Epic has made Easy Anti-Cheat a requirement to play Rocket League online, hopefully bringing an end to the era of bots whizzing around in high rank matches and endlessly XP farming. The software comes as part of the game's latest update, and does include an option to play the game offline without EAC running.
The majority of players probably won't notice much difference, but one big change for the more committed Rocketeers out there is the end of Bakkesmod. Bakkesmod is a kind of all-in-one bolt-on that adds a tonne of useful quality of life features to Rocket League: things like automatic replay saves, a more varied training mode, stats during matches, fan-made items, and support for an even wider range of community plugins.
