Training packs suck JUST BECAUSE they're missing one crucial feature
Training packs could be a great tool for advancing through the ranks to the top 0.1%. However, one crucial feature is missing for some reason: initial car speed.
All shots start with the car stationary. If you've ever played this game, you'd know you're rarely standing still. This is crucial since car speed greatly affects every outcome.
I love making training packs. In fact, it's exactly how I got to my rank just a few months from starting: by recreating shots I missed in games. But this has been giving me diminishing returns just because the car starts stationary.
I am here to beg Psyonix to add the option to choose the initial car speed, just like you can choose the initial ball speed.
That would be almost enough to make training packs everything you need to recreate shots. The last additional feature needed is to have the option to change car orientation, which means you can practice wall shots and recoveries, but that might be asking too much for now.
Thanks for listening, I love you all
Edit: Thank you u/theHalfBlindKid for making me re-examine the Freeplay Checkpoint plugin for BakkesMod. Apparently you just click a button during replay, and it saves ALL the ball and car (orientation, speed, boost) details to a playlist. Then you click a button in freeplay and you go through these positions just like a training pack. This is excellent! <3 Only thing missing from this is setting a timer for each shot. I really liked challenging myself with strict times on all shots.
