Where Rocket League leans into its simplicity extremely well, things like this sound a bit iffy:
I'll be interested to see what it is, and best of luck to them going up against Rocket League.

I can see the press conference now
"Hey gamers, I don't know about you but I like a good GGEZ. And now I get all the GGs with GG: Gravity Goal. A gravity-defying cyberbike combat sport game! The newest original idea from the masterminds at 2K Games! Pre-order now!"

They already solved this themselves with sideswipe too lmfaooo
You understand 2K is a publisher and that they don't make XCOM directly right?
I get what you're saying but there's been many successful 'Tetris-like' puzzle games.
okay but they would be the ones to fund and promote a new xcom
so where xcom

There's been lots of games that take various levels of inspiration from Rocket League, though.
You just can't compete with the best, unfortunately. I think of Rocket League as about as perfect of a sports videogame possible. Not to say it can't be improved on dramatically, but the perfect foundation has been set by Psyonix and they have virtually all of time to work at improving it. I'm sceptical of any competitors but interested, of course, but nothing excites me more about the future of the "genre" than UE5 Rocket League.
Oh, could be fun, curious to see the result.
It's the opposite for me. Since the release, we have/had:
- Hockey mode
- Basket-ball mode
- NFL mode
- "Mario Kart" mode
- "Volley" mode
- Many varied stadiums
- Funny events with various balls
And soon, we will have a mode without the ball. It could be better, sure but it's far from "nothing", at least to my eyes.

As long as the physics and mechanics get an absurdly high skill ceiling like RL, this could be fun.
Yeah. Unless the 2k devs are hardcore fans I don't think they'll get this right… and even then it will be almost impossible to compete with the GOAT. Happy to be proven wrong though
The only thing I could think of would be to remove demolitions tbh.
I think there are a few tweaks one could make to Rocket League that would improve things. I actually quite like demolitions, but being suddenly respawned randomly to one side or the other is a bit simplistic. Kick offs are a bit of a sticking point too as they necessarily start every phase with a huge chunk of chaos -- feels like it would be better to shift the ball towards the team that just conceded. I'd also love to see how the game would play with a radar, or else some better way of knowing where your teammates are.
Ultimately though if someone wants to make the 'next' rocket league they need to try and understand what makes Rocket League so special as a multiplayer title. It has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling with a great sense of skill progression. It's extremely fair, with no pay to win elements and no grind to win elements. Everything is physics based and feels authentic. Co-operation is key and as much a skill to learn as the mechanics. It somehow captures more of what it is to play sport than any of the highly popular sports sims.
The above is what you need to achieve to be the next Rocket League. Which is a tall order. None of what I stated above has anything to do with vehicles or football. Yet every Rocket League clone copies those aspects rather than focusing on the stuff that really matters.
I wonder if this would gain better traction if they got the actual Tron license. It sounds exactly like the light cycles and discs.
Would be less embarrassing for Tron than Legacy was.

Why demolitions? They add another layer of strategy very naturally. I guess demos could be replaced by bumps if absolutely necessary but I don't see the value in removing demos.
I like these ideas but those are pretty minor changes.
Personally though the biggest problem with Rocket League is lack of new content. When you see some of crazy game modes and custom maps some modders make for the game it makes me wonder what Pysonix is up to that they can't do anything comparable. Well Psyonix is probably busy making cosmetics, converting the game to UE5, and is overall understaffed.
I thought this one looked pretty good

The stadiums are the worst part since they went all-in on eSports. I miss the old wasteland and even Tokyo arenas, which added some gameplay variety in competitive.

Looks really cool. It seems like it would be extremely challenging and difficult to matchmake, but I also kind of got the feeling the ball might have some kind of autoaim/curve getting it to the goal which would mitigate the problem, whilst introducing a handicap that makes it less fun at the same time...
Looking it up on their Twitter and maybe I'm wrong thankfully, but then I have no idea how this "aim line" works.
We already have this type of games and gameplay which is unique to one game with its fun and mediocre aspects and for the best and worst so why do we need an exact copy? Sorry but thanks.
