Beta Impressions - Game is awful at the moment

[Seňor Pupík]

Managing camera is super annoying.
Tackles are just a coin flip.
Absence of fouls, set pieces and offsides take away any tactics and positioning depth.

Expected solid experience and skillbased game. Its neither. Its rocket league´s cousin with special needs.
Dissapoinment of the year, left my wishlist faster than father left my mum.

I think your brain went out of your head faster, the game is in beta, bro.

[PainKiller]

You're right. This is more RL than a soccer sim. If you what realism, you should go for fifa or something. This game will not be like this.

[That-Albino-Kid]

Im not sure why you are expecting realism in a arcade sports game. It could use some polish with tackles and maybe something to prevent cherry picking but the game is a ton of fun.

game is awsome

Post is skill issue, move on.

Not realism, my complaint was about very shallow game mechanics and absence of skill/tactics reliance. I come from position of player that is generally ranked among the top 1% of the competetive players. But honestly, I cannot see myself playing this even casually, its just too shallow and repetitive.

That is why I am criticising on the core mechanics, not details/bugs, bro. Get some knowledge of the general game development pipeline ffs.

That is so true. I am not super competetive top 1% but I feel same

Can you just wait for players to get better? Right now, the game is full of noobs — and that’s totally normal. You're talking about mechanics — THANK GOD THERE ARE NONE! The game is primarily about teamplay and building. I don’t want to see complex mechanics and tryhards playing selfishly 24/7 just to show off. The game is perfect as it is. I have high hopes that dedicated teams will jump in and we'll end up with a great esports scene. It’ll be awesome to watch. As far as I’m concerned, any additions should be purely cosmetic. (Move sets, outfits, animations, accessories, etc.)

Those are valid points, but I wont be part of it. And see zero chances for the game to make it to that phase.

Camera is way too annoying even for short sessions. Just a thought of spending 1000+ hours (which is generally lower bar of what skilled sweats have in competetive games) discourages me.

Same goes for two slide tackles being coin flip. Its awful for competetive game. One solution is that player with higher stamina reserve should win the tackle as reward for good stamina management. But that is not the case.

Are you using a controller?
This is not Call of Duty that requieres a mouse on high sensitivity, besides icons are advising you where is the ball or when someone is crossing you the ball, you need not watch behind you all the times.

[euphoreonz]

I agree, first few games were fun then it became a bore. Passing sucks. Shooting is stupid... way too much manual camera control. Needs to learn from rocket league. You don't get a good enough view of surroundings so always get slide tackled from behind before you can even control it properly.

Dunno, I wanted to like it because I love rocket league but it's a chore. Stadium changing constantly sucks. Only one of them has an actual crowd, desert is an eye-sore etc etc

[senda91]

One thing is true, I do not understand how passing works exactly.

[Valmar]

I think the game lacks some kind of progression system. And solo queue.

Camera is awful

[senda91]

I remenber that first time I played Rocket league it dissapoint me because of it not was that I had wanted that it was, but once I accepted the game as it was, this is my most palyed game ever.

I think this game is going to pass for this process, it could be millions time better or different but once we accept what the game is, I think we will enkoy a lot.

I think to be a good goalkeeper is a real challenger.
The point of this game is to play as a team and keep the position, you need manage stamina too, it can be more "strategic" than it seems at first look, I am not saying this is League Legends, but how people is right now not playin as a team, the game looks like worse.

I interpret that the gameplay is rude because the point is play as a team, you need to pass de ball, if you wait two second you will lost the ball, you are obligated to play with your partnets, this is not Fifa´s Volt when a single player can resolve the match.

At least is my wishing and the thing I want to believe, time will say if i am right, but I think this game have a similar future than Rocket league.

My only doubt is that I do not understand how pasing works exactly, maybe here is the key of dominate the game, but how is it working exactly?
