Rocket League impressively proves that cars and football are a perfect combination. However, driving and ball physics require a lot of training time. With our five tips and tricks for playing autoball, you'll get off to a good start and you'll be celebrating your first victories very soon.
Rocket League: Tips and Tricks
If you're not careful, you're going to score one goal at a time, especially in the match against experienced opponents in Rocket League. The mix of racing game and football requires tactically clever behavior and targeted shots like billiards. To make sure that the round really ends up in the corner, we have summarized the five most important Rocket League tips and tricks for a perfect start to the game for you.
1. Don't always just track the ball
Like the kids in the F-Youth - everyone runs after the ball. A lot of players in Rocket League go after the ball on Devil's Come Out. However, this is not always the right tactic, because the position to the opponent and ball is much more important. So watch the game situation and wait for your chance to attack. Try to anticipate and keep the boost ready to get to the ball at the right moment and net it.
2. Always stay between your own goal and the ball
As with real football, playing without the ball is at least as important. You should always try to position yourself between your own goal and the ball. This ensures that you move the ball towards the opposing goal when you touch it. Otherwise you risk getting the ball into your own goal. With a good positional game you can act from a secure defense and start attacking yourself.
3. Save boost
The skillful use of your boost can make the difference between victory and defeat. Therefore, make sure you always have some boost for crucial situations and scoring chances in the backhand. Then you can rank up fast and unlock Rocket Pass 3 items fast. In this way you are faster on the ball in the decisive dribbling or still manage to catch the ball at the last moment from your own goal line. Also, remember the locations of the Boost items on the board, of which there are six. They replenish your boost to 100% and are located in every corner of the board and in the middle on the sidelines.
4. Move enemies off the field with ramming attacks
Football is a game without rules in Rocket League. So take advantage of this and ram an opponent during the second phase of a boost to get him off the field for a few seconds before respawing again. This gives your team an advantage as you are outnumbered for a short period. There are also extra points for the high score for such actions.
5. Complete the training
Rocket League offers you five practice missions to get used to the game mechanics, which are divided into the following:
Basic
Advanced
goalie
Striker
Aerial
You don't have to complete it, but it's a good way to do it, as it teaches you all the facets and strategies of the game and also simulates some typical situations in the game. You can also complete some training sessions at different difficulty levels for a constant learning curve.
