Rocket League Sideswipe: Different Game Modes
Upon hitting the play button, these 3 tiles will appear before you:
- Duel 1v1
- Doubles 2v2
- Hoops 2v2
All of these modes have different variations in them but all have the same objective: Shoot the ball into the goal!
Duel 1v1
The main theme of this mode is that you will be faced off against another opponent for a time duration of 2 minutes. Your objective would be to shoot the ball into the opponent’s goal and prevent your opponent from shooting the ball into yours. The player with the most points after the time ends will win the round.
This game mode is 1-on-1, therefore you have to be responsible for both scoring a goal and defending your goalpost.
Doubles 2v2
If the Duel 1v1 mode made you feel a bit lonely then this mode will definitely be your favorite. The main theme of this mode is that you and your teammate will be faced off against 2 other opponents of the same team for a time duration of 2 minutes. Your objective will be to shoot the ball into the opponent’s goal while defending your own goal. This mode is both challenging and rewarding at the same time since there are double the amount of players fighting for the goal.
Hoops 2v2
Hoops game mode takes on a totally different game style than the previous two. There are no goal posts here, rather they are replaced with goal baskets similar to basketball. The main theme of the game is that you and your teammate are required to face off against a two-member opponent team for 2 minutes and score the most goals to win. Scoring a goal is a bit difficult here due to the shape of the goal resembling a basketball hoop.

- Goal – Most obvious, scoring a goal gives you +100 points.
2. Be the MVP
MVP or Most Valuable Player title gets assigned to a player of the winning team in Double 2v2 or Hoops 2v2. Getting MVP will add +50 to the XP received and help your rank up faster.
