Rocket League<\/em>‘s stalwart players have had enough. For over a week, fans have been complaining that the game\u2014it’s soccer with screaming<\/span>customizable cars\u2014is being terrorized by a bot trained with machine learning, and that developer Psyonix is \u200b\u200bdoing nothing to save them from it.<\/p>\n

The offending \u201cGod-tier\u201d<\/span> bot is called Nexto, one of many Rocket League<\/em> boots trained by the application programming interface (API) RLGym<\/span>which treats \u201cthe game […] as though it were an OpenAI Gym\u201d through bot-against-bot tournaments<\/span>. While most of the available RLGym bots do not use machine learning (which lets algorithms make predictions based on sample data), the couple-months-old Nexto does, and it uses it well<\/span>.<\/p>\n
