As someone who will FOREVER love this game, I can tell you why so many will never be happy with the same Rocket Pass/New Car updates.
We thought Epic buying Psyonix meant UE5, real upgrades… instead, they removed trading, gave us Rocket Racing (which flopped), and called it a day.
People were rightfully salty, and now, nothing short of dramatic improvements to justify those losses will make players happy again.
Until Epic actually reinvests in the game at the level they took away from, players will keep checking out, and the passion that made Rocket League special will keep fading (for some) Please by no means am I saying this is all players at all.
Realistically, Epic is probably working on Rocket League in UE5—so why would they waste time overhauling the old UE3 version? But that just proves the point: until we see something game-changing, these updates will always feel hollow.
And honestly, I feel bad for the devs. They work hard, create cool stuff, and then get torn apart online for decisions that probably aren’t even in their control. It’s a tough spot all around.
Alright love you all, I'm gonna go back and open some virtual Pokémon Packs now where i belong 😂
Experience the next generation of competition ⚽️
