Finally hit Veteran. That took long enough :toot:

[QUOTE=Glitchman;48363762]I was exaggerating, but in the last 25 games I have probably lost 22 of them. Things get weird as your get higher up [editline]3rd August 2015[/editline] Not to be "on his side" since he was a dick, but the secret to higher level play is a constant fluid understanding of the ball, and where you are most needed. Defense in this case, takes priority. If you see the ball going towards your side of the field, all 3 players need to get their asses down there. I'd say 2 in the actual goal, one on the edge to hit wall set-ups away, one in the middle of the goal for last second saves, and a guy outside of the goal to hit and rebounds back to the other side of the field. If you wait around for a shot, you are depriving your team of another way to keep the ball flowing towards their side of the field and away from yours.[/QUOTE] I dont think i explained myself properly. I meant i was in the middle of the field waiting for it to come my way so i can hit it back to their side. And then let them fight in the corner for a minute until it bounces to the center for me to get a clear smack into the goal.

I keep getting this error when starting the game, any help? [img]http://puu.sh/jpgFC/6c12bb16bd.png[/img]

Just a reminder to people who have missed it, there is still a FP doubles cup going on! [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1478037[/url]

[QUOTE=greeley;48362843]I was in a 3v3 and one guy was running around following the ball like a puppy and the other guy was "defending" so i was kind of in the middle waiting for the perfect opportunity to smack it in (eg... Centering). The dick head "defending" was on chat like "OMFG GREELEY ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING?!" And i explained that i was waiting for the perfect shot and i will boost in for the shot, also im acting as a first defence. All he said was "useless team" and "i have a shit team" etc... Theres me who scored 2 goals and he let 2 goals in. I said "Mate, i thought you were "defending"" and he just said "stfu you C***" Luckily we won with my awesome kick off goal within 8 seconds. He just said "Fluke goal, ur still shit mate, delete the game" Some people are just children lol.[/QUOTE] One guy said he would ddos me if I didn't stop playing to win :hammered:

I love it when good defensive play pays off with a huge goal :v: [vid]http://giant.gfycat.com/AbleClearcutBug.webm[/vid]

This game is a surprise smash hit for me. It's frankly fucking amazing.

I hate football I hate cars but this fucking game man.

Does car choice make a significant difference in this game or is it purely aesthetic?

[QUOTE=squids_eye;48383460]Does car choice make a significant difference in this game or is it purely aesthetic?[/QUOTE] Slightly different hitboxes, and the trucks drift differently than the rest of the cars.

Once you hit 1000 skill level the ball rarely touches the ground and my ball cam constantly breaks my own fucking neck no really i am dead

Oh sweet, didn't realise we had a thread for this game. Anyone else play play alpha as well? Might as well post my video while I'm here as well. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wenKtAnXD8[/media]

Hit the lower 800s in solo matchmaking. Hoping I can make it onto the leaderboards :pcrepair:

I'm hovering around ~700 in 1v1 getting pretty damn difficult.

[QUOTE=paul simon;48388383]I'm hovering around ~700 in 1v1 getting pretty damn difficult.[/QUOTE] People start juking the shit out of you and that's mainly why I didn't hit upper 800s/lower 900s tonight. Got too frustrated at getting my ass handed to me 1-4 cause I couldn't block jukes / overhead juggles.

It's really hard to get past 900 with randos. Its literallly a 50/50 chance because of how your team is constructed.

[QUOTE=Glitchman;48390171]It's really hard to get past 900 with randos. Its literallly a 50/50 chance because of how your team is constructed.[/QUOTE] I feel like that's my problem in duos. I've been stuck in low 900s for awhile now. And any semblance of hope is shattered and all progress wiped if you happen to be unlucky and lose a couple rounds

I've had some really great moments in this game, but I'm certainly not a good player, and I'm really wondering how I should get better. My biggest issue is just properly lining up my car with the ball going full speed so it's really just my wonky driving sometimes. Also backward goals are not easy. And computers are terrible practice for this game, they're either weirdly omniscient or there's just way too much disconnect from you and your computer team mates I guess.

Notice their tactics. More a less it amounts to patience, split second parabola calculations, with mirroring off walls, as well as some billiards style kinetics. Oh and boost management

I would think both being a huge racquetball and billiards player would help me problem is, I suck at driving

You'll learn a ton about ball control, field placement, and boost management. Also make sure you play and can get 70% or more on all the striker tutorials (rookie through all-star).

I can't do all star at all, it's seemingly impossible to get some of those balls for me.

You'll be able to pull it off
