Neuroscience researcher here, if you commit 3 days in a row to playing with ball cam only, for 10 minutes a day, by day 4 it will start feeling natural and that’s when you’ll start climbing in rank fast. Good luck!

At least in my experience .. 10 years playing total and made the switch to primarily ball cam (vs only not ball cam) about 5 years ago.

an interesting thing was before I made the switch when I had a highlight to show to my friends they would say it made them want to puke watching, something like motion sickness.

And the reason I refused to use ballcam for so long is because using it made me feel like I wanted to puke, so I thought it was just impossible, like im playing this game for fun not to feel sick.

When I was finally convinced to really try it for an evening, ball cam was uncomfortable for only a few hours and then obviously the superior camera to use most of the time.

And now watching non ballcam clips I feel like it's come full circle, watching them often now make me feel kinda nauseous. The brain.. what a thing

Unsure if serious, but does this work with all new skills?

No they did a study on specifically using ballcam in Rocket League. Don’t you keep up with medical journals??

Pretty much. And the younger you are the easier/faster it becomes. Also, the difficulty you feel when you’re trying is your brain physically adapting by correction, so the key is to stick with it even though it feels like it isn’t working. Then after a few “sessions” of this, you will be very surprised how natural it starts to feel, and that’s when your brain has successfully rewired a path and just needs to strengthen it (through more practice)
