonic) and the font is really fuzzy (everything's fuzzy to be honest). Hopefully they can pump up the resolution and optimize the game via patches.
The only thing that make feel a little better is that I can play RL on the go.

Actually I'm trying that approach and it's been rewarding. With a bit of luck the Ball falls in front of you and you can nudge in a few goals.
Uhh what?
1. I'm in comp.
2. I don't trash talk
3. I do my best to watch my teammates so I best know how to be a teammate that helps them succeed and us win.
Yeah, a lot of the games I find is just waiting for the other team to make a mistake or let their guard down. Patience is key :)
I will try that when I get home. Would be great if it fixes things. But I also was under the impression that my button presses are delayed. Will report back in 8 hours or so.
I tried that earlier, set to 5 for both...
Something was off with the turning radius compared to PC...
Or I could be imagining it...
Though I seemed to do better after that change.
Oh hmmm
Well if that's the case maybe not. Tbh i dont notice anything worse than other console games. But I haven't played PC rocket league in a long time so idk. And I've always been trash tier at the game so who knows.
I don't see what these points have to do with anything. It's the attitude. And it's not only you. Sure, we all like to win, and we get it: you guys are (or at least feel) amazing, but just let people play their own way and let them have fun. I'm all for a little cooperation, but if people are trying (forcing) to let me play a different way than my own then screw them. I'm sure it's all friendly and most people don't mean anything with these comments, but again, it's a game. Losing is just as much as part of the game as winning.
Okay, I'll stop now. Didn't mean to ruin the mood, people should just enjoy the game :p
Apologies if this has been answered but I have a quick question is regards to the matchmaking. Can I invite a friend on my friend list into a party and then search for a game against random opponents, with other randomers filling in the spots on our team?
I'm allowed to be frustrated when teammates play for themselves in a team-based game. If it bothers you that I get frustrated when I set you up a pass, rotate when you scramble after the ball abandoning the goal, or ram me when I am in position for a shot, maybe take your own advice and focus on the game instead of what the people you are playing with are saying?
I don't know man, I made my comment sarcastically and I feel like you are projecting onto me as one of those guys who abuses quick chat over any mistake.
Thanks for this. I was getting confused as I read this in this thread, yesterday... ( not trying to call you out Unicorn just trying to get some clarity on the situation )
...but then read elsewhere people were hooking up with their friends and then playing against randomers, so I was getting a little confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
Forming a party with people from PC and Xbox One is cnming later. Making a party with other Switch users is already in.
