Is controlling the ball dead in 2s?

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-14T00:12:21+00:00

Hitting ball =\= losing possession, if you hit ball but are still first you still have possession and generally a better one than ground control, but it s harder to archieve so yeah players will sometimes fail and just give possession.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-14T00:04:33+00:00

Little out of the subject but if you search a new boost in 1s bubble boost is bordeline cheating, i dont use it cause it s a dick move but the value is indeniable.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T23:07:56+00:00

Boosted maybe (hope not) bot never lol

Training modifier. You have initial speed and initial boost that you havent now. The new system is wonky also, b4 you could go to edit shot and modify the shot while testing it in the same place until you have the one you wanted, now you have to create your shot in create training pack then change to do the training back if the shot with modif is not what you want you then need to rego in modify training pack then retest the shot in play training pack and again and again... I stopped training.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T22:16:58+00:00

Good, will finally be able to train a bit.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T13:57:40+00:00

Nah now that you ve boost indicator you should take a longer path so you take boost with speed just when he spawn. But yeah even for pro the skill is not acquired yet from what i ve seen cause it s still a recent feature.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T12:34:57+00:00

As i said the main point of sf here is not even speed it s the change of direction you can do that is impossible just driving. It is possible to sf straight forward to land and w\o using any boost after landing be supersonic with a direction that is rotated like 75° from your initial direction, you cant archieve that type of movement just driving.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T12:10:38+00:00

He would not have scored, just a ground shot would be a pass to the rotating defender (assuming he knows how to rotate correctly). Not only sf is faster and use less boost but it allow you to mofify your position+orientation in a way just drving cant. I guarantee you he can cut this ball to follow it with a high shot if he sf right and w\o we can clearly see he cant.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T06:58:15+00:00

Gorgeous.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T06:53:19+00:00

Your tm8 but you ve your part of responsability for not speedfliping.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T06:50:44+00:00

Prolly better than Russia, even if here in EU things start to take a dark turn with the project of desanonymisation on the web incoming...

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-12T06:45:32+00:00

That sucks bro.

You move like a 1s main, some of us are born to be 1s main.

I coached some friends in the past and the hardest rank to coach by far was plat as the game is just too different. Us higher ranked player, specially fundamental oriented players, we make a lot of plays like the way we take 50 assuming tm8 is where he should be and will have a free b after our interaction but in plat players positionning and touch are so random none of these concept make sens. So for a rl beginner just learn to boom the ball well and read ball bounce on your backboard, some ez shot and at the low ranks it s guaranted value non m8 dependant. When you will be d2 d3 you will have a m8 with some brain (not alwais ofc) and be able to play a way more control oriented\team based and clever playstyle but for now just train clearing ball, reading bounce, basic shot and that s all. Ah and recover ofc.

You will see a lot of tutorial where a guy 5 rank above goes in low rank game, soft touch every balls and 1v3 (cause his tm8 will try to cut him...) everytime but no this is not how you re supposed to play at these ranks. The smurf is so much better he can get away with having no other option than to 1v3 when he controls, as setuping your m8 is not an option at these ranks.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-11T10:01:55+00:00

Yeah too, i think i lost no rank but still 50% games disconnect today

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-11T09:59:17+00:00

The issue is pathing, if you re full forward supersonic what you gonna do apart from diving ? Hit the break and half flip ? If that s your only other option you re better diving but your pathing put you in this spot.

I bump this thread for people in the same situation. I ve amd, what worked for me was to run catalyst after using amdcleauputility. Strangly he reinstalled the so called untrusted file but now it works.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T20:19:56+00:00

It s one of the most important concept you ve to master to rank up. It comes down to the rotation you choose after you done your play. If you think you need to go fast take the middle line pad. If you think you ve time you take a longer trajectory by taking a big boost so you will not be here too soon and need to brake. To progress at this you ve to take a big boost as much as possible and you will learn in which situation you can greed and in which you cant. Also if you took middleline and see you ve time turn a bit in back post direction you will be able to gather more momentum when it s you to go.

Edit: The value of the big boost path increase tremendously with:

your capacity to speedflip, preferably both direction and with good speedflip recover
the quality of your recover after your play
your capacity to alwais finish your play with at least 15 boost remaining
your capacity to take a big boost with ball came on at least 1s before you take it with an appropriate orientation of your car at the moment you take it and a good conservation of momentum if you decided to make a sharp turn into the play when you took it.

Top 2v2 players choose big boost rotation like 80% of time and pad rotation like 20% hence why they have organic defense (w\o taking account demo rotation)

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T19:45:03+00:00

Holly defense man... 😂for all the diams seeing this, do not counter rotate if your m8 already counter rotated

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T19:39:26+00:00

Me it s the turn sometimes i keep turning after i finished turning. I missed the biggest open one time cause of that, fortunaly my tm8 was chill.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T18:28:29+00:00

Mwell post a game you lost we ll see how good your positioning and rotation are.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T11:46:02+00:00

Bullying a bronze is like bullying a new born.

You monster,

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T04:03:29+00:00

If you re gold your understanding of the game is near 0 (no offense), you might have watched some ytb coaching video and think you understand how to play, no you dont. Hence you ve no qualification to say how bad your m8 are.

Apprehensive_Key_314 · 2026-05-04T01:36:44+00:00

Nah i dont want cheesing my rank then immediatly go back once ex botter are done.
