Pros and Cons: Rocket League

I'm not a pro or anything so I'm gonna take this opportunity to celebrate
Ugh.  So satisfying
Anyways, here's what's good and bad about Rocket League

Basic Information:
Developer:  Psyonix
Genre:  Sports
Platform:  PlayStation 4, PC
Release Date:  Jul 7, 2015

What You'll Love:
  • Soccer with cars that can jump, flip, and have jet engines on the back
  • Hilariously awkward gameplay, especially with novice players
  • Rules and objectives are simple and to the point
  • Controls are simple to pickup and play
  • Detailed car editor
What You'll Have Mixed or No Feelings About:
  • No option to change game length (one period of five minutes per match)
  • Inability to change quick messages (the defaults are fine though)
What You'll Hate.........Or Find Hilariously Bad:
  • AI teammates often leave goals wide open for no reason or score on themselves
  • Servers were down about half of the time at launch
  • Cannot search ranked and unranked matches at the same time (I don't care about my stats, I just want to PLAY!!!)
  • Both camera options can be frustrating since they follow the car so close
  • Matchmaking can take a painfully long amount of time
  • In-game lag can be horrid
Games Similar to This:
  • ATV Offroad Fury 4 (Ice Hockey mini game)
