14:50 I disagree with the thought that you should have gone wider there. In that position specifically, the orange team majorly screwed up their rotation and put all 3 of them on top of each other. Add on top of that the fact that there is no potential for a powerful clear out from them that you need to respect. All 3 players from orange were in that corner and backwards. (13:45) Maybe you needed to be slightly further just to get a better approach angle, but I think that playing as close as you did is fine because it doesn't give them any space and there is no risk of counter attack from that position. I think that the main point of improvement in that play is more the on-ball play. If you are going to go for a shot, you should have gone a little wider to get a better angle, something in between where you were and what you said that you should do. But if you are going for something more controlled like a soft touch into a dunk, a backboard reset or even getting the reset and playing it more as a fake into either a 50 or a pinch, then the approach that you took is fine. tldr; either go slightly wider for shot or play close and go for a more controlled play
So I had a thought. (Don't tell my wife, she still believes I'm incapable of thinking) I know your primary goal is to teach quantifiable gameplay improvement and improve the overall community of RL. What if you did a series on coaching streamers?!? I used to watch Tena, and I've been watching JamacianCoconut recently because he's slightly higher ranked. I thought I could learn a little more from Coconut, but all I've seen has just been better mechanics. One thing I have noticed is that Coconut focuses too much on getting boost, and not paying attention to the situation if his teammate(s) need boost. Tena does seem a little more conscious and aware of those situations. Do you think streamers would be open to your gameplay style and coaching? I feel if streamers could adopt your play style, they would see immediate results. This would get your system more exposure, and then on your way to fixing the RL community!
Your identity here is safe so long as I dont know who your wife is >:D I've thought about doing that, but slightly afraid of some of the backlash since reviewing streamers and critiquing their game and how they play is EXTREMELY polarizing. On top of that, although i've found my results to be very much vetted YEARS prior to finally releasing my coaching information on UA-cam, people may not see it that way. I don't want to create slander, but parody is also legal. And the community is VERY soft here in the rocket league scene. I've been attacked more than a few times for telling a notable figure they're wrong. The fanbase takes the critique as though I'm personally robbing them of their own value. As if my opinion has any weight on who they are as a person. So I've thought about it. I don't mind it honestly. My prior channel to this I roasted streamers and content creators. I still mention this in my coaching sessions and various other recourses about how content creators are 'creating content' but dont actually have any information that I found is fundamentally correct. Notable figures being SpookLuke, Virge, Wayton Pilkin, and a few others. I'll refer back to your comment another time as well and re-read. I think I honestly should do a review.
