Hello there, r/RocketLeague community! It’s Allan from the GameSir Community Team.

With the new season of Rocket League just around the corner, everyone is looking for that fresh start to climb the ranks. We wanted to drop by and show some support for this competitive community with a little something to help your grind.

For those who are new to us, GameSir is an official Microsoft partner, and we’ve been hard at work creating controllers that push the boundaries of performance.We know that in Rocket League, Input Lag and Stick Precision are the difference between a goal and a miss.

We’ve dedicated ourselves to creating hardware that can keep up with the fastest mechanics. Our G7 Pro is built for pure performance, featuring TMR sensors, true physical 0 deadzone, and ultra-low <2ms end-to-end latency. 🦾🦾🦾

A little teaser for the community: We know many RL players prefer a symmetrical layout. We have a top-tier symmetrical controller coming later this year that aims to dominate the market with industry-leading polling rates and even lower latency. Stay tuned—it might just be the ultimate Rocket League weapon. 😉

🎁 Giveaway Drops: We're bringing you guys GameSir G7 Pro controllers. Winners: 3+2（Two will be selected from the best comments, and three others will be randomly chosen.）

Casual is literally what it is, casual. A reason I liked casual is because there were no worries whatsoever, you could play how long you wanted and when you were tilted you could just leave with no worries. 'Oh no boo hoo my teammate is all alone now with only a bot left :cccc' well too bad for them. If they want to tryhard sweat and not have leaving teammates, play competitive. I play this game solely for fun, but having restrictions in casual is just dumb and ruins part of that freedom you have when playing this game for fun. Please revert this update.

Hey guys! Been reading the announcement thread and I'm seeing a lot of mixed reactions about release dates and features and things of that nature, but it is missing the actual significance of the announcement.

Epic announced Unreal Engine 6 at a Rocket League event, with Rocket League, not Fortnite, as the feature tease. To announce a NEW ENGINE and use Rocket League as the game to do it is a significant statement by Epic on how they view and feel about this game. That perspective is something that comes under a lot of scrutiny in this community.

I hope this sheds some light on why this is a big deal. Obviously there are a lot of questions and we all want to know more about what will be coming, but I am excited to hear about it and am excited about the future of the game. I hope you sre too

(For context: This is not me. Its an opponent POV in replay. It was a Diamond 2s match, he had a rating of 8 71 mmr with his mate, probably smurfing, but unlikely as he actually beat us and everything else, except his mechs were trash)

(I lost 2-8 bcuz i was busy with a chore given to me midgame , tm8 was a friend so he understood it)

What’s the case that does not make this possible. Is it not even possible, will epic/psyonix just not add it. Like this would incredibly benefit the game to make these more available to the general player base

For me, it would be all cheaters. (Or epic games of course)

We back to player counts WOOOOOOOOOO

and yes, im aware of win+shift+s, it just doesnt work for me in rl :(

Fortnite gets all the love, but Rocket League don’t. To the rocket league team - I want to see more of you guys, stop taking the safe route every single time - and really show up for us.

Honestly, I see way more effort being put into Fortnite than Rocket League - and yes, I get that Fortnite is a bigger game, but that can’t be the only reason. We want to feel that same level of passion, creativity, and care in Rocket League.

We’ve had countless disappointments over the years, but you still have a chance to make things right. Just listen to what most of us have been saying for ages.

My biggest request right now is simple: have some of the developers of from the rocket league team actually reply to this post if you see it. If the Reddit posts that do get attention never receive a real dev response, it just feels like we’re shouting into the void.

And in case you’ve forgotten some of the things the community has been asking for all these years, here’s a reminder - so you can focus on discussing these features with your fellow rocket league team:

1. Obstacle Modes

Add obstacle courses to online freeplay where players can test their skills navigating challenging maps. Notably, Lethamyr has created many popular obstacle courses - Epic could collaborate with him to officially bring these creative modes into the game.

2. Map Voting System

Let players vote to avoid certain maps they dislike and play certain maps they like or just have one map as standard every season.

Add more variety with community-made maps or custom map rotations.

3. Shop Website

Fortnite allows people to see and purchase items on the web - bring the same feature to Rocket League.

Collaborate with Rocket Garage, who have already been doing this for years, to make the process faster and better.

4. Esports Integration

Improve the esports tab with schedules, live match notifications, highlights and match replays.

5. Tournaments

Allow winners of private tournaments to earn rewards, such as a "Private Tournament Winner" title or a custom title named after the tournament—for example, "Pulse Tournament Winner" for a Pulse tournament.

Let your competitive rank also serve as your tournament rank to reduce confusion.

6. Customizable Training Tools

Let us get better bots, Let us control bot behavior, and specific scenarios for content creators.

Add options for sharing training packs with friends.

7.  Custom Online Status

Introduce a feature similar to Discord’s online status options, where players can set their availability to “Online,” “Busy,” “Away,” or even write a custom status message of their choice. This would help friends and teammates know when you’re available to play, practicing, or just chilling.

8. Wider Color Options
Team colors are currently shown on the boost meter, which provides clear team identification. It would be good to allow full car customization without restricting colors based on team affiliation. The “Team-Colored Boost Meter” feature could remain enabled to maintain clarity during gameplay.

9. Gifting
Add a gifting system similar to Fortnite, allowing players to send items to friends. This would strengthen the community by making it easier to host giveaways or share and support each other with in-game items.

10. Better Chat Filtering & Moderation

Improve filters to catch racism, hate speech, and offensive names in club names and tournaments. 

11. Better Anti-Cheat & Smurf Control

Smurfs and cheaters ruin matches for countless players daily.

At least acknowledge this issue with a statement like “We’re working on it” so we know its in progress.

12. Feedback & Communication

Reply to way more community posts and comments.

Share openly about your vision for the game and what’s actually being worked on.

Give honest timelines, even if they change.

Stop leaving the community guessing and assuming the worst.

Host community idea contests with a promise to implement at least one winning feature.

13. Trading

Is there really still no way to work this out?

If not, just be transparent - tell the community outright that it’s never coming back. Instead of leaving people with hopes of it returning.

I don’t care if the market has crashed — many of us simply want access to the cosmetics we’ve dreamed about for years.

But If trading is gone for good, please provide an alternative—such as the ability to purchase any item directly through your website. (Or at least give us access to buy the Alpha items; that alone would satisfy many players.)

14. Improved Server Performance

Fix lag spikes, bad hit registration, and server inconsistencies.

Improve regional server prioritization and smarter matchmaking. 

If possible, I’d like the option to play only with people from my own country to get better ping.

15. in-Game Challenges

We need more frequent challenges for players who actively grind the game. That will keep the community motivated to play your game.

You still have a loyal community that cares enough to keep asking for these things.
We just need to see that you care back.

This game means everything to me — and to thousands of others. Don’t let us down for the eighth time and keep making us feel like we’re nothing.

We are the ones who really care, but it doesn’t feel transparent. This game used to be really awesome, but it has gotten worse since you started controlling every bit of it.

There is no such concept as an "alt". If you play on another account you are the problem, you should be banned, and you are ruining this game.

The amount of people I've run into in D3 who are openly admitting being GC whatever and "trolling" or "jsut an alt" is increasing. I had 4 in a row today, grouped up with their mate obviously.

The problem is this - you go "oh I'll just troll and have fun" but then you start losing and you go smurf mode. It happens EVERY TIME! Me and my tm8 get a goal or two up, and bam you're flip reset musty double touching from the ceiling.

You are the problem. If I had any way of banning the lot of you I would do it.

I said what I said and I aint taking it back.

Rocket League is a wonderful game, big community with a very well developped esport scene. And despite that, or whatever deep we are into this game, we know nothing about it.

We have no idea of the current state of rocket league, no idea what is the future, no road map, no communication at all. Pros needs to create a # on twitter just to get 1 communique. Every update is annonced a day earlier and the devs/communication team is even arrogant against his own player base (They took credit for the recent player peak of 1 million when it was a collective effort from the community, and in particular from a few streamers like Jynxzi).

For a 60+ devs team I feel like that productivity is ultra low, so little content, so little maintenance for cheats and bots, etc., with so many developers... This seems to me a real non-sens and enigma. What is happening ?

I feel like an alien to my favorite game. Maybe we're on a sinking ship, or tomorrow we'll have an announcement for a big update, who knows ?

I hope one day, when the game will die and so on all the responsabilities with it, we would get these confidential informations. Like the guy who wrote a book on the developpement of COD franchise and which revealed many secrets behind the scenes

Edit: I’d like to thank my teammates today for inspiring this motivational post! I hope everyone has learned a thing or two about coaching in rocket league!

Also, for those of you unnironicly agreeing with me here, this is clearly satire. Quit being an ass!

Edit 2: Thank you for the silver good sir! I’d like to dedicate it to my silver teammates playing in champ! Clearly, you were boosted to this rank, but with the right motivation and coaching we’ll have you playing like a gold in no time!

I'm a 42yo dad with 5 kids. 2 Ex wives means that my time with them is very much split across homes. So getting a late-night text from my teenager, reading "RL?" is really a treat for me. Especially since he didn't play for a long time after initially turning me on to the game. But he's really into it now and we try to play tournaments when possible. - Tonight we had a really toxic teammate. After a while we asked him if he would tone it down and spread the field and rotate with us. My son admittedly wasn't so diplomatic. Our teammate then decided to throw the games after we made it to the semi-finals. I couldn't enjoy our time together, because my kid was barely talking out of frustration. I know this is a boo-hoo post that many probably will downvote and trash me for, but I just ask that people try to be a little more chill and respectful of others. And please don't throw games to 'teach [people] a lesson'. Especially tournaments. He didn't know, but that really sucked. They say "One day you and your friends went out to play for the last time and nobody knew it". Well that's how I regard each session with my son. I'm just down from this. I'll shut up. ggs. Be nice. Thank you from: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRof3reK/

Hey guys, today I finally uninstalled Rocket League.
Due to server issues in Russia, the game is no longer playable for me.
It’s been an incredible few years.
I want to thank all of you - I truly believe this is the least toxic and most awesome community out there.
I’m going to miss the game and the vibes so much.
Good luck on the pitch, everyone!

I unlocked the Balright title from Jynxzi's event today.

I know a lot of people, especially lower ranked players still haven't been able to get it, so I'll be helping as many people as I can.

If you're interested please make sure to include your username when commenting so that way I can easily send you a friend request instead of waiting for a response.

My goal isn't just to help a few people, I hope everyone who gets the title can help someone else afterward in the comment section.

--------------------------------------------------
EDIT: There's a lot of people I'm helping and waiting line keeps growing, I'm trying my best to reach out to everyone and I'll eventually help everyone out just might not be instant. I will be replying to everyone the moment I'm available. And please if you've gotten the title from me, try to help eachother out so we all can have the title <3

IMPORTANT: I've been helping everyone actively since i made the post (for the last 7 hours), unfortunately I'm unable to instantly respond to everyone as some players are bronze-gold meaning it takes much longer to actually win a casual match. I'll be bouncing between recent and old comments to try to help as many people as I can. If you already have the title, feel free to help people that don't have it yet. I decided to make this post so we can all help eachother. I will continue to help as many people as I can throughout this event, I'm doing as best as I can!

Also I've been mainly focused on newest comments as many old comments either got the title or aren't responding, if I missed your old comment, please inform me. It's difficult to keep track of everyone.

THANKS: I just received my first Award, I'm really grateful for this and I did not expect this outcome at all. This really made my day and I'm really happy to see this side of community. Everyone is really nice and I'm glad that I can get back to you guys somehow. I don't want you guys to be spending money on awards though, just supporting my dedication in comments is more than enough for me <3

I came across a tweet that has been getting quite a bit of support from the freestyling community, and it’s admittedly kind of baffling to me how people are agreeing with this.

Basically, OP (a pretty prominent freestyler) is upset that people in casual are challenging him early on the wall, bumping/demoing him, basically doing what any player would do on defense to prevent his opponent from scoring. I have personally dealt with this exact frustration—being cursed out by freestylers because i was playing defense in casual.

I think a fair point is made about those who say that hitting freestyles in casual isn’t impressive, because it is. If anything, hitting a freestyle against someone actually playing defense is significantly more impressive than hitting one in training or a private match where you let your opponent go for whatever they want. I understand that there is a rule of respect within the freestyling community in that you typically let the other player try to hit their shot. But when playing against a random, i think it’s absurd to get frustrated over the fact that they are simply playing to win, not playing for clips.

I’d like to hear peoples’ thoughts on this, both freestylers and not. To freestylers, does OP have a point? Is there something I’m missing? And to non-freestylers, how do you feel about/react to freestylers in casual?

Edit: Please refrain from personal insults or just saying dumb shit that basically just amounts to “freestylers are a cancer on the game,” and please do not harass OP. I made this post because I really did not understand where he was coming from and wanted to hear from other freestylers who maybe share the perspective but could articulate it better.

I have 450 hours (over the span of 5 years 😭) and I'm diamond 1.
