I’m enjoying this a lot, despite being absolutely horrendous at it. I think once Sloclap push out a few fixes to what is still currently a glorified beta it’s got the potential to be the new Rocket League, which has been my go-to game for the last decade.

That said, I’m having an absolute mare with the controls. Not so much how to control my player, but in terms of the sheer panic when I’ve got the ball and other players are bearing down on me. My fingers go to shit and I rarely pull off what I was attempting.

Anyone else having fun with the game, while also being terrible at it?

Its definitely hard to pick up and get good at controlling the ball and having spacial awareness. My issue is that regardless of having just picked up the game they try to learn the mechanics while 2v1 at midfield.

When I started I played back and let the game unfold until I had a plan of attack. Passing the ball around, jumping in to goalkeep, covering the open man, basic stuff. Im level 30 now and every time I've got level 1 teammates they basically throw the game trying to do rainbow flicks and juke out the entire defense while I'm standing in goal wide open. YOU ARE NOT HIM!

Having even the most basic understanding of actual soccer makes you a god in this game just about. I have been loving it so far. I just hope people trying it out get good teammates to show them how great the game can be.
