Axis by axis

Execution7 vs 10

Rocket League leans harder on execution: Aerials, flicks, dribbles, pure mechanical ceiling

Reads2 vs 6

Rocket League leans harder on reads: Rotations and 50-50 reads against humans

Variance1 vs 1

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization5 vs 3

Race Driver: Grid leans harder on optimization: Braking points, lines and flashback management are learnable
