Cars are also fun

That new bunny rave level is cool

I am a fan of soccer

I really want to keep playing the game

Cons

I am not good at it

      I don’t think I’ll ever get really high level good at this game. I just can’t wrap my brain around the aerial stuff...maybe I need to tweak my controller sensitivity? I think I’ve already developed bad habits with controlling my vehicle and that will be hard to break?

      Man how do they do that stuff with this twisting and flipping and actually make shots? I’ll never get it. Do people play m+kB to get that good?

      I just don’t know.

        It's the last rl game of yesterday's twitch stream. I'm assuming you can replay and skip to the end.

      I only ever score in that game on accident. I hate playing that game with good people. And I think I’ve played it enough to where the game thinks I can be matched with insanely good players. I just get owned over and over.

        As soon as I see some jackass fly up and actually make contact with the ball, I just ragequit and find a new match.

      For the last couple of years I've only played Snow Day. It's different, and less competitive (kind of).

      You just need to stop fucking around and invest 1000 hours in playing and training. Once you do that it’ll all click.

      Aw. I can't get our of Diamond but I am ok with that. Diamond is plenty competitive.

      Don’t do it. It’s even worse when you come back after a layoff. Then you have all these shots you’ll miss that you could make before. It’s even worse frustration.

        It's really easy to learn but the skill ceiling is incredibly high

      I am not good at it
      It's all relative. That's why they have MMR for competition. Tholla kicked my ass too. I did my best but he is just better. But every shacknews tournament we have ever played has made me a better in one way or another. If it's the 3v3 format I learn from the better players. In 1v1 tourneys I learn from different player tendencies.

      I keep trying to get better at the game
      but I just keep losing

      It's a journey, not a destination.

      Tonight's loss at the Shacknews Stimulus Games sealed it
      I am done
      I will never play Rocket League Again
      I hate it


      🎶Baby come back,
      You can blame it all on me
      I was wrong
      And I just can't live without you🎶

      But seriously. If you want some tips, let me or someone know. There are mechanical aspects that take hours of repetition but there are other parts of game only require a change in how you think about things and approach situations. The latter can be taught pretty easily. You'll still have to retrain your brain out of bad habits though.

        You're second set of points is the mindset people should have for anything competitive. I see a lot of people bounce off of fighting games due to similar circumstances.

      One of the hardest things about aging is not being able to remain competitive with online games.
