@@shadowmean1550 hey man, im a silver but can you help me. I need help with mechanics and thought if i played with a higher rank i could learn some things
I've never heard anybody call the mini boost pads "pennies", I find that really cute. This is also helpful for me since I'm a plat in 2's and 3's, so ty for this !
im a gold, and im just now finding out that plat is considered low level 😭 Great video !!! I’ve watched a bunch of videos on positioning and it never really stuck, but that first string of tips especially was really eye opening. Detailed explanations of those specific situations that always happen 👍🏻👍🏻Thank you!! Subbed
I was plat 2 and now i am all the way down to silver 2 in doubles. It feels like every game I am on the losing side. I am seriously thinking of quitting the game once and for all. Silver is full of smurfs and I always end up having bad teammates
@@HKBoba great video! I’ve been stuck in gold 3 for a while now can’t seem to get out, and recently switched from keyboard to controller, I feel a lot slower and awkward going into the air but I like the key binds I chose... any tips? Thanks!
*Also the farther back player shouldn't be so far back that they can't clean up a play. It's best not to play goalie all the time, a 3v2+goalie may help in the plat and lower ranks, but you would be better off gaining experience three man rotating so that bout time you hit champ you're not thinking about it, it becomes second nature*
There’s only one reason players get stuck in these ranks. They rarely rotate and they ball chase. Just because you can hit the ball doesn’t mean you should.
I really appreciate how understanding you made this video! I battle often with inconsistencies within Rocket League but desperately want to get better. I’m a diamond player by skill, but land in Plat II every time so hopefully with these tips that you’ve pointed out, I can become more consistent. You’re awesome dude
Bro, d1, I’ve been watching videos of how to do aerial shots and flip resets so I can carry my trash tm8s, then after 2 nights of shit sleep I decided that I would just see how to carry, the first video I watched said how the only constant I your team’s success, or lack there of, is me. I took this information in mind when I played my next game, an the first goal conceded was because I went up for an aerial and got bumped out of the way by my tm8 and the other one missed entirely, triple commit and we got scored on. Left the game as soon as that happened and haven’t touched rl for 5 days now 💀
@@SinisterRL well to me its all % based =) if you were plat, you were in the top 30% meaning 70/100 right? thats a C grade. i.e. low grade. =P fair enough?
I havent played rocket league in like 3 years, and coming back feels great. Im not yelling and raging about losing because im still able to win 1v1s and stuff. I've been watching some tips and tricks videos, including this one, to help me be better at the game. I appreciate your help! 😀
I’d put my money on 100k by New Years at least. You’d be surprised how quick you can blow up on here. I saw a minecraft youtuber go from under 700 subs to over 150k in less than a month
@Gabriel Alvarado The thing is that statistically these "hotshot guys" are as often on the enemy team making them then loose following your logic. The only factor you can change is yourself and if you are better than where you are placed, you will sooner or later definitly win more games than you loose. It's not all about mechanics in this game...
@Gabriel Alvarado what you should consider is that your opponents do the same mistakes as your mates will do under pressure it's all about utilizing the opportunities and thinking about what you could have done better as it is anyway the only thing you can change in the game This way you will focus on your mistakes and you will fastly improve
I honestly think this may be the greatest Rocket League tutorial channel on TH-cam. I can't find, through my thousands of recommended videos of the same genre, a channel which offers more concise or better explained mechanics than this. For a guy who doesn't have a ton of time to grind out drills in free play, thank you, sincerely. I hope you get the subscriber base you deserve.
This is one of the most helpful guides out there for low rank players and the editing is MAD! I can see you gaining tens of thousands of subs in the future if you keep this up
Great roundup man. Good tips in there! One thing I'd like to emphasize, though, as I feel like it helped me a lot: Experiment with the camera and controller settings on your own. Don't stick to some pro's settings and expect to instantly improve. I've tried lots of settings I found on TH-cam, but only recently have I fiddled around with them on my own, and found settings that gave me much better overview over the field, and made me hit my shots much more consistently. I was struggling especially with the "easy" shots, like drive / shoot the ball straight into an open net and hitting the kickoffs right. Often times, I was missing the ball by just a little bit. Ever since I customized the controller / Dodge deadzone, steering sensitivity, etc. to fit my playstyle, I feel like I made a huge step in the right direction, when it comes to consistency. A further camera distance also helped. Even though I might have to change this again, once I get more into dribbling and aerial play. I just feel like some of the settings in RL are hard to explain, and have more to do with feeling and personal preference. Just experiment and see how you like it. And don't be afraid to go away from the stuff other people recommend. Your personal "comfort zone" might be different from what other people like :)
HK, these are fantastic comments. I've been playing in gold random 3's forever. Occasionally I'll see the platinum promised land, once in a great while I'll slump my way into silver (that hasn't happened for quite a while, thankfully). I've changed my positioning recently while crossing my fingers that a pass will get through, and that helps - for all the reasons you listed. The non-double (or triple) commit thing is difficult in this rank. There are times I find it helpful to follow a team mate (at distance), because chances are really good he's going to outpace the ball he's trying to dribble. It can create a vulnerability, but frequently allows the ability to advance the ball into the opponents' zone...you just can't remain in such proximity. I certainly need to buckle down and improve my dribbling, but hey, I'm an RL Geezer at 57, there's only so many new tricks I'm willing to take the time to learn. Lastly - it is always odd to me to hear "opponents" referred to as "enemies". I don't really understand why that is the choice of language in RL, it isn't like we're at war firing at each other from trenches, but that seems to be the language choice for some. Anyway - very helpful video - thanks very much. Sorry to write a book.
Hello my friend, I'm a few years behind ya at 40, but I suspect we're both on the older end of the player base. And I mimicked your ranking pattern for quite a while. I just recently stuck my nose up into platinum in 2s and 3s, but it wasn't long before I was back hovering in the gold range. A lot of times I feel like I'm too old to spend the necessary time learning the intricacies of the game. Edit: let me know if ya wanna team up!
I saw one of your videos and now I watch all of them and learn alot first I watched celling shot video because I wanted to become good at freestyling and now I can do it but nit in every shot. But right now I am a gold
@@HKBoba What do you use to edit/what method? Please can you reply in as much detail as possible I think it would be really cool if a rocket league youtuber would explain their thought process during editing
Lol hey yeah discord would be better. But I use sony vegas. Honestly my thought process depends on my audience. I knew with f2p it was about time to make a new tips video. So I knew I'd like to target he silver-> plat range. So step 1 is to do research. Provide free coaching for friends and viewers on the discord in that range. I give them a series of 5-6 tips. And they let me know which tips worked for them after a few days. Then that acts as a voting process for me to figure out which tips will make it into the final video. Back when I was a new player as well. My tips videos are more....peer tips and not so much. Me coaching. Then from that perspective. As I ranked up. I always jotted down which tips I heard from coaches and youtubers worked best for me. And those are the ones I focused on In my older videos. By using myself as the guinea pig
I've been stuck in Platinum for ages (only started playing competitive about a year or two ago. Been stuck in Plat since). Some of the tips shown here are things that I recognize I have been doing wrong or not as well as I could. I'll surely be trying to incorporate some of these in my gameplay and hopefully improve. Thanks for the tips, Boba!
lmfao i remember when i was stuck in plat and truly it was my fault i always blamed my tm8s because i thought i was playing perfect but i started to watch my replays and it really showed me what i was doing wrong i was to aggressive i wasnt commiting to hard and was leaving my tm8 having to deal with a 1v2 and i used to tell my self if i was in a 1v2 i could of easily saved it, as i started to change my play style i quickly realized patience is key to a game like this you also have to focus the enemy players not just the ball an or yourself you have to have awareness of what's going on you have to be able to read plays, learn how to 50/50, fake plays, fake challenging, when to challenge and alot more things a plat still need work on. As for me im stuck in d3- c1 in 2s. im not much of a grinder but i hate losing and im not entirely sure why i lose alot in 2s as im d1-2 in 1s. I started playing alot of 1s and i got pretty damn good at 1s but in 1s you play alot safer and more patience and in 2s i have the same playstyle i started playing super safe and patient in 2s witch allowed my enemies to have time with the ball witch is not what you want and i dky i even said all this but i did
From a champ player, awesome video dude 👍 I wish I had a video like this when I was in the lower ranks. 6:11 awesome drill that is extremely underrated. Knowing the position of the "pennies" is crucial at higher ranks. And obviously dribbling is an awesome skill to have. Can't recommend a drill like this enough. 9:54 about double commiting: always keep in mind that your teammate most likely won't be looking behind them. If you for example want to go up for an areal, but see your teammate in front of you, there's a high chance he'll jump as well. Even tho you were up earlier, he couldn't have know this cuz he didnt see you, therefore this double commit is on you. If you feel like you really have a superior position for the arial, use Team quick chat (probably "I Got It") to let them know you're going. 7:36 For myself, what map is that? Would love to give it a go 😜
Tip for diamonds: If you are low boost and can't get the ball to a team mate keep the ball close enough to you to get a 50/50. Heavy touches can give the ball right to your opponent like a slow roller up the wall or a hit off the side wall that bounces into the middle for a shot. It seems obvious but you see it all the time! Awesome content I can't believe I haven't seen your videos before. You have a new sub!
This is a great tip and so true. Honestly it was on my list but had to be cut for the other 10. Taking a 50-50 forces at least 1 opponent out of the equation. It's like you're 'taking them with you' out of the play haha. Thanks for the new sub! And great tip 👌🙏🥳
I used to be gold, now I’m in low diamond. Being aware of what type of teammates you have helps a lot. Learning to adapt to different playstyles makes a huge difference
I'm a 48 year old and I love this game. Using mouse and keyboard is so difficult though so I'm going to use xbox controllers. I think this videos will set me off well. I'm always silver ish. Doesn't help that my eight and nine year of sons use my account! Great video.
I'm about to try it tmr I hope it works rn I'm in gold 3 what is happening to me is I'm in divison 3 right I win a game I'm now in divison 5 so I just need to win this game then Plat but I lost it so I go back to divison 3 this happend for 30 mins and I was tilted because I waisted my time I can't whait to try this out
My frustration is I will once in a while have tm8s that whiff every time. I’m in silver 3, but that’s bronze level stuff. You should be able to hit a ball on the ground smh
Actually good info in this video. I have casually watched a lot of these types of guides, but this one ACTUALLY COVERS VALUABLE INFO. Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Lesgooo this vid helped my gameplay and mechanics sooo much I'm still bronze but I'm working my way up after this vid, I've only been playing 2-3 months. Thx so much bro I really appreciate it, I'm subbing rn
Your tutorials are so much different from other RL youtubers, they make understanding everything so much easier Unrelated: Your intro made me want boba tea
hi my name is Malcolm Mallyplayz. started playing on rocket league in early October 2019. A friend recommended it to me. from the first game i was hooked and started to see the learning potential in this simple but complex little gem. i started to watch TH-cam videos and was drawn to this video and watched it quite a few times. i subscribed the very first time i watched it because i knew it was just what i needed to start improving. i just watched it again after not watching for about a month and after many hours of practice in free play and grinding in ranked and casual i am doing everything in this video now consistently and improving everyday and all because of the way you break down everything so simply. thankyou your videos are great and i look forward to learning lots more from them. your a great teacher never stop being you..
I hit Diamond in the middle of f2p Season 6. I wish I had seen this video back in Season 3 when I started. These tips are the absolute essentials that can push you into Platinum that I foolishly learned through hours and hours of gameplay. Thanks for the dribbling practice tip 👍
p.s. to all the comments asking if i actually read every single comment. this is true i do. i have no life. BUT google doesnt inform me of replies to replies. so i try to but i miss a lot of the replies. but base comments yes
Came to this video with any expectations, just because I love the game and suck at it. Ended up finding super high quality content, thanks you and great job!
CHANGING THE SETTINGS WAS INSANE BRO I WENT FROM SILVER 2 TO GOLD 3 IN ONE DAY WINNING EVERY SINGLE GAME AND WON A PLAT TOURNAMENT AS WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Just don't jump. Drive under them as a fake and rotate back. Most aerials your opponents go for are probably bad and will end up just passing the ball to you
I started playing two weeks ago and have watched a lot of “tips” videos but this one is far and away the best. The drawings on the screenshots are particularly helpful, along with the examples of what not to do.
I got rocket league like 2 years ago but never played much but have gotten more into it now that i heard it’s free and lots of people or starting to play. I’m got to gold II but was quickly demoted to silver II, so I came to this video. This was a great video thank you! :)
I got almost plat after my first 10 ranked games even tho i only played this game since its free. Great vid for me bec it goes even in details that are not important for older players. Btw is there a bug in solo ranked(i dont belive i should be gold)
240 hours here. But I think it’s the new divisions in GC. I went from G1 last season to D1 this season with only a little improvement in my mechanics 😂
This actually helped, like a lot! And guess what i look at the channel and its the legend again, and you are growing fast now. Last I checked it was 11k and that was only a couple of days ago. And i kinda feel bad because i feel like i should be able to recognize your voice by now haha, Good job man keep it up, im putting on those notifications hahah
I am gc and these were all good tips. Trying to convince my low ranked friends to wait in midfield for passes is so annoying so im glad you covered that
i’ve only watched until the 3rd tip so far because i don’t want to take in too much information and then forget. so far the video is great, i love how you explained the first three tips! :]
I want to say thank you man. I watched your tips and I went up from plat to diamond thank you so much I’ve been stuck in plat 3 for a while and your video helped me achieve diamond
Wow. I've seen a bunch of Rocket League tutorials, but have never seen one as helpful as this. I usually don't subscribe to a channel until I've watched them for like, a week. This channel is the exception. This is by far the best tutorial for Rocket League I have seen, especially because there is so much in this video that I can relate to. That defensive advice regarding staying by the far post is something I definitely want to incorporate into my gameplay. Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/Hj0BZC0T0Vo/w-d-xo.html - Top 3 Mechanics for every rank I have a video on my channel that covers this. Check the description for a hugeee list of training packs and the video itself goes over how to approach each one =)
I’m a gold player but something that really helped me and no one else seems to do is rebinding the boost on console. (Using PlayStation control) I put my boost as Square and my power sliding as L1 so that I can comfortably boost and jump at the same time without readjusting my thumb
(this is true). the tips definitely could be for any rank. just... more focused/less mentioning of the corner cases and details to simplify them a bit for a more broad rank spectrum.
This is easily the BEST VIDEO for me. I'm trying to achieve gold league. You have explained the "new to rocket league" points perfectly. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you edit, good to gold.
This may be a good tip to throw out. There are a couple pros who don't do this, but binding directional air roll buttons are extremely helpful. It's hard to get used to, but my aerials improved almost immediately!
lol thanks! i personally have a hard time hearing my own voice so im glad people find it easy to hear. but i think its common most ppl dont like their own voice
Awesome video man. I trying to slowly get to grand champ and this stuff is very helpful. It’s always good start back to the basics of everything to truly understand what you have to do.
Thanks for the tips Boba. You deserve my sub. I started 7 days ago and i got the air roll down in training. Including free play doing some drills and custom playlists. But in a match i always miss my aerials. Until i watched this vid yesterday and took your advice at positioning... Ive been touching most of my aerials since. Big difference. Thank you for that. I couldnt understand why i couldnt get my aerials down in a match until i saw this video.
I really appreciate your tips for gold because I'm literally stuck in division I - division III. And I sometimes even drop back to silver! Anyway I am trying my best and hope that I will get better.
Only halfway through the video and I had to stop and comment. This is one of the most simple and informative videos i've seen in a while and you even timestamped all tips incase some tips you're already comfortable with. Thanks for the vid man you deserve A LOT more subs!
Hey! All tips were really useful! Thanks a bunch! The far post rotation was mostly helpful for me, as I get in awkward goalie positions all the time, thanks!
Awsome video, as a returning player from 2015 this helps a lot. One problem I seem to be having is knowing when to use ball cam and when to not use it. Ill have moments where the ball is right above my car and the angle is so awkward I cant really grab it, good video, cant wait to see more
ah. so usually that isnt a problem with ur ball cam vs car cam thats a problem with being too close =) cause even if its ur ball to play. u always want to fly a bit horizontal into balls. OR the bal is flying horizontal into you. and u fly striaght up to it. but either way. 1 of u either hte ball or the car should be moving across. and if the ball is above u like that. unless its during a save and ur in goal or something. usually a mistake with positioning. Dont use strong mechanics to hit difficult shots. use smart rotations to make difficult shots easy :)
@@HKBoba ohh okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the advice, I like that last qoute, cuz i always try to go for more mechanically intensive stuff when i don't really have to. Also I really appreciate it. Im definitely gonna be asking more questions lol if you don't mind.
I face problems when it comes to boost management,so this really helped, now I know where all the boost spots are,might help my struggle in plat. Ty btw
I have a friend who is very not good at the game haha, basically.. he’s been struggling and when I saw a other video by you I instantly thought of him and that he NEEDED to watch it. So now I’m watching this video, he NEEDS to watch this. Thank you so much for the amazing videos, definitely subbing and will make sure he subs to 🙏
New Cbell/Helical coming up here? Great content bro! Not a massive fan of the profile pic, lol, but nice vid! I hadn't realised that pushing forward for passes was a big problem (I'm in plat, so it's kinda embarrassing) but I have noticed I do it alot. I'll be sure to try this!

Big tip for console players: disable v sync. Even though you may notice some screen tearing, everything will be a lot more responsive.
ohh yeah i really shouldve mentioned this. i just had it off by default so i didnt think about it. yes 100% no vsync
This was driving me nuts when I made my first alt account and it just didn't feel quite right. Great tip to share!

Great roundup man. Good tips in there! One thing I'd like to emphasize, though, as I feel like it helped me a lot:
Experiment with the camera and controller settings on your own. Don't stick to some pro's settings and expect to instantly improve.
I've tried lots of settings I found on TH-cam, but only recently have I fiddled around with them on my own, and found settings that gave me much better overview over the field, and made me hit my shots much more consistently. I was struggling especially with the "easy" shots, like drive / shoot the ball straight into an open net and hitting the kickoffs right. Often times, I was missing the ball by just a little bit.

A further camera distance also helped. Even though I might have to change this again, once I get more into dribbling and aerial play.
I just feel like some of the settings in RL are hard to explain, and have more to do with feeling and personal preference. Just experiment and see how you like it.

HK, these are fantastic comments. I've been playing in gold random 3's forever. Occasionally I'll see the platinum promised land, once in a great while I'll slump my way into silver (that hasn't happened for quite a while, thankfully). I've changed my positioning recently while crossing my fingers that a pass will get through, and that helps - for all the reasons you listed. The non-double (or triple) commit thing is difficult in this rank. There are times I find it helpful to follow a team mate (at distance), because chances are really good he's going to outpace the ball he's trying to dribble. It can create a vulnerability, but frequently allows the ability to advance the ball into the opponents' zone...you just can't remain in such proximity. I certainly need to buckle down and improve my dribbling, but hey, I'm an RL Geezer at 57, there's only so many new tricks I'm willing to take the time to learn. Lastly - it is always odd to me to hear "opponents" referred to as "enemies". I don't really understand why that is the choice of language in RL, it isn't like we're at war firing at each other from trenches, but that seems to be the language choice for some. Anyway - very helpful video - thanks very much. Sorry to write a book.
Hello my friend, I'm a few years behind ya at 40, but I suspect we're both on the older end of the player base. And I mimicked your ranking pattern for quite a while. I just recently stuck my nose up into platinum in 2s and 3s, but it wasn't long before I was back hovering in the gold range. A lot of times I feel like I'm too old to spend the necessary time learning the intricacies of the game.
Edit: let me know if ya wanna team up!
I saw one of your videos and now I watch all of them and learn alot first I watched celling shot video because I wanted to become good at freestyling and now I can do it but nit in every shot. But right now I am a gold
Welcome for the channel!!
I dont know how I found this rl channel but I love it
welcome! :)
@@HKBoba What do you use to edit/what method? Please can you reply in as much detail as possible I think it would be really cool if a rocket league youtuber would explain their thought process during editing
@@swettispaghetti4310 if he doesn't reply here dm him on discord he usually responds there too
Lol hey yeah discord would be better. But I use sony vegas.
Honestly my thought process depends on my audience. I knew with f2p it was about time to make a new tips video.
So I knew I'd like to target he silver-> plat range. So step 1 is to do research. Provide free coaching for friends and viewers on the discord in that range. I give them a series of 5-6 tips. And they let me know which tips worked for them after a few days.
Then that acts as a voting process for me to figure out which tips will make it into the final video.
Back when I was a new player as well. My tips videos are more....peer tips and not so much. Me coaching. Then from that perspective. As I ranked up. I always jotted down which tips I heard from coaches and youtubers worked best for me. And those are the ones I focused on In my older videos. By using myself as the guinea pig
Hey boba I'm new to the channel but great vid dude I'll make sure to sub
I've been stuck in Platinum for ages (only started playing competitive about a year or two ago. Been stuck in Plat since). Some of the tips shown here are things that I recognize I have been doing wrong or not as well as I could. I'll surely be trying to incorporate some of these in my gameplay and hopefully improve. Thanks for the tips, Boba!
lmfao i remember when i was stuck in plat and truly it was my fault i always blamed my tm8s because i thought i was playing perfect but i started to watch my replays and it really showed me what i was doing wrong i was to aggressive i wasnt commiting to hard and was leaving my tm8 having to deal with a 1v2 and i used to tell my self if i was in a 1v2 i could of easily saved it, as i started to change my play style i quickly realized patience is key to a game like this you also have to focus the enemy players not just the ball an or yourself you have to have awareness of what's going on you have to be able to read plays, learn how to 50/50, fake plays, fake challenging, when to challenge and alot more things a plat still need work on. As for me im stuck in d3- c1 in 2s. im not much of a grinder but i hate losing and im not entirely sure why i lose alot in 2s as im d1-2 in 1s. I started playing alot of 1s and i got pretty damn good at 1s but in 1s you play alot safer and more patience and in 2s i have the same playstyle i started playing super safe and patient in 2s witch allowed my enemies to have time with the ball witch is not what you want and i dky i even said all this but i did
im down to play with you whenever im on ps4 doe ..😭 my gt is my yt name
This is by far one of the best tutorial out here for the low rank players🙌💙🔥💯🙏
Just saw this in my recommended. Dunno why, dunno how.
But this deserves a sub.
Very good editing. Nice!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel
Glad I can help smaller channels. Maybe you'll get into the race to 100k subs lol.
Is that still going on?
haha i have no idea. who would it even be between. thanovic, sledge, cbell and wayton pilkon?
@@HKBoba has anyone won yet lol?
@@zlette didn't wayton or cbell already hit 100k?
From a champ player, awesome video dude 👍
I wish I had a video like this when I was in the lower ranks.
6:11 awesome drill that is extremely underrated. Knowing the position of the "pennies" is crucial at higher ranks. And obviously dribbling is an awesome skill to have. Can't recommend a drill like this enough.
9:54 about double commiting: always keep in mind that your teammate most likely won't be looking behind them. If you for example want to go up for an areal, but see your teammate in front of you, there's a high chance he'll jump as well. Even tho you were up earlier, he couldn't have know this cuz he didnt see you, therefore this double commit is on you. If you feel like you really have a superior position for the arial, use Team quick chat (probably "I Got It") to let them know you're going.
7:36 For myself, what map is that? Would love to give it a go 😜
Tip for diamonds: If you are low boost and can't get the ball to a team mate keep the ball close enough to you to get a 50/50. Heavy touches can give the ball right to your opponent like a slow roller up the wall or a hit off the side wall that bounces into the middle for a shot. It seems obvious but you see it all the time! Awesome content I can't believe I haven't seen your videos before. You have a new sub!
This is a great tip and so true. Honestly it was on my list but had to be cut for the other 10. Taking a 50-50 forces at least 1 opponent out of the equation. It's like you're 'taking them with you' out of the play haha.
Thanks for the new sub! And great tip 👌🙏🥳
I used to be gold, now I’m in low diamond. Being aware of what type of teammates you have helps a lot. Learning to adapt to different playstyles makes a huge difference
Wut rank r u now, if ur still playing?
I'm a 48 year old and I love this game. Using mouse and keyboard is so difficult though so I'm going to use xbox controllers. I think this videos will set me off well. I'm always silver ish. Doesn't help that my eight and nine year of sons use my account!
Great video.
Put him on casual and not competitive
Or make other account. Its free
Btw need coaching?
I'm bored
@@THEbraylonbarnes I need coaching
I’m a gc, and this still helps a lot thanks for the video!
This truly was a great video. I've heard most of these tips before but somehow, the way you presented them made them truly sink in.
Thank you so much! This video helped me get from silver 3 to gold 2 in 3 days! And I’ll probably get to plat really soon!
I'm about to try it tmr I hope it works rn I'm in gold 3 what is happening to me is I'm in divison 3 right I win a game I'm now in divison 5 so I just need to win this game then Plat but I lost it so I go back to divison 3 this happend for 30 mins and I was tilted because I waisted my time I can't whait to try this out
My frustration is I will once in a while have tm8s that whiff every time. I’m in silver 3, but that’s bronze level stuff. You should be able to hit a ball on the ground smh
Feel ya, in plat 2 i get teamm8s that cant aerial or rotate
PDG_Panos - Sonic facts
have you never whiffed a ball?
Eh whiffs happen at any rank
Doesnt change in diamond
Underrated legend 👑
appreciate it :D
Actually good info in this video. I have casually watched a lot of these types of guides, but this one ACTUALLY COVERS VALUABLE INFO. Thanks man! I appreciate it!
My rq
Lesgooo this vid helped my gameplay and mechanics sooo much I'm still bronze but I'm working my way up after this vid, I've only been playing 2-3 months. Thx so much bro I really appreciate it, I'm subbing rn
8:08 I really thought that said something else
Pens 15?
@@HKBoba no
Nice vid tho
The controls ain’t weird I have them mainly coz of my hand positioning on my controller
Your tutorials are so much different from other RL youtubers, they make understanding everything so much easier
Unrelated: Your intro made me want boba tea
hi my name is Malcolm Mallyplayz. started playing on rocket league in early October 2019.
A friend recommended it to me. from the first game i was hooked and started to see the learning potential in this simple but complex little gem.
i started to watch TH-cam videos and was drawn to this video and watched it quite a few times.
i subscribed the very first time i watched it because i knew it was just what i needed to start improving.
i just watched it again after not watching for about a month and after many hours of practice in free play and grinding in ranked and casual i am doing everything in this video now consistently and improving everyday and all because of the way you break down everything so simply. thankyou your videos are great and i look forward to learning lots more from them. your a great teacher never stop being you..
Thanks so much for your kind words! Join the discord and say hi some time 🙏
I hit Diamond in the middle of f2p Season 6. I wish I had seen this video back in Season 3 when I started. These tips are the absolute essentials that can push you into Platinum that I foolishly learned through hours and hours of gameplay. Thanks for the dribbling practice tip 👍
p.s. to all the comments asking if i actually read every single comment. this is true i do. i have no life. BUT google doesnt inform me of replies to replies. so i try to but i miss a lot of the replies.
but base comments yes
Amazing video man! I’m a pretty new player and you made things brighter for me👏🏼 thanks a lot keep up the good content
Love your vids
Came to this video with any expectations, just because I love the game and suck at it. Ended up finding super high quality content, thanks you and great job!
welcome to the channel! thanks for stopping by =)
This video is so high quality, most underrated rl youtuber 2020?
haha its already been blowing up so much. super grateful to all the new viewers 🙏
youre so underrated!!
I'm fully serious I went from p1 to p3 in one grinding session after watching this
thats awesome to hear! Stories like this are the best 😄
That is next level. God-tier video
CHANGING THE SETTINGS WAS INSANE BRO I WENT FROM SILVER 2 TO GOLD 3 IN ONE DAY WINNING EVERY SINGLE GAME AND WON A PLAT TOURNAMENT AS WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This is actually a very well made video. Definitely one of the most underrated videos ive seen
those are actually huge tips
There's a few things I'm struggling with as a g3.
1: I'm not fast enough in the air
2: i miss lots of balls
Just don't jump. Drive under them as a fake and rotate back. Most aerials your opponents go for are probably bad and will end up just passing the ball to you
I started playing two weeks ago and have watched a lot of “tips” videos but this one is far and away the best. The drawings on the screenshots are particularly helpful, along with the examples of what not to do.
I got rocket league like 2 years ago but never played much but have gotten more into it now that i heard it’s free and lots of people or starting to play. I’m got to gold II but was quickly demoted to silver II, so I came to this video. This was a great video thank you! :)
welcome back! and thanks :)
I got almost plat after my first 10 ranked games even tho i only played this game since its free.
Great vid for me bec it goes even in details that are not important for older players.
Btw is there a bug in solo ranked(i dont belive i should be gold)
bro im 200+ hours and in gold lmao
@@eilif8962 me too lol
240 hours here. But I think it’s the new divisions in GC. I went from G1 last season to D1 this season with only a little improvement in my mechanics 😂
@@eilif8962 i have something betwen 5 and 7 lol
I won against a Plat 3 bec he scored 5 times and missed 7 times and i just drove the ball in the net 7 times
This actually helped, like a lot!
And guess what i look at the channel and its the legend again, and you are growing fast now. Last I checked it was 11k and that was only a couple of days ago.
And i kinda feel bad because i feel like i should be able to recognize your voice by now haha,
Good job man keep it up, im putting on those notifications hahah
haha i think maybe i just have one of those common voices
thanks so much for joining the channel =)
Dude this helped so much Ive been having alot of ball chasing teamates down here in gold so thanks for giving tips on that!
This is an excellent quality video, I didnt knew that people with low subs could make such good videos, im subbing
welcome to the channel!
Welcome to life, I have 35 subs, and my content is next level.
this video literally took me from gold 1 div 3 to gold 3 div 3 in 1 day. im now obviously a new sub!
thats awesome! great work :)
This guy is Definitely one of the most underrated Rocket League content creators
I am gc and these were all good tips. Trying to convince my low ranked friends to wait in midfield for passes is so annoying so im glad you covered that
really appreciate all the high level players stopping by to watch.
yeah for sure a lot of my friends f2p too and kinda made this with them in mind.
i’ve only watched until the 3rd tip so far because i don’t want to take in too much information and then forget. so far the video is great, i love how you explained the first three tips! :]
Tip #9 is my personal favorite. I probably should've put it in the front haha
i love this vid most of the time I search these types of videos up but never quite find what I want 10/10 great job man
ty for the kind words :) 🙏
Really liked the tip about where to hit the ball helped me to make the push for diamond. Keep up the great vids
Haha the first goal though. My weakness. Very good video boba!
thx for the tips man. Got out from silver 2 and immediately and went to diamond 3. Very helpful! Keep up the work!!!
Nice work!
The tips and quality of the video in general is probably one of the best I've seen. Fantastic work HK Boba.
thank you! welcome to the channel :)
Bro you are so underrated this was amazing and so helpful
Simp
I’m plat and I had no idea about the power slide thing I always struggled with that. Thank you so much
Bro this is one of the best videos I’ve seen on tutorials I just switched all my bindings at plat so it’s hard.
This channel is so underrated all of these tips are so useful when starting. I wish I had someone like you when I first started out.
I want to say thank you man. I watched your tips and I went up from plat to diamond thank you so much I’ve been stuck in plat 3 for a while and your video helped me achieve diamond
That's awesome!! Hopefully my champ tips video can bring you to champ then 😅 good luck!
HK Boba thank you for your awesome tips
Wow. I've seen a bunch of Rocket League tutorials, but have never seen one as helpful as this. I usually don't subscribe to a channel until I've watched them for like, a week. This channel is the exception. This is by far the best tutorial for Rocket League I have seen, especially because there is so much in this video that I can relate to. That defensive advice regarding staying by the far post is something I definitely want to incorporate into my gameplay. Thanks!
thank you! welcome to the channel :)
I need some good custom training sets, on every scale. And some videos about how to do them correctly and efficiently would be great
th-cam.com/video/Hj0BZC0T0Vo/w-d-xo.html - Top 3 Mechanics for every rank
I have a video on my channel that covers this. Check the description for a hugeee list of training packs and the video itself goes over how to approach each one =)
I’m a gold player but something that really helped me and no one else seems to do is rebinding the boost on console. (Using PlayStation control) I put my boost as Square and my power sliding as L1 so that I can comfortably boost and jump at the same time without readjusting my thumb
I’ve never watched a video on how to improve but this is really good info tips whatever so imma sub just for the great videos man keep it up
It’s interesting because even in high champ there are a lot of players that could use this advice. Great video
(this is true). the tips definitely could be for any rank. just... more focused/less mentioning of the corner cases and details to simplify them a bit for a more broad rank spectrum.
This is easily the BEST VIDEO for me. I'm trying to achieve gold league. You have explained the "new to rocket league" points perfectly. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
edit, good to gold.
Dude so I was playin comp with ur vid in the background and I ACTUALLY GOT PLAT 1 RIGHT AFTER. AHHHHHHHHHHH. THANK YOU MAN. GOD BLESS
Haha that's insaneee. Learning through osmosis
thanks for making this bro these are all things i need to work on so ill pass the word to my team
ty for sharing my content! that helps so much and im happy people are finding this useful! :D
This may be a good tip to throw out. There are a couple pros who don't do this, but binding directional air roll buttons are extremely helpful. It's hard to get used to, but my aerials improved almost immediately!
I was so surprised to see you only have 14k subs, your vids are so well edited and your voice is perfect for commentating, keep it up!!
lol thanks! i personally have a hard time hearing my own voice so im glad people find it easy to hear.
but i think its common most ppl dont like their own voice
Bro, this video is so helpful.
You actually have good tips unlike other videos.
I’m definitely using these tips in my games.
Thank You 👑👑
Awesome video man. I trying to slowly get to grand champ and this stuff is very helpful. It’s always good start back to the basics of everything to truly understand what you have to do.
its tough so far this season. i might grab a bunch of high level coaches/players to help me make a "10 HARD tips to get into gc" hahah. idk. 😅 😂
Thanks for the tips Boba. You deserve my sub. I started 7 days ago and i got the air roll down in training. Including free play doing some drills and custom playlists. But in a match i always miss my aerials. Until i watched this vid yesterday and took your advice at positioning... Ive been touching most of my aerials since. Big difference. Thank you for that. I couldnt understand why i couldnt get my aerials down in a match until i saw this video.
thats awesome! Im glad you found this helpful
I really appreciate your tips for gold because I'm literally stuck in division I - division III. And I sometimes even drop back to silver! Anyway I am trying my best and hope that I will get better.
I'm stuck in Gold 2/3. Thats why I appreciate that video. Thank you 🙏
Only halfway through the video and I had to stop and comment. This is one of the most simple and informative videos i've seen in a while and you even timestamped all tips incase some tips you're already comfortable with. Thanks for the vid man you deserve A LOT more subs!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Makes me so happy to know people found this helpful 🙏
Hey! All tips were really useful! Thanks a bunch! The far post rotation was mostly helpful for me, as I get in awkward goalie positions all the time, thanks!
Awsome video, as a returning player from 2015 this helps a lot. One problem I seem to be having is knowing when to use ball cam and when to not use it. Ill have moments where the ball is right above my car and the angle is so awkward I cant really grab it, good video, cant wait to see more
ah. so usually that isnt a problem with ur ball cam vs car cam
thats a problem with being too close =)
cause even if its ur ball to play. u always want to fly a bit horizontal into balls. OR
the bal is flying horizontal into you. and u fly striaght up to it.
but either way. 1 of u either hte ball or the car should be moving across. and if the ball is above u like that. unless its during a save and ur in goal or something. usually a mistake with positioning.
Dont use strong mechanics to hit difficult shots. use smart rotations to make difficult shots easy :)
@@HKBoba ohh okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the advice, I like that last qoute, cuz i always try to go for more mechanically intensive stuff when i don't really have to. Also I really appreciate it. Im definitely gonna be asking more questions lol if you don't mind.
Ofc man. Drop by the discord. Best way to find me :) sometimes youtube doesn't show replies of replies
Boba thanks for this quality video, I recently started rocket league in this past week and this video is extremely helpful. Definitely subbing!
hopefully i can help you on your RL journey! its a great game but super hard =)
@@HKBoba thank you for your help and yes the skill cap is very high but that kinda adds to the reason of playing you know
I’ve watched 2 videos and have learnt so much information. Thank you
I face problems when it comes to boost management,so this really helped, now I know where all the boost spots are,might help my struggle in plat.
Ty btw
Thanks for the tips :D you deserve more subs!
Thank you too!
I have a friend who is very not good at the game haha, basically.. he’s been struggling and when I saw a other video by you I instantly thought of him and that he NEEDED to watch it. So now I’m watching this video, he NEEDS to watch this. Thank you so much for the amazing videos, definitely subbing and will make sure he subs to 🙏

Glad you found this helpful. Thanks!
New Cbell/Helical coming up here? Great content bro! Not a massive fan of the profile pic, lol, but nice vid! I hadn't realised that pushing forward for passes was a big problem (I'm in plat, so it's kinda embarrassing) but I have noticed I do it alot. I'll be sure to try this!
Subbed immediately, so informative, so easy to understand. Thank you!
Great vid bro... Really good tips on the boost management that's something I really need to work on
yeah. what a hugely overlooked topic. glad i could get people to listen/watch it haha. cause its a bit of a boring topic
Goalie positioning actually really helps with heatseeker also because most people sit in mid and miss aerials because of the curve of the ball

lol nope. i legit read every comment :)
