I play on switch and don't notice a latency issue, but I'm also terrible at the game so it's quite possibly I'm just nowhere near good enough to notice.

I'm in the same boat. I actually wonder how much better I'd be on PC

Probably still terrible

I can't even play on my ps4 due to constant latency issues. I have some hiccups on PC but much less.

I am used to 12-20 ping on west coast servers. I get compareable ping on playstation but there's something wrong and there's an incredible split second latency between every input. I couldn't even win a bronze match last time I tried to play. I'm diamond 3 and as you progress you see fewer and fewer playstation players. Almost never in my matchups anymore, and when you do get one, you're like aw ****.

A lot of contests as you go up come down to split second reactions and decisions and the time you lose from playing on console just is too much to overcome. I would be shocked if there were many console players at Champ 3 or GC. When I play solo duel and get matched against a ps4 player it feels like I am literally driving circles around them especially near the net.

That said I do follow some incredible console players but they're all extremely young, like 16-18 when your reflexes are peak. It's possible a young person could overcome the disadvantage, I think. I'm 30 and my reflexes are starting to slow. I need every little bit I can get.

I'm diamond 1/plat 3 on Xbox with ~100 ping a match. That's good right?

Yes that's pretty good imo.

man I am laughing at myself. For the last month or so I've been thinking I was in some horrible slump (tbf I was playing like ass) because in unranked everyone was just so much faster to the ball than me, running circles around me, always felt like I was behind the action and was so confused why it was happening. Figured I was rusty because I took a few weeks off and it just never improved.

Kept at it and it got a little better. maintained an okay winrate and looked up my mmr in unranked and it was pretty high. I think I'm getting matched with champ players. Once I realized that and dipped into ranked and re-did my placements I realized how much easier it was at plat and even diamond. Plat was a ****ing joke in solo standard I felt like I was so fast to the ball. Even diamond I feel super speedy now.

Might try to go for champ, I am bouncing between Diamond D2/D1 but it is too stressful and people are toxic and it drains me.

even so, it amazes me the amount of enjoyment I get from this game. it's so fun.

the new blue prints update....

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooool I love the balls on epic games, are you ****ing kidding me with these prices? ahhahaha

I've only opened about 100 of my blueprints (have almost 600), so far most expensive one is a $20 black market decal, lololol, thats the price of the game!

What is it? Been busy

ok first of all I agree the prices are high but here is the thing. How much would you have spent getting black market items before? Easily 100's of $. So, in a way it is probably just as fair as the old system. But that system sucked too.

I've spent I think a grand total of maybe $25 lifetime on keys

Sure $20 for a black market might not be terrible, But its like $10 for random ass generic **** wheels, $6 for a crappy decal that I would have been pissed to get from a crate opening

It was cool that they converted all my decryptors to items tho, so I got a bunch of cooler **** from that than if I had wasted them on crate openings

I agree with jmakin that it isn’t so much crappy (it is), but it’s simply revealing how crappy the system has always been.

I haven't touched the look of my car for over 2k hours, if people want to spend money on cosmetics to subsidize the servers more power to them.

I’m super stoked I have most of the rare car bodies already, especially fennec. Fennec just hits differently even though I know it doesnt really.

I spend money on skins in most games. I have spent about $100-150 in this game on keys for crates and rocket pass (rocket pass was well worth it, not sure if it is anymore).

By far, this game has the most fun skins of any game I've ever played. I am really disappointed in this update. I am taking a small comfort that epic haven't touched the gameplay (yet).

J, ship me $20 and I'll buy this black market decal, that way I look badass when we are stylin on people

lolllllllllllllllll

got 7 more black market blueprints, guess i should see if there is a market for this ****, if people are trading credits for blueprints i can dump this stuff and get a couple of the things I want. Tho I imagine the market is going to be flooded from all the people who have hundreds or thousands of unopened crates.

$20 for a goal celebration is complete bonkers. Not that it matters cause I've played about a billion hours and have only ever gotten the chance for one celebration - solar flare, which is terrible.

How is the game so good but the item system so terrible?

I imagine the backlash is either going to cause them to lower the prices or introduce a way to earn credits.

Pretty sure they're just pricing it ridiculously high now, expecting a backlash and then they'll go "we've listened to the community and will lower the prices" and then expect (probably correctly) that people will go "Oh, they do care!!!" and think everything is ok since the prices are then just a lot higher (and not ridiculously much higher) than they used to be.

Off the current topic but I got a big 4k tv with a much higher refresh rate than my current monitor. Also upgraded my internet. The game looks so much better in 4k. I was playing it at 720p for performance on my PC.

I fired up the PS4 rocket league and spent about a total of 10 hours tweaking my settings to duplicate the feel of my PC - and I think I actually ended up with something that feels better than my PC, somehow. Maybe it was my imagination but I was making shots and pulling aerials I never do on PC last night playing on PS4. Won 8 straight placements and ended up plat 3. I am wondering how my PC would do on this tv - probably even better.

Im going with it was your imagination, but even if it wasnt, id rather play on PC than deal with the shame of having a psynet logo and having to spam quick chat messages sarcastically at my idiot teammates.

It's actually kind of nice. PC players get really toxic in chat. It's hard for me to get triggered by emotes, I just think they're funny. I start emoting sarcastically if they really get on my nerves.

All I know is I was playing really well and it was probably just going to the higher refresh rate screen. My PC probably performs even better.

On the topic of displays - I picked up the Samsung CRG9 during a 'black week'-sale and it is awesome.

My first couple of games in RL I was doing amazing stuff, hitting angles and shots I usually whiff. Then... it all kinda reverted to normal and I still miss those shots so it was probably all placebo, but it's still a whole different game playing on this screen. The FOV is obviously incredible and having it wrap around you is awesome.

RL, Forza Horizon 4 and RDR2 on this is amazing - it's like VR without the lower image quality, nausea and burning forehead.

That sounds awesome. I am jealous. Re: reverting back to "normal" this is common when switching car body types. You get an initial quick performance bump and then you go back to whatever you were doing before. I think you naturally just revert back to bad habits. For instance, I have a super bad habit of hitting my 2nd jump too early before impact and so I miss high and/or weak a lot. When I switch cars I'm so unused to the new hitbox that these kind of little habits disappear temporarily while I learn the new car. That's my theory anyway.

I am almost positive that the jump in refresh rate is why I saw a performance difference. I think it matters in this game more than any other game out there. My monitor was 70hz and this tv claims it is 120. I am starting to get all sorts of delusions about how good I can actually be if I get this tuned correctly. Something still feels a little off in the air.

Not super jazzed about playing on PS4 because I have a lot of cosmetic items on the PC - I wish there was a way to transfer it over, but I doubt it.

Alobar let's play soon ! wtf
