Overall my experience playing this game has been positive, but I can’t shake the feeling that this is a very barebones version of what this game was meant to be, and was rushed into being released. The mechanics are fun, the season pass grind is addictive, and it’s a huge boon to have no micro transactions. It just feels like it’s missing the characteristics to give it staying power. The shop never rotates out, which makes me feel like these are the only skins/emotes that have actually been created. And the majority of cosmetics are locked behind career mode grinds, so if you want the cool Win Emote you have to beat the quidditch world cup bot teams 80 times (assuming you win every game). There is no Ranked PVP, so you’re forced to play with randoms at varying skill levels; almost every game is decided within the first 2 minutes. But when the stars DO align and theres a buzzer beater snitch grab or a game down to the wire, it’s an absolute blast. tldr; its a really fun game but it’s a $30 beta, and I really hope it gets the fundamentals down that have kept games like Rocket League and Fortnite around for so long
