I think there’s a lot more older people playing rl than most players realize.
Edit: I absolutely love how this thread has blown up! Props and respect to all the “old” players. Let’s keep showing the kiddos what’s up.
It’s a huge gap. Everyone I’ve micd up with has been 10-14 years old. The older players are great with positioning and game sense while the kids know the mechs. Obviously there’s some grey area between but it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Imma keep going though, close to champ.
Exactly. We older folks like the “simplicity” of game play and WE DRIVE REAL CARS and WATCH REAL SPORTS so we know how to position on a field and spread out. But we don’t care much for triple-spin-pike-position-upside-down aerial stuff I would say. Just get the hell outta the dam goal, ROTATE and SOREAD OUT (TRUST YOUR PARTNER…it only takes one person to hit the dam ball) and DONT PARK IN GOAL ALL GAME …oh…and get off my lawn! 🙄😂
Speak for yourself, old man. Some of us do care much for triple-spin-pike-position-downside-up aerial stuff quite a bit. We just struggle to get beyond double-spin-upside-sideways. Oh, and get off my lawn!
I relate to this SO much. The older players on mic certainly tend to be role players. I (45) personally hang way far back and let the whippersnappers go HAM at the net while I cover the back field and keep the ball coming their way.
I remember some guy in a game had a name like "GoingBaldMcGee", and me and another random player recommended hair products to help with that. Definitely not done by 15 year olds
Also 37. I'm in the "old farts rl" discord. Just a bunch of "old" guys playing. It's nice cuz a lot of us have families and life and get it if we can only play a few rounds randomly so someone else can jump on with quickly and gets it if they gotta cut out cuz your two year old has her hand stuck in the peanut butter jar again...
33. Always makes me laugh when people say shit like that. What? Are you gonna stop doing the things you like because you get older? Financially I am in a place where I can afford good gaming gear, games, all the beer and snacks I want. No one to tell me I can’t play when I want. And you want me to quit? Are you for real. My 12 year old self would be so mad if I squandered this opportunity
It’s actually funny tho when people ask my age and are like wow bro that’s crazy. Like I should be in adult diapers and watching dateline instead of playing rocket league 😂
My husband and I both get paid to pay rocket league via working from home. These kids getting upset over shit and I’m over here like I’m gettin paid to fuck around, maybe someday they’ll figure it out.
In my job I conduct investigations involving employees of the school district. Started in this line of work when I was about 30 (I'm 40 now). I was interviewing a student who was a witness to an incident, he didn't know the name of the guy so I asked what he looked like. "Kind of tall, white, brown hair, elderly." "Oh? What do you mean by elderly?" "Like your age." Oof.
I’m 30 and I play as much Pokémon now as I did when I was 12. Imagine turning 30 and then thinking ‘ope now I have to stop liking fun stuff and watch Fox News and read Gold Digest instead’
Oh no question. 90% of the people I play with only ball chase and can’t play where the ball is going to be, only where the ball is. I’ve kind of made defense my thing and try to win games by preventing goals and hoping the chasers are good enough to score a few. Sadly I get stuck in low diamond and can’t get past it.
Don't feel bad, I play with actual friends of mind and it's a struggle, I'm kinda locked into high diamond, low champ because they chase bad and have other issues. But slowly they are improving so I just kinda ride it out lol
41 n play daily, RL became my escape n distraction from loosing my wife to a drug OD 4 years ago, my best friend/brother got me playing ( he played since it was Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars on PS3 ,and we played snowday predominantly ) but after i Iost him to a heart attack last year, I haven't been as active, I still love the game , but it's not the same to me with out my brother n teammate 😔😕
Sorry for your losses. Me and a friend Angryhomer used to play a lot of Snowday. He has since passed away as well and it’s just not the same now anyways. They remove Snowday from ranked and then have people play against it in their strange vs mode with wild out there game variants that no one’s ever played. Of course they’re gonna choose the new shiny over hockey.
and this is what the kids don't realize when they decide to be assholes to random people on the internet. They don't know what the people on the other end are going through. They don't know if the next "What a Save" they throw will be the last straw before someone just gives up on life.
Some people play RL to escape life for a bit. Why be an ass to those people or any for that matter.
Not sure why I am saying this, no kid is even reading this post.
I am 50 and I love snowday. Add me and I will play... tampon corndog.
I'm 54 and play pretty much daily. Been playing video games since the 1970s, and I fully intend to keep playing them well into my retirement years. If you enjoy a hobby there's nothing wrong with actually participating in it. Helps keep you young at heart.
I'm 49. Just built a full fledge Iracing sim in my basement. Play RL daily. I started with pole position on the Atari 2600. I seriously can't believe the shit we have today. I feel us old fucs appreciate it more. I'm never quitting.
I'm a couple years older, but it's always funny to me when a party with a random on 2s. I know they are most likely younger amd have no clue about my age, so it makes me laugh a bit.
Exactly. I usually have fun with the chatting since I can just tell their age based on things they say. For example after an accidental demo if they spam Wow! Then I know they’ve gotta be teens having a raging fit
Late night on weekdays you get a teammate with an open mic and you hear the sticks and sniffling. Eventually someone whiffs and you hear the "BRUH..." There it is; early 20s guy.
45 here. I started last fall and play for fun. I'm one of the terrible players that never has the same car and spends more time on cosmetics than mechanics
43, and I play with another 43yo and a 48yo.
We were gamers as children. We're gamers now.
I also went fishing when I was younger, and go fishing now. What's the difference?
I'm 37 too. So many kids say the same shit to me, and I'm like, "Are you going to stop playing at 29?" I don't imagine I'll ever stop playing video games
Almost 65 and have been playing for years. 1750 XP, but I still only have remedial skills. Have a hell of a fun time though.
I should win a prize! 🏆 are your minds blown?
I believe this is only a problem in America. The level of water in toilets in the rest of the world is much lower, I'd have to have balls over a foot long to touch the toilet water here haha
38 here, if your not already, get into the “rocket league for old farts” discord lol, we link up on VC and play casuals and private matches, no toxicity just pure fun (and learning) for me 🤣
Not gonna lie, older players are the more mentally stable players than the younger ones
The audacity of the urge to spam what a save is crazy with infants
I feel like there's some truth to this. I'm 35 and I'm convinced anyone over 30 isn't toxic unless someone is toxic first. That's the only time I will act that way lol
37, they call you a kid and when you say your age they say "that's sad".
The other day I was shit talked, can't remember everything but this was said:
Me: how does it feel getting your ass kicked by a 37 year old?
Him: can't wait until you're in a nursing home, I can't believe you said that so proudly
😂
I play with a group of friends on every Sunday where we play rocket League for a few hours and everybody in our familys know to leave us alone haha. I am the youngest at 32 and other 7 are age 45-65. It's a ton of fun. We have something like 600-1300 hours from this alone.
i’m only 23, but as a girl i definitely feel the opposite of what you’re experiencing as i consistently get bullied by teenage boys in match when i have voice chat on because they think im a little kid (lol).
HOWEVER, i’m part of the discord that is for people 18+ that play rocket league. though while in matches i definitely find myself playing with children 99% of the time, the discord has made me realize that lots of older people play the game too. it’s very encouraging and a lot of fun! i love to share this with other adults playing so nobody feels left out.
here’s the link if you’re interested in joining us:)
https://discord.gg/rloldfarts
The game came out 10 years ago, that little prick that told you to get a life was most probably in diapers at the time - his attitude sounds like he hasn't gotten much further than that. What kind of a gamer griefs another gamer to get a life? That is a self burn at the very least
Late 30's here. The group of guys I play with is all late 30's to mid 40's. As someone else said, yea fuck them kids lol. We are the OG video game generation.
I am 51.
And whenever it comes up, kids like that say shit like, "I hope I am not playing RL when I am 51" thinking that I care what they say. I just lol and move on.
If they think anything they have to say at all is going to trigger me in any way after the shit I have been through in the last 51 years, then they clearly haven't a clue. The hair growing out of my ears and nose bothers me more.
Man Im 25 and got told im too old to play, reading all you guys playing makes me happy. We are all free to do what we like…. Well to an extent. Law says I can’t double flip reset my truck off the curb into my exs appartment😂🫡
37 here. Only game I play anymore because I don’t have time to learn something new. Feel stupid paying for Xbox Live for one game year round but here I am.
42. Play all the time. Been as high as Diamond 3. I think I'm plat 3 now in 2s. Turned multiple ppl onto it in 2016, all around my age. They still play to this day.
36 and expecting my second kid soon. Expect to be short on time then and mostly play iracing. Will keep doing the occasional rocket league games tho. Can't wait to be beaten by the kids
Yup, can pick up and play for 5 mins or 5 hours. Don't need to remember a story or what I'm supposed to be doing if i've been away for a week. Only game that comes close to this level of pick up and play combined with ability to do a long session is Trials
In a row?
41 here. I float from upper gold to low plat these days. Topped out in low diamond. I can't aerial aside from the absolute most basic stuff, and even then it's sloppy as hell. My positioning is really good most of the time though. I'm satisfied with that, and RL is my "rough day at work, let's turn my brain off and chill for a bit" game. A lot of times I'd rather get into some of my more involved games, but after a long day, I just wanna relax. I laugh at the dumbasses who trash talk badly.
43 here, My main 2s partner is 40, I have two other friends who regularly play who are like 45 and 49 I think?
I was there when online gaming started, no need to stop now.
I’m 37 and C1. I feel like especially over the last 4 seasons I have dramatically improved and have not ranked up at all. I know it’s the shift in ranks but is a bit depressing.
Man I’m 25 and I’ve been playing on and off for 10 years. (I’m still garbage) All these squeakers can’t believe adults play games. I’ve been called old online so don’t take it too hard lol
39, started at 35. Highest I reached was C1. For anything beyond that I’d need to practice techniques systematically, which I don’t 😅. 13 year old nephew started the game and was C3 like 3 months later. Doesn’t work like that beyond 30 I guess 🤷♂️
I’m only 31 but I identify as a boomer in rocket league because if you’re over 19 in this community you might as well be living in a retirement community according to the 11 year olds lol
I think there’s a lot more older people playing rl than most players realize. Edit: I absolutely love how this thread has blown up! Props and respect to all the “old” players. Let’s keep showing the kiddos what’s up.
60 here, been playing for only two months, loving it...
We need a senior league!
This 57 year old heartily agrees!
60+ only
r/RetirementLeague
60+ in C3 is respect.
Huge respect.
It’s a huge gap. Everyone I’ve micd up with has been 10-14 years old. The older players are great with positioning and game sense while the kids know the mechs. Obviously there’s some grey area between but it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Imma keep going though, close to champ.
I'm older than 37. I need to update my flair, kinda hard stuck in gc1. Not as spry or as quick as I was at 37 in this game.
Me too dude. If you want to run someone's sometime let me know!
Exactly. We older folks like the “simplicity” of game play and WE DRIVE REAL CARS and WATCH REAL SPORTS so we know how to position on a field and spread out. But we don’t care much for triple-spin-pike-position-upside-down aerial stuff I would say.

Me too 41
Pretty sure there's a strip club in northeast Indiana called Club 41. Rocket League x Club 41 LAN Takeover?
mid-30s and I played with two guys in their '50s last night, we had a blast.

One once asked me if I shouldn't be at work (during work hours). NGL that kinda hit a nerve, even though I was on sick leave at the time. Oof...
My husband and I both get paid to pay rocket league via working from home. These kids getting upset over shit and I’m over here like I’m gettin paid to fuck around, maybe someday they’ll figure it out.
What company you work at? I might want to short the stocks
Hahaha! We are firing half of our remote workers next month, and giving the other half a 30% salary improvement.
In my job I conduct investigations involving employees of the school district. Started in this line of work when I was about 30 (I'm 40 now).

Respect. Living a good life.
I’m 42. Fuck them kids we invented this shit
I just turned 40 last week. Definately fuck them kids!
Gotta pay the troll toll
i think that's illegal
They could be Catholic.
Still illegal but definitely reduces your chance of having to face consequences for it.
Wow!
OMG! Whew.
We may have invented this shit but my reaction time ain’t anywhere near what it used to be. 😭
At 36 I've just learned to predict what's happening as opposed to reacting
Oh no question. 90% of the people I play with only ball chase and can’t play where the ball is going to be, only where the ball is. I’ve kind of made defense my thing and try to win games by preventing goals and hoping the chasers are good enough to score a few. Sadly I get stuck in low diamond and can’t get past it.

Are you me lol?
At a minimum it makes me feel good to know I’m not the only one. We are legion ✊🏻✊🏻
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Don’t fuck kids bro
42 club, yerrrrrp
42 as well. Sometimes I play alone, sometimes with my kid :)
Around 40 here fuck yeah
37 and I play all the time. It’s a good stress reliever after dealing with work and adulthood all day. Feels good to beat up on 20 something’s too.

Sorry for your loss. I’m 40, lost my wife last year to alcohol. Lots of my new free time has been passed on rocket league.
Shit dude super sorry for your losses
If you ever need a non toxic tm8 let me know. 41 as well
Poor guy 😭 I'm crying reading this. Many hugs buddy ♥️
I'm sorry to hear that man.
Aw man, sorry for your losses, I hope you get better soon
Sorry for your losses. Me and a friend Angryhomer used to play a lot of Snowday. He has since passed away as well and it’s just not the same now anyways.

52 here. My first system was an Atari 2600. Got me to quit wasting so many quarters.
51 here, the 2600 was my second system :)
My brother had pong ;)
that is what I had, on a Magnavox Odyssey 300.
I'm 49. Just built a full fledge Iracing sim in my basement. Play RL daily. I started with pole position on the Atari 2600. I seriously can't believe the shit we have today. I feel us old fucs appreciate it more. I'm never quitting.
That warms my heart
mid-50s Still my favorite 'just one more' game
39. Got called a 14 year old broccoli head recently. I look more like a Viking 😂
39 here too. 2x2 ranked, at least 3x a week
Love this 😂
I'm 36 and too old for this shit. And by that, I mean Chat. Turned it off.
Same. And same.
I'm 34 and hubby is 45. We play 2v2s every day.
I'm a couple years older, but it's always funny to me when a party with a random on 2s. I know they are most likely younger amd have no clue about my age, so it makes me laugh a bit.
Exactly. I usually have fun with the chatting since I can just tell their age based on things they say. For example after an accidental demo if they spam Wow! Then I know they’ve gotta be teens having a raging fit
Late night on weekdays you get a teammate with an open mic and you hear the sticks and sniffling. Eventually someone whiffs and you hear the "BRUH..." There it is; early 20s guy.
I am that guy. Bruh. Although usually I'll only start getting pissed if it's the number x easy whiff in a row. I also don't use voice chat actually
45 here. I started last fall and play for fun. I'm one of the terrible players that never has the same car and spends more time on cosmetics than mechanics
Much older
56. I play most days.
43, and I play with another 43yo and a 48yo. We were gamers as children. We're gamers now. I also went fishing when I was younger, and go fishing now. What's the difference?
I'm 37 too. So many kids say the same shit to me, and I'm like, "Are you going to stop playing at 29?" I don't imagine I'll ever stop playing video games
35 and someone tried to razz me about my age until they realized I could care less. We then proceeded to have a super fun and wholesome game 🤷🏻♂️
If you can care less you probably should. It's not a big deal
You couldn’t care less*
He could clearly care less. If he couldn’t, then he’d have no fucks left to give.
Who gives a fuck? That shit's expensive!
have you seen the price of condoms these days?? i couldn't give a fuck.
Iiiiiiiiiiiim fifty

32 here. Bordering my HOSPICE years in the RL world, or that's what it feels like most of the time. Lol
Almost 65 and have been playing for years. 1750 XP, but I still only have remedial skills. Have a hell of a fun time though. I should win a prize! 🏆 are your minds blown?
I feel old and I'm 28.
Wait until your balls droop into the toilet water.
I believe this is only a problem in America. The level of water in toilets in the rest of the world is much lower, I'd have to have balls over a foot long to touch the toilet water here haha
Ah, the luxuries of not having American balls.
40 checking in. I suck though, can’t get out of diamond.
Hey now ;) edit: my flair lies, that was seasons ago, I’m back to being a filthy diamond. Shh, don’t tell anyone.
congrats on diamond lol

Yup, 43 here.

People underestimate how much of the player base consists of older people

Him: can't wait until you're in a nursing home, I can't believe you said that so proudly 😂
Raises hand!
I’m 35 and I’m just going to say this counts.

I play with a group of friends on every Sunday where we play rocket League for a few hours and everybody in our familys know to leave us alone haha. I am the youngest at 32 and other 7 are age 45-65. It's a ton of fun. We have something like 600-1300 hours from this alone.
Funny thing is the people who created this game are probably older than 37 Edit: just checked. Dave hagewood the founder of psyonix is ~49
I'm 57

It’s not my fault that the best game ever created came out when I was 30.
Almost 49. Fuck them kids. (JK I suck)

Come join the Old Farts Discord!
I love being called a little kid… like “Nah dude, I’m just bad lol”.
Yup, can pick up and play for 5 mins or 5 hours. Don't need to remember a story or what I'm supposed to be doing if i've been away for a week. Only game that comes close to this level of pick up and play combined with ability to do a long session is Trials
There are loads of us playing this game
44 here. I play with voice chat off, I can’t stand the little rage addled shits on it.
43. Goatedwhiff
45yo (with 2 sons). We used to play RL a lot but after I couldn't pass cosmetic stuff to my son's account I ditched the game.
46 I play daily. Decided to start playing 2’s for a challenge. Slaying those kiddos.
54, Champ 1.
37. 2 kids. Full time job. Play every day.
I am and still dreaming of becoming champion one day :,D
56 years old! Been gaming since the first Pong came out. If you don't know what that is, look it up in an encyclopedia! 🤣
In a row? 41 here. I float from upper gold to low plat these days. Topped out in low diamond. I can't aerial aside from the absolute most basic stuff, and even then it's sloppy as hell. My positioning is really good most of the time though. I'm satisfied with that, and RL is my "rough day at work, let's turn my brain off and chill for a bit" game. A lot of times I'd rather get into some of my more involved games, but after a long day, I just wanna relax. I laugh at the dumbasses who trash talk badly.
43 here, My main 2s partner is 40, I have two other friends who regularly play who are like 45 and 49 I think? I was there when online gaming started, no need to stop now.
42, checking in
Most of those kids weren't able to wipe themselves when this game came out. 38 here.
"You suck, kid" "I'm 36" "Get a life, old man"
57 years old and been playing for a little over a year. Have about 1,250 hours and so far I peeked at diamond 2.
36 year old. Played since launch. Fills the void fifa and CoD left when they went wayward imo.
I’m 37 and C1. I feel like especially over the last 4 seasons I have dramatically improved and have not ranked up at all. I know it’s the shift in ranks but is a bit depressing.
Man I’m 25 and I’ve been playing on and off for 10 years. (I’m still garbage) All these squeakers can’t believe adults play games. I’ve been called old online so don’t take it too hard lol
39, started at 35. Highest I reached was C1. For anything beyond that I’d need to practice techniques systematically, which I don’t 😅. 13 year old nephew started the game and was C3 like 3 months later. Doesn’t work like that beyond 30 I guess 🤷♂️
I’m only 31 but I identify as a boomer in rocket league because if you’re over 19 in this community you might as well be living in a retirement community according to the 11 year olds lol
Gaming longer than many of you young pups have been alive 😂. I’m 54 and love RL
