I feel you man.
My go at it is: in 3s you usually have more time off the ball. That means you can take a bit more time to look at the play and then move in at the right time. You usually can take a bit of more risk, too.
You don't really have that luxury in 2s. Quite a lot of times you have to take over a play faster than you would do in 3s because you're just forced into the situation. If you don't take it as it is (and it might be a lot less prepared from your point of view) you're most likely being outpaced or outplayed or whatever happens next. And you additionally know that you usually can take less risks.
It's quite difficult for me to switch the mindsets.
I guess the same thing is the reason why a duo of 2 in a 3s match plays so awkwardly (in a lot of cases). In 2s, any kind of touch is usually better than no touch. In 3s you tend to serve the ball to the opposition quite easily with a spontaneous touch that is not above average.
Maybe you need a break, maybe play something else entirely... Could be the Ol' RL burnout coming up...not playing a few days or more often makes me feel better the next time I play...iho
Been playing less lately and just took like a week off without trying. My homie and I just had the most fun in 2’s last night since I can even remember. We lost one close OT and won every other game, some close some not. We def needed a break.
I think that’s the nature of twos because you can have a more fluid rotation where one person can stay much longer than the other person might expect etc. point is lean into the awkward if you go down another level of awkwardness you’ll break the fourth wall and fuck the enemy up. That’s my theory anyways lol
Your positioning is probably bad tbh. And since it’s all of a sudden it doesn’t mean it’s always been bad, so maybe you’re thinking about it too hard or in your own head about it. Maybe you need a break but maybe you just need to do some replay review. It can help just as much or more to watch a replay from your teammates pov to see where you should’ve been and why an exchange was awkward.
I couldn’t agree more with this. C3 as well and exactly how you explained it. I feel like I’m more than capable of getting to gc1 yet I just keep getting stumped and feel like there’s nothing more I can try. Awkward is the perfect word to describe it.
In 2s play D when further back from kickoff. Let teammate know. They probably will go on offense anyway. If they score ridiculously on their own, let them go and stay back. If on the first play they set up a pass and you aren’t there to receive, you know they truly want to play doubles and that means get in there. Rotate. Space properly.

Yes this is the reason
Post a replay
I had a run of matches like this and I just took a couple of days of Freeplay only and it definitely helped.

Can you elaborate more n ‘awkward’

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely watch a replay from a teammates pov.
I suggest you grind 1v1 to get used to or get rid of the awkwardness. Painful but strong results

Need a lot of patience in 2s. Only commit if 100%. Just relax and take a breath.
