Does anyone have any tips for flying sideways and backwards?

[Fork_In_My_Eyee]

I am learning how to drive in different positions as opposed to the standard "nose-up, right side up" position. I can do backwards pretty okay but when I'm driving sideways on the wall and I just off I get kinda confused. Does anyone have any helpful hints on how to improve my car control?

Constantly jumping into a new territory to improve your skill isn't healthy. It's best to practice and be seasoned in the basics first. Don't practice to "get the feel of it". Practice long enough to master it.

Subjective offcourse, but I don't agree with this. Focussing to much on one aspect locks my brain to much and I feel I've had a steadier learning curve when I was doing all kinds of random things. Your (Vonstyne) approach may work best for you, but I wouldn't call it a fact for everyone.

Adaptability and observation is how I improved my skills. I'm offered a suggestion in the basic way to improve skills For the OP, it may best for him to learn the basics. Until he's seasoned enough in the basics, he may proceed to learn higher skills.

do you mind if I ask you what you mean by basics?

Controlling your car and recovery time. By controlling I mean driving, drifting, spinning, landing, jumping. Afterwards, once you feel seasoned at it, repeat eveything while driving backwards. The faster you can recover, back on your wheels, the better.

This was my first step when playing Rocket League.

Don't forget to remember how is important to feel where the ball is going. Instead of ballschasing you have to learn to watch. That was my first step.

well to be honest, i think i got all of those down already. I've been playing for 300 hours after all.

I have about 300 hours as well, and I've started improving my air control by going into free training, driving up the wall a bit, jumping off, and flying all the way across the field to the other wall, trying to land in about the same spot. The important thing is to keep the bottom of your car towards you at all times (ball cam is obviously off) and make sure you're not frantically boosting to the other side. You want to feel in control at all times.

Once you're comfortable with this, I suggest going into custom aerial training (look for freestyle goals) and trying to score while backwards/sideways/whatever you practiced.

I'm still learning myself, so don't think this will make you a pro :)
