- It's NON META time! This week we're looking at the corporate tie-ins that have become increasingly frequent in Rocket League, and how by the nature of them, they will never be able to overthrow the current favourites.

Do a video covering the Endo
That's real life too. You just can't beat a 600 wheel horsepower civic.
im confused, why are you talking about "meta" when they are just cosmetics?
you havent shown or even mentioned the Brian-mobil.
dude the beginning where you switch the cars around is freaking dope lol
The Skyline is my favorite "real-world" car for competitive play. I originally got it because I love the car in real life (and I wanted the wheels), but I was surprised when it actually felt good! I still mostly use the Octane but the Skyline is a lot of fun. The Civic also feels nice to use, that's my close second pick.
great for everything except kickoffs
Exactly my opinion too lol
Ok alt account Sizz 👁️
@@ecs7016 nah it’s great for kickoffs
Skyline is “Hybrid” hit box. Best turning radius and solid length, width and height
Honda civic is the only car I am willing to pay for.
I can trade u a Honda
LMAO it's the only car i use for now but tbh i would like to have a ford mach e
@@sand-witch0149 I use the bugatti rn
@@dawid9053 bugatti is a dom hitbox i guess
@@dawid9053 my only favorite hitbox's octane
I love my Delorean.
Yes, the customisation is VERY limited - but it flips the wheels like in the movie when flying and boosting, and has the time travel effect on demos. That's some nice attention to detail.
it also helped me with precision on side shots since I can clearly know where the corners are since the thing is a BRICK. and the license plate sniping on the floor when you get demoed is pretty hilarious
@@carlosc6021 omg why do people hate the car shape the car is from the 80s
@@th3Kun I'd do illegal stuff my mom won't be proud of for one of those 80s bricks my man, I want a DeLorean so bad irl lol
Same. The delorean is really easy to use if you like the dominus. The civic feel great as well.
@@digitalcamaro9708 I can't get to hit the corners with the CIvic, I paid the pass just for it. Keep in mind I was playing with the Esper for like year and a half before attempting to use the Civic
As one of the very unlucky few that actually bought this game, I think I remember those early cars being just three dollars. $20 for each black market that you can legit buy on trade for just sometimes as low as three hundred credits.
at least we got every piece of base game customization :|
Wait wym black market? Traded accounts?
@@ugolattanzio9152 If you don’t know what a black market is you probably don’t want to start trading. And not only that but you wouldn’t know what the prices are and you’ll probably get scammed. No you don’t trade your account you trade items for credits on the third-party website
@@michaelakadap924 ohh I see, yes i definetly know what black market is, I use them. Was not aware that credits were sold separately
I own the game since 2017 and I literally bought most of the cars for like 1.29 Euros or 3 Euros I think
I use many of the Licensed cars, the Lamborghinis, the Ferrari, McLarens, Delorean, Fast and Furious, and Aston Martins. And I will Definitely be using the Bugatti Centodieci that premieres today. I also use them because almost all of the licensed cars have the Dominus Hitbox, which is my main favorite hitbox
I used to be dominos hit box main but changed to octane in diamond. I don’t think the centodieci will work for me since it uses plank but I still use the Lamborghinis, the Ferrari and mclaren but mostly civic
Last time I bought a vechicle in RL was when they were sold for $2. Not going to spend from $20 and up for a car model, that's just plain ridiculous...
There are still packs for 2 bucks. Plus now it's compatible with fortnite so you can buy something in fortnite item shop if you play both games it makes it good deal
Skyline and Delorean are always my go to outside of the homebrews. Funny that the Skyline is probably the most customizable and the DeLorean is the least.
The inclusion of the Honda Civic Type-R as a Rocket Pass inclusion AND it being customization-friendly is an interesting/good step... I am looking forward to see how this works out in future seasons for them.
i’ve always gone against the grain (aka Stocktane) and am probably in the top 0.1% of batmobile, Huracan, and 570s mains. i think i have almost 3k wins in each car. it’s super refreshing playing in GC in my own unique feeling rides
Insidio main here, I must be part of the 10 players using this car ^^ The reactions or comments about it are always funny. Things like "Go play with a real car" or "You suck because you don't play a meta car". I'm just super comfortable playing a car actually fitting the hitbox perfectly (especially at the front). High GC1 btw.
@@bstnlcge2662 I love how comments like that don't even make any sense. Wouldn't using a non meta car successfully make you better than someone who is using the meta. Like are these people stupid or something
Guardian GXT main here, I NEVER saw anyone using that car in many years so really understand that feeling, it's really good knowing that in many metas in game, you choose a specific one for a personal reason
Dude you sound like a professional formula 1 journalist or something its incredible that you overview a game like rocket league. Mad respect for your content it is highly precise and you deserve a lot more recognition imo
I love using the hyper cars, I dont mind the limited customization as I don't have very many cool decals on my account to begin with. I also enjoy any decal that remains the same regardless of team color, so I really like the true to life decals that come with the liscensed cars
The transition between the cars won you a follow. That was epic ngl
One of the biggest issues I see with the customization is the fact that there’s certain aspects of the vehicle that it would interfere with for example imagine putting a crazy animated decal onto the delorian or the jeep wrangler that would ruin the whole theme because they were designed to mimic their real world counterparts as best as possible epic games would have huge issues implementing certain customization features for those vehicles because in reality it’s really to say HEY I like the jeep wrangler from Jurassic Park so I’m gonna play as it and it’s not gonna be anything else because I like it
No beacause you still have the option to have it originally
I'd agree with licensed movie cars and such, but they just released the Bugatti and it doesnt allow any customization at all honestly. No toppers, wheels, decals, or antenna. Like, why even have the damn car then if I am locked out of 60% of the ways to customize it besides painting it a solid color or having it grey?
@@sweetooth123456789 its called a scam.
And that's okay we can go back if we want. That's the cool part about options
that's they worst argument i see in many places on the internet...... oH tHeIr arE tO mANy oPTiOnS anyone who can't deal with having more options should be in a special home lol
I use the Skyline at the moment and fortunately there's a fair bit of customisation you can do to it. Before that I used the Jurassic Park Jeep but that was very limited in terms of customisation.
I used to use the skyline a lot but as a got new cool decals and other customisation aspects that couldn’t be used on the licensed cars I started to use it them less.
Not being able to customize those cars and the fact that they usually cost more than the third-party trader just means it’s a terrible idea. But for real I buy stuff way cheaper from other players than what they sell at the store
I think people forgot that before epic bought rocket league, cars were about $3-$5 dollars each, and now are almost $20. They even took out all the original cars in the store.
i really like how well made your videos are, thanks for uploading !
You missed THE biggest issue that prevents people from getting these cars and then them subsequently becoming meta. YOU CANNOT TRY THE CAR BEFORE YOU BUY IT! Idk why Psyonix does this but it prevents me from buying one every single time. If I can't try it out to see how it feels then I'm definitely not paying 1000+ credits for it.
what happened to the Dingo? That was like the hot new car for a bit. all the pros wanted it. it had a huge price on just the blueprints!
heres my thought on how they should run there dlc cars:
keep them in shop all the time (separate menu)since its a free to play game now, why not make more money
so many beautiful cars and players only use fennec and octane, and sometimes a dominus
Yeah it’s boring. I root so hard for anybody pro when they do, like when Arsenal uses the Mustang. It’s lame that everyone is a sheep & uses the Octane, there’s no objective reason it’s the best. Other cars have better matching hit boxes.
I use the 2022 Batmobile on a daily basis as my main because I really love the look and sound of it. But sometimes I switch back to my Skyline just because it’s my dream car. Back when I didn’t have those cars I believe Dominus was my main
In general all cars are overshadowed by octane. Meta aside, octane receives way more attention than other cars, like getting dozens of decals every update and event while other cars only have the global option or 5 other common decals to choose from at most
The nice thing about the Honda Civic is that it has much more customization than most other licensed cars. Same for the NASCAR pack.
I'll be rocking the Civic for the foreseeable future lol. I was so stoked when they dropped that
Good video! I don't think expense is a reason for these cars not to be played in professional contexts though, nearly every pro has the same $10,000 boost
Hi, u made a good point but I think he was talking about how most players who are just starting and has the potential to become a pro player, they Will stick to meta free things rather than meta not free things
I think the main reason why I like the Skyline and the Fords, is the customization options. While you can't use other licensed cosmetics, not having any options except for color (if even that) makes the car quite boring after a few days.
When I played with the Lamborghini and McLaren the one thing I felt was that the cars always feel so “small” compared to the game-made cars. Technically the hit boxes shouldn’t be any different but visually they feel thinner and shorter than even other flat RL cars and that makes them feel less intuitive. I wonder if this could be fixed as simply as just making them a little larger, and it would be good to see these cars used more frequently in RL.
Surprisingly i actually almost always play with the 765LT, Skyline, the new Bug, Batmobile, Charger, and my favourite, the BMW M240i. Probably because i'm a carguy and i just like the look of them but honestly they are kinda cracked cars especially the M240i.
I bought the 2f2f Skyline and used that exclusively while waiting for the Ecto-1 to come back in store. When the Ecto-1 came back in 80/20 split between the two. I grabbed the older batmobile and used that in the rotation. Than when the new Nissan Z came out I have been using that almost exclusively. I'd say 95% of the time is the Z.
I've been playing this game since its original release, so I've seen all of the cars you've talked about here. I'm a car guy so I do buy them and use them for a bit but at some point I'm always going back to one of my countless Octane designs.
They should add a lambo urus with the fennec hitbox that would be dope
Fennec has octane hitbox
A Lamborghini Urus with octane hitbox, didn't thought about that... It sounds dope but if it came to happen please be customizable
Honda civic is the only licensed meta vehicle.
it would have a merc hitbox i think
I don't use the licensed cars because I can't customize them.
Can't use different decals.
Can't use different wheels.
So all the stuff I have to make a fun RL car doesn't apply, and the car just ends up looking boring.
I really like the Mach-E, always find myself rotating back to it every now and again.
They usually feel so weird for me.
Even tho it has an octane / dominus hitbox, I just can't get through this weird feeling when I play with these cars :D
Many of the licensed cars don't fit the octane or dominus hitbox. They do it to sell more of the licensed cars since octane and dominus are the most popular hitboxes. When car doesn't fit hitbox the nose, tail (other sides of the car) usually hit the ball early or late.
I personally always play with my 2015 DeLorean from back to the future! (Paid 1$ ... Yeah the prices have gone up a little since 2015)
I have rocket league since 2016 , but i only ever bought one car, the batmobile and used it for a long time but eventually got bored from the poor customization and now i use the fennec and the dominous
You forgot to mention in 2015 they had a partnership with Back To The Future, adding the DMC 12 from the movie as a playable car. I still have my Steam copy of RL with that car from the DLCs.
My main car actually is the octane, but when i get bored of it i choose the Mach-E. It Just feels better than any other car (except the octane). I think its the best dlc car in the game.
"why do nobody use rocket league's licensed's car?"
RL : *proceed to add a Bugatti with batmobile hitbox* "wyd now?"
Licensed cars will never be meta as long as their hitboxes aren't accurate. From an ease of development standpoint, limiting the number of hitboxes makes sense. But there's 120+ possible vehicle choices, and the majority don't fit one of the 6 available hitboxes. If you've watched Rocket Science's videos on hitboxes, the difference can be drastic. Five more hitboxes would probably cover the majority of available cars, yet Psyonix has been painfully stubborn about it for their own financial detriment since 2016.
0:01 I thought I was tripping out 🤣💀
I’ve run the GTR ever since it came out. You can edit the wheels, add a topper, any paint jobs or moving animations. You can completely customize it which I love.
Also a major issue with licensed cars, is that even if they can be customised, it's only the animated decals that you need to collect from rocket passes or events, and they add noise to the car. You either have them clean and boring or noisy and flashy... They need normal decals. Take a Fast and Furious cars compared to Fords for example.
i bought every licensed car (except ecto-1), I *exclusively* use them but mostly ones that are free to customize and have a hitbox of a classic rocket league body
idk a lot of people like the skyline for freestyling, and the mustang for actual comp games, even showing up in pro matches. the only thing that really keeps it from being popular is the availability. If everyone had access to the Mach E, you'd see that more in ranked than any other non fennec/octane I'd bet.
Don’t forget about the mario, Luigi, and Samus cars on switch!
To be honest, this was a very well produced video! Your voice is easy to listen to!
I bough the Nissan Z and the Ferrari 296GTB. I don’t use them very often, but when I need a change from Octane/Fennec they are very nice. I doubt I’d buy any more though
same here but with GTR and Mclaren
The Nissan Z is sooo good, that's my main
Did you know that the Ford F-150 has the same hitbox as the octane
Got the Ford Mustang mach E and i must say it's very smooth...
personally as a gold/plat player i do use the lisence cars, specificlly the lambourghini countach and delorean. I really like these cars and dont mind the lack of costumizability as it just ruins the car
The skyline and honda are the only ones i use. The skyline feels good in competitive and the honda is nice for just messing around freestyling and sometimes tournaments.
Price is a minor issue, as I have bought a few cool licensed cars. YES, I hate that a few of them do NOT allow customization like the 007 Aston Martin! All you can do is color tint the silver finish… the car is fun to play otherwise. The current Nissan 240Z event is SWEET!! A great retro car with full customization options ❤
the cut timings in the intro was fire man!
tbh the only reason i ever use licensed cars when octane doesn’t feel good. plank cars like centio and bugatti are the most fun to play. i also like to use the bronco and the mach-e on occasions. i think people are just too stuck on playing the same hitbox over and over
Great video
Could you make next video about the different versions of the basic cars like the octane zrs and the other ones
The lack of customization kills most of the newer licensed cars for me. At least the Skyline came with several looks to choose from, and paint finishes really round that out.
There's not reason a 60s Mustang shouldn't have racing stripes and flames as an option - honestly think all the original decals should be part of any package anyway. Flames, Lightning, Stripes, Wings - maybe even Skulls and Stars.
Military Grade = BatMan 😂
The Skyline, F-150, Civic, and DeLorean are the ones I use. And the F1s when it’s race day. Skyline is my go-to, F-150 if im running def/goalie.
can we appreciate that intro? that was clean
I actually love the Mustang Mach-E, it has customization and also has a good shape for the game.
I love the F1 21/22. Used it ever since it came out. Its my main Car 🔥
I run Bronco for Merc, F-150 for octane, Fast and Furious Charger for dominus, and Skyline for hybrid. I also run a few more of the fictional game vehicles for last 2 hit box types so I have a selection of all 6 hit box cars.
That intro edit was clean af. Subbed.
That Nissan at 2:52 is the smoothest car in the game imo. The octane is a close second but idk. That Nissan just feels right to me. It's been my car since I was a gold. Just made it into diamond and I don't see me ever changing it.
Forget the video with this editing and commentating this guy has potential to be one of the rocket league bigs (as long as he consistently posts quality content like this)
imo main issue is we are used to the octane or dominus and will have used it for maybe over 2 years, randomly switching to the battle bus aint gonna ever help you in that case... mer personally ive been using batman vs superman batmobile since 2017
Sometimes the hitbox is just forced upon the cars, like the dominus hitbox on the F1. The whole front wing of the F1 car serves no purpose since the hitbox only starts behind the wing. So sometimes it looks like you hit the ball but the ball just flies through the car
I only used the skyline when it came out until the honda came out. But I contemplate going back and forth but the honda is too good to not use imo
I simply refuse to pay $10 for 1 car when I can just pay $5 for multiple variants of a car via the rocket pass. The only car I want is the Skyline but I've been so fortunate as to miss it every single time it's been available for purchase. All I can do is hope it comes back at some point this year for me to get it this time.
i always use licensed cars, like the old mustang, nissan z, and honda civic. i only really buy and use them cus i love the real cars, and being able to drive them in a game i love is just super cool to me. also, all of the previously mentioned cars are fully customizable, which is one reason those are my main cars, i wish they were all like that :D
Remember when DLC cars were 1.99? I still got my Skyline from back then. I'm not paying 25€ for an in game Lamborghini
Been using the back to the future car for years now, love it
It's not hit boxes (none of them will be pay to win as new cars will use existent hit boxes ).
It's not costomization, it's the fact that they feel wrong, they don't feel like a RL car ( except batmobile, DeLorean and maybe skyline ) .
I think designers should be thinking of making a new fun and original car that fits the game
Most of my cars got removed from my inventory like my 2016 batmobile and skyline , after that i’ve never considered buying these cars. I remember getting like 2 cars for like $2.99 max back in like 2017 when i really just enjoyed rocket league imo epic ruined a lot.
I use the GTR, Z, Civic, and sometimes the F150. All of them have tons of customization options.
I love the skyline, hybrid hitbox just seems to work best for me
I’ve played rocket league with mate a little bit an I’ve never seen any of these paid cars. I’m impressed how I didn’t know this existed, wow!
This video is very well-edited! Keep it up brotha
I always use the Esper. Goated carino
i am curious if one day players or teams will start having agrrements with brands to only use their cars
The civic is great, I used it as my main for a good portion of my games and it's still a car I frequently use. I honestly just got bored of looking at it so long so I switched
I think that's why the skyline has really been one of the only real world cars with staying power because it is customizable and it plays pretty well. Other ones simply feel clunky and don't even make up for it in any other way
The only cars I use are the Aminus GP and the 2021 and 2022 F1 cars, they're very good for aggressive gameplay
Honestly I’ve never had any issues running civic or the plank-mobile
I don't play rocket league, but I do remember playing it like 4 years ago, and I bought a Mclaren that was avalible back then, because I'm a gearhead.
One thing that also discouraged new players is also due to the short purchase window of the licensed cars, a regular like me also miss their announcements sometime let alone others. A random BMW fan which might find out their favorite brand is in Rocket League, just to be told its no longer for sale when they just got wind of it months later. Thus not even going to try to download the game at all. Truly wasted opportunities.
if the civic wasn't in the battle pass, and you were able to just buy it, I'd be driving it right now
You're forgetting another reason why and this one is important: hit box when they put a license car with the wrong hit box to increase sales or when it sticks out too much like the F1 a Good bit of the front spoiler is not a physical object so it goes through the Ball giving you confusion and a false sense of aim
Besides from skyline most can't use decals, hate it. It doesn't say when u purchase if can use it or not so will not buy again.
I use the skyline as my main car, got it in 2018 and never stopped using it.
The Lambo Huracan STO is my go to car. something about it just makes me comfortable
Funny, I played all last season on Honda Civic and it's still my main car. This season I have used Skyline too as it's really good too. Waiting them to put supra or rx-7 to the game.
Jurassic Park jeep is the GOAT snow day body
That Intro was so smooth good work bro U earned a sub!
I'm not a big player, but I don't get why I would take a Licensed car, very slick and realistic, when can play with a weird futuristic car that I can customize.
No customization options for these dlc cars. Bought the Lambo long ago just to find out that you can't change much of the design.
I've been rockin the civic from S8 pass and I actually love it
