With controllers primed and hands limbered, it is now time for the Rocket League community to step up and bring the Fall Ball Cup back around once more. Psyonix built the excitement with a little smack-talking reminder to get those stretches in before it gets real intense. Thing is, it’s pretty quiet on that one, even if the replies aren’t filled with hype like the rest of community is buzzing about.
For those who missed it, Fall Ball Cup is one of those limited-time modes one would describe as chaotic and fun at the same time. That is soccer with huge balls, cars that can be driven upside down, and complete chaos, which happens when the one little mistake makes you fly to the stars while the opposing team simply walks in a goal. And yet we keep coming back for more.
Now, the replies section is somewhat eerily empty. Rocket League fans usually storm the comments with memes, hype, or even just some whining about server issues. Does this mean everybody’s out practicing their aerials and too busy to type? Who knows, maybe it simply got tweeted at an odd hour? Either way, prepare yourself because the lava will soon pour heavy chaos right into the game.
Fall Ball Cup is not just nostalgia; it’s pure adrenaline. The mode first came into light ages ago, and it rarely leaves it since. In a way, the oversized ball physics turn out even the calmest player into a reckless daredevil. Be honest; half the fun lies in watching teammates (or yourself) completely screw up the easiest save because it ricocheted in a completely unpredictable fashion.
For the newcomers, this would prove to be the best time for diving in Rocket League. Learning this gets steeper, yet there are so many modes like Fall Ball Cup which really allow for casual fun. There isn’t any ranking pressure—just pure fun. And if you think that you got crushed into the ground in the several first matches, let go; that is how it is supposed to happen. That counts as part of the fun.
Well, what’s next? Actually, at this moment, Psyonix doesn’t have much to reveal. But as it goes with every year in the past, one might see some cosmetics retrospective to that of the event, maybe an arena variant, and if luck is on one’s side, a few bright-sided surprises. The Rocket League team has the knack of keeping things under the tent, so keep your eyes peeled.
The storyline is so clear now: stretch those fingers, charge your controllers, and ready for madness. Fall Ball Cup comes back with huge doses of chaos. Catch you out there—just try not to bump too much into your own teammates. But if you do, it’s Fall Ball; anything goes.
