Hi Guys,
I was offline for a few days because of my semester final at my college. Meanwhile, I didn't even have the time to open my PC or play a single match. I had a one-day gap in between those days and I played a game and uploaded it on my youtube channel. As promised in my previous post, I played ROCKET LEAGUE and uploaded it on my youtube channel 9 days ago. So, in this post, I'll be explaining the facts of this game and also my gameplay.
First of all, when I learned about this game I wasn't even aware of how much fun it would be to play this game. I learned about it from one of my friends. When he told me about the game I didn't believe him in the first place until he convinced me to at least watch some gameplay videos online. My opinion was, "A game where you play football with cars! How fun can that actually be? It must be one of those 3rd class games that only show better gaming quality in their ads but actually bullshit in real life." But, my whole thought changed when I saw that famous gamers are playing this game and it's really fun to play.
I downloaded and installed the game. And it was the actual moment of reality. I thought you just have to drive a car and hit the ball with it. That's it. How hard it can be? Right? But, I had to face the reality while playing. It was damn hard to play. Mainly controlling the car. At first, I couldn't even reach the ball. It was so tough to get near the ball as I had to race with the other players too. There is the option to get boosts and maximize your car speed. But, controlling the car while speeding was completely impossible for me then.
But, after playing for a while, I now have the hang of this game. Not at 100% for sure. But, I can at least keep up with my teammates now. As you'll see that I performed goals in some matches. But, keeping up with them is really tough. As I learned from watching videos, most of the players use controllers to play the game. But I don't have any. Actually, I'm good with my keyboard and that is why I haven't considered buying one. And there's also the high price fact.
But, I found some other ways to contribute well in the matches.
First of all, comes the first shoot, that way we can keep the pressure on our opponent's side.
Then, playing aggressive. In this game, you can crash into other cars while being in full speed boost to eliminate opponents' cars. This way It's possible to decrease the performance of our opponent even if they play better than us.
Then full boost shoots. Sometimes the pressure get's hard on our side and the chances of the opponents making a goal also increases. At that time I collect a full boost and give the ball a super speedy kick. It destroys the whole pattern set by the opponent team and gives us another chance to reclaim our chance to goal.
First kick goal. Sometimes the ball and the goalpost are put in a straight line. In this situation, if you can use your speed and boost perfectly and keep going the perfect way you'll get a chance to give a first kick goal.
It's not always possible to get the first chance. Then you can use the jump option to jump and give a flying kick to counterattack the opponent's first kick. But, to do that your timing needs to be perfect.
If you watch my gameplay video, You'll notice that I was playing aggressively the whole time and was also following all the ways that I explained just now. The controls are quite easy too. I'm putting them below so it'll be easy for you to understand.

To Be Honest, before writing this post I wasn't aware of all these options. I learned about them from This WebSite.In this site you'll also learn about controls of both normal, Xbox and PS controllers. You'll also learn about the sensitivity settings from there.
I played several matches in the casual mode of this game. There's also the option to choose with how many players you want to play. I've chosen the 3V3 mode to play. I played in different stadiums in both the blue and orange teams.
I've uploaded the video on my youtube channel and shared the video from there. I'm hoping that you're going to like my gameplay.
As my examination pressure is now out of my head, I'm hoping that I'll be able to come back soon with new gameplay and I'm sure you'll like it. I'm playing this rocket league too and playing this game is really entertaining. I'd like to suggest you for playing it too.
I hope that you liked reading my experience and explanation about this game. I tried my best to explain everything I know and felt needed to be explained. I also hope that you enjoyed my gameplay too. I'm planning to share another video with more details about this game. One more thing before I take my leave. You'll need to install the Epic Game Launcher to play this game. At least I had to install it.
