so much of sports is about learning to do the basic shit, and doing it as good as possible. the "mechanics" for lack of a better word

playing gretzky nhl 2005 feels like being an extremely good hockey coach, where every player knows what you want them to do

playing rocket league feels like playing a sport. if you want to pass, you don't click "pass". you have to know how to do it. you have to be good at it. you have to maneuver your player character's "body" in such a way that the ball moves to the place you want it. and they have to know what to do when it gets there
