I wanted to do something with the community, gather data and then post it back !

The idea is to evaluate each rank skill on the basics and hopefully if enough data is gathered : compair how you are doing relative to your rank.

I know the test might be a little bit long, but if it can help you do it : consider it training !

How will it work ? I will give you challenges through training packs and workshop maps (for PC players), and you'll give me your results in this google forms : https://forms.gle/J1Qb3p6edXJJiigz8

The basics are the following skills : Shooting, Saves, Ground dribbles, Aerials, Speedflips.
Speedflips are not a "basic" mechanic although they are on the easier side to master, I'm curious to see when speedflipping starts, becomes common and becomes completely expected.

Shooting (25 mins):

Training pack : 6EB1-79B2-33B8-681C : 10 mins
Rules : ground shots only (no aerials = you have to either use your flip to shoot or be able to flip after you have shot). You can skip shots as you please. Only one touch is allowed.

Worshop map : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1906378036 : 15 mins
Rules : No random target sizes, no random wall distances, no random ball drops, normal difficulty. When you fail a shot you are given the exact same shot, count how many tries you need to succeed.

Saves (5 mins):

Training pack : 2E23-ABD5-20C6-DBD4 : 5 mins
Rules : you can skip shots as you wish, but a save is only counted if the indicator is on, so you have to wait for the ball to disappear after your save before skipping to the next shot.

Ground dribbles (20 mins):

Freeplay
The challenge here is simple : go into freeplay, get the ball on the hood of your car by pressing up and don't let it drop for 5 minutes. If it drops, get it back on your hood and repeat, count the number of times you've dropped the ball in 5 minutes.

Workshop map : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1694288506 : 15 mins
Rules : obviously don't skip any levels. You can display a timer by turning back at the spawn and going into the middle small pillar with gray and purple texture. Just go as far as you can in 15 minutes.

Aerials (15 mins):

Training pack : C7E0-9E0B-B739-A899 : 15 mins
Rules : Aerials only : no dribbling, no waiting for the ball to drop. You can skip shots all you want.

Speedflips (2 mins):

A503-264C-A7EB-D282
Do 20 tries at the first shot and count how many of them you've touched.
Tip : Wait for your car to touch the ground after spawning and always start with using boost.

This training should take about 70 minutes, don't hesitate to do it over several sessions.

Thanks to anyone who participates in this little experiment.

EDIT : If you don't want or can't do all bits, just do the test partially !
