Anyone else think the flipping direction not being the same as the camera is dumb?
Do anyone actually get used of it? They should probably give an option about this issue.

no that sounds confusing as ♥♥♥♥

No, what's confusing, is when you don't flip the right way, because the camera is looking at the ball. How can you quickly tell which direction your car is facing, then quickly know which direction to push to actually flip toward the ball?

That's just confusing and useless, the flipping should be toward the ball, when you flip forward while using cam ball.

If you always flip towards the ball, you can't be precise with the direction you flip in anymore. I often want to flip slightly towards the side off the ball, because ill need to hit it to the side. With the current system, you can flip in any direction you want.

Actually, this would make things even more confusing. Flipping while holding up will always make the far clip forwards in the way that the car is facing e.g front bumper flips down. Flipping while holding up will always flip in the opposite direction the car is facing e.g fromt bumper flips up.

When the car is facing towards the camera, the left and right controls are reversed. It's like driving a car in real life in reverse. When you push left, the car will appear to drive to your right and vise versa. If you're really having trouble distinguishing left from right, put an asymmetrical design on your car e.g Tech for Octane or put a flag on your car. So now, flipping left will always flip the side the flag is on for example if you choose that. It's just learning mechanical skills.

It's not even an issue to begin with it's just being more aware of what your car is doing. I've gotten used to flipping the right way regardless of whether car is facing towards or away from the camera regardless. It's not an issue and changing it would just make it worse and make flipping inconsistent.

I don't think you've really thought this through OP. The way the controls are now you flip relative to the direction your car is facing. It's perfectly fair and consistent for everyone.

What you're suggesting is that regardless of which way you're facing your car should flip in the direction you see it relative to the camera. So you could be driving one way and your car should immediately correct for your mistake by flipping in the direction you're thinking about? That makes zero sense. The game would be really messed up if the controls were always compensating for the camera.

Having controls compensate for the camera angle works perfectly fine for a 3rd person type adventure game like Dark Souls, but it doesn't work in this game because you're controlling a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ box on wheels. Those two characters don't move the same way.

It should be an option however, so people wouldn't fail so many saves or goals because of that.

I will train it, but after hundred of hours, it's really hard to master new techniques.

Just one note to people who came here to insult or provoque, piss off.

Another question, do you guys really master when you are facing the opposite way of the ball, and you have to flip right, while you're on ball cam. Do you intuitively know that you have to push left stick to flip to the right?

It is when it's about fraction of second reflex. You don't have time to think. It must be intuitive and a second nature. Believe me, I'm not the only one who's confused with this. I bet most of you also do that mistake too. I bet you would push left stick to go to left and fail.
