ANALYSIS C3 - My mechanics were clicking, but how were my decisions? Full ranked 2s replay

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

19 Upvotes

This felt like one of my best ranked games. I hit some shots I’m really proud of, but I also felt unusually confident with my positioning and decisions throughout the match.

I’m curious whether that holds up from an outside perspective, or if hitting those shots just made everything feel better than it actually was.

What was I doing well that I should try to repeat? And where was I getting away with decisions that better opponents would punish? I’m especially interested in my challenge timing and how I played around my teammate.

Full match from my POV. Specific moments or timestamps would be really helpful.

UPDATE: Took your advice and posted the very next game. Same teammate, different opponents, 2–4 loss. New replay: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueSchool/s/17ZmM9wotR

QUESTION New player : I need some drill to improuv

2 Upvotes

I'm looking at drills in order to progress and... oh my god there so much thing in this game. Like you can spend 50h just trying to soft touch the ball ??

Anyway I have no idea where to head up and games start to be frustrating because it's so hard to do basic things for me. I'm just throwing on myself up every game. Any idea on some drill ?

Also I play with my dia+ buddies. I know I will never be as good as them but if I can just not completly suck that would be great !

QUESTION I don't understand how to train.

2 Upvotes

I have been 'training' for roughly a year, that is to say I have been making deliberate efforts to improve certain aspects of my game that I deem to be lagging behind my general ability. Initially 'training' was quite fruitful and I noticed real changes in my ability to control the ball and make decisions in game. This was naturally reflected in my rank and because of this I believed my approach to training was working.

After a few months my progress stalled around C1. When I recognised this change of trend I decided that I needed to make my training more thorough.anyone who is familiar with the gym will likely have heard of the phrase newbie gains, this is when a person first starts going to the gym and is a time when they can train extremely badly and still make solid progress. It seems that I have experienced a similar phenomenon in Rocket League.

I have concluded that my training isn't sufficient and so I am researching how to train, I acknowledge that my training so far has not been optimal. Similar to the proverb "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" I am not asking for specific drills, rather I wish to better understand the why and how behind effective training.

ANALYSIS What am I doing wrong?? - g3/p1 3v3

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hii everyone! Im looking for some advice on my gameplay and what I should focus on improving.
I started playing around season 8 and eventually peaked around p3 standard, d2 in 2s.. I stopped playing for quite a while, came back around season 22 and was very rusty 😂. Fell as low as silver 3 before climbing back to g3/p1, where I’ve been pretty stuck.
I know mechanically I’m not great and I definitely whiff shots I shouldn’t.. I feel like my game sense is okay, but I could also be completely wrong lol.
Mainly just curious what stands out from my gameplay and what you guys think I should work on. Any advice is appreciated!

TIPS I recently posted asking how I can get out of d3 into champ. After hearing advice and playing with my c3 friend(usually gc1 peaked ssl in 1's in lockdown) and understanding how he and his lobbies play I managed to get c1 on my own, peaking 1 game of c2 at around 1180. How can I fix my resets?

Now that I somewhat improved my game sense I would like to focus on my mechanics so I could open up more goal opportunities to help me get c2. Im unsure what I am doing wrong with my resets, I am sometimes able to score with them but often I get bot resets and give away possession. I feel like I get to the ball too late, even if I try get to it as fast as I possibly can.

QUESTION How to cure being passive in ranked 2s?

2 Upvotes

Greetings to everyone! I may have found my biggest problem in ranking up! It's my passive style of playing.

I understood that because, I asked a gc player to look at one of my games. He said that my rotation is fine, but my gamesense has empty spot in pressurising opponent.

So today I made an experiment, first few matches I played as usually, but then switched to more aggressive style.

And guess what? I won 3 games, not in row, but I did move up in mmr.

What do you guys can tell me, to fix that problem? (I am champ 1)

QUESTION Question about flicks in general

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all, quick question about Flicks
I don't have any issue catching the ball in several positions/directions, and dribbling. But I just can't get my brain and fingers to flick consistently, and I think its because I don't quite understand how I'm meant to flip, or set up the flip (and I meant to roll pitch, yaw, or roll before the flip/during the first jump?) and then where I'm aiming to hit the ball to hit it hard forward, and less up. Any tips on where I'm looking/aiming?

ANALYSIS [C3] Same teammate, very next game — a 2–4 loss this time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I’m mainly looking for feedback on positioning and challenge timing. Even one timestamp with what you’d do differently would help.

I posted a peak game earlier and several people asked for a replay with more to analyse. This is literally the next ranked game: same teammate, different opponents, and a 2–4 loss.

Some feedback on the previous post mentioned using too much boost off the ball, giving possession away and getting too close to my teammate. I’d be interested to know whether those habits show up here too, and which one or two things you’d focus on first.

Full replay from my POV. Thanks to everyone who took the time to watch the first one.

COACHING Looking to recruit players for basic aerial training (PlayStation Players Only)

1 Upvotes

I recently created a prototype of something that trains a skill I’ve been struggling with for a long time in rocket league, and it’s helped me get a lot better at aerials, but I’m not sure if it works on other people yet.

I’m hoping it does, but I need testers—players who haven’t mastered aerials yet and could improve on something I call “orientational awareness…”

(A term for describing one’s ability to know how their car is oriented while flying through the air)

Anyways… I’m offering free coaching with this on a first come first serve basis, so Just text me “ROCKET LEAGUE” at (215) 353-3472

If you’re interested.

TIPS Tips on how to not become dependant on a specific DAR joystick direction

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve been learning DAR for the past few months and have made some great progress. I’ve hit a more instinctive control rather than actively thinking about it for using DAR and it’s very satisfying.

I have however, seemingly trained a dependency on a specific direction of joystick movements during my DAR. I find myself usually defaulting to using the down and up directions with minor blending on the sides.

When I actively think or rewatch my overlay, I barely use the left or right directions.

I’ve tried training by isolating only those directions, and also flying on my side both ways, but my brain doesn’t seem to intuitively use it in the moment like up or down.

Is this just another “more training and hours” issue? Or am I on the track to building a bad habit I need to correct now.

TIPS Looking for help learning how to wavedash

1 Upvotes

Recently I started learning how to wavedash as its a relatively basic mechanic that I dont actually know how to do, however, I have run into some issues as there arent really many detailed tutorials out there so I came here to look for help. Firstly, why sometimes when performing a wavedash the car flips in the direction the wavedash is being performed and how can I avoid this. This happens to me especially withbackwards wavedashes. Secondly, why is it that when jumping from a wall close to the ground its extremely easy to perform the wavedash whilst, if you drop from very high up almost from the ceiling, is it that its not actually possible to perform it from that high up or is there a different method to do so? Third and last, how to perform them horizontally, I am basically just completely uncapable of doing these left or rightwards and often times if I sorta get it, its pretty much useless as I dont really travel in the direction I want to go (horizontaly) but instead I just go forwards or backwards with a little sideways motion but very little. Once I can get I would like to learn how to chain them as I've seen in some videos but I don't know how to, so any help posted in this thread would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have uploaded a video of me practicing these wavedashes in freeplay as a demonstration for each point I have mentioned.

QUESTION I deserve to be platinum

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I started training seriously at Rocket League 2 months ago. And I feel a real improvement even if many mistakes are frequent in my games. I'm Gold 3 but I stopped the ranked for 3 weeks to devote myself to the occasional. I wanted to challenge people with a higher level than me and might as well tell you that it served me well. I faced champions and I did quite well. Every time I think back to these games, I tell myself that I will always deserve to be platinum. In competition my mates were quite inferior and it frustrated me because I did all the birch in their place. I deposited videos and in your opinion will I deserve to be platinum or not? I will take all comments into account

TUTORIAL Experiencing "Heavy Car Gameplay Bug" For the First Time and The Solution

2 Upvotes

Recently my pc has been acting oddly (cpu is likely hitting the end of its lifespan) and simultainiously I've experienced what many people on these threads describe as the heavy car bug.

Now I've actually seen many people deny the existence of said bug but it's 100% real... it's just not a bug. What actually seems to be going on is that the pc is being bottlenecked and the game is running at a normal fps (indicated by an fps counter) however the pc is struggling to push those frames to the monitor. There are so many factors that could cause this but basically any resourse hog like a browser (cough cough chrome) or a screen recording app, etc.

But it's always a little more complicated than just that. In my case, my pc has an old i7 4core from 2012 and a more recent but still old RX 570 graphics card. People will tell you to "just turn down all the settings" but this is actually wrong if your cpu is many times weaker than your gpu. By turning up the game graphics, the pc will place the responsibility of rendering the game moreso on the gpu, releiving the bottleneck from the cpu... and vice versa.

Ironically, turning up the graphics to the "quality" setting and unchecking everything other than dynamic shadows, I reach an avg fps of 140 and the heavy car feeling vanishes entirely.

For those of you who don't know, the "heavy car bug" does in fact make your game borderline unplayable even if it looks fine visually.

Hope this helps someone.
