NEW CONTENT, CHANGES & UPDATES

• View total Rocket League player population.

• See playlist-specific population when you’re hovering on a mode.

• The visual effect is designed as a quick burst to reinforce the moment of reset without disrupting gameplay clarity.

• The flip reset indicator is only visible/audible to the player performing the flip reset or for spectators, but appears for all players during replays, when the option is enabled.

• You can disable the flip reset indicator in the settings.

  • Disabling the flip reset indicator also turns off the effect while you spectate.

• Show your MMR on Competitive Playlist tiles.

• Display MMR on the scoreboard at the end of Ranked Matches.

• Large boost pads take 10 seconds to respawn, with the visual indicator gradually refilling over those 10 seconds until the pad is fully recharged.

• The Override Boost Audio check box can be found in the Audio tab in the settings.

• Only affects your in-match audio, not replays or menus. Other players will still hear the sound associated with the equipped Boost.

• New settings:

• Ball Location Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)

  • Randomizes the ball’s spawn location within a radial distance from its original position.

• •Other new training settings:

  • Spawn Vehicle on Ground (Default: On)

    • When enabled, the vehicle spawns grounded.

    • When disabled, the vehicle spawns using legacy Custom Training behavior (a little bit above the ground).

    • When enabled, goal replays are skipped during Custom Training.

  • Round Start Input Delay (0–0.1 seconds, Default: 0)

    • Changes how immediate a round begins after detecting player input
