Ok, I’ll grant you the physics are what they are. But a football is not a baseball, so why in any world would you expect your memory of baseball to even remotely translate to the physics of a football, even if they were realistic?
Remotely? Because both the European-spec football and the baseball, despite one being heavier than the other, will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height.
Like you said, physics are what they are, so you know intuitively where you need to go to catch a ball going that high and that fast,
and rocket league is doing it wrong. err, I mean, not working in Earth gravity.

That might be true in a vacuum and if their densities were the same, but in real-world conditions, air drag would be greater for the football since it's obviously larger and less dense, and it'll reach the ground afterwards.
Sure, but they're still on the same planet, where gravity is 9.8m/s^2, so accounting for all that isn't as big a difference as Rocket League, which takes place on a digital planet, where gravity is 6.5m/s^2.
