Rocketleague UI Redesign Concept | Screen 5/5

I've been a fan of rocket league since i first saw the trailer in early 2015. It is the game that I have spent most time on, period.
Not too long ago, Psyonix, the company behind the title (now working under epic games), made the game fully free. Together with this release, they also changed some UX/UI elements for the game. Even though it has freshened up the game (some say), I believe there are a lot of element to the design (specifically the menu/navigation) that are changed, rather to please the eye, than to imrove usability. So, what greater way to do some designing of my own, than to give this my own take, and redesigning some of the rocketleague main menu screens.

Imagine a menu layout (a little like a lot of games these days i guess) that is navigated horizontally between the different screens, or rather subparts of the menu. This way less buttons take up space on the screen, so the player can see more of their beautiful supersonic acrobatic rocket-powered battle-cars.

This is the "esports" screen. Currently rocket league shows you active esport matches with a button on top of the main menu that redirects you to twitch. I feel like it lacks the attractivness needed to draw a larger number of players to watch. I believe a better, and maybe cooler way, would be to have a full screen with information about the ongoing esport event. This way you can track a duel in-game between two teams that you are especially excited for.

It's christmas season. I wish you dribbbler a very cozy and safe winter for the remaining of the year (2020). Stay safe and warm! 🎅🎄🎁
