I feel like most yourtubers often don’t explain exactly what sensitivity in rocket league actually does, so for anybody who doesn’t know, sensitivity does not actually change the max steering/air-pitch value, rather it acts as a multiplier- Assume that rocket league registers no tilt on your joystick as a steering value of zero and a maximum tilt as a steering value of 1.00. Before rocket league registers a steering input, the steering value is first multiplied by the steering sensitivity and is then registered. For example with a sensitivity of 1.00 and a joystick tilt 60% the way to the end of your joystick (or a steering value of 0.60), the game will do the calculation of 0.60x1.00=0.60 which will be what the game registers. Likewise with a steering value of 0.30 and a steering sensitivity of 2.00 the game will register your input as 0.30x2.00=0.60 which will be the steering value of your car. So you might think that with a steering value of 0.80 with a steering sensitivity of 2.00 your input would be registered as 0.80x2.00=1.60 and that your car’s maximum steering value bumped up from a 1.00 to a 1.60 and you can steer at a steeper angle, however this is not the case. Rocket league sets the maximum steering value at 1.00 so it would be more like 0.80x2.00=1.60=1.00 So essentially, in competitive rocket league, sensitivity dictates how quickly you can start turning at max speed, for example with a sensitivity of 10.00 you can reach the max steering value with just an input of 0.10 on your joystick. In my opinion I find that the extra few fractions of a second quicker you are able to start turning max speed is not worth the lost precision which is why I play on 1.00 sensitivity, and this is also why the ex pro player lethamyr also plays with 1.00 sensitivity (he touched on it in a video of his). But like spookluke mentioned this is a personal preference thing and he found that he was able to overcome the lost precision that you might feel through practice plus his hours in game. Also because of the fact that the maximum steering value never goes over 1.00, steering sensitivity on keyboard and mouse does nothing as their are no analog inputs on keyboard and mouse. I hope this helps someone, and whoever’s reading this I wish you a good day/night😊

thank you for “not wasting my time like other youtubers” and giving me another video when all i needed to know should just be one video

Zen does not have air roll right on R2, he's consolidated air roll left and brake/reverse on L2. In theory you could map air roll right on R2 but it leads to issues with what is usually mapped on R2,such as acceleration, so you'd have to have pinpoint precision on recoveries. You'd have to change the rest of your controller scheme up to map it without conflict with other controls.

Im really hopeing everybody doesn't just run around with 0.5 deadzone and 2.0 sens now, because consistency is going to go out of the window even for GC1 ish players. there is nothing wrong with using higher controller deadzones, if you find yourself overshooting your movements all the time even with experience, then turning your deadzone up to 0.9 or even 0.15 will help you. Just because you feel faster doesn't mean you are, if your constently having to correct your movement because its all to twitchy then your going to be slower, not faster, when your spinning as much as a pro does with directional air roll then this is not as much of an issue.

My guy telling me he is not gonna waste my time and then continues to waste my time with a bunch of fluff instead of getting to the settings.

Funny enough, I do actually know one high GC who uses controller vibration (or at least he did as of last time I talked to him, though it's been a while). I first met him August 2019 when I was still Plat 1 in both 2v2s and 3v3s (I'm now Diamond 2 in 3v3s and Champ 1 in 2v2s), and he was about C2-3 in both, but got placed on my team in a Plat 1 3v3s lobby because he had just switched to PC from one of the console versions and was doing his placements. Anyway, his explanation for why he used controller vibration was that it allowed him to feel the ball on his hood when he was dribbling. While this sounded logical, and I'm sure it works for him, I've never liked controller vibration (in any game, for that matter, not just RL).

Bro needs to get to the point, this should be a 2 minute video fml

First thing i did when I started playing was put directional airroll on the left trigger, best choice I ever made. I kept jump, boost and camera where they are because I'm old and I learned to use a controller when they only had 2 buttons, so I'm fine with using my big old thumb to roll around the buttons.

Bro lives in future

Real nice mate. I just wanted to learn about deadzones and i got the full experience.😊

I have had my direction air roll on L1 for YEARS and had some friends copy me, ZEN just made it popular.

Should you have your deadzone higher with ps5 controller?

you wasted my time more than anyone

"you cannot copy the best of the best, instead, pay for my coaching and i'll do it for you!" like you actually cannot make ts up

Thank you for the video. I couldn’t tell if i needed to change the DEADZONE or the SENSITIVITY to move faster

Just changed my boost to right bumper with slide and stick air roll set to left number. Feels great. Trying left and right roll on x and b respectively.

i didnt have these videos when i started rocket league lmao, i recently switched some keybinds and i actually love them for me

this guy is gthe best RL settings teacher he made me change my controls for the better but I cant really do my right air roll now

You claim to not waste our time and yet you waste our time by instead of showing the settings refering to an old video where we need to navigate and look for the time stamp. Big F!

Luke tysm I went from plat to champ

What about input buffer? Keep it at default or are the other options better depending on your area and Internet?

Thank a lot for this video its helping me a lot Spook luke air row better

If you use the stick for driving forward and backwards i recommend binding boost and directional air roll to the triggers

Came in clutch with this one ngl

this guys editor needs a raise

Question, I’m on Xbox and I set my boost on the X button. I am able to do everything needed at once but should I change it to the back?

Why is there no PC Guides?

Ehy luke can you make a video about sensitivities???

The intro said waste no time, and he continued to waste time and put a sponsor in before any of the settings lol.

This literally explains nothing

Thank you man

this was very helpful thank you for this

I tweaked some settings after watching this video, and it felt instantly better. I think I may have crossed a threshold where my settings were holding me back from breaking out of Diamond. My deadzone and controller sensitivity settings were terrible.

I'm trying to combine a competitive style with freestyling style. I think I'm the first and only person to use Cross deadzone AND square deadzone at the same time. How you ask?? I'd love to share my secrets. It works really good and allows you to do stalls easily without sacrificing the input deadzone window.

wow man thanks for showing us what to put our settings as

W coaching keep up the good work

When people say what rank they are, what mode are they talking about?

Hey, what about steam settings? Did you change the shape of the deadzone etc? How you set up your controller on steam?

What dodge deadzone should be the minimum?

A couplemonths ago you said render detail should be performance. Now youre saying it should be high quality. Which is correct and why?

Thank u Luke, your videos always help me

Good if not great video for beginners, W editing

Damn didn't notice it's a new video😂

I use controller vibrate because it feels more like your playing the game xd no camera shake tho that is goof

Thx dude

Omg how do you know that I wrote "best rocketleague settings "

DAR on L2 is actually what makes Zen better than the rest. I've played 6k hours with both DAR at one speed and now im 1k with only ARL in L2 after a hard change and the difference is way bigger than the world thinks. Its not only the movement, but how easy it gets to control the car and how clear it gets when to use each AR. Apart form being the most fun par of RL. Zen has more fun and he is more relaxed than the rest when he plays, even if it sounds silly. Defenetly meta and it will get more important in the next years...

GC1 and I use controller vibrations . I love it lol

You are goat thank you

thank you, now i'm better than before

Thank you

thanks for the vid dude!

everyone recommends 0.05 for deadzone, but I need to use 0.10 because all my three PS4 DSs have 0.07~0.10 stick drift I wonder it's just my bad luck or my country is importing the bad ones 😂

Stick drift is the killer of dead zone

Do you use DS4Windows to make the controller work? I haven’t seen anyone talk about that or if they have separate settings on there that affect the game

thanks!🙂

my pc lags really hard when i try to use fullscreen im not sure if i should keep using it or not

i grinded so hardly back in 2020 but since 2021 i didnt play a sigle game

How is this guy already in 2024?!?! That’s crazy!!!!!!!!

This helped so much bro

I put my boost on r1 and l1 but when I’m in free play it always resets the ball or does a defend shot, how do I change my free play settings, also what should I use for boost

This was so helpful

Thanks for this. Big time helpfull.

Thanks

Hi! I have a ps5 controller, but I see that almost 90% of the pros use ps4, is it worth switching?

What Controller sensitivity is recommended for me as I am diamond 1, thanks for the info :)

Can we get a kbm settings video

I play a lot of racing games so I have powerslide on L2 and throttle on R2 as well as boost on B and camera on A. I use Xbox. What are your guys opinions on it?

is there a big disparity between ps4 and ps5 controllers? i noticed a lot of people stick with the DS4 instead of going up to the PS5

Wait, so Boost must be in the R1 button, because Air Roll and Powerslide are in L1 and Drive forward and backwards are in L2 and R2, right?

Do you have to be 18+ for the coaching lessons?

Because of you I am better😊

Well i change my binds from defaults plus air roll left/right on l1/r1 To Boost r1 Power slide/airroll left l1 Airroll right on square

Now so good

you skipped over doge deadzone so im not to sure what would be to good for me to use or be better for me to start testing out

I use directional air roll in L1 ps4 controller is it ok?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE RETIRING AND NOT POSTING MANY MORE VIDEOS????

Excellent videos, Luke

Thanks I did everything I could btw I’ll catch u up later if I get better😅

I tried the controls 😅 1 second i was hating it could only drive and bost at once

Which deadzone shape do you use?

Hey their, I am on xbox, were should I bind to boost to?

Thank u for the settings

Hey SpookLuke, I hope this message finds you well! I've been a fan of your Rocket League skills for a while, and I've noticed that you have a great understanding of mechanics and shooting techniques. I'm currently sitting at Diamond 2, but I'm facing some challenges with my mechanics, especially when it comes to shooting the ball on net. I've been trying to improve on my own, but I feel a bit stuck and could use some guidance. I was wondering if you could spare some time to share your insights or maybe even review some of my gameplay? I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice you could offer. I'm eager to put in the work to improve, and I believe your expertise could make a significant difference in my performance. Thank you so much for considering this, and I understand if you're busy. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Is it better to play in 4:3 resolution or 16:9 resolution?

i am on nitendo switch, if i use on the pro controller boost on the r bottom and air roll with powerslide on the zl, will be fine?

i put airroll and power slide on square, and personally i put my boost to L1 because it feels good to me. what button should i change it to?

Make silver rank recommended settings because I am stuck

Thanks it helps alot

What decal are you using?

But i got Air Roll right on my R1 button. Where do i put this one if i should have boost on R1 häää??

Love the vids🔥

I'm on square dead zone after watching Mactufs videos I feel faster but if square dead zone only good if your freestyling because I'm trying to get better at recovery after resets

Can u do a coaching program for silver to gc?

I dint understand a single word u said

Home boy talking bad about thanovic that crazy

To be honest, I kinda hate introductions I just wish they would do it more quicker so we can see what’s going on and then change it

when i do the render detail and turn off the effects it turns into custom so to make it high quality i need the effects on (i am on keyboard)

I have to commend this video. Beautifully planned, scripted and edited. Thanks for the tips! I’m a noob rocket league player wanting to get really good at the game so having a solid foundation to learn is key.
