Why do I suck at this game so much D:

[Mody birdy]

Usually every single multiplayer game I start playing I'm never BAD I'm always pretty decent and land in a decent rank my first try. But rocket league is the first game I actually suck at. I feel that I suck. I got the rank before last I think prospect 2 idk. Maybe its because its my first time using a controller?

Maybe you're not used to go fast in those other games you played.

EVERYBODY sucks at first at this game. The game's been out a year, and the only thing that's gonna make you suck less is time playing the game. So you're a year behind all the PC and PS4 players. There are plenty of players just like you. Doesn't mean you can't catch up. Go get'em tiger.

I havn't met anyone that was any good with under 100 hours of play. The best piece of advice I can give you is to slow down. Taking shots at supersonic speeds is as risky as trying to play goalie in reverse.

I tried that but whether you'd call it goalie or striker is arguable. :)

Probably because it's your first time using controller. Here's my advice:

1. Practice to sync your brain with the movement of your car. it sounds stupid but it's very important to react the way you want to (when to boost, jump, flip, break, drift, etc). Make sure your hand do exactly what your brain wants to.

2. Keep in mind you just have one momentum to hit the ball that contribute positively to the team. It's not football that you can dribble or pass the ball directly to another playet. You just have to hit the ball properly & make sure it has specific purpose (shoot, center ball, clear the ball, etc)

3. learn the bounce pattern of the ball. When you get used to it. You can predict where tha ball will land before it bounce to the wall.

Hope it will help :)

You have 32 hours bruv there is so much more to learn from the game and it's not the controller believe me it's just that u dont have enough game sense to know how the ball is gonna bounce and where its gonna end up going, and you'll learn that by playing more so gl.

It's a different type of game basicly.

I know what you mean, every game I play I can easily get along and usually top the scoreboards when im playing with other new people, untill I get with the more experienced people.
But those are usually just shooters, racegames or mmo things, pretty common stuff. MMO's all work the same, shooters pretty much all work the same so it doesn't really matter when you play a new shooter.

But this is a pretty unique game, there isn't a whole lot out there like it, part of it is driving sure, but combine that with the flying, flips, angles, walls, jumps and all that there is nothing that could really prepare you for this.

Well, 28% of players have never even scored a goal, so don't feel bad.

1. This game and its crappy physics takes some serious getting used to.

2. A decent understanding of geometry helps a bit.

3. Seriously, watch an entire professional-level soccer game. You'd be surprised at how many mental troglodyte players with this game don't have a freaking clue as to how the game of soccer works...and don't have the mental capability to understand that what works in Call of Duty doesn't work in here. Once again, watch some soccer.

4. Depending on how some of the matches go, I go entire games without scoring, because I could give two poops about trying to score the most, but if I can help set up a shot where someone else can score, I don't care WHO scores, just as long as the team I'm on wins. Don't care. It's a game.

5. I've actually played soccer, and it takes a decent team behind you to enable one guy to score. Of course, if you spend enough time in these poorly-functioning, constantly-rubberbanding servers, you'll see that it's the rare Crock It League player that actually understands the concept of "teamwork". Typically, you get a bunch of half-wits who spend the entirety of the match mowing down anyone that gets in front of them in order to try to steal a shot, whether it be an opposing team player, or a teammember, they don't care, all they're concerned about is high scores, and to hell with anyone that gets in their way. These idiots will even cut across a teammate's nose to steal a shot (even perpendicular), even when the teammate will have a direct line into the goal, and the mental troglodyte in question doesn't have a hope in Hades of making any kind of shot. It also doesn't help when you get half-wits who are so sexual about stealing a ball that they'll punt it in almost any direction, even in the direction of their own goal that they're trying to defend. This makes it feel like you're fighting both the opposition team AND your own teammates at times.

6. It just might be you. Sorry.
