This Is Why You Stopped Improving In ROCKET LEAGUE

[@SpookLuke]

If you feel like your progress in Rocket League has hit a wall, this video is for you. This video reveals the top 5 concepts as to why your progress may have hit a plateau and provides simple fixes to get back on track. 🔴DM the GCB "RLCS" For Coaching: tinyurl.com/jy8wunr6 🔗Join The Discord: tinyurl.com/jy8wunr6 🎯 Key Takeaways: 00:25 🔄 *Habituation In Rocket League* - Habituation is the process where repeated actions become habits, often unnoticed. - Watching replays and seeking real-time feedback can break the habituation cycle, helping you identify and address bad habits more effectively. 03:11 🧠 *Playing With The Wrong Mindset* - Two mindsets in Rocket League: "Just for fun" and "Focused." - Focusing on improvement without distractions, analyzing mistakes, and learning from top players' habits can significantly boost your progress. 04:54 🔄 *Theory of Constraints in Rocket League* - The theory of constraints suggests that focusing on the weakest link in your game can lead to the most significant improvement. - Identifying and addressing the key constraint specific to your gameplay can expedite progress. 06:45 🤹‍♂️ *Focusing On Too Much * - Focusing on too many skills simultaneously can hinder overall improvement. - Prioritize whether you need to enhance mechanics or game sense, tailoring your practice accordingly. 07:55 📈 *Skill Inflation* - Skill inflation, the rising overall skill level in the game, can make progress seem slower. - Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on personal improvement to maintain a positive mindset.

[@nighttimeserenity2447]

Working on my awareness, occasionally switching training target for optimal motivational interest in the topics i may not be as enthusiastic about. Increase the overall effort i could put into improving. But my hardcore tunnel vision tends to screw me up, born a bit more tunnel visioned as it still happens easily. My main problems are focusing on the players and what they might do, opponents or teammates. Practicing proper rotations, or defend when mates actually stomp you into the dirt. By that i mean they take your balls and do too many mistakes. Although maintaining a proper mindset of less negativity is also a work in progress! Thankfully my brain doesn't overheat too much as it used to last year, or earlier this year. ------------ Keep working on keeping your words in mind Luke! Saving your videos to make sure i can always find back to them. Glad for the words you share, as it draws back my mind to things i might have forgotten, or actually not known!

[@briangentry3714]

In theory sure. If it's early in the game or if it's still a close game, no ff. I feel like if it's 7 to 0 with less than a minute left, you're not going to magically make a comeback, so it's probably ok to ff in some situations

I have put this video in my notes 📝 for advice I always do this on a new spookluke video so I can guarantee that I have all the rl hacks.

[@ObsessionTheCat]

You forgot to add that other players are getting better and lower ranks are filled with smurfs and boosted players and psyonix keeps lowering mmr on every season so more and more better players drop to lower ranks. So if you want to rank up, you need to be getting better faster than others and play a lot as then you can beat the odds to get unbalanced matches.

[@SpookLuke]

video on this coming soon!

[@NoxiousMob]

Before watching this video I thought watching replays is a good way to improve. And your first point was watching replays. After getting stuck in gold for months on end I got a capture card and started reviewing my games. In just a couple of months I not only broke through plat but made diamond. There are many tools to help improve, find the ones that work for you and realize training mode is not the only help you have.

[@BouncingDande]

thanks for the VODs, ive been learning a lot from your lessons

[@succupon]

Took a year long break and came back in October and have been getting my 💩 handed to me. There's so many new mechanics. Used to be C2, I just climbed out of Plat up to D2. The average skill of players has risen a lot in the past year.

[@flamey7198]

The community is gonna rank up slower once you retire Luke.

No way SpookLuke listens to screamo. That's awesome

[@Youtubian392]

Gotta admit it's nice that someone has such a based take on higher level grind. I never knew at the beginning that when I got to gc and up I'd be so unhappy with my own gameplay and have so much trouble enjoying the game. Meanwhile while I was in gold I was having the actual time of my life.

[@mikeweeks2078]

Oh no shit I was playing so good hit champ then all of a sudden I forgot everything dropped back to d2 😂

[@justno4035]

hey Luke, can you make a video on how to consistently maintain your form for a long time. Sometimes I have really good days and really bad days, but instead of having a bad day can you turn that to a mid day?

[@Vestean]

on bad days, try freeplay drills. then go back into ranked after your confidence is up

[@marcuswyatt5300]

I know i could get better cuz im only a plat but idk what to do to get better. Like ik im doing stuff wrong cuz im not carrying an i lose so freaking often but im not good enough to detect where my mistakes lie. None of my friends play RL. I need a coach but im broke. (Also saw a sneak peak at your music playlist, good stuff mate)

[@shadowking3086]

i can do the rest, but what if my friends are worse than me in rocket league and am unable to get a coach to watch me in real time? i can watch my own replays, but im not always seeing my mistakes due to what i think is right. maybe i am just not watching my replays the proper way

[@shabbatronjo3071]

You could/should watch replays of the pro's. It gives you an upper benchmark of how they play in certain situations. All educational if you are watching to learn. Also, with the amount of content Luke alone has put out there, spotting at least some errors in your play (no matter who you are) shouldn't be too hard to spot. If you watch enough of your own replay's you will see your own patterns, further helping you see bad habits. Quite possibly your best video yet, touching on things only someone who has come a long way can truly know.

[@marshallteach9006]

I think you should watch replay analyses on KZbin. Chances are, people the same rank as you make similar mistakes. Regarding your replays, you could watch them from the MVP's point of view and look for what they did differently than you.

[@reddleyTV]

Didn't even notice the haircut until you mentioned it, you handsome devil.

Thank you! Such a helpful video SpookLuke

[@chadbajoie7878]

Here’s another tip… buy the rocket pass and items. It will help your EOMM (engagement optimization match making). Yes it’s a real thing that is hindering players or giving them a false sense of accomplishment.

The gameplay vs training sht called me the fk out my mechanics out passed my game sense bad

[@OutCastMediaCA]

My buddy constantly checks his phone during games and we lose. I’m c1 and he’s d2/3 but he’s a champ level player. It’s so frustrating but I don’t wanna come off like a dick so I don’t know how to say what I need to make him play better. If you’re losing it’s mostly cause your teammates aren’t fully there as much as they say they are

[@ripit.3457]

If he’s your buddy, the easiest thing you can say is “hey dumbass, let’s play the game”

play with a garb teammate. you’ll be forced to carry him and you’ll learn rotations better. but train everything that speeds you up. (speed aerials, speed flips, wave dashes, half flips, etc.)
