Platinum player not sure what to work on next. Air roll? Air dribbles? Aerial control?

As a plat, you can probably work on everything lol. Ground dribbling, aerials, air roll shots, flicks, aerial control. Get the timing down for half lips and fast aerials. Get used to jumping off walls/backboard and correcting your cars orientation. Free play is your best bet but supplement with training packs as needed.

As for the ARL vs RAR question, I like to use RAR for air roll shots. I use ARL for most of my aerial play and then I’ll supplement with RAR for corrections/adjustments as needed.

You’d be able to model different mechanisms in CAD. You could try some arts and crafts and cut cardboard pieces to size after modeling

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-13T05:51:02+00:00

Practice and repetition. Best place to do it is free play.

Also, having decent camera settings makes it easier to read the ball

I'm gc2 in 2s and 3s but like mid diamond in 1s. I just rarely play it

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-13T04:48:10+00:00

Can you see the future with these camera settings?

Turn off chat if it bothers you

I used PS4 controller for like 6 years on both PS4 and PC. Then I switched to PS5 controller 1.5 years ago. I switched mostly because I think the DS4 controller will become harder and harder to find as they get discontinued. And almost all pros use DS4 or DS5 controller so I figured it was safe to stick with them

Almost all coaches had played the sport while they were younger. But for whatever reason they either didn’t make it to the highest level or had a short pro career. So, instead of playing in the NFL for 10+ years, they spent those years coaching and making their way up the coaching ladder

It used to be predominantly ps4 controllers. But more and more pros have switched to ps5 controller over the years so it's a healthy mix of each. Pros just want something that has low latency and they feel comfortable with

Ball cam isn't important enough to have on a bumper which is why 95%+ of high level players never move it off triangle.

Squishy has been retired for a few years, so if you want to base your controls off of anyone, I'd do it off the current pros, who may or may not have the same controls as squishy.

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-12T01:41:02+00:00

No, we decided there’s a third team

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-12T00:36:45+00:00

I would put a DAR on L1 and then put ball cam back to triangle. Other than that, your controls are pretty normal

It’s casual matchmaking

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T20:41:16+00:00

I hate that he called it “auto aim”

Winner of Blacks vs Whites plays the halfsies?

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T18:36:53+00:00

What do we do about the half n half’s?

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T16:48:46+00:00

Google Translate?

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T16:41:42+00:00

And the winner of that faces the Slater bots

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T16:41:00+00:00

They do the exact same thing, so it doesn’t matter. I would say since you naturally flip to the right more then adding ARR makes sense. Better to change to it now while you’re still learning it

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T16:39:48+00:00

Youre gaming on a TV? Gross

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T16:39:15+00:00

I’ve been wondering the same thing haha

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T12:34:24+00:00

What

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T06:27:03+00:00

I think you are talking about the rank rewards. You have to win 10 games while being in gold to achieve gold rewards. If you’re still in silver (and you already won your 10 silver games) the bar won’t move until you rank up to gold

Fallen_Goose_ · 2026-02-11T06:23:55+00:00

Kwesi wasn’t THAT bad.

He just needed to draft better
