How To Never Miss An Open Net Again In Rocket League

In this Rocket League tutorial, I teach you how to score open nets to the best of your ability. Of course, in Rocket League, there's no way to confirm you would score every single time because mechanical mistakes are always possible. However, being in the right mindset gives you the best chance at scoring.

The main reason open nets in Rocket League are so difficult is because you can't gain anything out of them. There's no way to go above and beyond. You can't look like a good player no matter what you do. You either look like an average player if you score it, or a horrible player that doesn't deserve their rank if you miss. This causes you to overthink the shot and try to not miss it instead of aiming specifically to score it. However there is a particular mindset that helps you avoid this bad thinking and score open nets even when they may be difficult mechanically. This video discusses why open nets are difficult by comparison to normal shots with defenders and how to make them as easy as possible so they only rely on your mechanical skill instead of mental skill.

Before I watch this, I got a nice strategy.

Think of it like it's your own net, and you have to clear it. Go for the clear and you gonna score it like an owngoal. EZ

I don’t miss the goal; I simply pass to teammates. In 1s.

Dang it! I keep getting, “Score this goal” and “Don’t miss this goal” mixed up and end up saying, “Don’t score this goal” ☹️

Tip for never missing open nets; always wait for a defender. That way, it won’t be an open net when you miss

Nothing worse than missing an open goal and your teammate yelling at you that you missed it. But they missed like 5 before you. 🙃

Sometimes there’s more pressure to score an open net and all that pressure builds up then... whiff

[J-um]

Good advice. I've found that playing 1s actually made me a lot better at open nets. In 2s and 3s, it's difficult to know when you are going to get an open net, so the surprise causes a "surge." Playing 1s desensitizes you to this by providing them more frequently and predictably - if you play in a party you can just start off with a Bo3 or tournament as part of your warm-up.
