I looooove this game! Even if I suck at playing it!
I love casuals and I think Psyonix have achieved something that seemed impossible 10 years ago, when they released "Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars". The prequel got no repercussion in the videogames market, while Rocket League has become a world Phenomenom.
I am telling all my friends to play it with me 'cause it's very funny and everyone can play, no matter of your level or platform.
Also I have to say that I am playing in PC and I haven't tried on controller, but do you think it's better with gaming pad?
