How to unlock the Perfect Start achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide
• Team Size - 1v1
• Difficulty - Rookie
• Season Length - 9 Weeks
• Playoffs Teams - 4 Teams
You will play a total of 11 matches, 2 play offs and 9 matches and during this time you will face all 9 teams, after winning the first match you will earn this achievement.
Rookie difficulty should be easy enough to win every match anyway as with only one AI they are very stupid. The Ai being stupid means that most of the time you can hit the ball in from the kick off, the 3 times you're positioned almost straight onto the ball boost all the way until you're close to the ball and stop boosting, then keep driving to hit the ball over them and hopefully into the goal (boost too far and it'll hit the top) when you're on the side of the ball boost half way then stop boosting and try to hit the corner of your car on the side of the ball facing away from the goal, takes a bit of practice.
Here's a video of what I mean, using the car 'Ripper'
You will unlock to following on the way:
Once you have done that, select team size (1, 2, 3 or 4), team name, and team symbol. If you choose a team symbol first a name will be auto-assigned.
Then it will bring up the Season 'hub', showing all matches for that round and at the top, your opponent. Start the match, and just make sure you win within the 5 minutes. You can go to overtime and still win the match for the achievement to count, as long as you beat the computer
If you fail to win, there is a Restart Season option on the 'hub' screen which will take you back to the first match so you have another chance, or you can create an entirely new season with different settings if you require
After selecting season proceed to set the game to;
~1v1
~Rookie
~9 Weeks
~ 4 Teams
Press continue and start playing, score some goals and it should only take a few minutes before you have unlocked the achievement!
Rookie difficulty is basically a free win.
From the Main Menu select "Season". Select "Start New Season". Change the Team Size to 1v1, Difficulty to Rookie, Season Length to 9-Weeks and Playoff Teams to 4. Choose your Logo and Team Name and select "Continue". From the Season Main Menu, select "Play Next Match". After winning your first match of the season, the achievement will unlock. If you lose your first game, select "Start New Season" from the Season Main Menu and try again.
MISSABLE
When starting a season and choosing a team as mentioned in Rocketeer, you must win the first game. So if you lost that game, you have missed the trophy and have to start a new season. If you are on the verge of losing, you can press and restart the match with no consequence. The trophy will unlock as soon as you win that first game.
