Clearly never played proball, a quake3 mod which was a fucking hoot and laid a lot of groundwork for Rocket League. Did hours of this at LAN parties
Soccer tournament for unreal was also excellent. Deathball for 2004 for was also brilliant. I'd love to see CoD or Fortnite do a modern fps take on the concept

Yeah it’s called Rematch. It’s like soccer with humans and much fun.
They should make an IRL sport like it /sI dunno. A sport that uses balls? Never gonna be popular.
Nothing can compete with Basketcube, Basetetrahedra, or Foottesseract.

Epic has been trying real hard to remove the mojo tho. I have 1000+ hours in Rocket League, very few of those are from after Epic hyper-enshitified the game.

Removed trading so that items could be crosscompatible with Fortnite which no one asked for

Isnt there literaly a game thats rocket league but with humans? Aka Soccer with boosts?
Rematch hasn't released yet, but a few public playtests happened. While there are some strong similarities to Rocket League like controlling a single player, the walled arena and having a form of boost, it's still very different and hasn't yet given me the same thrill.
Rematch does not have the verticality, and so it's missing a whole dimension (and multiple degrees of freedom) of skill expression. The arena is significantly larger, as it's built for more players, which results in a much slower game. It has the potential to be a very solid new esports game, however I can't see it pulling away many players from Rocket League.

How about getting rid of casual Snow Day. I got on a year or so ago and you couldn't even play Snow Day as they moved it to some rotating schedule where it was swapped out every other month with some other game mode. Who does shit like that?

Exactly the same boat. I got to about 900 hours. I've barely touched it since Epic took over.
For me, it started when they took the non-standard maps out of competitive play.

Probably the most addicting, infuriating game I’ve ever played. Got it for free too on PSN.
WOW!
and
What a save!
Trigger me to this day.
Oh God the what a save spam. Being in a comp game, getting scored on, your 2 teammates immediately fade out of existence. Good times.

The article missed that SuperTuxKart has a mode that is somewhat similar to Rocket League.

After switching to Linux I felt so disappointed finding out they stopped Linux support

It does work on Linux however. I still play a lot on my steam deck.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

Not long ago I tried to log in for the first time in a year or two, and I was stopped by a big long TOS agreement that promptly made me switch to another game

It works just fine on Linux though...

I'm guessing you're talking about the old neo-tokyo map. I felt it was a bit chaotic for ranked myself, so I liked that change. But Epic is still trash, don't get me wrong

All of them, to be fair.
Badlands, ARCtagon, and Tokyo Underpass were all great challenges and really fun imo.
With the standard maps, there's no variation.
When the maps went standard I started playing a lot more snowy day, hoops, rumble and dropshot.
Unfortunately, I know I'm in the minority who enjoyed the novelty of the nonstandard maps.

They had that and it didnt work
It worked for literally everyone but them

epic bad, upvotes plz
Epic barely changed it. You stopped playing because you put 1000+ hours into it and eventually got bored and moved on.
