Trying The NEW ONLINE FREEPLAY & Ranked Season!

[@ApparentlyJackRL]

What do you guys think about the new Online freeplay & new map?

[@Wackingmember-0]

cold

[@GCxIl2002]

i think its good as an option for new teams etc to get better with passes and practice scenarios against each other

[@texsion]

@@GCxIl2002 just like private matches were already?

[@senorlodenstein]

​@@texsionyou can't queue ranked while playing a private match

[@cdiggidy]

​@@texsion being able to start dribbling on or in front of your car. You can disable goal reset etc. reset the ball. This could help with learning better kick offs faster. Practicing Defending airial shots because you can get perfect setups. There's lots of possibilities

[@MarcPonsWhitelam-x7g]

jack says "i disagree" to the ball bouncing awkwardly🤣

[@xdcrackings]

the map feels weird because there is no texture on the grey stuff around the map, ruins perception of depth

[@xdcrackings]

honestly it might be his close camera settings but to me the map looks insanely small

[@matthew_1-1]

This is true

[@Emmanuelllk]

@@xdcrackings his camera settings are like 99% of high level players so yeah, map is ASS

[@blackmercury956]

Just download bakkes mod if youre on pc and it will appear kust like your regular games

[@hardoks1735]

It already feels that way just watching let alone playing, add whatever maps you want but let us choose which we queue

[@Inosuke217]

Does this happened to anybody else, when your team score or opponent score the corner boost is missing?

[@sebbe5106]

Yea

[@benjicrafted]

Legit thought it was only me haha

[@angelrodrigolemusolvera7802]

Yes

[@brunolopes2205]

all the time with this new season... and not just the corner boost. Its definetly still there, just invisible

[@nxtanthony9550]

visual bug!

[@2_Old]

"Any time the ball is near the wall, it freaks me out." As a Plat; I understand that feeling completely 🤣

[@leone8065]

Now Jack knows again what it feels like to always fail on properly reading corner bounces 🫠

[@KamiFrost99]

15:00 I understand it now. You have to enable ambient occlusion and dynamic shadows. It's probably because those walls have a solid colour. Without visual complexity, sometimes you might lose your depth perception. It's like being in a completely white room. IRL, the only thing that gives us depth perception, in that case, are shadows. Edit: Also, the walls don't have that wall-depth indicator for some reason.

[@Wxasp]

Absolutely right

[@Lunatikgixxer]

I agree with you Jack, when the ball is going to the corner you cannot tell when it will touch the wall. Its like its floating into an empty void and finally touches something. They need to take it out of ranked.

[@wokechoppa3821]

so its just a WORSE version of a private match?

[@dragieultra6603]

they are trying at least and I think this would be good for small parties tho

[@IndianaBones24]

Trying at least? Cmon man it's dookie. You don't just "try" after years of nothing. They shoupd be oversucceeding and nothing else.

[@dfresh1524]

There are so many things they could be adding from bakkesmod or modifying and they add this garbage@@IndianaBones24

[@Drrobverjones]

It's like a private match that you can queue ranked from. It's a bit quicker and easier for when you're in a party.

[@ripsense8064]

what did yall expect?

[@tonyzweedyk478]

The new map looks like it was inspired by Jaguar.

[@Emmanuelllk]

hahahah same shi

[@darekcharlet9214]

Its subtle so I think we all forget about it, but there is an Arena Preferences button on the queue menu. Its not a guaranteed veto but you can "dislike" maps and get them less often.

[@lukemedema]

Pretty sure it doesn't work and sometimes even does disliked maps more often

[@CalebJones-y5x]

As someone who has been majorly deaf in their right ear for his entire life, I sometimes imagine how it would feel to be able to hear from both ears.

[@aka5]

The same as in one but also on the other side

[@Scoob_Games]

​@@aka5 you just blew this guy's mind

[@saurabh3670]

it would be better if we could get 1 more ear at back of our head. We could hear spatial sound in real life...

[@KaliSticksss]

@@Scoob_Gamesmaybe his right ear will work again now after this major development in knowledge

[@someone_mature1057]

Well as you hear the sounds from the left, if you had regain your right, the sound will come from the middle as it balances out between the two.

[@takezero7913]

Goated editor

[@XfarglesX]

First time I played on it the scale felt incredibly weird. Like the map grows and shrinks depending on your perspective.

[@rjayvargas1097]

Oh Jack, I once had a similar issue. Were you recently in water? Or like showered and got water in your ear without you noticing? Basically everything is muffled or you genuinely can’t hear. It is called Swimmer’s ear. Your local pharmacy will have something on the shelves for it. It will fix your ear. I highly recommend doing it ASAP

[@chuknukbubs6322]

wow jack went 3-0 for his first placements and I also went 3-0 for my first three placements i guess im as good as app jack

[@Emmanuelllk]

you are closer to RLCS than you think son.

[@alvinmahoche1779]

It would be better if there was an option for having balls for each player or having only one ball for everyone. (And if it was a ball for each player you would have full control of that ball, and your ballcam would only lock at your ball for no misunderstoodings)

[@slick.deuceman01]

jack watching that second game is exactly what it feels like to play in champ 2, except everyones thinking like you and playing like the other people on the pitch

[@Timelog88]

The problem with the new map is a lack of visual queues for the corners. First map has arrows in the corners and last map has the last arc in the corner so you can see where the corners begin and end. Most likely you recognize those queues subconsciously and with the new map completely missing them it's way harder to see the corners.

[@Caluwuvin]

there needs to be a texture on the new map, to give the map depth

[@sholonkerz6751]

Freeplay with defense is such an overlooked thing when it comes to this, and having a defender at all makes it so you actually have to think while in freeplay, which is what it was lacking before. Also no, it's not like a private match because you don't have to wait for a kickoff after every goal, which makes everything smoother. People complaining don't understand how to use it yet.

[@moujik2253]

3 issues that I can clearly identify: - Lack of texture on the grey bands curving upwards make the curve unreadable - Hue variation due to lightning creates an illusion of depth on those bands where there is none (that's what makes the map look narrow) - especially on the corners. Corners are basically camouflaged - The blur on the dots on the "main" transparent part of the wall. That blur makes it look like the dots are inside the wall, faking the perception of the wall to be further than it is, making the wall appear "inside" itself

[@bustamas007]

I find Jack playing with low ranks to be so entertaining😂 you can’t predict what these players will do, his disbelief feels so genuine

[@CoopersGaming34]

Ya jack the map is genuinely horrible. They gave us grass and a pretty background but made the curve solid white so we can’t read anything smh. It’s the worst map in the game rn

[@teky-x2z]

jack i have the same headset and to solve the problem u have u just need to try to plug in your usb connected just to the headphones (the one with the grey part). hope i explained it well.

[@teky-x2z]

maybe it unpluged a bit, happened the same to me 3 days ago and i solved it like that

[@adamnshame]

Watching you struggle to read the corner bounces in the new map is exactly how I feel in every single map 😂

[@heroforest]

I think the main idea for the shared freeplay is that you go in with your team and focus on drilling specific team actions. Mostly passing plays. Not for joining random lobbies like you would in free play.

[@TheNovembernovember]

Absolutely useless if you can't reset players and ball position in a set position.

[@UKJxshy]

Yeah the ear thing happened to me as well I really don’t know why it happened but it went away after a day or two

[@BigBoss-hv2hf]

Its gonna come back you need to go to a doctor where they can clean your ears with water

[@JoHNSmith-fh3vf]

I love hearing AppJack saying oh this is just low SSL haha. Love that he can say he's on another level of SSL. GOAT AppJack

[@kiixz5837]

I love how this video is just a chaos like not as the usual vids we are used to see 😂

[@MrBubbyG_Official]

as soon as I was in this map I was like woah wait what, why does this feel huge? And then the players in the lobby made fun of me lol. Glad I am not the only one who thinks it is weird

[@edwardson4963]

its that voidless white. it looks like its higher up than it usually is. Does make the map feel off

[@NzymRias]

Anzu is always a taken name but I've never seen one until this video. For this reason, best season yet!

Online freeplay is going to be that thing that we all try once and never touch again.

[@legxcyrl]

Hi jack with the deafness in one of your ears i had the same thing and the doctor told me it was due to high salt consumption, maybe the same problem for you.

[@justin-ek9ev]

"every time the ball's near the wall it freaks me out" me too

[@CoopersGaming34]

Bro I also had like a 5 minute overtime on this map cuz no one could play 😂😭

[@emil4574]

If your ear problem is earwax getting jammed into your ear then get one of those baloons that you can use to flush it out

[@thehair9236]

Worst start to a season in RL history. The game is literally chalked for Xbox players. I played a bit after waiting an hour for the update only to have the worst in game lag of my life

[@joshuatopp2039]

Maybe it’s ur internet?

[@Jw5_rl]

I know same brotha

[@thehair9236]

@@joshuatopp2039 no. Check the Rocket league subreddit. Every Xbox user is complaining about the same thing. Epic basically ruined the game for Xbox players

[@-Erne]

Yea I’m having an issue with input delay or something, I feel extremely slow or my settings are off

[@JamesBurch93]

it’s so bad man it’s unbelievable

[@funkjunkie2007]

can't quite believe how horrifying the new map is. did no one see this in testing!?!? Disappointing as the last few have been ok.

[@oGangir]

21:09 insane touch

[@KPrivilige]

04:35 it's just some wax blocking your ear's canal, just pay a visit to your dr & you'll be fine🤍

[@vascorodrigues99]

5:12 add that one to the list

[@ncyber]

💀

[@lukemedema]

"I feel like I'm getting disabled by the map." 🤣

[@danielkrucekjr.4439]

I don’t get the issue. I like it for warming up with a teammate. Quick 1v1 with goal scoring off and then some passing plays and then straight into queuing

[@kingz3y967]

What's the name and password for the server you joined ? For freeplay

[@MarcusTalbert]

Did you ever find out ? The name and password

[@RyanGoddard-z5j]

Bro us on console have been cooked they took performance mode out the game so it’s just delayed helppppp

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

Oh dang that sucks! Why would they do that... I'm on a bad PC so I have to play on high performance rendering to not have delay and low fps, would make the game unplayable if they took that away on PC also.

[@TheGat2012]

"i cant read anything" welcome to what it feels like for me all the time.

[@yoghurtorl3313]

It's fun to do while in queue.

[@LuvFrosty]

Tell them add performance mode back on console

[@BruceMaximusLee]

before we needee to press one button to start training, then 2, then 2 and select map and now 3 and select map next we will need to solve a riddle to join i just wanna start training till the a match is found not press 1000 buttons

[@A.M.Reticle]

I don't know if the ewww was at anzus touch at 8:05 but that was funny lol

[@sbcavo4332]

it was at the depth perception bc of the terrible new map

[@chriswessel4863]

I'm color blind and that's how I feel the ball is on every map!! and on Playstation color blind mode is broken. juat trying to change my ball color like how can I not!!

[@mkayy_0]

can we get a video on your warmup?

[@zaeisok]

Has anyone else's graphics been changed, on console? It makes it extremely hard to play well for me personally, my car feels slower and it feels like the turning circle is way bigger. I haven't been able to hop on pc to try it.

[@ferghal]

My Champ 3 lobbies have SSL titles, not sure it means anything anymore :D

[@memo1x772]

Interesting background music choice

[@pasta4762]

Yo I wish you good luck with the ear situation. My uncle lost his hearing in one ear through a weird condition

[@LukeGeaney]

That map looks like a rejected prototype design for neo tokyo

[@aleckboudreau]

If he would have hit the set-up at 10:04 it could have been an insaaaane goal

[@clyzcat]

The new online freeplay is great however i found one major bug. If u score a goal and someone else resets the ball at the same time ur game crashes.

[@JW-cp5hw]

The first thing I said when you joined that game on the new map was ,"Ewww."

[@FlexNiko]

so whats even the diff between private match and online freeplay.... only thing is that the owner can do the ball hotkeys right :D ?

[@shmafoo]

The introduced lag caused by the host. Tried it with a friend yesterday who has lag issues in normal games and his hosted free play lobby was just horrible.

[@shoppingcart238]

Imagine appjack joins ur random freeplay game lmao

[@drop7738]

Ya I got the hearing thing happening to me too

[@Jaycee3]

The new map feels MASSIVE. Cool background though.

[@smitty0]

Bro this is how i've been playing for years, just 123 then 4 then 567890 You will get everything from dog shit to SSL so you get a little bit of everything.

[@Buddha_7]

He was definitely tripping hard about the map lol it was all in his head

[@JeremyDepain-pk8wg]

Yooo you joined an online free play party where I was in it was so unexpected 😅 but I could see how bored you were 😭

[@gabricool3393]

Why are the stripe not where the actual walls end it throwse off hopefully they fix it

[@gtsport3881]

**RL community: We need a training pack with ghost car doing mechanics so we can learn and practice. **Developers: yeah let's add a free play mode where Randoms can get all together doing nothing. **Me: 🙄😤😭

[@krishyfishy1]

I wish they gave us console players workshop maps. I’d love to play the rings map to practise aerial control!

[@Lorky_YT]

What an amazing map :D
