Comment with your reasons why, and next week it may be struck off. Football. Tennis. Conkers. What do these historic, reputable sports have in common, I ask you. That’s correct, they are not extreme enough. Please, quiet now. I am here to do the talking. Yes, there are sports videogames, your FIFAs and your Mario Tennises. But they do not fulfill the desire within all of us for the extreme, the radical, the pushing of it to the max. I will now demonstrate, through force of listicle, the 9 most extreme sports in PC games, from bone-breaking snowboarders to motorcycle Wipeout. And you, in your turn, shall be thankful to this website for providing such diversion. Now, read.

Every time someone shares a sick clip of a Musty Flick they pulled off in a ranked match, they have amustycow to thank. The 19 year old from Atlanta is in the upper echelon of Rocket League YouTube creators, and it happened in part by a top notch work ethic. But, it was a serious injury during high school that paved his road to Rocket League. amustycow (Musty for short, or Wyatt as those close to him call him) was a model high school student. He carried a 4.0 GPA, and made the varsity soccer team as a freshman. Even though he excelled in school, there wasn’t a subject that he loved, which made for an unsure career path. "I never knew what I wanted to do, or what college I wanted to go to," Musty recalled. "My parents told me that it was normal to not know what to do, but all my friends were planning and filling out college applications. That's when it got surreal for me. I was like, 'wait, I literally have no idea what I want to do with my life.'" Musty continued to do well in school, and went through the motions of traditional education. Then, in 2016, he suffered a serious concussion playing soccer. This was his second concussion, which amplified its severity. He missed two months of school because of it, and that was only part of his struggle to rehabilitate. While he was stuck at home trying to get back on his feet, he turned to video games. He and his two brothers enjoyed gaming together, but it wasn’t one of his huge passions. He played the FIFA and Call Of Duty Series, and just dabbled in Rocket League at that time. Screen time isn’t recommended for someone recovering from a concussion, and Musty's mom didn’t like the thought of him playing Call of Duty: Black Ops for long periods of time due its violence, so they compromised on Rocket League for short play sessions. "Dealing with post-concussion syndrome was one of the worst things to happen in my life. I couldn't sleep for weeks," Musty says. "It was near when Rocket League came out on Xbox. That's really how I got into the game. It was almost a miracle. Maybe if I didn't have the traumatic experience, I wouldn't be where I am today. I think about that a lot." After a full recovery from his concussion, he didn’t want to risk further injury with soccer, and Rocket League became the competitive replacement. That meant striving to get better – six-hour sessions in Free Play, grinding Ranked Matches, and sharing clips on Reddit. "I would play free-play for like six hours a day, trying out different flicks and mechanics, and watching tutorials on YouTube. At the time, I was just trying to get as good as that Squishy Muffinz guy," he laughs. "I was really trying to become a pro, because that's all I knew. I thought that was the only way to achieve success in Rocket League. I didn't know there was any money in YouTube content creation." Then, in 2016, all th...Spike Rush Is Back This WeekendMar 30, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWe hope your Spike Rush skills are still on point, because the mode is coming back for a limited time!

Expect to see these items in the wild beginning on March 11, the day after the March Update. This Series will feature the first new car of 2020, Komodo (plus 6 Komodo Decals), and 16 additional new items like Tremor Wheels, Tidal Stream Animated Decal, and the Meteor Storm Goal Explosion. For the first time, you'll be able to get these items in a couple of different ways. Blueprints from the Series will start to drop after select Online Matches. You can also expect to see these items, along with their painted variants, cycle through the Item Shop. Be sure to check it out on release day! So keep an eye out for these items beginning March 11. For now, check them out below in all of their explosive beauty! https://giant.gfycat.com/AcidicWhimsicalKingsnake.webm METEOR STORM GOAL EXPLOSION https://giant.gfycat.com/BowedArcticAltiplanochinchillamouse.webm TIDAL STREAM ANIMATED DECAL https://i.imgur.com/5zDCO1k.jpg Komodo | Ultralex Wheels | Flamerate Boost https://i.imgur.com/qV0rNBJ.jpg Vertebrate Octane Decal | Glaive Wheels Flamerate Boost https://i.imgur.com/ZECwZTB.jpg Ombre Fennec Decal | Orbit Wheels | Flamerate Boost https://i.imgur.com/u1oUbNO.jpg Faceted Sentinel Decal | Tremor Wheels | Flamerate BoostMarch Update Releases March 10Mar 6, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsRocket League is getting ready to spring forward in March with the March Update. The update will be live on all platforms on March 10 at 10 a.m. PDT (5 p.m. UTC). Here's everything you can expect on release day: Blueprint Trade-In Once the update is live, you'll be able to trade in Blueprints to get a Blueprint of a higher rarity, just like you can with free items. Trade five Blueprints from the same series and same rarity to get one of higher rarity in return! Fix for Inventory Filters Speaking of Blueprints, inventory management is also getting a fix. Any filters you set when viewing your inventory will stay active until you exit your inventory. You'll even be able to change item tabs while keeping your filters. This also means you'll be able to trade in items of a specific rarity, and those filters will remain active after the trade. We hope this makes the trading process a bit easier. Changes to Default Settings We've made some slight adjustments to default settings for players picking up Rocket League for the first time. The new settings should make it easier for new players to see the field and control their car. These changes will not affect anyone's modified control scheme or camera settings, but if players are using current default settings, they will change to the new default settings after the update. Here's what's changing: Camera Default Camera Preset Distance increased from 260 to 270 Stiffness increased from 0.3 to 0.5 Camera Shake intensity reduced for most actions "Legacy" Camera Preset added for players who prefer the original default settings Controls Controller Deadzone value reduced from 0.3 to 0.2 Dodge Deadzone value increased from 0.5 to 0.8 Reduced the intensity of controller vibration at the default setting Boost now only vibrates the controller when Boost is activated, and not while it remains active. The "Medium" and "High" Vibration settings use the old Vibration Interface Nameplates are now “Always Visible” by default. Team Colored Boost Meter is now enabled by default. Dynamic Range Controls For Game Audio We added HDR Audio to Rocket League in August's Season 12 Update, but soon you'll have even more control over the sound of the game. The March Update will add Dynamic Range Presets. In the "Audio" tab within the options menu, you'll find a new dropdown menu that contains Dynamic Range Presets. Here's how those presets will affect the game's audio: Medium (Default) Medium will provide the most balanced audio mix for headphone users, and is a similar profile to the game's current mix. Low (Night) Low is designed for listening at very low levels. Loud sounds become quieter and quiet sounds become louder, and we also remove some sounds that are less important. We do not recommend using this setting on high-fidelity systems or when playing Rocket League at high volume. High (Theater) This is the best mix for those who play Rocket League at high volume or with high-quality sound systems. Loud sounds will be more vibrant...Rocket League's Playerbase is Now 20X Bigger Than 2 Years Ago at Launch on SteamJul 12, 2017 - GitHypRocket League didn’t have much of a following when it launched on July 7, 2015 with a modest 2k players per hour on Steam. But positive word-of-mouth resulted in the game quickly exploding in popularity. And by the end of its first month on Steam, Rocket League saw its playerbase spike up to an average of 12.8k players per hour.
Since then, Rocket League has shown no signs of slowing down with the playerbase continuing to increase. And now, Rocket League is celebrating its second year on Steam with a current average of 39k players per hour – a number that’s twenty times the game’s debut playerbase and that keeps it in Steam’s daily top 10 most played list.

Rocket League's Average Players per Hour via GitHyp[/caption]
Most recently, the developers at Psyonix discounted Rocket League by 40% during the Steam Summer Sale -- reducing the price from $19.99 to $11.99 -- which they've done multiple times since the game's release. However, it was actually the dev’s big Year 2 update featuring a new map, Rick and Morty content, and the first-ever double drop-rate weekend that resulted in a 28% increase in players right after the sale.
Rocket League’s constant updates and lack of competition are two of the biggest factors attributed to its player gains. Aside from Psyonix’s own previous game on PlayStation 3, 2008’s Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, there’s nothing quite like Rocket League to challenge it and steal away players. And until there is, Rocket League’s playerbase is on track to continue increasing on Steam with the devs already announcing tons of new content on the way.
