Different game modes in Rocket League

There are somewhat a lot of different game modes in Rocket League. They all involve the same thing though, you play soccer with cars that you control. The thing is though is that there are different modes as in not all of the modes involve the same amount of people.

There are four main game modes in the game. The mode that almost everyone in the game plays in called “Doubles.” This mode consists of two teams in which there are two players in each team. Its the most popular game mode in the game because by having only 4 people in the entire map there is a lot of space that is not being used up. When you have too many cars driving around the map it is harder to make solid team plays since there are people always challenging the ball. It is way easier to rotate around the pitch when it’s just you and your teammate because if your teammate is on the ball then you don’t go for the ball; when you are going for the ball then that means your teammate should not go for the ball. Second most played game mode is 3v3 meaning that there are two teams of 3 people. This is the game mode in which the professional players play the most and most tournaments are held. In this mode there is not a lot of room in which you can just drive around since there are a lot of people on the pitch with you. Everything you do has to be picture perfect in order to score since if one person misses you still have two other players you need to deal with. You really want to trust your teammates here because you can’t all be going for the same ball, if that happens then you will leave the net vulnerable and probably get scored on.

The most annoying game mode in the game and possible the most useless one is called “Chaos” and it consists of two teams of 4 people. This game mode is so hectic that you can’t even drive in peace because you are constantly being bumped and killed in the pitch due to the amount of people in the match. I think its useless because you don’t even have fun when you play it, you are constantly trying to evade incoming people.

There are the same game modes in which I just talked about in the previous paragraphs but the thing is that in the next tab if you choose to play here it is called “Ranked” or “Competitive.” When you choose to play in these modes you are playing competitively and are playing at the very best level that is possible for you. People who play this mode are the ones that take the game seriously and want to progress in the game to eventually hit the highest level which is called “Grand Champ.” You definitely don’t want to mess up when playing here because your own teammates will call you out on your mistakes. I personally really like to play 3v3 in the ranked mode. I’m currently “Champ II” which is one rank away from “Grand Champ.” I want to perhaps maybe one day see if I’m good enough to play for a professional team, but that’s in the long run. When you play in the higher ranks you see that your teammates know what they are doing and you learn to trust them more.

The last set of modes that Rocket League has are for the people that just want to mess around and have fun while playing the game. These modes are called “Rumble”, “Dropshot”, “Snow Day”, and “Hoops.” “Rumble” is basically the same thing as the normal 3v3 but the only different thing about this mode is that everyone has different power-ups that they can use during the game. It is a very fun game when you just want to relax and play with friends. “Snow Day” is a 3v3 but instead of having a ball to hit and score it is replaced with a hockey puck. This makes it very easy to score because the hockey puck slides easily and is very fast. “Hoops” is a 2v2 that takes place in a basketball court and you essentially play basketball instead of the usual soccer. It is a good game mode to play when you want to work on flying to the ball.

I added a video of a professional player that goes by the name of “Rizzo” in which he plays “Rumble” with his friends and you can see just how crazy this game mode is.
