You should absolutely check out this game if you enjoy arcadey and fast paced sport/racing games. It's such a simple premise and yet ridiculously fun.

Someone who has skills at this game should put together a little primer on rad stuff you should be doing. I still don't really understand how people can stay in flight so long, but they seem to get way more utility out of boost then I do.

The key to being able to pull off those ridiculous flying shots is predicting where the ball is going to be 3 seconds before it is actually there. When you have a decent prediction of where and when the ball will bounce things become a whole lot easier (and more stylish) so just play the game, then play it some more and then a little bit more until you have a full understanding of the physics affecting the ball and yourself and you will be well on your way.

Speaking of physics I bumped into a very, very good player a week or so ago when I was streaming and highlighted the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kewXi3JYFtM Please excuse me shouting like some kind of idiot but I was terribly impressed with their ability to plan and execute poo poo that I barely pull off through sheer luck alone.

Ah, so you're 1000 Angry Bees! I had a few games with you on Friday or Saturday and knew you were a goon! I believe I played Day-Z some time ago too with you! Didn't run to into AstroPhzics though holy poo poo.

Awesome! I will be streaming a lot more when the full release lands and intend on having a ranked team and any goons are completely welcome for some scrims. I will be picking up both the PS4 and Steam versions as not to exclude anyone.

Hell yes. Thank you! Anyone wanna get some rowdy 4v4 games going in a bit?

Had some awesome games last night man thanks for stopping by, I archived the stream on Youtube if you want any replays for a highlight reel or anything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W-v0vVC58o

Also, it boggles me that people are complaining about goalkeepers, If you don't have at least 1 person willing to hover around the goal and come forward when big opportunities arise you will get smashed by any half decent team. The real villains are people who just circle around trying to destroy other cars and ignoring the ball entirely but thankfully I have only run into a couple.

Yeah, I mean the game even features goalkeeper training, I'd think on any 3v3 or 4v4 team that one person would basically be designated keeper/defense.

According to a couple friends who played a lot of the previous game there's a sort of loose rule that whoever spawns closest to the goal line is responsible for hanging back a bit unless of course you have pre arranged keeper.

This is in fact a more useful tactic than playing goaltender, and is to be rewarded.

I'm not entirely sure how you ended up with this conclusion but I guess our playstyles are just drastically different.

I'm so drat excited for customization options. Gonna have the ugliest car I can possibly achieve. Also at this point they should just rename the 'Find Match' button to 'Put me on a losing team please.' Pretty much any time you get a 4+ goal lead the entire enemy team ragequits :haw:

icking fudiot: do me a favor: if you do stat pages can you make them look like Baseball cards? Please?! You could have images of the car (with accessories) as the player picture. It would be so good.

The card brand could be Hopps.

This and unlockable backgrounds for goal/save/etc milestones.

Earlier tonight I parked just inside the net a lot as my starting point, but stopped every shot on goal the other team took, and my team won 6-0. I was doing something wrong?

I'm sorry but you must play offense at all times. Stopping the other team from scoring is not a valid tactic, try completely ignoring the ball and playing demolition derby instead.

Seriously, I want proper announcers calling games of this live. I want the analytical play-by-play happening in my head to really exist.

I want them to hire the guy that does the announcements for Killer Instinct https://youtu.be/fNibXv--7DU?t=130 Nothing would make me happier than a crazy announcer going nuts whenever someone scores.

CatpissNeverclean and myself played a bit with Kahoma who is very good at this game, but there's a few names on the list that I just don't see how they could be on there based on my time playing with or against them. Not holding much to a list like that though. They did say they reached 40k people with the beta which is pretty awesome.

I played a few games against Kronovi when I was partied up with Kahoma (who warned me going into the first game to watch out) and the dude is like the rainman of RC soccer, we managed to win a couple against them but every single one was a battle.

The season mode is really frustrating when Hollywood will NOT STOP SCORING ON OUR OWN GOAL.

I think the devs may have purposely made Hollywood retarded as a joke because he scored a bunch of own goals for me too.

I want to unlock all the cosmetics but I also want there to be more cosmetic items to unlock.

Please add 100+ more unlockables as DLC tia

Yeah it's a real shame that 60-70% of the customization options are made up of getting the same decals for the different cars.

Also it makes me sad that they sprung for an awesome soundtrack that you only ever hear when you idle at the main menu. Give us the options of cranking the tunes up while in-game :argh:

Online is pretty much a shitshow of 600 ping players flying through the ball right now so it may be wise to hold off until they get everything fully fixed :(

Also you can jump, rotate slightly and land on your butt then rocket straight upwards (alternatively just wiggle your wheels left and right to make the car dance). Completely useless unless you want to taunt your opponents :getin:

Also Protip: There are no performance differences between the cars but they do have different hitboxes so try them all and stick to the one you are most comfortable with. I recommend the A-Team van for any budding goalies, that thing is HUGE.

Pro tip: use a flat nose car for on demand bicycle kick returns. I kept trying to head balls off and side roll them but driving underneath then jumping and flipping backwards is the way to go.

The Breakout car is awesome for this. It's basically a 4-wheeled paddle.
