    I unlocked the pumpkin topper and a couple of other items. But the pumpkin topper is BOSS.

    I've unlocked 3 items it seems. They are somewhat rare, but they should be able to be unlocked in any mode that you can unlock other items.
    It feels like I've only unlocked an item every 6 games or so.

    Could be changing everything if they're the first company to produce cross console play. Xboners vs. PS4ers

    I thought that was more of a licensing issue with MS

    The fact it's going to be on the PlayStation blog guarantees it's not going to be an Xbox release.

    I played a bunch last night and didn't unlock any Halloween items. Maybe there's no chance for it in Exhibition (was going for the unfair trophy)?

    Also, are there trophies for the DeLorean?

    Do you mean different parts? You can't do anything to it except change the colour of the trim.

    Even the trail is locked in.

    But it's still so, so, so good. The wheels fold up when you turbo. Done.

    No, I meant PSN trophies for the DLC pack. There aren't any which bums me out a little, but it's still a fun car to use.

    I'm thinking they might bring in some of the more crazy map templates from the prior game as well.

    Also, when you get blown up, all that's left behind is two burning tire tracks, with the number plate spinning in-between them.

    You unlock something every single time you play, but Halloween stuff is less common. Maybe 20%?

    Yeah, I was afraid that was the case. Guess I need to go play more.

    Also yay, Hockey! It's like soccer with less fake injuries, unless you're PK Subban

    My wife managed to score a goal in her first ever soccer cars match, and probably her first time ever holding an xbox controller:

    I've been playing this again after finally getting round to purchasing all the DLC along with some stuff for Destiny.

    Couple of things I've noticed:
    The Delorean is amazingly awesome. Do not regret purchase at all.
    Randos that just ball-chase and hit it in any direction they can are still the bane of my existence.

    Gibbs' series Playing with Potatoes is a great watch and has some good advice for how to coexist with the ball chasing masses. You'll never be free of them, by the way. Be aware that his RP is rapidly outpaced by his hidden matchmaking score, so after a couple matches in he's playing people in the 200-300 RP range.

    The most basic rules:
    1. Don't trust anyone.
    2. Avoid the chaos.
    3. Never go for faceoffs.

    The slightly more advanced tips:
    1. Just keep lobbing it at the other team's goal.
    2. Play defensively, about a quarter of the field back from the ball.
    3. Take the ball from your teammates if you have a good clear or shot.
    4. Hog the boost like crazy, you deserve it.

    This is also a pretty great reddit thread on proper positioning, and will help you make sure that you aren't unknowingly being a ball-chaser yourself.

    This was a good read, thanks for sharing. The free patch this month, hockey mode in december, plus presumably some sort of sale will all be loads of fun as a lot of people come back to or get into the game.

    And finally, my wife scored a goal all on her own:

    Hooray, just in time for my Steam Link to arrive!

    Which reminds me, I got an extra copy of Rocket League for pre-ordering that. Maybe a dumb place to ask this, but anyone here not have it yet on Steam and want it? Shoot me a PM. (I have an extra copy of Portal 2 as well).

    EDIT - Aaaand it's gone.
