10 Mistakes Low Ranked Players Make In Rocket League. This is another one of my videos aimed at some beginner level rocket league players, with some beginner tips and tricks. The mistakes in this video are ones that are very easy to do, but also very easy to sort out. Changing them can turn your gameplay around very quickly and so I suggest sticking around to the end to check through them all. There is a small aerial tutorial, but one that is going to be very useful for the lower ranked players. Overall, the beginner rocket league tips, the aerial tutorial, the common mistakes, all of these things will be covered in today's video which I am very happy to get out to you. There are even some beginner training rocket league packs... kinda, they are the basic ones but you know what I mean.
If you are looking for beginner rocket league tips, beginner rocket league advice and some beginner aerial tutorial / beginner rocket league aerial tips, this should be the video for you. Let me know in the comments if you would like any other rocket league beginner tips videos in the near future!

I'm looking forward to putting many of these into practice. I changed my camera settings, and I was surprised at how differently everything looked. It's hard to describe, but it's as if the distances look longer and everything is stretched out just a little. It's going to take some getting used to after playing with the default camera settings for about 150 hours.

[@vishnutheetharappan7074]

[@VCardGaming]

It’s all about hours played. Don’t expect to be KZbin good until you have like 10k hours played lol. Putting in work in practice and free play is the only “fast” way to get good. You don’t get to handle the ball enough in a normal game to really get a feel for it like you do in free play

[@plesu9909]

[@hellothere9807]

him making fun of platinum players: me on silver👁💦👄💦👁

[@nekroneko]

I use controller vibration. I find it useful to have some extra feedback rather than all your hits or being bumped feeling nothing. In fact, the vibration you get through the controller is quicker to react to than the visual information being shown at times. So I would say that piece of advice is situational at best. I'm in GC ranks, so don't feel you need to turn it off.

[@killerking4065]

These are great tips, I will use more often, thanks 😊

Growing up playing actual football, I’ve grown up with the idea that you should keep eyes on the ball, and not the player. I guess I try and implement what I’ve learnt irl into rl, and probably explained why I’m diamond....

[@louiecolenso597]

[@xam387]

When you’re gc and still don’t have all of these mastered

[@Dax_Maclaine]

I am a low gc that has coached a lot of players. My core 5 for plat and below are: positioning, rotations, solid hits, momentum and boost management, and awareness. The last tip you gave is something that I didn’t learn until I was already c3, when a 1700 coach pointed out I was reading the ball not the players. Since then, almost nobody I coach thinks of this. I often ask what their thought process is in certain plays, and they often respond with scenarios that are impossible because of a cars positioning or boost amount. Learning this helped my positioning a ton and it is very underutilized

[@Dumpus7]

I was going to mention something about this as well. I've been playing about a year and a half and I'm Diamond 2, but while practicing air dribbles a few weeks ago, I came to the realization that I intently watch the ball the whole time. And I was like, why do I do that, the ball isn't going anywhere lol. And now I've noticed myself doing it in all situations. I mean, I obviously don't just stare at the ball, but it's mostly watching the ball, with occasional looks around the field. I'm working super hard on changing it, but when something gets so ingrained from doing it so long, it's super hard to break.

[@Dax_Maclaine]

Cody Jackson this is super hard to break, and I’ve gotten to a point where I only really look at a ball when it’s being hit because when it’s not being hit, I know it’s path. I can look around and see players, boosts, etc instead. The best player imo to watch is Bluey. He almost never looks at the ball and plays a very interference based style. He always knows where it is but it’s clear that’s a side thought compared to what the opponents are doing

[@eijin6078]

There were actually a couple things you mentioned that I never thought of doing. My highest rank is diamond 2 and with not knowing some of the things you talked about in surprised in in diamond 2! Thanks for the help! :D
