I started my work for this TPS a bit late, but fortunately, I have played a match or two in Rocket League, so I came up with ideas to build exciting features that might improve the first model I will develop.

\n

I realized then how hard it might be to tackle this challenge without some experience in the game, so I decided to share some resources that might help you come up with creative ideas when engineering your features.

\n

Knowing that data was taken from professional Rocket League matches, I can say these pro players think very differently from the average casual players (like me), and they have spent countless hours learning various \"tricks\" to increase their probability of scoring.

\n\n

My notes after watching the shared resources:

\n
    \n
  1. Booster levels and everything related to power shots are critical when you want to score against the rival team.
    2. \n
  2. Jumping, flip resets, and overall air game are also very tricky to handle against pro players.
    3. \n
  3. Team coordination is vital for good performance at the highest levels of gameplay.
    4. \n
  4. Many pro players emphasize how important it is to pressure your opponents and never grant them ball control.
    5. \n
  5. Positioning, rotation, speed, and momentum.
