5 Ways to Improve Your Game Sense
Game sense separates higher-caliber players; in this video, I cover a multitude of ways for players to improve their game sense that do not directly correlate with mechanics or ball control. Instead of diving the ball, consider a fake challenge as a 3rd man to play defense and de-risk offensive pressure, or a drive challenge as a 1st man to create play-action opportunities through demos and boost control. Slow down the rotation back to defense and lurk in the midfield to increase awareness for demos, cuts, and pass outlets. Midfield coverage can also be accomplished in a defensive rotation by pushing through the defensive corner to mid-boost or widening that rotation to the midfield. Rocket League is an incredibly situational game where a single play can be done in countless ways to produce the same outcome. Players must have an open mind when it comes to decision-making, as every decision may have a more efficient option. Position-based decision-making is an easy way for players to simplify their game sense, and the corner serves as a great example, as it's a hot zone for ball control and player movement due to the sidewall ramp and big-boost pads.
