Playing 1v1 helps to show the value in retaining possession and taking control, rather than just hitting stuff away and trying to make the opponent awkward. I think it is very helpful.
@@kwism834 “rather than JUST making the opponent awkward” is what I said. Putting the opponent in a bad spot is sometimes better than a controlled play.
Even though I agree with you, I still very much agree with SpookLuke. I believe that players in the lower ranks just don't actually learn from 1v1, because they don't understand WHY something worked better or worse. Like banging the ball on net in 1s can get you a lot of goals (especially in lower ranks), but in 2s and 3s there is suddenly another defender and you're just giving possession.
While you are right, it doesn't really apply below Plat. At lower ranks the best strategy is to give the ball away and wait for your opponent to mess up badly enough that you have a free goal. Not a good set of habits to pick up.
the solution for casual games before ranked is not not to play casual at all but play the casual match as if u would play ranked and get warmed and prepared. and for mechanic stuff same as for all other skillsets: breakdown the complex skillset into smallerparts and practise the parts isolated (checkpoint plugin, trainingpack, workshopmaps). that works for any skillset in life bcos thats the way how the brain learns
Most tips are pretty spot on but 1v1s will teach you better car control, better ball control, boost control, speed and recoveries and value of meaningful pleys. Yes, you might not have all the mechanics at first but you learn and develop skills way faster because you have way more situations and time on ball in a game compared to 3v3 where the biggest things are rotations and situational awarness. Ask most pros how to improve your skills and theyll say 1s with free play and workshops.
was about to say the same 1v1 is better to play learn things because you get all the time to yourself where as in lower ranks 2s or 3s your tm8 goes for your ball when you are dribbling
I guess it depends but what you said works for people who learn after being shown. Thats how i learn stuff. I get scored on in a new way i go "whoa ok so thats a thing that can happen" then i try it. Good point though
I like what Luke said about playing the game mode you enjoy the most at first though. You can learn all those same mechanics in 3s and 2s, but there are a lot of players who don't enjoy 1s and find it very tilting to lose solely because of their own mistakes. I was like that for a long time and honestly still don't enjoy 1s all that much. Trying to improve is great but putting yourself through something you don't enjoy for it is just not necessary.
Watching high level 1v1 is pretty useful, especially when a player gets outplayed rather than it being a pure mechanical play. Example would be a more grounded 1v1 player that focuses on bounce dribbles, and hook shots.
1s rank is more of a mind bender. in diamond 1s, there are people who are gc1 in 2s and close to gc in 3s, its not an outdated tip, its a misunderstood one
For sure lol. I’m GC and am in diamond in 1s because I enjoy just going for dumb mechanics rather than super sweat. I meet of ton of other GCs in diamond though
I found it really hard to just sit and play around in free play when starting out. felt way too boring. wasn’t until recently when I started to actually enjoy using it. maybe it was because I was younger? or maybe having things I actually want to practice getting better at now.
I feel the same. In gold it makes no sense to grind Freeplay. Just get on and have fun. But now there's things I can practice and intentionally do instead of rolling the ball around
@@Ragdollmaster333 yea once I passed gold and got into Plat, it just kinda clicked, and now feels good to play around it sometimes. I don’t spend TONS of time like some people say to do, but I do a bit when waiting for Tournaments or something.
Me the same, now that I can actually feel or see that I'm really close to hacking the air dribble, but also only since I've changed my keybinds (again) and my controller grip too. Also, I've been doing the setups in matches quite really good quite often. As well as with my current working controller I can or more often do half-flips lekke and I've gone on to trying some speedflips and it's totally achievable. - All more fun in freeplay now :D
Isn’t that with everything as intricate as RL? Like a guitar is pretty boring for me, but my buddy can just shred all day. He’s discovered more fun ways to play. Same with RL and free play in my view. Kind of boring when you know the controls but your brain and fingers are not on the same page
I'm watching pros replays not for their mechanics(since I'm not mechanical) but for their game decisions. It helps a lot try it. Know where to go. When to challenge. When to shadow, etc. Try to do this before you hop on ranks. I promise you it gives you momentum before you even warm up in freeplay/ranks.
Disagree with no.7 to some extent. Noticed a lot of new players have an inability to power clear. It doesn't mean; use it all the time, but being able to is important
I've played a lot of casual matches because I dislike the pressure of having a rank. So I've been gaining some mmr, and I'm now playing with gc's in case every now and then. I'm c1 in 2s and 3s, so I'd say playing some cas matches as a warm-up is actually good for me since I play with better players in cas than ranked. But in general it might not be a good warm-up. (Before the cas games I always train in Leth's rings map and freeplay)
I think copying a pros settings is still a great tip. Default settings are so garbage that most people would have no clue where to even begin fixing the settings. Copying a pros settings gives you a base from which to start tweaking to preference.
@@azikkii nah there's just some settings that are objectively bad for you, and it will be highly beneficial to get used to optimal settings before your own settings start to hold you back, which could be hundreds or even thousands of hours in, when resetting your muscle memory will be a very frustrating process. When Luke says this is his biggest regret he says that because he chose to copy awful settings from a pro, which was driving with left stick, and this is still holding him back because it's so hard to reset that muscle memory. His tip should be to do research on optimal settings rather than flat out saying not to copy
Yo man, I watched a lot of tutorials and this one actually helped me. I've been stuck at platinum for months. Today I finally made diamond! All I had to do was relax. I became super good at reading the ball and defending so now all I have to do is wait for an opportunity. So thank you
nice one, just focus on adapting and trusting your teammates, im c1-c2 and i still find trusting yur teammates difficult, but rotating back post and watch your opponents and teammates when you aren’t on the ball is really helpful, especially in diamond. i also recommend not covering the same parts of the pitch when attacking and defending as your tm8 as it allows you to become more spacious. hope this helped 👍
@@johnmcginnlover77 It absolutely did, thank you. Maybe one day I'll see you out there on the field. Next step is to find a teammate as dedicated to the game as I am.
@@sunvol4503 i had trouble with that as well! however i win more games solo queuing at the moment simply because i’ve adapted to new playstyles more as i did before. glad that helped.
I do training packs daily before I play, look thru the custom ones and you will find some good stuff, there's lots of packs I've trained with that I actually use in games
@Pananasti that's a great one, one of the ones I use daily, also shadow defense ones are great to use as well, sadly alot of people forget to train defensive
Hey spookluke, I’ve been wondering how to do a Ariel but can’t quite get there do you think you can train me. (PS) I’ve been watching you for 2 years now
"If you've made it to this point in the video you're probably a competitive player" *me who frequently gets up in the middle of his 1v1s to grab a glass of water*
Thank you very much for all your tips, Luke! They will definitely help me when it comes to game sense and mentality for my next ranked matches. I’m a Platinum in 3’s and Diamond in 2’s and I’m striving to improve my game, also sharing your intel with friends. Looking forward to watching more from you 🙌
Finally someone who agrees with the 1v1 thing. It's not skill until you are higher ranks i.e. Gc -SSL. Meaning you aren't learning any "skills" by your opponent messing up and GIVING you a free ball that you didn't earn.
Nice tips @SpookLuke. I found out if I change my off- ball cam swivel speed in setting to high I can switch off ball cam to instantly view what in front of me when going for boost "after" I make a clear or pass even if it takes burning boost to get full boost. This keeps me in the game, steals boost from opponent, and always keeping me boosted up. Also i love the fact that you address to NOT go for boost (B.O.B) on Kickoffs. Cheating up to the ball is better... So Please plat players listen up. And please address player rotating ALL THE WAY BACK to camping under the goal with tm8 is challenging and makes a play, and then looks back and the other tm8 is way back at the goal, What?? BTW, I use 1v1s as my training before Freeplay.. I bind my Boost button to (A) and my Jump is set to X. This allows my thumb to fit perfectly over but buttons! ad give my index finger freedom to use the top R-button much easier.
You actually might benefit from mapping boost to a button not controlled by the same finger that controls jump. Making this configuration eliminates accidental stall flipping speed aerials. Mapping right air roll to B and boost to r1 is a super easy configuration switch that still allows great control!
@@GalactusTheDestroyer yes, but the same finger (right thumb) controls both of those inputs. If you separate them, you won't have to utilizes that thumb to press two buttons at once
My casual MMR is Champion when my highest competitive ranks are Diamond. Casual is absolutely where I warm up because I always get some really hard matches going before I get into the actual sweat of ranked.
I may only be a diamond player but I have noticed a big thing thatss a problem around my skill level is the fact that people have trouble reading the ball still and rotate the wrong way because of that. So one thing I like to do in freeplay seeing how I don't have access to special maps without a pc is just hitting the ball in weird ways. Not trying to score a goal or anything. Just hit the ball off the wall and try to get possesion of it again with the ball only hitting the ground one time per hit. So essentially hit the ball, let ball hit wall, let ball bounce once and try to hit the ball off the wall again before it bounces twice. It got me much better at reading the ball. Now if I see someone hitting the ball when im rotating back, ill know which side to be on before the ball hits the ground. Also helps understand what the opponent might try to make a play on. Helps you know what you should try to follow and what to let your team mate push. Don't know how much sense this makes to other people but it worked for me. My positioning is probably one of my better attributes in league.
I'm new and I basically spend a lot of my time in free play trying to find perfect settings for me and learning car control and how to do things like jump off the wall and take good touches 🙏
I'm so glad I found Luke! I'm 2 weeks into the game and I love it. I only ask do you have a camera and sens settings video? I play on switch if that helps...
Most of these are extremely valid, the issue is context. No context behind the tips without a deep understanding of the game leads to the bad habits mentioned
So I’m Gc but I feel like I’ve been washed for seasons. I still get Gc, but I don’t feel like I deserve it. I’m a hard center but don’t score much. Any recommendations?
I got to champ in many game modes in both solo and group queue and have maintained that rank for seasons now. I have nearly zero mechanical skill, like I can't even dribble or do wall hits consistently at all, and focused basically only on rotation and game sense. It's true that my only way to rank up now is to work on my mechanical skill, but it also goes to show that just fundamentals can take you pretty damn high.
Is far post rotation outdated? I'm someone who played back in 2015. I've continued to play with that type of rotation (with passes and pushing up etc) but most team mates i find EXCLUSIVELY rotate near post. Am i doing something wrong? I'm talking C1+ ranks
So, I'm a Boomer Rocket League player on Xbox..hovering around Plat 3...I've tried to use freeplay to improve my mechanics, but my dedicated air roll buttons are RB and LB, respectively. In freeplay, RB auto resets the play and LB shoots the ball...I've found no way to turn that off, so besides rebinding my controller and relearning everything, how else can I practice, outside of casual games? And yes, I have a regular air roll button bound with powerslide that works, but it's the dedicated air roll I'd like to work on more. Any info is greatly appreciated, gents.
Just rebind the ones that annoy you. Leave the fundamentals the same. Right stick click is a spare button to rebind something to. As it only looks backwards in game. It took a bit of playing around and getting used to, but wasn't so bad. I have played over 25k games of RL btw
Does only using octane or that other car only tip still goes? Or can I use my formula race car? Because I seriously do not like the octane at all, and the f1 car fits better for me
Is something up with the ranks or sumn shit im champ in 2s plat in 1s ,usually d3 in both.Some ones seem like champs some are literal plat level.People im against are complaining about this aswell?
i jumped in discord to check it out... i love his videos, have learned alot... did not feel welcomed on discord as a gold... was told by trainers there that i dont need training, i need to just play the game more... but its ok, i get smashed with emails spamming his services, so maybe one day ill get better and still have 1b emails to find my way back
Find yourself a good training pack that you like and drill it til you dont miss (I like Ground Shots by Poquito, but thats just me) its not a perfect solution but the goal is to show you how to hit the ball into the net from different angles… more for your minds eye than for your raw skill
The only setting I've copied from anyone is the distance behind the car the game starts you as a 1st person game and I got way better after a friend told me I can scoot the camera back the other settings I've guessed on
So my defense in platinum has not been getting any better if anything it’s been getting worse and people keep beating me by a lot of goals and I keep making bad decisions. Do you have any tips to help me improve my defending?
I know for me, changing my mindset from "get the ball away from the opponent/stop the ball from entering my goal" to "how can I use my car to take away x shooting lane(s)" made a big difference. Defence at mid to high level becomes less about stopping the ball from being in the goal and more about how to make the ball threaten you less
I quit ranked a while back and started freestyling and I started using realllyyy high sens settings. When I started ranked again, I found that I can literally play on any sensitivity now lol
I started off in this game as a silver and my friends were all plats or better but i played with them a lot and now i am still a rank below but we still have a good chance due too chemistry
I gotta tell you something, yesterday i started playing rocket league for the first time. Now im 6h20m in gameplay time and just finished my last placement game. Im plat 1.
Great vid all these tips are super helpful. One thing I’d add is that if you are serious about improving and play on console, invest in a pc. I recently got a pc and it has made my life so much easier after pouring over 2k hours in on a mf Nintendo switch.
a switch? thats barely a console. I had a buddy who played on ps4 and tried playing on his switch and he couldnt do it. I did notice a difference from PS4 to PS5 but not from PS5 to PC. Only good thing about PC is its easier to shit talk and workshop maps are great! Oh and UNDERGLOW! lmao
Great tips in here. I find watching your videos makes my gameplay better. one thing I've noticed is my lack of training time. definitely have to spend more time there

Best RL training youtuber out there. Much love Luke!
Is far post rotation outdated? I'm someone who played back in 2015. I've continued to play with that type of rotation (with passes and pushing up etc) but most team mates i find EXCLUSIVELY rotate near post. Am i doing something wrong? I'm talking C1+ ranks
Can you do a best way to warm up of people who are not on pc?
can you do a rotation 1s tutorial luke? i have troble i dont know how to rotate in 1s i know how to in 2s and 3s though
I just wish those pc training packs would come to console. 2023 wish 😞
Is SpookLuke's Training Club the server code?
less gooo here from discord bby
Yo can you please do a car design video because I still dont know what colours you use
So, I'm a Boomer Rocket League player on Xbox..hovering around Plat 3...I've tried to use freeplay to improve my mechanics, but my dedicated air roll buttons are RB and LB, respectively. In freeplay, RB auto resets the play and LB shoots the ball...I've found no way to turn that off, so besides rebinding my controller and relearning everything, how else can I practice, outside of casual games? And yes, I have a regular air roll button bound with powerslide that works, but it's the dedicated air roll I'd like to work on more. Any info is greatly appreciated, gents.
You can rebind or completely remove the bind for the free play actions in controls
@@sirborksworth7074 Really?? Wow, I must have just missed it. I'll look for it, thanks man!
Just rebind the ones that annoy you. Leave the fundamentals the same. Right stick click is a spare button to rebind something to. As it only looks backwards in game. It took a bit of playing around and getting used to, but wasn't so bad. I have played over 25k games of RL btw
Does only using octane or that other car only tip still goes?
Or can I use my formula race car?
Because I seriously do not like the octane at all, and the f1 car fits better for me
it's what you like to use :) most just like octane hitbox from familiarity
I watch pros for positioning more than mechs is that bad too?
But the thing is I’m a 1v1 main in rocket league while I’m at gold should I test 2v2s or keep playing what I like (1v1)
do whatever playlist you want imo
Is something up with the ranks or sumn shit im champ in 2s plat in 1s ,usually d3 in both.Some ones seem like champs some are literal plat level.People im against are complaining about this aswell?
I did copy a pro freestylers setting but now used to it do I change it still
These edits🔥🔥
This vid improves the culture. Well done.
how do you get workshop maps. on pc not on steam
Anyone knows how to download those training packs on steam?
I got rocket league via Epic games and can never find those packs.
Thanks!
i jumped in discord to check it out... i love his videos, have learned alot... did not feel welcomed on discord as a gold... was told by trainers there that i dont need training, i need to just play the game more... but its ok, i get smashed with emails spamming his services, so maybe one day ill get better and still have 1b emails to find my way back
Find yourself a good training pack that you like and drill it til you dont miss (I like Ground Shots by Poquito, but thats just me) its not a perfect solution but the goal is to show you how to hit the ball into the net from different angles… more for your minds eye than for your raw skill
Give this man more subs! He’s underrated!
The only setting I've copied from anyone is the distance behind the car the game starts you as a 1st person game and I got way better after a friend told me I can scoot the camera back the other settings I've guessed on
what decal does spook use cause it looks really nice
My mate and I are plats in 1's but champ I'm 2's is that normal?

how much does it cost the coaching
So my defense in platinum has not been getting any better if anything it’s been getting worse and people keep beating me by a lot of goals and I keep making bad decisions. Do you have any tips to help me improve my defending?
I know for me, changing my mindset from "get the ball away from the opponent/stop the ball from entering my goal" to "how can I use my car to take away x shooting lane(s)" made a big difference. Defence at mid to high level becomes less about stopping the ball from being in the goal and more about how to make the ball threaten you less
Yes bro I'm a very competitive player!!! Love all of the tips and I hope you do good and I hope that I get better!!!!!
I dont have rocket league on steam so how do i get workshop maps? xD
I quit ranked a while back and started freestyling and I started using realllyyy high sens settings. When I started ranked again, I found that I can literally play on any sensitivity now lol
I recently put my aerial sens up higher than what I was used to and it honestly took my mechanics to a better level
same i feel like once ur control feels like it peaks u should up sens if its low. feels so much smoother
yeah that's what he recommended, start low and gradually build up as you get better
The new editing style is pretty cool and fluid. Pay your editor more. Videos feels immersive af.
-guys who watches alot of youtube lulz
The leth rings map just crashes the pc when i try to enter it
Sick 😫 ty for the info because I been having a hard time so I stopped playing rl 🙃 but I'll be back
hello i see this video for the first time im gc1 and the tipps are really helpfull vor low rankss😊
i learned so much through ur videos thx for making these ! ♥
Does anyone know spooks car design?? Please help
How can i get workshop
everyone goes for corner boost in my games and it's so annoying
Woah when did plats change to gold? 0:39
Bro i really want to join the coaching session:( but i wont make it in time its probably at max now
I love u Luke
How do I get into the free discord on my phone? I’m so lost I don’t use discord 😂
random question: is there a competitive difference in airroll right vs airroll left?
no
I started off in this game as a silver and my friends were all plats or better but i played with them a lot and now i am still a rank below but we still have a good chance due too chemistry
I feel that the only cam settings that should be copied off of is drku. I did it and now I can hit more accurate shots and helped with car control.
Bro this guy is so underrated :00
Upvoted for the cornerboost. It's so frustrating.
What the 4th tip doesn't address is epic games players. Can't do workshop maps sadly
I gotta tell you something, yesterday i started playing rocket league for the first time. Now im 6h20m in gameplay time and just finished my last placement game. Im plat 1.
How to install rings map??
i started grinding casualsbefore i ever started playing ranked, i got 1000mmr in casuals but am only plat2 in ranked
idk whats better the tips or the editing
How do u join discord
how can i join the server?
this was embarrassing at points because it perfectly justified my wrongs, but it was good to hear.
But what if I pass the ball to my teammates they keep on giving the ball away and if i don’t pass they bump me away to get the ball what do I do then
i garuntee all of your teammates arent that bad, but you should improve yourself by speeding up your offense
Casual before ranked works for checking internet connection 😅
His editor is off a bean
Bro I was champ before free play and I had stop playing untill weeks ago and i'm in shock with these tips
Great vid all these tips are super helpful. One thing I’d add is that if you are serious about improving and play on console, invest in a pc. I recently got a pc and it has made my life so much easier after pouring over 2k hours in on a mf Nintendo switch.
a switch? thats barely a console. I had a buddy who played on ps4 and tried playing on his switch and he couldnt do it. I did notice a difference from PS4 to PS5 but not from PS5 to PC. Only good thing about PC is its easier to shit talk and workshop maps are great! Oh and UNDERGLOW! lmao
@FATMAC2 I agree it’s a weak excuse of a console.
@@FATMAC2 smoother game play is another perk of pc over console, unless you go potato pc, also bakkes mod
As a D1 in snow day this video is cool yes I main snow day
Spokeluke does low rank players deserve goal explosions?
My opinion they don't deserve, what do you think?
Anyone can reply me!
Great tips in here. I find watching your videos makes my gameplay better. one thing I've noticed is my lack of training time. definitely have to spend more time there
