kSo i've been thinking that Rocket League would be a good way to have a friendly competition on the site and it not being reliant on the rgr.. It's also a game that's easy to get into, the servers work well when playing against people overseas mostly, and it's an easy game to simply set up a league for. 

This thread initially is to see who would be interested in such a league, My current plans would be to do a 1v1 league, and expand to a 2v2 and 3v3 league depending on the amount of people that want to take part and what leagues they want to participate in.. You can after all participate in each league if you have the team for it essentially. 

Of course there will be prizes, They will currently be in Viz, but if enough people take part i'd be fine with introducing a cash prize for each league as well.

So let me know what you think and let's make this fun!

Sure I'll be happy to join the Rocket League league. I won't mind doing all of the leagues (if I can get a team that is). Also gives me a reason to actually practice that game. XD

What day/time do you plan on doing this?
And is there any cost to join?

Matthew2321 : Well the time of the fixtures would be dependant on the people taking part.. but if needed to i could set a time for everyone.


As for entry fees.. well let's just wait to see how many people are interested

it will be the same problems with minecraft game, people need to buy it. also since the PC game is only in Steam people will have problems with not want to use Steam which means unless someone gets the PS4 or Xbox 360 there will be no other way to buy the game. Lastly we have FIFA so why not use that, it even has netplay: https://www.vizzed.com/play/fifa-international-soccer-gen-sega-genesis-3696-game

mastergame : Firstly, I know at least 6 people on here that own the game and play it semi frequently. and a lot of people actually use steam... 

Also, it'd be nice to play a recent game and not something from 1992 or so... jus saiyan

A user of this : Any of you want to take part or know anyone else that has the game?

Hey, thanks for the summon. I'm going to be pretty busy this week, but I would TOTALLY be interested in joining this League, depending on what the schedules going to be.

I am up for this challenge. Sure thing!

I'd be interested if you need another player.
Just don't get angry if I really suck.

Vanelan : Why would i get angry if your not awesome at the game? 

It's a competition for fun mainly.. obviously some might take it super seriously... but meh... I'll be there to beat them lol

Tyrian Delirium : Some people are too serious when they game. ^^;
I recently got it and haven't really played (a little on PS4 and none on PC...), so I was giving a warning that I am most likely gonna be bad to anyone that has the misfortune of being teamed with me. xD

Vanelan : It depends on how many people enter... I was planning on maybe doing a 1v1 league to begin with get the results of that and then pair of people in teams aka 1st with last... to make it fairer

Sure, why not?

Eh, why the heck not? Though it depends on the schedule, I'm in the UK so everything is going to be at night for me.

Andrewl3779 : Well maybe not everything, I'm from the UK too.

I'd be up for joining this.

Tyrian Delirium : no steam doesn't have lot of players the game has the players, don't mix the two has equals because they are not. Certain people are forced to use steam as a way to play the game, while games like minecraft do not require that. So messy business aside I checked with http://www.game-debate.com/ and its true, normal computers can't run rocket league without lag which says a lot. A game like minecraft can run a normal computer since it doesn't require many things.

another thing is that there is no way to pause or wait on the game, the clock will end it even if we all agree to a time out (it could happen). There is only one gameplay and that is futball (soccer as Americans called it) unlike where in minecraft you have many gameplay elements. There could be a new gameplay in rocket league but I highly doubt it.

mastergame : I guess I'm confused on what you mean by "Normal Computers" the minimum specs of Rocket League should be doable for most computers built within the past couple years.

Recommended specs are as follows

RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows Vista SP2 or Newer
Processor: 2.0+ GHz Quad core
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia 260 series or ATI 5850 or better
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 2 GB available space

Steam is a great platform. I would give it a chance if I was you. Sounds like you have certain opinions on the platfom that are based off of other peoples opinions. I would give it a chance as It's really my favorite platform to play games on right now.

Snowdeath :
Tails the Fox : You two interested... also please anyone else you know has the game!

i'll wait 48 hours to see if there's any more responses then we shall see

Davideo7 : Would you also be interested in this at all?

Jordanv78 : thats the recommended not the minimal requirements, just look at this report



no way its going to run a normal computer, the ones that you buy in Best buy not ones you buy that cost $3000. 361% below is a huge graphics problem, lowest setting isn't going to help. just to prove that who ever made rocket league, didnt consider using normal computers, just look at these other reports.

i can run dark souls since its a old game and my computer can do it


however i can not run dark souls 2 since its still somewhat new


rocket league fits in the middle where it requires more than a normal computer to run. who ever made rocket league never consider this fact and they might never will.

Steam topic, yes its evil valve is found guilty of  "unfairness" to its customers. it breaks laws, they got sued by 3 government officials, developers are not gaining anything, etc etc. you cant claim its the biggest platform for games because its not true, valve refuse to give that information and the only ones who say that are the fanboys. people use steam to play games not the software, thats it, thats a very hard core fact, people will just use steam for the game not the software.

mastergame : So let me explain something here.... This is a thread for a friendly competition around a popular game called rocket league.

You then say it's bad and suggest another game... fair enough.. but if you have no interest this should be the end of it... 

You then post about how rocket league won't run on normal computers and steam is corrupt and something about it only having one game mode and minecraft is better.... At this point i don't even know what you hope to achieve... 

Then you compare rocket league to a  game that came out 4 years prior to it... which if you knew anything about technology advancements is actually quite a length of time... Also if you can't find a computer that can run it for 3 grand.. your looking in the wrong place.... 

I get the fact you don't like Steam, but what has that got to do with this thread at all... Nothing.

If you feel so strongly about it go make a thread... but this is a competition thread if you don't want to take part just ignore it. 

Now if you don't mind i'd like to get this thread back on track.. Thanks
