While the default controls aren’t unplayable in Rocket League, numerous camera settings can affect your playing experience, and all pro players tweak them to some extent. Some minor and aesthetic changes depend on individual taste, while others are universally agreed to be better for competitive play. 

Camera Shake

One of the most infamous Rocket League camera settings is Camera Shake. This cosmetic setting produces a screen rocking animation when you flip, jump or get bumped. This can be a cool, immersive setting for new players that adds to Rocket League’s exciting atmosphere.

But as most players start to improve, they typically find Camera Shake gets in the way of their concentration and ability to focus on the ball. As you rank up and your games become faster and faster-paced, turning this setting off is a sure-fire way to make your gameplay feel smoother and easier to follow.

FOV, Distance and Swivel Speed

The Field of View (FOV) setting, put simply, controls how much of the pitch and your car you can see. Low settings will zoom in over your roof for a narrower look at the field, while higher settings will show a wider view.

The Distance setting controls how far your camera is placed behind your car, while Height similarly determines the camera’s height above the car. The Angle, meanwhile, affects the angle at which the camera points down.

Swivel Speed controls how quickly the camera pans around you, which is useful if you feel discomfort or disorientation when the ball bangs off-screen quickly. And Transition Speed affects how quickly the camera swivels when transitioning between turning Ball Cam mode on and off.
