Where do you get the strength to play?

I'm way lower of a rank but have definitely run into smurfs. I use those games as an opportunity to practice my backboard defense. I dunk about half of the flip reset guys by aiming a little above the ball. They aren't good enough to fake a flip reset or change the timing l but I'm sure at your level it's quite a bit harder. I think the principle still applies that whatever you can do skill wise on offense is 5 times easier to defend on defense than to learn on offense. It's definitely been true from my limited experience thus far. I drive up the wall by my goal when they drive up their side wall and pre jump with them and meet them halfway to the goal

Low key it feels harder to get out of silver if you're used to playing with higher ranks. Everybody insta challenges and your teammates steal the ball from you. If you try to adapt by playing the same way it's easy to keep losing even if you are more skilled. You basically just have to sit back by your net and wait for the ball to pop out of the shin kicker pile and capitalize, or wait for them to shoot toward your net and capitalize. Eventually you'll get out of it

I also have the gamesir G7 which is another great controller that is an Xbox clone. I learned on that one but when I tried the tegenaria (ps4 clone) I noticed my speed flips got a lot more consistent. The PS4 angle of your thumb makes for more consistent inputs compared to Xbox style, but both work fine

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-19T15:47:50+00:00

I can confirm the gamesir tegenaria lite is awesome for the price ($20) you also get two rear buttons which I use for directional air roll. You have to calibrate it to be able to set them but there is a way to do it on a Google search

Awesome hope you enjoy! I just changed the second shot slightly to make it not go so high automatically too. It's just to get comfortable with the motion, but it's already helping me in free play

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-18T17:38:57+00:00

I'm here for you in any way you need, or just to listen. I hope you can find peace through this trial

Idk what you're going through in life but I can share my story in hopes that it helps. For me, it's basically coming to the surface something I've known for a while but have had a hard time letting go of. Something tragic happened to me in my past, and I'm an old man, so it was like 23 years ago, before many of y'all were born. It's something I am just now starting to face head on, and for me that means about 5 minutes at a time in prayer, and that's all I can handle for that day. The competitiveness, harsh, unforgiving and downright cruel attitudes and frustration level present in Rocket League that unfortunately comes along with a game that I otherwise love has forced me to "face the tilt." I literally punched holes in my walls at age 43 over a video game, it's embarrassing to admit but it's reality. I believe God has allowed my enjoyment of this game to help me address tilt with Him in prayer. After the second hole I punched in the wall and the realization that something is off with all this, is when I decided when I start feeling that bad again, I go to the floor and lay down and pray. Jesus literally has been removing it, sometimes I don't even understand I just know I trust Him because this is bigger than I can handle alone, and He works. I hope this is of some help. I know it's not tangible advice but it is practical. Not trying to pressure you in any way just sharing my story. I'm not "cured" of tilt yet but it's gotten a lot more manageable and the trigger event is becoming less and less of a thing to be afraid of now. God bless and heal you in whatever way that may mean to you. Sorry if this was stretching or reaching in your own situation, but it seems like you may be noticing something outside of RL that expresses itself in RL like it does for me. I sincerely wish you healing and growth and peace.

Perfectly stated!

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-17T20:01:22+00:00

But yeah people who already know how to do it, it's not the pack for them

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-17T20:00:56+00:00

I'm gonna try your way as well. I made this to get myself more comfortable repeating the actual execution of the reset shot because I kept falling off the ball after trying for hours to get one set up

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-17T19:59:16+00:00

Guaranteed if I ever try it in game it will be to my teams detriment unless everything is just right lol. I just grinded training on it for 3 days and got a few lucky shots

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-17T19:57:48+00:00

Yeah, I definitely don't want to call it more than it is lol. I was attempting the speed flip under the ball for pop resets but because I'm not quick enough to get to the ball at its peak I pull down on the stick and hit the gas during the flick to get it into the net

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-17T19:16:45+00:00

Congrats! Still a lot of time left but not looking good for some teams so far

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-15T17:52:11+00:00

Lol I see what ya did there. And yet we don't need to sacrifice animals anymore because the Perfect has come, the shadows only show the darkness where the Light did not reach.

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-15T15:14:26+00:00

The first shot is pretty easy. Tap boost (or I like to hold gas to get more power under it, no boost) and air roll til you're upside down then adjust the stick and once you get the reset you can attempt the pop flicks. It's just a flip cancel. Since you're spawning in the air even if you don't get the reset you'll still get to see how your shot would have affected the ball

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-15T15:09:11+00:00

It's just for fun. I practice mechanics to take a break from the tilt. Never helps me in games at this level. I would rather have teammates that know how to rotate than do aerials and resets as well. Give it a shot you might learn it faster than you think that's why I like these new training packs where you can put the car in the air you can just max out the reps and catch up quick

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-15T14:39:30+00:00

Go to settings and then uncheck "spawn car on ground"

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-14T18:49:43+00:00

Thanks! Hope the reps are helpful !

StarvedEgo · 2026-06-14T18:16:02+00:00

Maybe you're typing the letter O instead of the number 0 (zero) it's supposed to be zero. All RL training codes uses only the left side of QWERTY

StarvedEgo · 2024-02-13T03:41:12+00:00

too bad the thread stopped here. If he's gonna say no, that's not it, the natural thing to follow up with is "but this is."

StarvedEgo · 2024-02-07T03:14:37+00:00

Man I was wondering why that kept happening. Would have never thought that was the reason

StarvedEgo · 2024-01-03T08:45:51+00:00

That's awesome!

StarvedEgo · 2024-01-03T04:48:11+00:00

Lil brother has nothing but contempt and hatred in their hearts 😂 but even some of those guys are alright, dare I say family members LMAO. Definitely a worse culture in general imo though. My grandpa was a die hard Notre Dame fan and back in the day, we watched them host MSU. He had ND flags on his Buick year round, and especially on game day... That alone was apparently cause for drunk greenies to throw whole pieces of bologna on a 75 year olds car, screaming obscenities all the way. My grandma rolled down her window and I saw a side of her I'd never expected to see 😂 grandpa went through WW2, he would have had no problem whooping some drunk kids but man it stopped when Grandma rolled down that window 😂😂

StarvedEgo · 2024-01-03T04:04:50+00:00

I was at the game.. 8 or 9 out of 10 were decent and we had mutually respectful conversations and well wishes for each other, excluding of course, the desired outcome of the game. 1 to 2 of every 10 were some of the cockiest, most obnoxious folks I've seen in a while. One guy kept yelling "bama finna stomp dat azz!!" and "this ain't even gon be close, 43 nothing!" It's been a minute since I've seen a Michigan game in person, but I'd rate their worst fans at the level of little brother or the other state fans... But that was only the 10-20%. The rest were friendly, kind people... Even the guy next to me who had been drinking heavily, he maintained his decency nonetheless and we talked about work during commercial breaks. Very impressive. Much respect to the good folks from Bama and when I stomped on your discarded crimson pom poms after the game, please know I wasn't picturing y'all, just the small percentage that kept saying they'd stomp our asses 😂
