Why Does Nobody Use Rocket League's Licensed Cars?
Ойындар
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.

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.

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.

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

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
The transition between the cars won you a follow. That was epic ngl
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

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
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.
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 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
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
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

i really like how well made your videos are, thanks for uploading !
This video is very well-edited! Keep it up brotha
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!
That Intro was so smooth good work bro U earned a sub!
the cut timings in the intro was fire man!
Great video Could you make next video about the different versions of the basic cars like the octane zrs and the other ones
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
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 really like the Mach-E, always find myself rotating back to it every now and again.
That intro edit was clean af. Subbed.
that is the cleanest car edit ive ever seen. absolutely wonderful!
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.
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
I'll be rocking the Civic for the foreseeable future lol. I was so stoked when they dropped that
To be honest, this was a very well produced video! Your voice is easy to listen to!
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
0:01 I thought I was tripping out 🤣💀
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.
your voice is so calming, great video! :)
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.
This is an awesome video, you just earned yourself a subscriber
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.
Been using the back to the future car for years now, love it
That first edit tho..💨 wow!
Great video!
Great video mate 🫡
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.
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.
The nice thing about the Honda Civic is that it has much more customization than most other licensed cars. Same for the NASCAR pack.
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
the ones I keep coming back now and then are nissan z civic skyline and have been using the bugatti, although not sure I'll come back to it after I get tired of it
i have the skyline mclaren battle bus civic and type r as well as the Delorean regret the mclaren as i rarely use it. but delorean is similar to the dominus hitbox which i play. i love the battle bus music that plays at super speed and the skyline i pop on every once in a while.
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.
i love the honda . the ghost busters vehicle is dope too
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 moved to pc about 2 years ago, and I completely forgot about the armadillo man. I miss that car. I used that and the scarab a lot 😢
You deserve 100k subs. Great videos and keep up the good work.
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 remember using the ripper and the mclaren for a few days/weeks and every time it was back to the octane lol
I usually play with Dominus or Octane, but playing with the Bronco or Skyline it's quite fun tbh, mainly the bronco, feels like you are unstoppable.

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 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

I like to see the license cars in the meta would be nice and I mostly use the charger rt my main and secondary is the skyline or maybe ill use my tyranno gxt sometimes
underated youtuber keep up the good work
Only licensed car I've used for more than a couple games is the delorean and nascar, mostly because im a fan but also because they feel good to play with ingame. However i've also bought a bunch of others because im a fan and not used them just because they feel weird to play ingame (F1 and countach)
I’ve used only the battle bus since it came out several years ago. People send me hate mail when the lose for some reason lol
i am curious if one day players or teams will start having agrrements with brands to only use their cars
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.
can we appreciate that intro? that was clean
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.
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
I use the Lamborghini STO and tmr Bugatti Cientodiece. I’ve always played with the Plank hit box so I’m really used to that and I play good (enough) with it. Never use octane much tho
Got the Ford Mustang mach E and i must say it's very smooth...
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
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)
literally only the skyline and recently the civic can get some action in my sessions imo
The edit at the start🤤
I use the skyline as my main car, got it in 2018 and never stopped using it.
Been rocking that 570 since it came out 👌
The only cars I use are the Aminus GP and the 2021 and 2022 F1 cars, they're very good for aggressive gameplay
Been using the STO ever since it released. Best 11$ spent to clip on octanes.
Honestly I’ve never had any issues running civic or the plank-mobile
I would just like to say that that opening was sick holy crap I watched it like 3 times
fairy peak used the boatmobile in rlcs... they really dont have any other plank hitbox cars that fit the hitbox better
I love the skyline, its my favorite car irl and I really felt bad that I didnt get the dlc when they still had dlc. I ended up getting it when they re released the skyline. the civic looks good too but it just feels way too small and i keep getting beat in the kickoff when i use it

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!
I have bought almost all of them so far, I just need the Jurassic park jeep, the rest of the batmobiles beside the 1989 jet one, the Chiron, One of the Aston martins
I like to think of them as just collectibles, I only use them if it feels good
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
Skyline and the jp jeep are pretty good
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
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.
im not high skill tier by any means but i still line using the skyline, i saw it and was like yup this is my car, plus it has decent customizion 🤷♀️
I've only bought vin diesel F&F snow charger and i love it
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
Don’t forget about the mario, Luigi, and Samus cars on switch!
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.
My favorite used to be the skyline but I think after the nerf the car felt sluggish and unusable honestly stopped by paying after it was nerfed
Funnily enough I only use the gtr and Honda Civic rn. Fortunately both are pretty customizable, especially the civic
