Tip of the week: Rocket League – Here are some helpful Rocket League tips you can start using once it goes free to play. First of all, when it comes to boosting, once your car shows the purple boost effect you can stop boosting. This means your car has achieved max speed. Save the boost for aerials instead. Also, use forward flips (dodge) to obtain some additional speed. You can also use this to quickly gather the boost items around the field. I would encourage you to find videos on how to use dodge and re-adjust your key mappings to more easily use dodge.
