I might be speaking too soon, but they might've just mostly fixed/improved the weak flip kicks tonight that have been plaguing me since closer to the last big update quite a while ago. I need to do some more testing though. Also to see if I still really want Merc's handling back from before the new update from a few days ago.  |

www.rocketleague.com/news/psynet-party-system-test-steam/Also, it does seem that they have indeed mostly fixed the very weak flip kicks, which is relieving. Though there still seems to be another layer of this still there where the ball (as well as vehicle speed) feels just very slightly heavier/slower/more sluggish than they did a while back. Like there's just a smidge more (of what would be) air/atmosphere resistance all around (which I've also noticed for a long time). I don't think I see that changing back to the old days, and it does feel like you have slightly less speed and oomph in your kicks than before, which makes things kinda duller (with a slight feel of wading through water), but... sigh oh well.

Halloween Event with Crate-unlocking Decryptors coming up. www.rocketleague.com/news/haunted-hallows-event-october-16/Earn candy corn to purchase stuff. Decryptors can unlock any crate you have, but the item will be untradable. Strangely, I think they're announcing now that next year's halloween crates will be identical to this year? |

Just a warning (not that it's a big deal), the crates that you can "purchase" with the free candy corn are actually locked, as opposed to the same crates that are not locked if purchased with real money. As it doesn't tell you or show you this. So, lame, but you can get 3 Decrypters for any crate (and only 3, sadly).
Also, I feel that I was wrong about them fixing lousy/weak spin kicks. And I'm really disliking Merc's shorter hitbox. It seems to me, what they've done is toned down the vehicle-to-ball tap power just a tiny smidge... Emphasizing dribbling and/or holding the ball on top of your car and zigzagging around your opponent, while in turn hurting kick power. What this ends up doing, and has ended up doing is emphasizing always boosting at full speed (and just further making ball chasers pissed at you, rather than seeing their own faults), when jumping at the ball is now actually significantly weaker than it used to be, requiring full boost usage.
It's just kind of depressing to me that this is what the game is at the moment, even more so than it used to be, and they probably don't even see it, and it might not've even been completely intentional, as they don't see all the consequences maybe?

I don't think nerfing lower levels is a good idea....

Winter event, similar to the Halloween event, next week through New Years. But it sounds like we might be getting some more Decryptors this time.
How about they fix the item/crate obtaining issues that are plaguing at least the PC version right now?.... |

Winter "event" (similar to the halloween event) has begun. But this time we get 5 Decryptors instead of 3...

Season 7 has begun, or will be soon or whatever. Nothing else too exciting. www.rocketleague.com/news/patch-notes-v1-41/They don't say it here, but I hope they've fixed the numerous bugs with various inventory stuff, at least on PC... |

www.engadget.com/2018/02/17/hot-wheels-rocket-league-rivals-hands-on/Skip ahead for footage of some play with it. It actually seems to function well enough to be entertaining, at least for a bit. But it's already large, yet... having 4 in there might be pretty dang cramped.
Though they mention that the performance of the vehicles was imbalanced. Not great.
