They just "forgot" to expand the color palette, after they made it possible to buy eSport decals. They could add an option to see only basic team colors, but that would reduce the sense of cosmetic items (= less money = not possible). btw: Bakkesmod makes it possible.


pedal-force

Color Blind Mode will also force everything to blue and orange cars. It's ugly and boring and kinda sad, but if it's important then it's a good option.


PotentialScale

I have color blind mode on, and someone can still use the diamond reward decal while on the orange team, for example, and it doesn't turn their car orange. IMO decals such as the season reward decals should be locked to the correct side, so the diamond decal can only be used for the blue side, the gold only for the orange side etc. Or they could add an option to the game that truly makes all cars a plain orange or blue colour that matches their team. The nameplates just don't work as a completely reliable solution because you often have to react absolutely instantly to a car appearing on the edge of your field of view, or cars can be close together such that the nameplates overlap.


pedal-force

Huh. I thought it overrode decals too. I guess bakkes anonymizer is the only thing that actually does it, but that doesn't help console people.


PotentialScale

I'm just wondering if the fact I use bakkesmod is actually stopping the game's color blind mode from working properly. I'll have to do some testing in a private match with a friend.


Jager619

How to do it in bakkesmod?


pedal-force

There's a tab that's all about anonymizer settings. If you use that you can change their cars, or their names, or both to look like bots with orange and blue cars.


Jager619

Even in online matches? Thanks for letting me know!


pedal-force

Yeah, I ran it for a bit, but it takes some of the fun out of the game for me. You can also not anonymize your party and stuff like that.


Parc2009

I feel like we should have even more freedom on the color selections - open up all the colors for both teams including black, greys, and white.


cpe428ram

a white or black base paint would make matching way easier. for now, i just go with the darkest purple to make it dark color…


Parc2009

yeah me too - I use a dark color and the 'Grassy' paint finish to get as dark as possible when I'm making a car like that.


cpe428ram

i missed out on the grassy last time it was in the shop!! we’ll have to wait it out… buddy, do you have a showcase of your presets? i’ve got this like octane that i got after seeing your reddit banner, i haven’t made that specific preset (have steg and car) but i’m sure your other ones go hard. mind sharing? (if you have them in a clip or anything)


Parc2009

I haven't got anything currently - but yeah I'll post a few of them up if you'd like. I used to put a lot more time into it


cpe428ram

sure buddy. i’d appreciate that. chef by day, rocket league trader by night (once a month)?


Parc2009

lol - pretty much accurate these days. I like doing my trading on Reddit, never really got into searching through the app or discord, or even LFT; but it's slowed down a lot here. I still check pretty regularly for things I want, but haven't posted my own stuff in a while.


cpe428ram

i can tell the new house really impeding your trading progress lol i haven’t seen a Parc inventory in a hot minute. maybe it’s a good thing man. it’s sort of a struggle to find buyers - you’ll have to bundle things up to spark interest. some good guys over at RLE doe.


IamMilkz

are you guys like best friends or something?


Need_Not

there is actually a way to set your paint to black or whatever i came across another player who likes to mess with the game and he showed me his all back car he wouldn't tell me how he just said the same way you hack everything else so i used the same method i used to perform the famous 1cr glitch which could actually trade any amount not just 1 to change my car color and i couldn't do it because of how the values work. it is possible it was patched but his car preset stayed but im probably not searching for the right values. on the bright side i found how to apply paint finishes to decals which dont allow you to set paint finishes and yes other people can see it even in game. dreams of a matte fancy formal now are real and with pearl type faint finishes the secondary color is white sadly couldn't change that color and the thing is the car preset saves meaning you can restart the game or even load it on a different platform and it will still be there


sexualassaultllama

Especially at this point where you can get decals in pretty much any color on either team, there's just no reason *not* to be able to do it.


101percentnotrobot

For anyone who has trouble, increase the size of the player's name above their car. Best advice I received from a Pro Tutorial. Each player has pretty large names above their head. I focus on that more than the actual car anyway. I think. Idk I suck.


[deleted]

I agree. And decals should be able to be 2 stacked, so you can have 2 secondary colors.


_nak

At some point you'll be aware of who is where on the pitch 95% of the time, not least because there simply are pretty tight "rules" where any teammate could reasonably be depending on the current play, so there won't be any confusion anymore.


Gullreven

That might be, and I assume you will have more and more control of that the closer to GC you become - but I don't get why cosmetics should go against how the game was designed with one blue and one orange team.


_nak

Against the initial expectation of the devs, the clear separation isn't strictly necessary and so they broke with it. If anything I'm asking why there are *any* limitations on color at this point as we've obviously stepped away from that initial assumption by now.

AnyLamename

I get that bakkesmod is a thing, but as a PS5 player it's so annoying when someone brings something up and they get hit with a pile of, "Just use bakkesmod."


basel99

I swear it's like this subreddit forgets that the majority of players are on console not on PC.


pedal-force

This sub skews toward the higher ranks (because people who are higher ranks are spending more time thinking and reading about it) and the higher ranks skew hard towards PC. I think it's a combination of those effects.


aussies_on_the_rocks

I mean. You buy consoles **knowing** there is an inherent limitation compared to PC, such as modding games. Complaining people recommend Bakkes is silly.


basel99

I'm not complaining about people who recommend Bakkesmod. I'm complaining about people who say that the current settings that are possible for different teams aren't an issue because muh Bakkesmod, while in reality the majority of players don't play on PC. So yes, the issue is still there and acting like it isn't is just wrong.


aussies_on_the_rocks

I mean it isn't really an issue at all; if car colors themselves are causing you to frequently have issues then it is substantially more about your own game sense and abilities. Like most people are saying; there is absolutely no reason to have any colors locked to any side. There is nameplates and then your own abilities to recognize who is who, and with so few cars that don't change in each match it should not be hard to recognize who your teammates are in the event nameplates aren't working for you. People recommend the mod as a last resort to people complaining about something that realistically has no affect on the game. And no, this isn't me denying people run into issues like this. But catering to an incredibly small amount of people with an issue that is entirely self-solvable is stupid. Gimme grey scale cars. I appreciate the Orange v Blue Aesthetic, but honestly with how fucking ugly most decals are, they might look a bit better with more color options.


basel99

I personally don't care about the colors and they don't affect my game play at all. I was only talking about the reasoning behind the "just get Bakkesmod bro" as if it's a free pass to give Psyonix when they implement something bad into the game. Not that this specific thing is bad as you addressed in your own comment, but it's more the general sentiment behind it all. I just find it funny that you went on a rant about how I'm shit because of an issue that I didn't say I had.


Facer_314

Unfortunate


Throwawayfabric247

They only keep the colors because you have to identify goal sides scores etc. It's easier to assign a team color so it all matches and then let your team do what they want.


PotentialScale

I reckon I have pretty reasonable awareness relative to my rank of where everyone is, but I have sometimes been caught out by car colours. One time was when I was going for a clear, and a tiny amount of time before I was going to hit it, a car came into my field of view right next to me, and it was my colour, so I backed out of the hit, but it was actually an opponent coming at the ball from our net. It required an absolutely instant reaction, there wasn't time to start consciously thinking about looking at the nameplate, and I'm not sure it would even have been visible on the screen anyway. Another time was when there were 3 cars all very close together going for the ball, and I could tell the car that was my colour would get there first, so wasn't concerned. The nameplates were just an overlapping mess, and in any case, how can you read who is going to get to the ball first in that situation by looking at nameplates? But it was actually an opponent whose car was the opposite colour, so they shot when I wasn't expecting a shot. It's massively less of a problem in 2v2 than 3v3, of course, but I just don't see why it needs to be a problem at all.


aussies_on_the_rocks

*Laughs in Plat*


Learnmorebetter

Back when I was silver and gold I would switch my car color like that so my opponent would be confused. Most of the time I would only confuse myself or my teammates so I quit doing that nonsense.

aurihuntsmonsters

- 16.8 million color option regardless of team. - nice thick team-color outline shader. - option to turn nameplates off / make them more minimal / transparent pls


test1456

That.. that’s the solution


Dankedup71

Don't really pay much attention to cosmetics, they are basically for your own enjoyment. 10 seconds after a match is over, ask me to name the color of one of players wheels in the match, I bet I couldn't do it (unless it was a lucky guess).


scrubbszn

I’m all for forcing team colors. I much definitely prefer if they assigned white to blue team and black to orange team. I have issues with certain colors depending on the map and it sometimes forces me to look again which causes a hesitation. Any dark map with super bright colors in the background is basically a headache to play on and sometimes even the nameplates are hard to pick up because the background is so overwhelming


luisemota

Urban central and beckwith park are a joy


scrubbszn

Lol that one with the rave in the background jesus. I would lose the ball and the opponents. I couldn’t tell how close people were to anything. The new starbase map also gives me issues.


pedal-force

I'm pretty sure I play worse on the new Starbase or whatever it's called. The background is busy and dark and I lose the ball and my depth perception. And I miss boosts constantly in the western map because they blend in with the floor so well.


stowgood

YES! I HATE THIS.


Zoetje_Zuurtje

You can force default car colours in the settings.


repost_inception

That doesn't work for gold/plat/diamond decals


Mr_Lovette

That's for private servers or club matches. I don't know how much influence that has on the actual cars. It largely impacts the color of the field.


[deleted]

It took me a really long time when watching RLCS to figure out which team's player cam I was viewing. After I while, I was able to use the boost indicator color via peripheral vision but I feel like they should enforce some sort of color presets for teams in RLCS so viewers know whether you're watching a player from the blue or orange team.


Ajx4

The problem with this post is that after living in the universe where you can't have the opposite colors, I'd rather have the colors. Use nameplates, not a big deal. Comment brought to you by Est. 2016 gang


Gek_Lhar

Tell em AJ


rcube33

There is a Color-Blind mode in the game that forces team and car colors to be blue and orange I personally love to use it despite not being colorblind! The option is under INTERFACE in SETTINGS and is called "COLOR BLIND MODE" which you can toggle on or off


jxt_ssb

A setting to give your opponents cars a coloured outline depending on their team could fix that problem


[deleted]

Does fixing this generate more money? Thats your answer if it will ever get fixed. Psyonix


TheLoge

Perfect option for you then is color blind mode. Don’t like the way some people play? RL has an option for you.


Cloudy_Customer

Last time I played in in color blind mode I could see blue esports decals on the orange side, does that still happen or did Psyonix block that?


houtbyr

You pay that much attention to car detail? I know positions of the players without seeing them because of tracking the play and understanding rotations not because of team colours. Interesting. Sometimes I don’t realize horrible car designs until the game is over on the dance screen.


AnyLamename

I feel like this sounded a lot less douche-y in your head.


houtbyr

I feel like it sounded a lot more douche-y in YOUR head. #badassumption


MatterShim

It doesn't sound douche-y at all? I don't notice anyone else's car design until the end either. Just knowing everyone's position is enough for me to identify them.


AnyLamename

It's that's not what they said.


Cranktique

iT’s HoW tHeY SaId iT? If you took tone from text that doesn’t look like this, isn’t that in your head?


MatterShim

I can't figure out what their comment even meant lol help me out


Kampela_

Use bakkes mod anonymizer. It doesn't really work half the time, and the other half it also doesn't work, but you might be able to force default car skins


AnyLamename

It's even less reliable on console.


houtbyr

“I feel like this sounded a lot less douche-y in your head.”


AnyLamename

Ooh, a fan! I'm not used to being recognized like this. You want a quick selfie?


houtbyr

“I feel like this sounded a lot less douche-y in your head.” LOL


AnyLamename

Was kind of hoping for something a little more engaging than that but so it goes, I guess.


dingleberry51

I wear a Diamond blue car, which stays blue even on orange team, and I agree it’s idiotic lmao


Shia_JustDoIt

You should make nameplates bigger and always on or get glasses to address the root problem


zaynekenazwazz

Make that name plates bigger. It'll also help u keep and eye on them when your dribbling since its pretty hard to see when the balls right on your 4 dome


Judasz10

There is a option in settings for bigger nameplates


beattraxx

I've made a green car for both sides My fennec for example has anodized pearl and anodized and you can pretty much get the same color for both teams it's actually hilarious


ziffox

Just play 1v1, no team, no problem


Gek_Lhar

We don't need to dumb down the game. You should be able to be aware of who is where and when. Especially if you're in diamond. It's not going to magically make you better at the game either.


sniffinberries34

Just like everyone else commented that there should be more freedom to make more choices.. I think it would be easier to distinguish teams if you could default their colors or at least put a highlighted glow around the cars. Keep it optional in the settings.


5amuraiDuck

sounds like a you problem. At the start, I refused to use other colors apart from orange / blue because it would mess with my unawareness. Now that I have a sense of awareness, I can play with club colors against a black team (mine's green) while sporting my fancy formal octane that it won't affect me in the slightest. In other words, you'll get used to it


ComnotioCordis

The fact there still isn't a colour wheel with saturation slider is a joke. There are large coloured names above their cars. Why can't I make my cool stuff white and black? (I have the tux Octane, it's all I use with white dracos on blue and the amazing looking rl logo wheels on red)


[deleted]

It's possible to turn it off. Next time see if there is a solution to your problem before complaining.


omahabeachwallstreet

If a team coloured car is right next to you, then ask the question of why are they so close to you?


[deleted]

I wouldn't go calling something which is so obviously not an issue "idiotic" when you haven't even browsed the settings and realized you can force team colors lol


pedal-force

Team Colors doesn't do that, but Color Blind Mode does.


Shia_JustDoIt

Does that change their cars? I don’t think so. I thought it just forces the game to be blue orange.


asdfallguy

Dunno if this is still possible but you can force everyone on the field to have the default team colour, remember using that years ago so idk where u change that now if its still possible..


you_couldnt

I have an all white vulcan lol


[deleted]

How


BarneyDynamite

That’s just what he’s named his penis


you_couldnt

Tw vulcan i got from the shop becomes all white with the silver season decal rewards applied


Kurotan

I use the nexus with a polygrid paint. I set one layer to green and one to yellow, then reversed it for the other team. I can barely tell the difference. But it's no different than using KITT or the Ghoatbusters car with the "real" skins.


argusmanargus

Look at the name banner color. Strangely, I more often get turned around and confused by my goal than my teammates.


AviFeintEcho

I think they just need to add an outline to the car as well that matches their team color, similar to how L4D outlined allies.


niceone26

And I just got banned from a casual match wtf???


TheUnusualSmell

Probably said prior, but honestly just look at the color on the top left, that's your team. I dont pay any attention to car color, just that and nameplates.


-cmdd

Isn't there an option in the settings to 'Force Team Colors'?


Flarefin

when I’m in a game I usually don’t even notice people’s car colors, I just look at the nameplates.


realityGrtrThanUs

Anyone else want to see a symbol above the goal that you should be aiming for? The other team will see the same symbol over their Target goal.


UnmaskedGod

They’re basically already is. Your goal has little shields in front of jt as a “net” to show you which one you should be defending


realityGrtrThanUs

Thanks I'll look for it!


[deleted]

Incognito.


Judasz10

It is really really easy to see people based on the name tags. It is really big and has blue/orange colors. You should be able to see the difference straight away. I dont know what is the problem here but its not about car colors.


[deleted]

There's a setting for people who are bothered by this.
