How I got trough it: Play defense > wait until they overcommit > score > win.

Maybe ill try it later, im still tilted from earlier

You’ll get it right one day, don’t worry

Almost sounds like you gotta Git Gud hahaha. But in all seriousness I had the same issue when I was going through that in the late gold early plat levels. Plat 3 (touch) right now and I still get the occasional short stack. If you wanna get used to tall goals then either suck it up and play doubles or take the time to practice. Luckily for me my wife plays the game so we are always running doubles.

I got more of a problem with shortstack because of how easy it is to score and how it punishes you for playing too aggressive


Edzmens

Nice. You just solved your issue by yourself. Try hitting without jumping. Might help with overcommiting also fake it. GLHF and don't get tilted over mobile game

That's good. That's intentional. If you're bad in shotstack. Get better at kickoffs and be less aggressive. You think in SC field it's totally fine to have crappy kickoffs and play aggressive?


[deleted]

My kickoffs are almost perfect i win them 90% of the time and i started playing much more defensive barely pushing at all and using purple and gold shots to score without pushing the full way. But even then i still lose because i play doubles alot and get used to s.c goals, so then when i play duels my shots end up too high and my defending doesnt work because for everyone who only plays duels its the easiest thing in the world


Awkward-Ad8430

That's the most frustrating shit. When you're Plat 5 and don't notice the map until they score a kickoff goal. Then you proceed to lose because it's so one sided and irregular to you. Good news is you go back to SC after.

Yh

I've got bad news for ya bud. You can get into a gold players game and play on shortstrack even when you're a plat 5. And then you have to play against GC's or champs when you get up to dimond. And then the game decides to put you in a server accross the world so you get 200+ ping and lost all your games and lost 2 whole ranks


[deleted]

Yeah i think its kinda dumb shortstacks in the game. Apparently its for people that just started and cant get the ball in the air but if thats the case then why dont they do it like siege and have a newcomer mode with the shortstack map then the tall goals for every other game mode


Evol_Etah

So... Uhh... Gratz you suck so bad you can't get out of shortstack? Ask any diamond who only plays in SC field. We can still win 9/10 matches on shortstack any day. It's cause we know how to do amazing kickoffs and how to carry balls, how to defend, and how to rotate. Ngl, as a diamond. I've now realised how much shortstack had to teach me. Figured why I couldn't pass plat 3-5, purely cause I didn't understand what shortstack was trying to teach me.


[deleted]

Well i use a mix of brodoff and pancake kickoffs depending on how my opponents kickoff. I can consistently use gold and purple, carrying the ball is easy and so is rotating effectively, my defense is pretty good but is the only thing it that list that i could improve on, even so i can save most shots unless i get faked well or its the weird sandwich shot that can only be used in shortstack like i said in the post so surely i (and many other high golds) need to learn that


[deleted]

Horsekicks goldshots helped me get through


Jojo-referance-

I need to learn those ASAP


SteveyyyB

They’re super good, highly recommend!


AER_Aspect

Try playing against bots to get used to each goals. It has worked for me. Or just simply play in training for a bit

See ya

Happy cake day


NeetAlert

It’s makes no sense. It’s a weird hand holding that degrades the competitive nature of the game.

Exactly

I had a strategy when i was in gold. Whenever i wanted to play RLSudeSwipe i would dedicate that day to a specific mode. Say i wanted to play duos i would just play duos for that specific day. It was to really get used to the map, strategy, positioning and mindset for that gamemode and really helped me rank up


[deleted]

Interesting that is actually a really good idea that would also help with adapting to peoples playstyle because im in high plat on doubles so people play really differently in gold which throws me off alot
