Lemme know a tip that wasnt included, get a lil thread going

[@brixbuildz]

have good teamates

[@mz21-]

Stop playing Roblox

[@orqen8378]

Stop crying about bad teammates just make sure you play your best.

[@inha1ed]

[@flade-]

Freeplay ball controls U don’t know how critical it is

[@MavroLive]

After watching this video, I went from silver 2 div 3 to SSL, Musty asked for coaching, my wife came back, I bought a mansion in Beverly Hills AND I plugged a USB in the correct way on the first attempt. Thank you for this video Mr. Thanovic, I am forever in your debt.

17. For the Side Flick make sure to HOLD JUMP and try to position the ball on your car further towards the side you will flip to. Good luck!

[@henrybarker8291]

Sorry could you be a little more specific. Like when do I hold it down?

[@XxlegendxX-wz8it]

@@henrybarker8291 when you jump first

[@tb_clan3585]

Best tip for new players. Don’t boost up the sides taking every boost pad, work on boost reservation and also take a minute to see if your teammate has a better clear

[@BillyOrBobbyOrSomething]

I feel attacked. Jk thanks

[@dustinnorris1859]

Mind your own business

[@Cleb_0]

1. Wasting boost 2. Leaving no boost for anyone including teammates

[@coreygoescrazy]

I play solo

[@carlg6588]

Instructions unclear. I waited for my teammates to clear & a few mins later the game ended. 😂

[@schwachangefangenstarknach8238]

1. Use Powerslide for recovery 2. Use walls instead of boost 3. Kickoffs 4. Face the ball 5. Don't use boost in defense 6. "Miss" shots

[@Felix-co]

Blud is telling us to miss all of our shots💀💀💀

[@JohnGabanna12]

What a save! What a save!

[@NickF-dl3hb]

Nice shot! OMG! Nice shot!

[@iamnotjcook]

If you have an accessible extra button, binding it to air roll l/r is great. I have an extra bumper but using X is hard to hold when you want the perfect, fastest sideflip flick or to learn the Jzr meta flick. If you haven't tried either, I recommend it

[@OhhJim]

Tip #1-20 for new players: Don’t ballchase; trust your teammates; get in position to receive a pass; don’t back up into a guy behind you when he says, “Defending”.

[@BillyOrBobbyOrSomething]

First time hearing that word but I think I ballchase because I play like Kobe 😂

[@OhhJim]

@@BillyOrBobbyOrSomething If you have Kobe’s talent, that’s fine. Most don’t, and need to play like a tight end, I.e., get into position, don’t chase your quarterback around, trying to take the ball away from him.

[@editsby_dbd]

But my teammates are bots 😭

[@roughryder5]

Having played this game for 5 years and only reaching Champ 1 at the highest...these are solid tips. I'm aware of most of these, but 2-3 of them were eye opening for me

[@JayTheChippy]

Gonna watch this a few times over. A few things have made me even learn mechanics and know how to improve my gameplay. Thanks my guy

[@megapeepz1696]

me too

[@slysusanoo8110]

I feel like a big tip is to not using both jumps off the wall to hit into the ball. Space it out. One jump to get off the wall (while trying to line your car up with the ball) and using the second jump to flip into the ball. A lot of people make that mistake and I'm finally getting rid of that habit.

[@tokufire8989]

Pro gameplay has helped me learn how to air dribble and recover very well. I always look at their first touches, or how they play a 50/50, or how they land. Sometimes they'll mess up but nobody is perfect

[@PureShmental]

Other tips for new players. Learn to aerial and double jump Learn how and when to use the brake. Playing against bots in custom match is great for practice and you can scale the difficulties and eventually try 2v1 or 3v1 Play 1v1 as it helps you learn how to defend better. Watch replays when you lose a goal to see what you could have done differently or to see how your opponent managed to score. Don't worry about losing, focus on improving as a player. Win or lose

[@nickss14]

also half flips are super important for recoveries and akward saves

[@uziiii.-.999]

Got any tips for shooting i always miss and hit the edges of the goals

[@PureShmental]

@@uziiii.-.999 Honestly its mostly just practice. Find a good training pack with different angled and speed ground shots and repeat, repeat, repeat until you can consistently get good power and on target. Finding the sweet spot on your car can help too with getting the power, usually the front corners. The accuracy will come with practice. I've played the game for 6years, spent a ton of hours in training packs and free play but still miss open nets. So don't worry, we all miss 😅

[@uziiii.-.999]

@@PureShmental ok ty btw should i shoot with the tires or the front of the car?

[@PureShmental]

@@uziiii.-.999 what car do you use? I think there's a few good videos out there that cover the different hitboxes for the different cars. That should help you understand a bit better where to try shoot with

I put these all in a game and went from plat 1 to gold 3 thanks a lot Thanovic

[@sterlingfreeman7260]

I will use this as a guideline for improvement. yes, I have been playing the game a while now so most of the early tips in the vid I already know, but it is good to know there is a simplicity to the approach of how you should focus on certain gameplay points that you made. Thank you!

[@jasonprovencher7432]

Ty I really needed that, I have being raging way too much these past 2 month and with your video I calmed down and focused on my improvement!!

[@BillyOrBobbyOrSomething]

Not to be aggressive homie but getting mad at a video game is no bueno mental health wise. I’d think about life and skills outside of the game first if you catch yourself doing that. Remember it’s always just digital car soccer at the end of the day 🙂

[@DanielaBagagem]

Another I would add that is on my list of things im working on is catching clears. Ties into your first touch combined with planning your landing after a touch because sometimes you cant do a perfect catch and have to hit, recover and that will be part of your catch.

[@thethrower5683]

Man I freaking love your voice so relaxing

[@iamthebubb]

I played about 340 hours over a year or two, now those hours were nearly all drinking with friends, and I did not get any better during this time. Now for the past 10 hours of the game has been training packs and freeplay and I'm already ridiculously better than I was

[@dem6459]

ayo im in this video. dunno what i was doing LOL

[@gizzyIizzy]

These are great tips for every rank! I am finally learning the right mindset to learn mechanics!

[@Haplo-san]

Not only the "camera shake". Changing graphic settings from shinning bright fancy to least shiny rewarded me with a couple rank ups immediately. Turn off anything distracts you from the ball, ambient occlusion, depth of field, bloom, light shafts, lens flares, dynamic shadows, motion blur, weather effect, effect intensity, anti aliasing. Turn off everything except transparent goal post. Set render quality to high, texture detail high performance, world detail and particle detail to performance. That's it. Edit: Oh also increasing size of name plates to 150% is also good. You can tell a lot just by looking their nameplates.

[@snomuffinz]

Why FXAA off?

[@nndrww]

It sucks that I can't turn bloom off on PS4. Using standard was so annoying in dark maps. I quit the game because of this.

[@Techdeeni]

Great video bro. You covered just about everything I struggle with in this game. The camera settings alone made a huge difference. Thanks!!!

[@TheAverage_French_Main]

Rocket League. It’s a sad game when you really sit in my shoes (or headset). My team8s are always trash, miss perfect, we’ll places passes and plays, miss easy saves and positions they put themselves in. They bump me when I go for an air dribble and sit right behind me and ball chase the entire game. They can’t even get into the air or dribble, and come one. Your in Diamond lobbies! I also dislike the people who go”well actually, if you send me a replay I bet it’s actually your fault,” and “you get the rank you deserve.” Those kind of people are the lucky ones who don’t have to deal with what I am, and it turns out, most of them are lower ranked around Diamond or plat, (which is a joke (sorry diamonds)) My “rank” is Diamond 1 Div 1, but when I play with my champ 2 friend, I easily carry him half of the time and win many games. I even had my GC friend look at all of my gameplay for a day and tell me if wasn’t my fault. My match making was just unlucky. The ratio of bad to good team8s is (and calculated) 1:9. I have to carry half of the time, and afterwards play terribly after 5-6 games because of frustration. I’m done wasting time on this game when I could be doing other things like spending time with family and learning my guitar, playing piano, going on hikes and camp outs. Anyone who made it to the end, remember this. “Is a video game really worth hours of you life you will never get back, and that may leave a profound negative effect on you?” Thank you for your time. This was my Ted Talk. 😂 (true story though 😢)

[@Tevictr1123]

Extremely relatable

[@scottwatts35]

Running in to Thano in casual knowing you're gonna see yourself get scored on in his next vid 😁😪

[@TheAJP]

My best and most underrated tip for players is don't flip into challenges 100% of the time rather save it for the recovery. This way you don't remove yourself from the play for too long

[@matheuselice6532]

yo thank you so muich i got way better on my second game i carried my team with 2 defenses and 3 goals thanks dude.

[@abrahamordonez7137]

Thank you Thanovic. I'll try to do the tips you gave us. 😄

[@tricksy7094]

Gonna recommend this video to every ranked teammate I meet. Thanks. 😊

[@chmuurkaa3030]

If I may throw something from myself. Appericiate it when you get to play against a smurf. See how they are abusing your mistakes, even if you didn't even realize it was a mistake before, and analyze their actions as response from what you're doing. It's literally like getting coached by someone way better, except for there being no communication

[@b_jwright24]

[@TheOutlineLife]

This video honestly boosted my confidence bro I honestly do always downgrade myself even tho I'm one of the high ranks I need to just stop beating myself up and play the long term game frfr

[@rangersnut]

This video made me think about what I am good and bad at it in the game. Mostly bad. Lol. I am good at long distance shooting and goal keeping, and if someone hesitates and doesnt move at kick off I am curling the ball past them into a free goal. That said my positioning m, needs work, and I can't dribble on command or air dribble at all. Though I can hit some good aerials. I also have a tendency to ball chase and rush sometimes under pressure. Your video made me realise I have a lot to work on in training to get better. I will use the training.

[@allangoodman7534]

Couple extra tips is angels use angels to either cut off your opponent’s or to make a play / shot on the ball . Don’t ball chase the best way to score or set up a goal is to use the open field. Make a play off your opponents play. Defense is key and always use ball cam. Make sure you use the hockey technique LW C RW . Don’t try and be in the same place as your other team mates if you’re in the center and the RW misses the ball you advance and pass it over to the LW who moves to Center . If the RW makes the pass you take the shot if you miss the shot the LW sings over to take the shot. Do that for goalie as well. Always rotate offense defense goalie . Don’t ever hit the ball sideways hit it forward with momentum don’t always try to bump the ball after your first miss usually you have other team mates who have a better look if someone’s flying to hit the ball and you just bump it they fly past you and miss the ball just lands there and the other team has a free shot with two opponent players out of position . Never go backwards no boost that way. DONT BE A BALL HAWK . Don’t chase chase chase it’s off ur team mates opportunities .

I started playing last week , just got the hang off it after practicing goalie for awhile .
