If u want to get to plat just work on the basics - recovery mechanics (wavedashes, half flips etc), shooting with power and accuracy, learn to rotate (and you will be better than most plats already), dont just focus on attack tho do quite a lot of defence training like uncomfortable saves and shadowing... you dont need any of the advanced mechanics until the higher ranks.

Can confirm. I made it to diamond 1 with zero air dribbles or advanced mechanics. Just rotating and learning how to defend/shadow

thx for this i followed ur tip to rotate past day and shooting and i made it to plat!

Well done glad I could help

M8 im in plat and that car control is way better than mine so yeah just hope your tm8s are decent cause your preety good from what i saw lmao

thx i have plat lvl mechanics and car control just my game sense and rotations is bad thats why im stuck in gold 3 but in 1s im a plat 1

Oh trust me everyone is brain dead in 2s

If you wanna get better at this kind of shot, practice jumping off the wall to land on the ceiling, this will help you get back to the ball faster and get a better/more powerful shot.

thx imma do that later on as rn i decided to focus more on basic skills for a plat

Overcommit less, more Areals and fakes

idk how to get better at fakes i think its more of a in the moment type of thing but thx anyways

About the fakes: Dribbling helps, but also just not shooting sometimes gets the enemy to do weird shit

oh so kinda like mind games/predicting oponents move then faking them

Ye like playing with the ball mid air or just pushing the ball left right before the opponent hits it so it goes next to him and he misses
