TL;DR

‍

Rocket League's Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) went live April 28th, cancelling matches mid-game if a cheater is detected and keeping your MMR safe.

The downside: BakkesMod is shutting down for good and no longer works in online modes. Psyonix is filling the gap with native MMR display, custom training randomization, and other built-in features.

Ballchasing still works but requires manual replay uploads now.

For trophi.ai users, nothing changes. Replay analysis, AI coaching, and performance tracking are all EAC-compliant and fully operational.

BakkesMod Is Shutting Down For Good.

‍

On the same day EAC went live, BakkesMod officially announced it is sunsetting. After nearly ten years, the project is ending active development. That means the question is no longer just "will it work with EAC?" but "will it work at all going forward?"

All plugins will gradually stop working and online features are essentially gone.

Because EAC blocks third-party code injection during online play, BakkesMod can't run while you're queued into ranked or any other online mode. 

It still works offline (free play, custom training, LAN matches, and replay viewing) but without new updates, it'll slowly break as Rocket League continues to update underneath it. Learn more about Easy Anti-Cheat in this article.

What Psyonix Is Adding to Replace It

‍

Psyonix didn't launch EAC without a plan. Several features that players have relied on BakkesMod for are now built natively into the game:

‍

• MMR Display: You can now see your actual MMR in competitive playlists without a third-party tool. This is one of the most requested features the game has ever had, and it's finally official.
• Custom Training Randomization: The ability to randomize custom training packs is now native.
• Default Team colors in Free Play
• Fine tuning settings for The Flip Rest Indicator.

‍

Steam Workshop maps are still available with or without EAC enabled.

‍

What About Ballchasing?

‍

Ballchasing is still around but automatic replay uploads are gone. You'll need to upload replays manually for now. It's an extra step, but the platform isn't going anywhere, and your replay data is still fully accessible once you get it in there.

‍

For tournament organizers and creators who’ve built broadcasts using overlay plugins like SimpleAOB’s, a new StatsAPI feature is included in this update that lets you pull data directly from the game to customize your broadcasts. A new setting in the options menu also lets you toggle the visibility of the in-game HUD so you can overlay your own assets.

‍

What About trophi.ai?

‍

The trophi.ai team prepared ahead of time to stay fully compliant with EAC. Overlays are gone as a direct result of the anti-cheat restrictions but Replay Analysis, AI Coaching, and Performance Tracking are completely unaffected and work exactly as before.

‍

On top of that, you still get Live Game Insights after every match, so you have everything you need to keep improving. Nothing changes in terms of how you review and develop your game with trophi.ai.

‍

If you're not already using replay analysis to break down your games, now's a good time to start. With lobbies playing more consistently, the patterns in your own mistakes become a lot easier to spot. Start coaching your Rocket League game with trophi.ai.
