The Difference Between GOOD And BAD Camera Settings In Rocket League

[Music] let's say you just bought rocket Li you download the game you install it and you excitedly launch it ready to play the game launches and you're ready to go and start the tutorial you finally load in and what's this - a brand new player this looks completely normal to a rocket League veteran in even most amateurs this is just hideous to look at so what's wrong with it well in case you don't already know it's a well just about everything if you've played rocket League for a decent bit you've probably seen this screen before it's the camera settings it's arguably the most important screen when you first start playing mainly because of this checkbox right here if you have cameras icon turn it off right now please this is the worst setting you can play on I'd rather play with no boost at all than with camera shake on seriously and apparently psionics thought it was a good idea to keep it on by default basically with camera shake on every time you jump bump into something score a goal anything that causes rapid movement of your car your camera is gonna shake all over the place this makes it just harder to hit the ball see what's going on do anything at all really all right you got that unchecked okay good now let's move on to what this video is actually about which is the importance of your camera so I know this can be somewhat of a boring topic to some players but I know for a fact if you fix your camera settings alone it can really boost you to the next level I first came up with this idea when I was analyzing replays at various levels of play from my last video a Platinum and Gold I'd see some players with super far camera settings and some players with really close ones but by the time I got up to GC replays most players had pretty similar settings so without a doubt if you really want to get good at this game you're gonna end up changing your settings to something somewhat close to what everyone at GC is using so you might as well just change them now and let me just clarify that changing your settings to squishies or Justin's isn't gonna make you play like them you'll still suck you'll just suck a little bit less okay just have to get that out of the way if you've been told by someone that your camera settings are awful they're probably right you may think oh they just match my play style which has some truth to it but it's not enough of an excuse to have your camera 50 feet back from your car before I go any further let me explain what each of these settings do feel the view or fov as some call it is basically how sumed in or zoomed out your camera is not to be confused with how far forward or back it is if you have a more zoomed in fov everything on your screen will appear normal in shape but you won't be able to see as much if your fov is zoomed out you'll be able to see way more on your screen but around the edges you can see it gets kind of stretched out a little most pros have their fov at the max or close to it because the edges are mainly for their peripheral vision anyway so the fact it's warped a bit doesn't really matter distance is how far away the camera is to your car if you turn this way up your camera will be way far back so you'll be able to see more but it'll be harder to be more precise with your car control when you turn it down you'll be in much more control over your car but you'll be less aware of what's happening around you most pros use a distance anywhere from 250 to 290 so it's a pretty small margin to choose from height is somewhat similar to distance but it only changes how low or high it is in the same way if your height is higher you won't be as precise and if your height is lower you won't be able to see as much most pros use a height somewhere from 90 to 110 so again that's a pretty small margin your angle is what determines how far pointed down your so the more negative it is the further it'll be pointed down most pros do somewhere from negative 3 to negative 5 for the angle but it's not that strict of a rule next up is the stiffness this determines how strict your camera will be to following your car when you're not on volume so basically if your stiffness is zero which is the minimum your car will be way over to the side of your screen when you're power-sliding and it'll look way farther from the camera when you're at max speed when your stiffness is 1 which is the max your camera will be directly behind your car no matter how jagged your movement or how much you power slide this setting is really 100% preference some pros like let the mere use max thickness and others use zero stiffness it's really just whatever you feel like is the best I recommend testing them both out on your own for a while and then make a decision for what you like best next up is the swivel speed this just determines how fast your camera moves when you move it around manually a low swivel speed means it moves around slower and it's more stiff but a high swivel speed means it moves around almost instantly most pros use a swivel speed of 4 or higher but again it's all preference lastly we've got transition speed this one is really I'll preference as well the only thing this changes is how fast your camera transitions from car cam 2 ball cam if it's at the minimum it will transition the slowest which isn't even really that slow if it's at the max it'll transition instantly without the camera really moving at all it's pretty much just a jump cut at that point pros really use any range of these some put a net max and some put in at minimum it's 100% what they feel most comfortable with so there's not really any way to choose a bad transition speed just choose whatever you like the best [Music] now that you know what all these settings actually mean I recommend starting out with the camera settings of a pro that you think has a similar play style to you so if you think squishy plays the same way as you go ahead and try out his settings and then make very small adjustments over a long period of time until you feel comfortable it's important not to choose someone settings and then change a bunch of stuff right away try and get used to them for a few days and if there's still an aspect that you don't like change that by just a little bit and then go from there but remember to stay within the bounds of what most pros use don't go too far from the norm I'll leave a link in the description of a giant list for what all the pros camera settings are you can look through there and pick one you like people haven't asked me what my camera settings are and I don't always like telling people about them because according to most they are really bad but they fit my play style so I really like them I have a pretty unique play style so I have pretty unique camera settings basically I think I'm very mechanical with dribbling flicks air dribbling and passes these skills often require very precise car controls so I like to have my camera really close to my car these are my settings on screen now so you can see I have 200 distance which is really close and it allows me to be much more mechanical but I also have zero stiffness which makes my camera seem not as close as it really is because when I'm moving fast the camera is way further from the car than it is when I'm just stationary so that pretty much makes up for my distance being so close if you really want to try my settings out you can go ahead but be aware that I do not recommend them for most people so there's two extremes basically with changing up your camera settings first some players put their camera way up high and have a really deep camera angle looking down on the field yes this does help you see your surroundings easier but knowing that there's no one around you isn't gonna help you make that save with camera settings like these you have no perception of the height you need to hit the ball correctly that's an essential skill to have so it's not worth it to change your camera settings anywhere near these on the contrary some people use settings that are really low to the ground and have a really small angle these settings are completely op4 reading the height and position on the ball which makes double taps really easy however what it gives up is the ability to know how far away the ball is from your car which makes it really hard to dribble you'll find the ball chipping off your nose often with settings also a lot of the time the ball will be hidden behind your car so you can't even see exactly what's going on when I was experimenting with these settings I couldn't tell what the ball was gonna bounce off which made double taps harder in the end so overall don't put these settings to the extreme if you want to play competitively it's not worth it for the skills that you're giving up so that's it when you first start out in rocket League there's a ton of settings you need to change and camera settings are just a small portion of them the default controls are also pretty bad so I might make a video on that as well what do you think is the most important thing for new players to learn let me know in the comments or on Twitter and if you want to see more videos like these please subscribe for more leave a comment if you enjoyed and I will see you later [Music] you [Music]
