This is a Rocket League quiz sort of video that is meant to test your ability to make the correct decisions in Rocket League. The most underrated skill in Rocket League is good decision making. People often wonder why RUclipsrs seem way worse than their rank shows. This is because good decision making is invisible when watching someone's gameplay. Many Rocket League players think their teammates are the reason why they can't rank up but more often than not, the true reason is because of the player's lack in trust of their teammates. This Rocket League video not only lets you test and guess what players at multiple ranks should do in certain situations, but it also shows you why certain decisions are right or wrong. If you can improve your mental game in Rocket League you'll be ranking up faster than you ever have before. Chances are, right now, you're a player that has great mechanics and bad decision making abilities. You just don't realize it. I know plenty of Rocket League grand champions that seem to have awful mechanics but they still are grand champ because they almost always make the right choice. In short, if you didn't get a great score on this test, your mental game should be your next main focus if you want to get better and rank up.

To those of you about to comment that my answers are incorrect, please read:
This video was made with the intention of helping players test their knowledge of making the correct decisions given a short amount of time to think. The truth is, in any given play, there are often multiple good choices, not just one. Because of this, I purposely tried to give one answer that was clearly a better option than the others and then explain why that option is better. Just because you would have done something that wasn't even on the list of options, doesn't mean it's a bad decision. Hope this clears some stuff up! :)
The only questionable answers you gave was #2 and #4
#2: if he had been backpost he would have saved the shot if it was on target and since it wasnt he could have taken control with the space given to him.
#4: His decisions were good. The mistakes came from Comm, who rotated front post and centered the ball. The only mistake the player in view made was driving up to the ball when Comm is coming towards the ball like that, but in all honesty i would have gone up for the ball expecting Comm not to touch the ball.
Everything else was good dude. A lot of players can definitly learn from this and no matter your skill level its good practice to evalute situations on the fly.
@@jan7097 Hard disagree on your analysis of #4. Comm is still in that corner and that means he's still putting out pressure on the ball (if he wasn't, he'd rotate back or go forward anticipating a pass). This means you should only go when you have a touch that guaranteed clears the ball in such a way that the opposing team can't immediately clear it back to your side. This wasn't the case for this touch and as such you should wait for it to be clear that Comm is no longer going for the ball. This is also in your interest because it allows your third more time to rotate.
The mistake made by the player in the video on #4 was that he crept forward to the middle of the goal. That shot would have been perfectly saveable from the back post.
I think the same and it annoyed me that bad that i also post something like that.These are not mistakes at all.There is so much more behind a wrong decision than just your position on field and your boost.apreciate im not the only one that thinks so.
#8 I would say you made the right call to go back post in most situations but seeing as they were down 2 goals with 50 seconds left hoping for a good clear and redirect to have a chance at winning seems like a fine option as the extra goal doesn't really matter at that point
i got the champ 1 wrong, the first GC, and the last GC because i didn't think he had time to go for that challenge.
you're about to score a goal, what do you do?
A.go back post
B.go back post
C.go back post
lol123 lmfaaaooooo!!!!!
That’s so funny man if u had i Chanel I would sub 69 times! XF
Ummmmmm C I don't really know
You forgot D.go back post
OMG I GOT THE CORRECT ANSWER AND IT WAS....
go back post
This is an awesome concept, and well executed video. I really like your style of explaining the reason why the decision is correct :)
:D
XD two goats congratulating each other how awesome have a good day you two
Only third reply?
Number 4 A B or C I choose D change cammra setting

Wayton: A, B or C?
GC stuck in plat: *challenge*
Best comment ever
That's me lmao
I’m stuck in gold
I just escaped plat yesterday and diamnond I is so much different. Way better and now i even see myself as a defender because evertone hits the ball really good, in plat half of the time they missed aireals and shit
I am a plat stuck in GC
Why is plat so much harder, they're just so unpredictable. I'm like ok my tm8s gonna challenge, oh no his dominos is here
This is why I'm stuck in plat, teammates are always unreliable and unpredictable, despite doing the right thing, my teammate will always interfere with me
@@Kettvnen
Yep I'll be ready at backpost perfectly good boomer shot lined up and teammate will cut in front of me and own goal it. I feel like at plat, even though I'm the same rank, my teammates have no awareness of where the ball will go if they hit it so they just hit it as fast as they can and more often than not it's a pass to our enemies. I've worked a lot on my mechanics and decision making and literally every game I'll get cut off on a perfectly good shot that I set up and then they spam sorry in chat. And it happens so often that it's just not cool anymore.
@@DreamBeatsBakery it's so relatable omfg
I mean I’m silver and yesterday I lost a game to my teammate making an own save, he blocked MY shot on goal and we lost 4-3 in overtime, the previous game I was dribbling the ball down the left and my teammate just following behind me just chasing the ball when I’m clearly in possession already, this is why I hate solo queuing, most teammates seem to play duos as a 1v1v2 like there is no teammate.
Edit: Ik silver is trash but I’ve only have 30 hours on the game over about a month so...
@@LilCheesyBean this is why i only played 1v1s on my very early days (2015-2016ish), i dont have to stress about my teammates
2:54 the answer is D. Go into settings and immediately go the camera tab
Mitchell Dickson 😂😂
honestly hes not the only one
😂😂😂👌
What are good camera settings?
erivera8193 use a pro his settings
8:49 Where should you pass it? pfff, look man im just hoping to hit it at that point.
GC gameplay not plat boi
Those are balls u pass at GC lol that’s why it’s the top rank
When you are GC you need to play smart
Yeah i'm a diamond can't even imagine scoring with a pass like that
I would have turned every situation into a ground to air dribble musty flick double tap. EZ
True yeah that’s probably the best choice lmao
LMFAO
Actuall genius
That’s why ur in bronze 😭
@@damiangudina ohhh u idiot stfu
Your significant other texts you in the middle of the game and says "We need to talk"
What do you do?
-Leave the game and immediately call them
-Finish your game, then text their best friend and ask what's been going on with them
-Go back post
Answer here is obvious
Back post???
I got all of them right but in game i get all of them wrong XD
Yeah lol I gave 5 seconds to answer these questions but in game it has to be completely natural in less than a second
@@WaytonPilkin Yup and i feel like thats the biggest thing keeping me from keeping gc and the format for this vid is great you could start bringing people on to see what they answer kinda like a game show thing(you do you of course though)
Same here I will be able to think logically when out if game but in game I panic or I'm thinking to fast so I'm cutting my team off not that I dont trust them but I just panic (I'm only silver)
Haha yeah I'm a p1 player and got them right but I'd never be able to do it in an actual game since I have alot of distrust in teammates and I'm allergic to back post
You're not alone
Gets all right
*looks at rank*
"Silver 3"
Imao thats me but i play 2s
I got 5 wrong and I’m gold 3
I AM silver 3
@@iamnothuman77dartdontlie66 I got 3 wrong and I'm silver 2
This is just positioning, your mechanics is whats making you silver
Can definitely see all the work that went in to this one - it’s always nice to have different opportunities to think about the game. Nice video!
If you analyze your game play like this you actually learn a lot :D
Wayton: How did you guys do? Did you get them all right?
*Answers all of them wrong*
Me: Yeah, i got them all right.
Anything happens
Wayton Pilkin: GO BACK POST
LMAO true though

I mean he ain’t wrong
Defence is the best offennce!
"Im up for a juicy double tap"
Wayton: *"BACK POST"*
I WANT MORE.
This is literally THE ONLY CONTENT which nobody makes and it's so useful.
Here, Ill help you out with some more content.
GO BACK POST.
ikr, u can actually practice it to do it faster, that will give u alot of awareness in game
D. Call your teammates "trash" and throw a fit at the 4:12 mark of the game. But don't FF.
Why?
You forgot D in every question: bang the ball into your own net and say your teammates suck, then sit in a corner the rest of the match
Don’t forget to turtle spin
Good vid man but some of these outcomes would change depending on if it’s 2v2 or 3v3. Any chance u could do a 2v2 specific vid? Would help a lot. Thanks
Yeah 2v2 is definitely different. All the situations in here were 3v3. I might do a 2v2 version in the future.
Wayton Pilkin this was a great post I’m definitely coming back in the future to rewatch this.
Stay away from 2s if you want to be a competitive player at this game xD
A couple made me second guess because I couldn't see a third guy lol I thought it was a mix of 3v3 and 2v2 for a second lol
Stolen Gold why? Even pros play ranked twos a decent amount, makes you play faster & you rely on less people. All 3 core game modes are good for being a competitive player for their own reasons.
2:50 I would change his camera settings
Didnt realise 7:29 was orange so I was waiting for, "Use epic car control to redirect the ball into the top right
made my day :D
ovi noob
But he said he is orange also thats a rlcs move

Drinking challenge: Take a drink or shot every time Wayton says “back post”.
I amsdo drjnkkk
This is easily the best RL Vid i have seen for weeks. Acording to my answers i didn`t even know that backposts exist xD Great Job and Keep it up!
Ez noob
Same, was wondering why I mess up saved xD
MMR is stored in the backpost.
Option D: don’t Trust teammate and take his dribble and miss the open goal.
Honestly, focusing on positioning back post when defending improved my save percentage by A LOT, thanks dude, dont know why I didnt know this before :D
Most useful video seriously make this a series or something good work keep it up!
I agree
Really the first actual instructional video that wasn’t just watching dudes air dribble all game. Well done!
So what you're saying is, if I wanna hit GC....I just needa go back post!?
I loved this type of video! One thing that would make it easier to follow is if it was made clearer which team the player is on in each situation. For a while I thought it was always the left color on the scoreboard but that seems to have changed.
I don't usually comment on video's, but I have to say, that this video idea of interacting with the audience at different levels is brilliant, really enjoyed it and I hope to see more of this, I'll also be subscribing! Awesome video mate!
Love this vid! Missed 3 Q's hence why Im in plat lol I need more of these please
That moment when even a plat play teaches u.. im champ
Js FreestyleZ Then you probably have very high mechanical skill (Ceiling shots, Air dribbles), don’t you?
@@tilimo007 yupp 😀
Js FreestyleZ Haha, nice. I am the opposite. Don’t know how to do both but I am still champ because I know the tactics a bit better. Any recommandation for a good teacher for learning air dribbles?
@@tilimo007 well there are some basic tips that u need to know and use, then u are ur own teacher by keeping and using these tips
@zMeliodas not everything can be learned in training its not always that easy some things are based of of experience like for example most of the pros were even playing SARPBC and have like more than 5k hours on rocket league
This was my favorite video so far! I just started playing and since this game is so dynamic it is hard to find specific advice on what to do in certain situations. There are a lot of videos on mechanics but not that many that highlight decision making. I'd love to see more like this! I think i missed 2 of them. Ive already seen a bunch of your videos tho, so the back post ones were easy 😂
After watching this video. I really sat down to analyze my gameplay, and let me tell you this helped so much. I went and balled out. I got like 23/26 wins in like around 3 hours. I went from C1 D1 to C2 D3. So yeah. I feel like a totally new player, thanks for the tips
Plant how the heck do you win 20-30 games and go up one division XD
Samuel Willcox Went up 7 divisions actually. Went up 1 whole rank. Now sitting at a comfortable C3 aiming for GC.
Yo thats what happened to me but it was plat 1 d1 to plat 2 d4
3:50 I think going for the near post with your back turned into it would be better.
Literally a perfect video. I learned so much thank you!
3 wrong answers. Still no way im getting out of gold
@@dietis13 Exactly this, makes me anger
FogsFles y’all obviously don’t know how to play the game
I got 3 wrong and I’m high diamond
snc237 I got 1 wrong and I’m in silver
I got none wrong and I'm low-mid diamond
Awesome video as always, glad to see you only provide top quality content. Still waiting for you to pop off my dude
Dude... That was the best video you've ever made!! Please make more of these!
I missed 2 of them, both were ones where the right option was to challenge, tells me I subconsciously may not trust my teammate that is last back, so I would rather wait and see than dive in, gotta break that I guess
Same
Realize that sometimes you can challenge and force them to make a move letting your teammate have the ball back whil yyou rotate back
There’s something I try and remember always. It don’t matter how much boost you have if the other team is going to score, try and save it if you don’t have time to get boost. Don’t risk the chance of them scoring for boost, this is why I also train saving and scoring with no boost, this skill helps A TON.
In summary, GO BACK POST !
I like that you’re wayyyy less condescending than a lot of the rocket league RUclipsrs who try to make instructional videos like this
Awesome vid. Just got 1 wrong. Cant wait for the next one in the series.
4:54 his teammate did the right thing because he scored the goal before the defender from the right came to the ball, if their teammate didn't go for the ball directly it would've been too late to score
See for #9 I trust them with the save but then they whiff which ends up with the same result
The only difference is then that you made the right decision vs the wrong one, so what's to lose?
Plat mentality
Awesome video and a great idea. It was super helpful. You should really consider making this an ongoing series. Either way you earned a sub.
What I learned?
Go back post
I wanted something like this for so long. Very well done. Please do more!
I never thought of these decisions before, maybe it will help me
They are trash lmao
Basically, you just need to consider "is there anyone able to defend this ball if it gets pass me?"
If yes - challenge, or wait to see what happens depending on where your third teammate is (if it's 3's)
If no - go back post to defend or shadow defend depending on your position on the field (whether you're close to your net or not).
Then you also need to consider "is there anyone able to shoot this ball, or is anyone going to challenge the ball?"
You get the idea.
You should ALWAYS be thinking. Just because it's a game doesn't mean you should stop thinking. You need to take into consideration what the opponents are doing and what your team is doing so that you can make the most intelligent decision which increases probability of winning.
OMG why aren't there more videos like this!? Great format and content man!
Got pretty much all right but am c1... I need skill XDD
Also on the last one I was 50/50. Challenge cause there is no real chance for a pass or d: rotate back instantly cause there was a double commit which could have turned into a pass towards the enemies leaving the tm8 back in a 1v2. or worse, made your last tm8 commit leaving the net wide open
Christoph L ya if u challenge that and miss and the guy hits it mid its a 2v1 for your tm8 and u just double commited. It could go either way
The double commit is okay as long as he challenges whilst still moving back though imo. he might have a slightly slower recovery and slightly less boost but he'll be there. So challenge is okay, if your tm8 in back messes up then you clearly missed the challenge too so you cant be mad. Right?
joe mcalister yh, but the m8 from the right also comes from a shit angle. It could have been the worst pinch ever.
I mean, they call it 50/50 for a reason XDD
8:50 is really arguable (and it's not the only case): Passing to your left is the worst idea here. Cheekylad AND K1rn both go from the the right to the left with a good amount of speed, if your receiving teammate on the left doesn't get your idea, both would be able to shoot a good shot. Passing it to your right means passing against their driving direction what makes both very harmless, they will need time to take a turn. Also shooting is a better idea than passing it to your left. I agree that the ball's gonna be saved most likely but honestly your teammate to your left is driving towards your own goal. You have 3 challenges here: 1) Making a good pass 2) Hoping that your teammate gets your idea 3) Your teammate hitting the ball good. You may also just take the risk and shoot it and hope for a good rebound.
Great video! I love ur style and it was fun answering these questions. I got like 8 or 9 out of 12 right but when I heard the rigt answer I was like 'woooahhh right why didn't I say that? It's obvious...' every time 😂 I played a few more rounds after that and noticed how I got better by staying a bit more back and going back post instead of the middle of the goal. Thanks a lot!
This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm surprised I haven't heard of you based on the quality. Great content, keep it up! If you keep putting out content with this kind of quality I hope your fan base blows up, you deserve it. Subscribed with notifications (which is extremely rare for me).
Me: Never played the game before
Also Me: gets them all right
youre a grandplat5 already
Really useful information! First vid of yours I've come across, so glad I did! Keep up the good work pal!
I’m in bronze, so didn’t expect to do well. I got 2/3 on all ranks, is that good?
For a bronze, yes, for a diamond, kinda, for a gc, no
7:00 since they are down 2 goals and there is a minute left, the correct choice would be to go mid field and hope your teammates pass it to you. I understand that the back post is the general and correct answer but it doesnt create any chances for a comeback.
I’m still wondering how this guy only has 5k
I'm at about 12 hours of play and I'm in Plat 1 on 3v3s. I got all those questions for Plats right. Now tons of players in my 3v3s can pull off way more skilled shots and aerials than I can barely hit 1 out of 10 times since I'm brand new--but positioning and reading the ball is just KEY in this game. Had people in comments throwing a bit of a fit at me on another channel for my rank being that high so new but most players don't get how much position matters. Skilled shots are awesome but unless you're high enough consistent rank to pull them off I'll usually be the one there to get it when you as a teammate miss or an opposing player overcommits.
I got all of the correct answers, but i know that i still do a lot of these things wrong :) (im now champ 2)
I'm always playing with teammates that do these mistakes. I KNOW it's my ball... I'm sitting on background, I clear it to corner and I'm still mid-air flying for the ball to get another touch in order to beat more defenders. Everyone can see me doing it. Yet, somehow, my team thinks it's an intelligent decision to hit the ball for me?
One of my friends ALWAYS sits in net. One friend will be front with the ball, I'll be in some place waiting for a pass or waiting to see what happens. Friend is all the way in net just sitting there.
I'll have rotated back and am now pushing up field as a friend rotates back. The ball is rolling back and for some reason my friend blasts the ball to the side wall. I'm literally RIGHT THERE.
These things just happen ALL THE TIME.
Champ 1.
I got almost all wrong and I'm champ 2 too hahahah
I actually got a lot right and im a high dia/low champ guy. I'am also never that guy who think I'm better than others. This to me just proves my idea's and plans mostly are right, but i lack the ball and car control to execute my plans making me be at the rank i currently am.
Recently stumbled upon your video's and i really like the content you make. Keep it up you have a new sub ;)
Where gonna start off at platinum level
Me a bronze one: *Takes notes*
7:10
It should have been The redirect option.
The game is almoçar ending and they are losing 4-2 so he should trust his teammate with that shot to The mid and take The pass to Then advance with his teammate on The right side so they can score
My opinion
When you get them all right but your in silver
I ask myself for 2 weeks now why I stuck in c3, and now I have the answer from this video, i do the front post mistakes sometimes. I stay more on the front post than on the back post sometimes and I get scored on many times because of that mistake, I’m glad u helped with that video keep up the work dude ! 👍🏼
You say these mistakes are for everyone rank, yet i think you are assigning each mistake to a single rank. A perfect example would be at 2:07 , in this rank yes that would have been the right answer but in champ + it was wrong. Instead of just waiting for the ball to come you should push up more and then challenge the ball in the air since your tm8 is rotating behind and the enemy tm8 is rotating and flipping back. Moving forward more instead of an immediate challenge will also give your tm8 more time to get in a better position and wait for the ball to get lower for an easier challenge. Then you should fly up to ball hitting on the more upper part to force it downwards and under the opponent. Then the ball is already going in the direction of your third tm8 who can take possession. Then you rotate back while your tm8 in net rotates out to make a play with the other.
His answer was to push up more, into the midfield. However he was saying don't just yeet yourself into the air like that player did because either of those opponents would beat him cleanly to the ball and he is a wasted defender. I think the big difference you would see is a high ranked player would probably start from a different position based on the previous gameplay/boost, and be able to challenge for at least a 50/50.
subscribed, I think you may have just found your niche and place on YT. Here is to hoping you make this into a series and your channel blows up! Looking forward to more high quality videos from you.
I’m surprised but I got them all right
TurboTurtle910 __ I missed 2 but it was kinda hard to tell where the other players where so it was harder to choose
Rank?
And if youre surprised then you mustve guess on a few/good amount of them
IsaiasSoldier2 I’m only a plat so I was suprised
TurboTurtle910 __ so yeah, most likely guessed correctly. There’s a lot of fundamentals to why you make certain decisions in this game a lot of it comes down to game experience on the game. Either way, hopefully this video is a good learning tool for you :)
#8 imo going in midfield was the right choice, because there was his teammate defending backpost
Anyone else thought this was sunlesskhan from thumbnail
Hope your channel keeps growing!
Big yikes im gc i got 2 wrong ( i picked fromt post twice lol)
See the thing is though in GC we could get away with doing certain things more because of our mechanics and ability to hit the ball like #6 I think is wrong the ball is too low for him to try to double it but then again we’re at a higher level that guy in net had him beat 100 percent of the time
@@cakingkid yeh I said defend since hes literally staring at the ball
Joshua Whiteman I would’ve stayed you know your team is heading back so it’s fine judging from how he came that guy is either hitting it to you or to the corner which you could get from either way
I Really feel the correct choice on 3 was to defend because the opponent had advantage on the hit and with one of your teammates committing to a block and your other flying through the air a simple lob shot in this case would be nearly impossible to react to when that close to the ball. A bad 50/50 or pinch could easily go past you unless you immediately prepared to retreat right on the hit.
This is an amazing video. Do more please :)
there's someone in your house at 3 a.m; what do you do?
a. try to defend yourself
b. sneak and call the police
c. *go back post*
It is c, go back post
All but one right, I missed the one where the teammate was forced to jump because I didn't see it, decision making is just as if not more important than mechanics in my opinion, top tip save your replays and pick them apart just like this video, it really helps
Nice video dude, great to get some insight in to higher level decision making - I got all except the last one.
You are dribble towards the opponent’s net with 100 boost and no one back for their team. What do you do?
A. Flick the ball
B. Dribble it in
C. Go back post
Answer: go back post because you missed the flick off the crossbar and the opposing team got a counter attack you may not have seen the danger but it’s there. Just go back post and everything will be fine.👍
thank u so much for clarifying I've really been wondering on a lot of these situations which is the best and most common approach
Great video, this has helped me and alot of other people think more and get better about their decision-making skills.
Keep up the great content! Really looking forward to your next video.
I like your vids and I can see some inspiration of sunless vids style but you are making it your own version which is pretty good gl m8
Loved this video format! Super helpful!
Up to Champ I had all the answers right. It's easy, when you have time to analyze. What makes it hard is making the decisions ingame and under pressure.
Would definitely love to see more of these - even ones dedicated to certain ranks/plays, etc. Super fun!
Just found your videos. They’re very well done. Keep it up man
Man I love this video. You should make another one of it
Been here since the beginning! Love your content!
This is a great video. I would appreciate more of these.
Keep making these videos =) Quite interesting to watch.
Hey, I love this concept, do you make other videos like this one ? Like a quizz :)
This theoretical stuff is actually extremely helpful (got 3 mistakes, I think). I usually play 2s and still can’t get out of gold (mostly because I’m too lazy to spend hours on mechanical training), but its videos like these that actually help me improve my position and game reading and cover a lot of my mechanical problems by, well, not doing stupid things in the first place. Also, this is one of the first if not the very first video that I’ve seen that actually gives solid explanations on why it’s better to go back post instead of near post or mid-goal. I’d definitely want to see some more of these “quizzes”. Also, happy new year:)
I got up to plat and then started using two possible options which brought me up to around Diamond 2
This is honestly so helpful. I played a few games and I was at diamond 1 div 4 and now I’m diamond 2 div 2 thanks for the great tips
Can you make a video about proper times to challenge and proper times to shadow?
I’m C3 and too many times I see teammates (in 2s) shadow as 1st man up. I’m in net trying to decide when to challenge because I don’t wanna double commit and cause both of us to be out of the play
I'm pretty new to your channel and I just want to say, I love your editing.
I recently ranked up to gold, and i managed to do them up until GC. I did have to pause sometimes tho, which is why im not champ.
