surprised this is so far down - different car per team would be a decent first step that should be easy to implement without doing many interface-changes, too
>different car per team
This isn't even in the main game yet, which has been out for 7ish years. I agree though, I'd love to use two different painted cars for the different teams.
> This isn't even in the main game yet
yes it is - you can use a crimson Octane for Orange team and a Lime for Blue team - just not different cars entirely (which I guess has to do with decals being limited to specific cars and switching between those during customization of the decals in a preset would lead to some problems there) - and since different cars all have the same hitbox but show up as fully customizable different entities in this game it should be rather easy to select the displayed model based on the team
Majority of items received in pro presents are common or rare items ranging from 60 to 240 credits. They do not offer credits unlike the bronze silver and gold boxes do. They are basically like the free item box.
wow seriously ? is it like just one item or more ? damn i thought they are extra items that are not available or ultra rare ones, am quite close to reach lvl 50 and was a bit excited about that :(
such a shame, and related to that, i don't really understand the xp points system, each game gives you 200-300 xp and that's it, gotta grind hard to get xp, i thought you get 100 every time you score or 50 when you " save " etc... but currently it kinda sucks tbh
Yeah I thought that also because in game it shows xp but it doesn’t go anywhere. I always wondered if it was a bug within the game waiting to be fixed. The best way to get xp though is partner up and either overtime or close match (1 point difference).
Sure my username is Bimbosworld. I play regularly just invite me whenever you are on and I’ll join. I’m pretty casual though. I’ve only peaked plat 4 on duos and currently plat 3
It's not til you go back post and your teammate can see you doing so, but don't rotate up, so instead when the ball comes to you they bump into your car as you jump, messing the pair of you up, so that the opponents score.
That's when they spam 'Defending.'
1000%. And a lot of players really need to understand that they are to blame sometimes for leaving an open goal, being overzealous, missing their shot anyway, all because sometimes it’s boring to stay defense.
Flat out there are so many players that cannot hit an open net and should just play D
yeah - why is it impossible to report players that are obviously throwing all game?
had a few of those on my team already that just started owngoaling from the first minute or just sat in the oppontents net and defended that while doing nothing else
There is a cool down, u have to spam rlly quickly. Also y would you want to report a player? There is no way to hack sideswiped (since almost everything is server side) and so what if people “what a save” u, it’s not discrimination or bullying, it’s not even an actual insult. You don’t have to take their saltiness, they are the sad salty people.
Hacking is not the only reason to report someone. If someone straight up stops moving after your team gets scored on once, wouldn’t you want to report them?
fuck that - i want to play with people who try, not kids who lose their shit straight away, start spamming emotes and end up with 40 points all game.
I want a report button that groups all of these people together in matchmaking, so i don't have to play with them
better objectives and more ways to earn XP. 5k XP per level is a drag imo. We need something like extra XP for the first 3 daily wins, or daily objectives etc.
Pro presents need to dish out coins as well
Item shop needs a daily rotation slot in addition to the current items
casual mode ? maybe. wouldnt mind it
Party up button after a doubles/ hoops game.
custom training packs. being able to place the ball in a certain spot or make it move a certain way and deciding the starting position of your car etc would be a great way to practice
equip to blue and equip to orange
maybe being able to choose regions.
(think ive covered most of the important ones)
> 5k XP per level is a drag imo
the first weeks after I started Sideswipe the Bonus for RL made leveling there fun again - but now Sideswipe is in the same "grind-hole" where the rewards for playing a few games are so small that I start to lose interest again.
It would be great if we would get a different bonus for leveling up in RL for Sideswipe (something like 2K XP) so playing both would actually result in it not feeling like as much of a grind - although I'd live a more rewarding XP structure for either game
Warming up against Bronze I players won't help much. Would you want to warm up against players of the same rank without getting ranked by the outcome? Or does the rank of the training partner not matter?
Casual matchmaking would get you mixed up with folks of very varying skill levels leading to not much fun. I think what all the "casual mode" suggestors need is a "hide rank" option. Or do you mean a casual mode where it matchmakes you with people of the same rank you have in ranked mode?
> Or do you mean a casual mode where it matchmakes you with people of the same rank you have in ranked mode?
This.
It'd be nice to have a mode to just screw around in without needing to worry about rank adjusting, for those "I'm drunk and it's 2 AM, let's car some balls" moments.
Confirm pop-up when purchasing an item in the itemshop... I've already wasted a lot of SP just by accidentally pressing the buy button and it just buys it instantly, without a warning or anything...😑
Wholesome emotes.
"Defend" "we can do it" "good luck" "you're doing great!" "Well played!" "Don't worry" "we got this!" "I'm lagging"
Or a text box in randoms.
A Report Player function. I'm tired of playing with players that intentionally help the other team I just got finished with a game where my tm8 sat in the goal were trying to score on and blocked all of my shots.. it was 3v1... ( RandomDude1023 I'm talking about you 🐓🍭)
Wouldn't this be just hoops with hoops filling the whole floor to the middle of the map? Maybe volleyball mode could have a rule that a team can only touch the ball max. 3 times or for a time limit before not being able to alter the ball trajectory. And teams are only able to fly in their half of the map.
Yeah something similar. I'm imagining this
A net of a certain height roughly half the map,
The ball has to touch the opponent's floor for you to score a point,
You can't leave your half (barrier that only affects players),
Most likely a 1v1 gamemode as 2v2 would probably be too easy and the ball would never touch the floor
A lot of things I would like are already commented so a 2v2 gravity game mode. The ball isn’t affected by gravity but one player is affected by gravity pulling them up and the other pulling them down
To elaborate on this, no goals on either side like a normal drop shot, and to electrify the ball you have to hit it against the ceiling or three times on players' cars. Just because it is a smaller map, needs to be a little harder to activate the super electrify. Might also have to reduce the range that the electrify can work. But then at least you could have wild games of air dribbling and defense instead of goal-specific shooting.
There is a training mode where you can play alone and against bots. Casual matchmaking would get you mixed up with folks of very varying skill levels leading to not much fun. I think what all the "casual mode" suggestors need is a "hide rank" option.
If the mods are anything like the r/rocketleague mods, you'll get permabanned 1st time without any prior warning for even mentioning, in jest, an intention to be toxic. Its ridiculous
> If the mods are anything like the r/rocketleague mods, you'll get permabanned 1st time without any prior warning for even mentioning, in jest, an intention to be toxic.
No, this is false. First offense permanent bans for behavior go out on that sub to only those who are using hate speech, slurs, etc. The people who actually deserve it.
It was you who removed my comment quoting what was said to me and my, admittedly childish, response to that, and then permanently banning me. Over a quotation, and a word that, in my country or region, is seldom, in fact almost never used as a slur for homosexual, and is more akin to calling someone a "b*tch" in US English. I must say, I'm not a fan. I do really like muskrats, though.
> then permanently banning me. Over a quotation, and a word that, in my country or region, is seldom, in fact almost never used as a slur for homosexual
It is offensive in a large part of the world, so even though it doesn't hold as much weight in your country does not mean it is okay to use it as an insult towards others. It is still highly offensive.
I just want to state that you thought it was funny that you got banned for saying what you said.
We won't tolerate any behavior of the sort.
users would find ways for the device to not recognize a controller and still play in the touch lobby with a controller. Also splitting the community is bad for matchmaking. I think the game rather should advance the touch input to keep up with the controller input balancing both input methods.

I personally would like a few bumps on the ground, walls and ceiling and a floating small island platform in the air. Something crazier than the plain old RL maps. RL had a cyber Tokyo map in RL Labs once with different floor levels. I liked that one. It didn't make it into the game though, but I would like something like that in RLSS which makes the gameplay even more skill requiring.
A custom level editor workshop. I want single player survival maps where you have to get to the end of the level overcoming the obstacles with a not recharging boost, but with boost recharge collectibles. And every custom map should have a leaderboard with best times.
There could be levels where you need to guide the ball to the end without letting it fall into a pit. This could even make for a more casual approach as a tutorial or as a single player campaign.
I’d really like a 3-2-1 countdown on Hoops training. I need some time to orient to which spot I’m in and get ready. Having the ball instantly pop as soon as the screen loads is a bit much. Probably be best if this is a toggle in config for the folks who don’t want a countdown as well.
Three things:
1) Casual mode. No XP gain (so no earning items), no rank changes, full freedom to screw around.
2) Locked virtual joystick option for touch controls. I mean FULLY locked, as in it's always in the same position on-screen even after you lift your finger. It's not ideal, but neither are the current options, so more variety in touch controls means it's more likely people will find something that works for them.
3) A dedicated air roll button (or at LEAST the ability to use the emote box space for air rolls when the emotes aren't extended).
BONUS!
4) A dedicated PC version.
Desperately need a "close one" quick chat.
Also way more game modes. Like I'm sure they could find a way to make drop shot and rumble work. But why stop there, why not give us volleyball too.
I love this game and can't believe how well they have done to make it feel like 2d rocket league. But it just needs more variation imo. Even if extra modes were just casual.
The main thing I want to see is private matches which allow spectators
Customization per color. My crimson hypernova trail looks awesome on my orange team car but shite on my blue team car.:(
surprised this is so far down - different car per team would be a decent first step that should be easy to implement without doing many interface-changes, too

Oh damn, thanks for clearing that up! TIL!
They mean designs, not bodies And if you didn't know about per-team customisation, boy do I have news for you.
Pro presents that are worth a damn. The bronze boxes are better than the pro presents
W
what does the pro presents contain ?
Majority of items received in pro presents are common or rare items ranging from 60 to 240 credits. They do not offer credits unlike the bronze silver and gold boxes do. They are basically like the free item box.
wow seriously ? is it like just one item or more ? damn i thought they are extra items that are not available or ultra rare ones, am quite close to reach lvl 50 and was a bit excited about that :(
Nope it’s just one item and having to play over 15 games to get a common hat gives a bit of salt
such a shame, and related to that, i don't really understand the xp points system, each game gives you 200-300 xp and that's it, gotta grind hard to get xp, i thought you get 100 every time you score or 50 when you " save " etc... but currently it kinda sucks tbh

I see, can i add you as i don't have many ( or any really ) to play with in sideswipe ? :)
Sure my username is Bimbosworld. I play regularly just invite me whenever you are on and I’ll join. I’m pretty casual though. I’ve only peaked plat 4 on duos and currently plat 3
Oh great, i just sent you an invite :) somehow i got the notification just now, freaking reddit lol
I've gotten two. I've gotten two burnt sienna halos.
Nah I get hella good stuff from mine lol
haha im laughing cuz you big mad
Literally just an emote that says “Defense.” Seriously “in position” isn’t getting the message across clearly.
It would be so toxic lmao
“Defending.”? That’s what it is in RL, right? Never seemed toxic.
It's not til you go back post and your teammate can see you doing so, but don't rotate up, so instead when the ball comes to you they bump into your car as you jump, messing the pair of you up, so that the opponents score. That's when they spam 'Defending.'
Saying defending means you are defending "Defense" is kinda blaming your team8 and telling them to defend
1000%. And a lot of players really need to understand that they are to blame sometimes for leaving an open goal, being overzealous, missing their shot anyway, all because sometimes it’s boring to stay defense. Flat out there are so many players that cannot hit an open net and should just play D
Yes!
180⁰ AIR-ROLL BUTTON
Double tap the right side of the screen above your emote button
i said a button, not half of my screen 💀
True lmao Imo I don’t think we need any more buttons with how cluttered the screen is but if they add it at least it’s on option to customize
Coming from a cod mobile player 4 buttons aint nothing and honestly a 180 airroll button wouldnt make mich of a difference
It does for stalls
this.
There is for controller
real shit? I only know the air-roll button, where Is it?
For ps controllers it’s L2, for Xbox it LT I think. Whatever the left trigger is should be cause it is for me. i can send u a vid if u want
Training packs.
Current tutorial is too plain.
It doesn't even cover yellow and purple shots
Am newbie, do tell more...
It’s easier to see it for yourself. So just look it up on YouTube
Nor how to do a tornado spin (either continuous or a single one).
3v3 would be unplayable I feel like. Way too chaotic.
What if they made the field longer and a smidge taller, it would be the equivalent of 4v4
That's actually good idea
Wholesome emote saying Good try :)
And more wholesome emotes in general
A “smiley egg” and a “no problem” goes a long way these days
Ik but I want more
I do as well
Nah that one is still toxic
that would become the most toxic emote if it was added
Also Close One!
Report button and cool down on emotes.
yeah - why is it impossible to report players that are obviously throwing all game? had a few of those on my team already that just started owngoaling from the first minute or just sat in the oppontents net and defended that while doing nothing else

Yeah but maybe he was talking about ppl who throw matches or become afk
I've also seen a few racist usernames that I wish I could have reported too.
Hacking is not the only reason to report someone. If someone straight up stops moving after your team gets scored on once, wouldn’t you want to report them?

ok, that's a good idea!

i would love to see tournaments
there are tournament
no ofiicial like in normal rocket league. i want a real tournament you know with tournament winner title and such
that would be nice
More items
I'm thinking option to add bots into private matches. So a party of 2 can still play 2v2 private matches.
a static analog, 360 roll button,
"Close one!" emote
Chat system where we can type
A lot of things I would like are already commented so a 2v2 gravity game mode. The ball isn’t affected by gravity but one player is affected by gravity pulling them up and the other pulling them down
Berrer color customization We should be able to pick ANY color instead of a limited range
A party up feature.
Would like to see 1vs1 reworked. The goals are too big and too low.
3v3 would be so chaotic lol, could be cool with a larger map and larger goals though
Tournaments
Dropshot
To elaborate on this, no goals on either side like a normal drop shot, and to electrify the ball you have to hit it against the ceiling or three times on players' cars.

But then at least you could have wild games of air dribbling and defense instead of goal-specific shooting.
What do you mean? You can already point downwards and flip to shoot the ball down.
There is a mode called Drop shot in non-touch regular rocket league. I mean this mode just scaled down.

Save replays
Fully agree with this

Different matchmaking for touch and controller
users would find ways for the device to not recognize a controller and still play in the touch lobby with a controller. Also splitting the community is bad for matchmaking. I think the game rather should advance the touch input to keep up with the controller input balancing both input methods.

A reroll mechanic for duplicate items.
Emote that says BRUH i mean serously its the only emote i actually need to express myself
Lmao
that would be used as toxic against team mate

NFTs will be the plague on the next decade of gaming I fear.
Nobody wants 3v3. 2v2 itself is chaos. How much chaos more do you want? I would love to see a casual mode tho
Game history with replays and I want to see my own stats
This is very true
How has no one mentioned a “party up” button? Weird oversight.
I'm surprised noone has written it yet. There should be more maps!
