What do you guys usually play? I'm pretty much exclusively 2v2 because you're less likely to get completely wrecked by teammates but still have that safety net to play a bit more aggressively than 1v1.

I'm also predominantly 2v2. I do a lot of dribbling which is a lot harder in 3v3, so I don't play that mode much.
I usually just queue up for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and hockey
I tend to score the most in 2v2. 3v3 is actually more of a mess than 4 v 4 to be honest. At least in 4 v 4 there's enough ball movement that I don't get wrecked as badly as I can be in 3v3. Too often I get matched with guys that do no defending and have no idea how to time hits and jumps and I end up playing in essence 3v1...sometimes even 5v1 if you count teammates knocking my shots and clears away.
More annoying than anything. Than getting my shots blocked, being demolished while trying to shoot, driving under the ball, missing an aerial hit and slamming into a wall, is when I have a clear shot at the goal and a teammate will knock my shot out of the way. It makes my blood boil.

I haven't played much ranked to be honest. I actually only did one and I got wrecked.
By the way thanks again for the free stuff. Did some dealing around since a lot of it I wasn't gonna use either (especially the crates...didn't want to spend money to open them) and through all my trades I ended up with three exotic wheels, two of the hard to get trails, and two animated decals that I love.
All stuff I would've wanted to get by paying for keys but I didn't spend a dime. Damn decent of you. Appreciate the generosity.

I played Snow Day nonstop until I hit expert and screwed myself because now I only get sorted with really good people in regular mode and I'm pretty terrible at aerial-ing.
That being said, I am ****ing sick at Snow Day now.

Made it to Grand Champion just hours before the season ends. Almost lost hope when I dropped to Super Champion division 4 after an OT loss but ended up winning 5 in a row to get promoted to GC.

You sound like my brother. He hated rumble, and never wanted to try it. Said it was just so stupid to add a bunch of gimmicks to the game. I like this one more than rumble, just for the fact that you have to be good at ariels and putting the ball where you want to be successful, but also have to have a touch of power to it. It's an interesting concept.
Regardless, I'm liking the fact that the game is putting back into the game. IE, we are paying for keys(and they are making a killing from doing that), and they are returning the favor by adding new things, that some might find interesting, while others might not. Too many game developers make their game, and then just say well, we are done. Or they just come out with a product that is the same thing with a couple tweaks(EA NHL I'm talking to you).
I'll be going back to competitive playlist after about a week or so, but this is a nice little change of pace.

Favorite game mode in RL by far. Playing with bots and bad teammates sucks, but it's such an inventive mode and has less luck than anything else I've seen. I feel like I'm playing Tron with hot wheels. Just goes to show how different opinions can be.

Ok, yeah I'll do that. Played 3 games and not fan...mainly due to the octagon (hexagon?) design. Sooo much wall climbing.

I like rumble but I hate hoops and snow day. Rocket labs is alright. Haven't tried the new mode yet though.

Interesting call here, I was generally between Shooting Star and All-Star last season, placed Platinum II just now.
I was reading that they expected most former Champions to place Platinum II initially though, so I'm still having a hard time judging skill.

I play this all the time. Mostly 2v2 or Snow Day. Getting better at 2v2 and I wish they had ranked hockey (Snow Day). One of the few multiplayer games I will be "confident" about and say I am really good at. The others being Titanfall (the first one) and Mario Kart on the SNES Anyways, I found Duels to be fun but people always leave early if you are good and outside of hockey I don't like 3v3 or 4v4.
Rumble was fun when it first came out but there is just enough lag in it for me to when I use a powerup it seems to not work the same way every time. That or I am just bad at it haha.
Dropshot was fun and taught me a lot about doing aerials because I never used those much (playing Snow Day)
Hoops is a lot of fun too. Quite a bit different but not one I play that often.
Anyways, that's my take and glad to see some other RL players to chat with!
