Hello fellow Pocket Leaguers,

I think that this is not a invisible player because there is a player and It moves a little bit.

It worked wonders for me (beat a stall pro in plat) ; I figured this out at 2:45 AM haha. Takumi is the best car for this.

I think it helps because you don’t have to move your eyes as much between the car and the controls. The controls are easier to find without consciously looking for them, and your thumb doesn’t have to move as much vertically (up and down) between them. This makes switching between them quicker and more natural, especially during fast movements.
Since the camera keeps panning as the car and ball move, having the controls around the same height as the car gives you a more consistent reference. You can basically keep your focus around the car while still having the important controls in your peripheral vision.

Best of luck!

Probably everyone knows about that weird blue/red effect when you sometimes try to hit a red shot but your car is too far away. When does it happen exactly? Sometimes it doesn't but sometimes it does, do you need a minimum speed or smth?

Also what is special about those little purple/gold shots? Sometimes you only get the effect after you hit the shot and not on the whole ball.

I have wondered this for years but I still don't know the answer. I am sorry if this is common knowledge, if so, I would appreciate if you attach a link...

Just wanted to show of the confusing match I just had, opponent was just on the ground and Grey with a Grey name tag. Was still playing tho.​

Help needed.

I'm genuinely hardstuck silver. I keep winning a match, losing a match, winning a match, losing a match, etc.

Tried re-installing not working , its working fine from the notch side but not other

i ve tried more than 100 times to hit a powershot in advanced totorial and i cant do a SINGLE maniplation am i just shit? how do i get better, is the game even still worth picking up

Estaba jugando, y quería sacar una foto pero me saco antes de terminar XD

I recently got back to playing side swipe, and finally spent some time learning to chain jump resets together. And I've gotten pretty good at it with the claw hold by practicing on free play in the dunk house. My game sense is relatively good, I feel quite comfortable with it, and have even hit it in games within the last week or so. But in seeing highlight clips that people post it looks like you can do it towards the opponents goal rather than just up towards the ceiling, and I cannot get this to work nor do I know how to practice it. Does anyone have any tips or tricks? What's the method for unstoppable stall chain shots? Am I missing something with the positioning?

I haven't played it in a really long time and idk if they have made any major gameplay changes.

Been at 100 players for a while now but idk if that is js a bug or actually means I can't add new friends cus I've been sending friend reqs out for a bit and no one has accepted today so wondering if that limit is causing it

I have another game recorded I don’t feel like editing it i bet that other game woulda been an OTL but it was 5-3 this one I shoulda won can epic do something about this I don’t lag in any other game

New one:
This setup i am enjoying using

I am a two thumb player. I defend right. I am Plat in both. Aim diamond.

I use zoom out camera. This setup helps me in focusing on the car while not bothering about control positions. Taking into account the camera panning from here and there as car and ball moves from this side to that

Car Takumi (best for this setup imo. It’s small, quick , agile, easy for purple shot , as big as the ball
Joystick smallest plus locked and static.

Boost at the top
Jump + boost in the middle
Jump at the bottom

This combo of three keeps the opponent guessing. When in opponent half try and use jump button for gold or critical shots.

Can't find anything online about it but it's as if the game got like a x1.3 speed boost in general, the car and ball just feel unnaturally fast now.

This the highest I’ve ever been on the leaderboard.

Hace 2 días inicio la temporada y sigo sin resivir mí avatar D:

from the start of previous season i was not getting any cross bonus XP
i thought it was bugged but new season started tomorrow and it is same.
reinstalled my game and yet nothing
reached 9 level in sideswipe and still nothing..
is it same for everyone?
also why can't they fix it yet ?
it's hard to level up in RL without this bonux XP thing...)

See video in comments! That's a lot of chromatics!!! 😎

I spend so much time practicing all these different skills just to get a chance at ranking up for once, alas I’m hit in the face with this stupid map, its literally just gambling when I’m playing, I have so many ideas for how to get around my oppon but there is ZERO wiggle room, I can’t defend up top because they can go right below me, and I can’t go on the ground because the ball will just bounce over me, it is literally impossible to do a fair 1v1 in this map because of the sheer fact that the entire goal is roof to floor, I have no time to actually break past my opponent because I’m stuck trying to get the ball away from them, I WOULD like to let it roll past me and hit the wall but alas, THERES NO WALL. How am I supposed to play strategically if the entire game is based around the kickoff alone + the fact that my goal is completely open? I want to see anyone try to actually defend on shortstack, it’s just like stopping a broken water tower with duct tape. There is simply no way for me to actually rank up when my entire career depends on whether or not the ball goes left or right in the first 2 seconds of the game.

edit: My point of this post wasn’t that the shortstack map was unfair, and I feel like saying that I have a skill issue is also unfair, It is extremely difficult to gain control of the ball because any sort of error is a complete mistake, and at times and can literally be dependent on kickoff, I have this repeated situation where I want to gain control of the ball but my opponent is just shoving the ball into me, so if I try to go from under it will just go over my car, and if I try to go above the just drive right past me, it leaves me at a literal stalemate where I can’t do anything. This can happen really quickly due to the lack of walls in shortstack which makes recovery extremely difficult, it just feels like the map isn’t really skill based which is annoying because I’m literally forced to win games just to get passed it. The issue is I literally can’t get to the rank because theres not really much more for me to do. There is only so much you can do in shortstack and I’ve tried it all, I just have to hope that I can win a bunch of games in a row, but that’s extremely hard to do when the entire match is anyone’s game regardless of lead or actual ability
