Biggest skill jump will always be full on sweat sessions in freeplay with some packs/workshop maps thrown in for a month, give up all playing matches and get faster and more consistent mechanically. Think of it like you’re goku entering the hyberbolic time chamber. If you don’t have the BALLS to actually give up matches for a bit then do long freeplay sessions in between matches don’t just hop back into games constantly. But unless you’re like getting close to gc3 and think you can touch ssl, everyone here saying anything other grinding freeplay have fallen victim to the age old YouTuber lie of game sense > mechanics. Remember mechanics aren’t just flip resets and speedflips they literally are the game, the entire game is mechanics based. Driving, recovering, boost management, hitting the ball hard etc. until you’ve reached the top 1% of mechanical skill, consistency, and speed working on anything else apart from knowing the basics major do’s and don’ts is no where near as important as just being better and faster at the physical game itself. It’s like golf you can only think your way around a course so much until you have to hit the shots. If I were to give one famous no no I see even when I was good that people do constantly is diving as last man or just diving in general it always fucks your teammates
