Improve in Rocket League:

1.Think before you act

It’s important to remember that just because you can hit the ball doesn’t mean that you always should hit the ball. This is a big mistake new players often make. This leads to congestion around the ball, as well as players messing up a teammate’s shot or knocking the ball in your own goal. Think about where the ball is going to go if you hit it.

2. Be a team player

If your teammate looks like they’re going to be able to hit the ball, let them go while you stay back. Keep your spacing from your teammates. If they miss the ball, you’ll be able to to take a shot at a follow-up attempt. If they make contact, you’ll be in a better position to either make another pass or take a shot.

3. Be in control

Often new players hit the gas at the start of a match and never let up. Your car has a lot of maneuverability options and, hitting the brakes or reversing are the best way to get yourself into position for a shot. It’s also important to remember that the available double-boost jump is not always the best choice for taking a shot on goal. This all ties back into thinking before you act. If you hit the ball too hard when you’re too close to the goal, chances are pretty good that you’re going to going to miss.

4.Defense is an option

After each goal, players are spread across the field before a countdown to the next kickoff. If you aren’t randomly dropped into one of the forward spots, you’re almost never going to be able to make it to the ball first. Instead of sprinting forward and possibly hitting your teammates, play defense for those opening moments. This is especially important if you start in the goalie box for the kickoff, as you’ll be your team’s only line of defense in case one of your opponents get a good hit towards your goal. A good defensive player is just as important as a scorer.
