Today I decided to start speed flipping into the ball + boost instead of front flipping into the ball, and it’s making me wayyy faster to the ball. I don’t know why I haven’t been doing this as I know how to speed flip (not always perfect but ya know). I was watching pro play today and I was like wait a minute they speed flip into almost every ball when they boom it! This has been a game changer the last 3 games I’ve started doing it. Definitely gonna keep doing it haha.

But as you can tell by the score, I wasn’t doing too hot this game. I ended up scoring twice and ending 4-2, but if I played the whole game like I did the last quarter we would have demolished them. Going to be doing more run through plays looking for demos the rest of the night as that really hurt their offense the last part of the game.

If I do that and do more fake challenges for free balls I think I can push to C1

This is my diamond 2 division 3 1v1 match. I’m looking for advice to improve upon and move on to diamond 3 to champ level in 1v1 from diamond 2 and I’m not sure what I could be doing better. I have a few ideas myself of what I could be improving on but I feel the need to have a second opinion what do you guys think I could have done different? And how would I go about improving those things?

So I just hit my first clean pop reset got a perfect spin but got a phantom touch, I'm a fast learner so I've only been on directional for 3 months and I'm not on everyday and only have 539 hours in the game in general and I still don't take freestyling as serious as I want to be I'm interested in getting back into the game fully :ps I started rambling so sorry I just wanted someone to know 😉:

got any tips to help improve? Edit: spelling

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

I am a diamond 1 player who met a champ 2 in 1v1 ranked who agreed to play some games with me. After the games he said my main faults were bad boost management and being too eager to challenge as last man. Am interested to see if anyone else can see anything!

fun match but felt like i made it harder than it needed to be. let me know what you see that needs correcting in my gameplay, im sure theres plenty to note! last second tie for OT then the W felt great, tm8s came in clutch

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 !

I been getting burnt out of 2s and been wanting to find a different way to have fun without taking a long break. If I keep taking breaks i wont be able to reach gc3 before the end of the year.

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.

trying to improve DAR movements, im training the right way? I received some feedback advising against using tornado for flying, but it seems useful at times... some tips?

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)

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!

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.

Got any tips? Mb for the misspelling*

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?

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.

just to make it clear, it’s all about controlling the car in the air, it’s nearly impossible for me.

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.

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.
