• Gaining Experience and Leveling Up have been rebuilt from the ground-up
  
  
• Experience (XP)
  
  • You can now only earn XP in Online Casual & Competitive Matches
    
    
  • XP is now primarily based on Match Length, not your score
    
    • You earn a scaling amount of XP for each second of a match, including Overtime, up to a maximum of 20 minutes
      
      
    • A match must be at least 60 seconds long to reward any XP
  • New match XP bonuses have been added, including:
    
    • Score
      
      
    • MVP
      
      
    • Consecutive Games (when you stay in the same Casual server)
      
      
    • Backfill (when you replace a bot in a Casual match)
      
      
    • Weekly Wins
      
      • Each day, you accumulate 2 Weekly Win bonuses, up to a maximum of 14 (one week's worth)
        
        
      • Each win earns +200% XP and consumes one of your bonus wins
  • XP is only rewarded if a match is completed
    
    • Forfeiting a match counts as match completion

    • Goals, Assists, Saves, Clears, etc. all still give Score and a notification

    • Between 3-32 characters
      
      
    • Club Names are not unique
  • A Club Tag
    
    • Between 2-4 characters

  • Club Matches change the team colors and stadium colors to Club colors
    
    • If the colors are too similar, we find a suitable color for one team by first attempting to use their Secondary color, then a neutral option
      
      
    • Club Members who wish to opt out of this functionality can enable "Force Default Team Colors" under Interface Options

• Verification
  
  • Clubs may be "Verified" which adds an exclusive checkmark by their name on the in-game scoreboard
    
    
  • This verification flag guarantees a particular club / player is the "real" one verified by Psyonix
    
    
  • Club Tags and Names are unique among Verified Clubs, but are not globally unique
    
    
  • Changing a Verified Club's name or tag will cause it to lose verified status
    
    
  • Verification will only be made available to select partners and esports organizations
• Cross-Platform
  
  • Clubs support cross-platform membership, but you will not be able to invite cross-platform players until the RocketID system is released later this year

• Implemented a new real-time text filtering system that applies to the following cases on all platforms:
  
  • Player Names
    
    
  • Club Names & Tags
    
    
  • Tournament Names and Team Names
• [Steam] You may need to choose a new player name if your current player name is filtered out

Hoping I'm over the 100 threshold with the XP adjustment. I'm at like level 67 but I've only progressed two levels the last year or so, despite still playing every week (usually 3-5 nights a week).

Really excited that they're moving forward with these, I like the changes.

I'm honestly just kinda shocked I'm so low level considering I have 800 hours in the game.

Oh I know, like I said I'm super happy with these changes. It's exactly the kind of refresh to keep people playing / get newcomers into it faster.
