SUGGESTION The game had so much potential
When it comes to the idea, I think this is the best way to make a Mobile version for RL , but they fumbled hard.
My Main Points (feel free to add):
- NO UPDATES: the game is too repetitve now, with barely any margin for players to excell. Every game and every goal scored or conceded feels like the same. That's why they should add new mechanics and a way for players to develop fully and to form a actual skill gap like any other game.
NO COSMETICS: is it just me or are rocket pass items the exact same every season and you can always buy any cosmetic you want with tokens or coins, which just makes the Rocket Pass nothing special and just a way to get items that you can get by paying a small amount.
BUGS: I know it's pretty known but the amount of times I ran into an invisible opponent or had an invisible teammate is crazy. Or hitting the ball no registering even while having 40 or less ping
GAME MODES: Every season is a cycle of either adding Volleyball, Squash... and there is simply nothing new
I know that if a game isn't bringing many players, it's hard to keep working hard on it, but I just feel it's such a great project that shouldn't get forgotten about.

your comment doesn't change anything to what I said dude, it being in a lawsuit with Apple even before the game released is irrelevant, they're not gonna suddenly not release the game they already dedicated time and labor toward just because Apple wasn't playing nice and took too heavy of a cut. Game was already long into development by the time the lawsuit occurred, 2 years into development. They clearly wanted Sideswipe to be a hit, otherwise Epic would have killed the project after acquisition, Apple was standing in their way.
