ROCKET LEAGUE GUIDE

Rocket League

Rocket League Defined:

Soccer meets driving in Rocket League, a game of rocket-powered acrobatic cars developed in 2015.

Two teams of three choose from a variety of high-flying vehicles equipped with huge rocket boosters to score aerial goals and pull-off game-changing saves.

Players work with their team to advance the ball down the field, and score goals in their opponents’ net. Rocket League is a technical game which involves both high-level dexterity and fast-paced gameplay requiring constant communication and collaboration amongst teammates.

Rocket League is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

How Rocket League is Played

Each team starts on opposite sides of the field, as either the Blue or Orange team. When the timer begins, players race to be the first to hit the ball with their car. Once the ball is in play, the clock winds down until a team scores by hitting the ball into the opposing team’s goal, at which point players return to their starting positions and repeat that process until time runs out. The team with the most goals at the end of regulation wins. If there is a tie, the teams play periods of overtime until a winner is determined.

What makes Rocket League different from Soccer are its competitors: rocket powered cars. Players choose their vehicle before each game, and have various customization options. During the game, cars earn “boost” by driving over lit circles on the field, and can “fly” by combining boosting with jumping.
