A wise, heavily-bearded Greek man once said, "The beginning is the most important part of the work," which is why the team here at Psyonix is looking back to 2008 and our very first football-game-without-feet, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. It's with that history and creative motivation in mind that we're happy to announce that our next Rocket League DLC Pack, Revenge of the Battle-Cars, is almost ready to go!



Currently driving through Sony's certification process, Revenge of the Battle-Cars has all sorts of cool stuff inspired by our first official trip to the pitch! When it arrives just a few short weeks from now, our "new-but-old-school" DLC will feature a number of awesome customization items that longtime SARPBC fans should immediately recognize. Including...

• 2 Classic SARPBC Battle-Cars, Scarab and Zippy
  
• 12 New Decals (six for each new car)
  
• 3 New Paint Types (Toon Glossy, Toon Matte, Toon Wood)
  
• 2 New Wheels (Scarab and Zippy)
  
• 2 New Rocket Boosts (Accelerato and Battle-Stars)
  
• 4 New Toppers (Cavalier, Locomotive, Pixelated Shades, Shark Fin)
  
• 2 New Antennas (Retro Balls from SARPBC)
  
• 5 New Achievements

Besides our paid Revenge of the Battle-Cars DLC, we're also continuing our tradition of giving everyone extra FREE stuff to go along with it. This time around, it's the debut of two new variations of our existing arenas, Urban Station (Night) and Utopia Coliseum (Dusk). These variants are the last "regulation-style" maps you'll see for while, by the way, as our next few arenas after that will focus on more "unusual" layouts and settings (more on those later this year). Additional FREE goodies, like new music, Community and Country flags, and our customary updates and optimizations will ship alongside the DLC.

Revenge of the Battle-Cars will retail for $3.99 USD when it releases later this October. See you on the pitch!

If you caught our post over this past weekend, then you also caught our plan to make a few changes to Ranked Season 1 play. Now that we’ve had a few more days to work on it (and gathered additional information), we are now ready (and have begun) to implement those changes.

• Starting later this evening, September 15, at 6pm PT/ 9pm ET, we will re-seed players into more accurate Divisions. Once this has happened, you may notice a jump in your RP and shifts out of the first Division of Bronze, Silver, and Gold into "II" or "III" based on your Preseason Matchmaking Rating (MMR)
  
  • Note: Players will only move up in rank because of the re-seed ; players who already surpassed their Preseason MMR will not move down and, instead, remain at their current standing
  
  
• Preseason MMR and Skill "Uncertainty" have been restored to their previous levels, but with a new minimum Uncertainty so that your MMR doesn't stagnate
  
  This should improve the quality of Ranked matchmaking and remedy some of the issues caused by the initial Season 1 reset (which was creating matches with a wider skill variance than intended).
  
  
• The Rank Points algorithm has re-enabled "Trending" so that, if you're playing matches above your division, you will gain additional RP with Wins and lose less RP with losses. By default, the RP you gain or lose is based on match difficulty, but this is an additional measure for players whose skill (MMR) has outpaced their rank (RP)

• Matchmaking Quality. We will continue to observe the results of the changes we've highlighted above and fine-tune as needed if players experience a skill variance that's too wide in Ranked games. We definitely don't want to create match situations in which players only gain or lose 0-1 RP.
  
  
• Rank Points System. We are still tuning and identifying specific situations where it might be more difficult than intended for players to gain RP, and we fully plan on addressing these situations as we encounter them.
  You should have already seen some changes to the RP system over the last 24 hours as we began to roll-out our initial changes (and we have seen very positive results, with better-quality matchmaking and RP rewards). As we move forward through Season 1, we will continue to improve the gameplay experience for all of our competitive players, and we appreciate you guys sticking with us.

Good luck!

Now that we're a few days into Season 1 and we've had the chance to watch its performance in the real-world more closely, it's a great time to make this post so that you all have a better idea of how the system "officially" works and for us to let you know what we think we're doing right and what we're doing wrong. This is a possible TLDR, so get ready!


Our goal for Season 1's ranking system was to eliminate the common problems we saw with Preseason. We used raw skill ranking (MMR) in Preseason to determine your division and leaderboard standings:

1. Our skill system is similar to other modern games and tracks a "Skill" and "Uncertainty" for each player.
   
2. Your skill value goes up or down based on wins, losses, and match difficulty
   
3. Over time, your uncertainty decreases as the system becomes more confident about your skill

This worked great for matchmaking, but it performed poorly for seasonal player ranking because it becomes harder and harder for you to change your skill over time (and the leaderboards become stagnant)


For Season, we are continuing the approach of taking methods used by other popular competitive games by introducing a "Points" system that sits on top of a "hidden" Skill Rating/ MMR, from which the points get its influence. At a high level, this smooths away the Preseason problems as "Rank Points" (RP) follow a few key rules:

1. You gain or lose points that are proportional to the difficulty of the match you played (based on MMR, not RP)
   
2. Your RP should "trend" towards your MMR. So, if for example, you're "Bronze III" by RP but your MMR is matching you against "Silver II" players, you should gain extra RP via wins and lose less RP with losses until you end up near the "Silver II" division
   
3. RP is actually not involved in matchmaking at all, it is still controlled entirely by your hidden MMR

Based on your feedback and our own experiences in Season 1, it has become obvious that our system wasn't quite working the way we intended. But why?

Problem 1: When we reset the Preseason standings, we reset everyone's MMR "uncertainty" to allow player skills to move around more freely with the new season. It turns out this was a mistake because it made matchmaking less accurate AND it caused problems with the RP algorithm that was supposed to "trend" you towards your MMR. Those two issues combined created a climate where players see small gains but significant losses when they shouldn't have

Problem 2: We didn't seed Ranked divisions as well as we wanted to. Specifically, anyone from 0-499 MMR was placed into Bronze I, 500-999 MMR in Silver I, and 1000+ into Gold I. This is particularly troublesome for players in the Bronze rank, where a 100 MMR player and a 499 MMR player are vastly different but started with the same RP.


A couple of things, actually:

1. We plan on implementing placement matches in the near future (most likely in Season 2)
   
2. We are restoring your hidden MMR Skills and Uncertainties to Preseason values, but with a minimum uncertainty (your skill never completely stagnates). This will improve matchmaking quality AND fix problems with your RP incorrectly "trending" towards your MMR. In other words, you'll see fewer small RP gains and fewer large RP losses (We are doing this very SOON).
   
3. We are actively investigating re-seeding players into more accurate divisions. A 499 Preseason MMR player could instead be placed into Bronze III instead of Bronze I, for example. We will also be careful not to reduce anyone's RP who has already climbed past where they would have been re-seeded (We are also doing this SOON).

We will be keeping an eye on system behavior and player feedback with our immediate and larger-scale reworks prior to- and for Season 2.After all, our primary goal is to ensure that Ranked play is both competitive AND fun, so that's what we're going to work towards accomplishing.

Thanks to all of you for helping us find our way there. We're definitely in this together!

Our first-ever Rocket League scheduled maintenance will begin early tomorrow morning at 12am PT/ 3am ET/ 7am GMT and WILL result in server downtime that lasts for up to one hour.

While servers are offline, the database and its related services will undergo preparatory treatment for their move out of Ranked "Pre-Season" play and into Ranked "Season 1" instead. The brand new Season 1 *officially* kicks off with the release of next week's "Update v1.05" (exact day TBD).

As a byproduct of this transitional period, currently-live Stats Leaderboards will display inaccurate information -- though, to be honest, the game already started doing that earlier today (and sooner than we intended, sorry about that!). Though Leaderboards will continue to be inaccurate between seasons, your actual Skill Point ratings are still correct. Those ratings will be taken into account for Season 1 and pre-seed you into appropriate Divisions once launched (expect more information about hat in next week's patch notes).

Thank you for your patience in advance, and we'll see you on the other side!
