Looks like Rocket League. If so then this would be a highly offensive thing to say. Most of the players in casual are about 10 years old ๐Ÿ˜‚

The few times I played rocket league, I played casual, and got my ass handed to me.

Maybe theres a casual mode for casual players. I'm looking forward to losing to a 3 year old. Apperently those 10 year olds are way outta my skill range!

Oooooh, maybe we can find a player who's just learning their colors! Maybe thats more my speed.

You just gotta stick to it, the rocket league progress curve is incredibly steep at the beginning, but if you just brute force through it for a bit you'll reach the first plateau where you actually manage to touch the ball once in a while. Getting over that plateau is a different story and the progress curve is much slower after that.

Also go and do the training sets, start with the easiest ones until you nail them then move on to the next one, etc.

RL is pretty much the only game I still play regularly because I've been playing it for a long time and I can just do one game if I don't have much time, most other games require too much of my very limited free time.

Same. I started with a couple of friends around when it became F2P. They live in another city, so that plus voice chat is just how we catch up and chill, usually with a few drinks and with some dumb jokes here and there. We're familiar with the controls and systems and everything, so doing anything else has the barrier to entry of learning a whole new thing. R6 Siege looks cool but complicated. I don't get Destiny 2. FC24 is pretty good but I'm not sure it has the same staying power for us as RL.
