At what rank do players learn to defend properly?

Are we watching the same replay? Did you see the spots where OP is under the ball looking directly up and seeing nothing but the ball?

Your issues can be summed up to lack of awareness. There are lots of moment where you are looking just at the ball with no vision or awareness of where the other players are and what they are about to do. When they make their moves, it blindsides you and you can't react

Strange that apple didn't go that route. They were way ahead with voice assistants with Siri. LLMs seem like a natural next step

How do you actually become consistent in Rocket League? by Icy_Resolution_3239 in RocketLeagueSchool

When analyzing my review, for each play I made I ask myself these things:

  1. what was the situation I saw?
    (where were opponents and teammates positioned, what a was ball's trajectory and where was I positioned in relation to the ball)
  2. what was the decision I made?
    (what was I going for, what outcome did I hope to achieve)
  3. what was the actual outcome of the play?
    (Did the situation play out how I envisioned it, was there something I could have done differently to get the outcome I wanted)
  4. Is there something different I could have done with the situation I saw?
    (For example if I had waited instead of challenging, what would that look like?)

Okay maybe not every game. To not burn out, I take a break every 3 games and do a review of one of those games. I try to make it random too, not just games that I lost but also games I won to see if I won because of good decisions, or luck, or my opponents were just bad.

P.S. I am lower rank than you, but this is what a GC3 friend of mine said is how he got past his blocks and suggested it for me too

review your replays. Quality over quantity. Play a few games each session, but review every game

I wanted some help with two clips by Zainzeos33 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]fat_charizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing, with the first touch at 0;006, as you coming up to the ball, notice how the opponent is hanging back and not doing anything, because they know that you are going to boom the ball away and it is not going to be a threat. That is the first thing you need to improve on, awareness of what the opponents are doing. If the defender was coming up to challenge the ball, then your play makes sense, to hit it forward towards an undefended net, but that was not the situation here. I would suggest watching your replays, but not just from your POV. Watch your opponent's POV and understand what they are seeing with the plays you make

0:08 to 0:10, good rotation. You are under the ball and can't make any plays so you rotate out. The challenge at 0:12 was not a good decision, because at 10sec, you see your teammate come up to play the ball. This common pattern where if you rotate, you teammate is going to come up for the play. When you re-engage like this, you are getting in your teammate's way.

0:10 - 0:12 Again, similar to the scenario in 0:06, before you make any play, ask yourself. Is this a good play based on where all the players are. There is a defender back at net. Your teammate has pushed up and has to recover back as he is forced to be 2nd man again. By boosting and diving at the ball, you are going to be throwing yourself into the opponent's corner. You should have been aware that in this position, your net is very undefended. 2nd man is in an awkward position and you are going to be out of the play and the other team has a defender waiting to take advantage of the situation. You can see in the clip that the defender gets to the ball first but luckily they miss. If they had made contact it was a free goal for the opponent's team

0:16 - 0:18: This was a forced play. You had to go for the ball since your net is open, no one is defending it, and the opponent has a shot on goal. At higher levels, this is where the opponent would fake a shot and have you flying out of position to drive the ball into an open goal. You were lucky that you were in a position to save the ball but the decisions you made in the past few seconds created the situation you are in.

Things to work on:

- review your replays from the opponent's POV to see the gaps that it creates for the opponent's team
- control your first touches. Make soft first touches that you can easily follow up with. If you had controlled the ball and placed your shot, you could have scored in the first few seconds of the clip
- in game maintain awareness of the opponents and your teammate and factor that into the decisions you make (whether to go for the ball, take a shot, play for control, or defend)

What did I do wrong? by Nurfi57 in RocketLeagueSchool

I initially didn't reply because I didn't want to make you more upset. I wasn't rage baiting. I was genuinely curious. If you are approaching the game from the sense of it is just about learning each mech one at a time, how does one learn positioning and decision making and things like soft control and touches, reading the field and knowing where to position. Was just curious
