2010 TS3 Sim Tours - The "List"

[SoundfSilence]

I think what you guys are seeing is what gave us our "eureka" moment. We realized we liked all of the setups, but we didn't love any of them. They all have some weakness you must learn to play with. If we loved them, it would be the the setups we would create if the only goal was winning - which wouldn't be an improvement.

Actually, I love Bishop! He is absolutely perfect for my game. This is a good thing, because I absolutely hate boring stacked setups.

I've now tried four players:

1) Bishop - played against Petrelli's Bucci. Who said Sim is slow?! This match was fast pace from the off! I won it 6-4, 6-4, but it could have gone either way. You had to play smart, take risks at the right time etc. Just what Sim is about.

2) Thompson - played against Petrelli's Lopez. I've never used a tall lanky player before so it took time to get used to this. Not a bad player, again the matchup was balanced, score was 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 to me. Lopez was tough to play against, he doesn't have extreme weaknesses, so I had to finish points off up net or take risks or guess which side to go and go.

3) Sixx - played against Tombs' Striker. Sixx definately lacks the reach due to his height, but he makes up for this with speed. Although good volley stats, it wasn't consistent for me (I think due to reach). Tombs is good at S & V, but either he didn't serve as well as he normally does, or Striker is too slow..

4) Lopez - again vs Tombs' Striker. We figured out that Striker is not the right guy for Tombs (no chance against decent returns). Lopez was nice though. Good power.

SIXX created and.... wow...i just love that setup (tested in the WT). I´ll see how it works against you guys.
It´s a one handed backhand player, and i put the 90 points on the backhand.

[Coolhand Texas]

i played anil who was using sixx, i think and i was using the first player, G. Gray.

We both used single handers and it was a great match, we were both able to have some great rallies and th came into the net. Anil plays really well with sixx and showed me up last night, i lost 3 and 1.

This was just the first setup for me, but i already like it, i thik im going to try one that has more stamina now.

[Chederer]

Yeah the idea rocks

Anyways played Chederer. He played Nakamura I played Sixx. Got bullied around mostly . Though got more winners and actually won. But could hardly hold on to anything.

He is so small its hard to return. 4 me .

His return were deep and kept me defending mostly. But I could hustle in some rallies to get the point in the end .

He was hitting harder but his speed was killing me.

Its nice to see anyone can beat anyone with any setup.

yea dude.....great match....i made a few too many errors, but i like nakamura---i switched the fh/bh stat...i felt that his big weakness was his speed(67) but with 65 stamina it was okay---return being on 90 rocks i can really put pressure on my opponent and take some pressure off of my service games and the backhand being on 62 i most of the time have to risk when i get the chance---

[Moralspain]

I´ve just played a great macth against Anil, we were both using ours Sixx characters, Anil´s was lefty and one handed backhand, mine was right handed and one handed backhand too.
He won 6/7 7/6 3/6, we had great great rallies, and we both suffered at the end of the 3rd set due to the stamina.

Additional rules:

• The height of your created character must be exactly as listed.
• The weight of your character must fall within the stated range.
• The first initial and last name of your character must be exactly as shown.
• The forehand and backhand numbers (only) are interchangeable.
• There are no restrictions with regard to the stroke and serve animation.
• Your created character may be left-handed or right-handed.

Hi Rob,

i speak now for RAE1980 and me (we have the same opinion on this).

We agree to any rule except of once (the marked).

In our opinion, it s not cool to use the listed names. Why we can t just use names we want?
It would be strange if 10 of 20 ITST players would use the same player with the same name.

First round:
Nakamura vs. Nakamura

Second round:
Nakamura vs. Nakamura



What s about name freedom?


Best regards

The reason of that rule is being able to check your opponents stats easily,by just looking at the players list.

i played anil last night and that was our exact match result....lol's 6/7 7/6 3/6

[djarvik]

I played Ched on WT, lost 3.1 3.1 but, he had 4/9 break points and me 3/7

I used House and he used Nakamura. His 90 return was really hurting me. I was the one to break first, but he broke right back and served out. Same happened in the last set. I was up after a break 1-0 serving for 2-0....but he broke me to 1-1, held to 1-2 and broke again to 1-3.

Fast paced tennis with great shot making.

I think we will eventually get rid of that rule. But for now, it just makes it so much easier to find the character your opponent is using that we're going to keep it for a while. When everyone is more familiar with the list, and more or less has it memorized, we'll consider changing it.

[Chederer]

yes yes....that was a very fun match as well---i find it difficult when you were hitting your returns to my backhand every time--i had to adjust a little....but i think if we played a full match(which we should maybe tonight?) youre 81 stamina would come into affect---that backhand is just beautiful BTW---i definitely had to hit it to that 57 forehand---i cant tell you how many times that top spin backhand deep down the line kept flying right over my head

[VillaJ100]

Played a couple more matches with striker, i think if i can keep a 1st serve pecentage in the 80's i'll be able to get some results.

[fedfan]

Played a few with Gray but he isn't or me. It's all or nothing on the 90 return, against clever servers I can't get enough out of it. With a fhand, bhand or serve strength I can get it into play a lot more.

Really liking how much stamina is coming into play in these matches, you really notice the difference with a lower stat on a groundstroke or instance.

[VillaJ100]

i can see some LONG clay matches, real battles of attrition

To ROB :
Hey i played some matchs with Anil and here what he asked me to write here...
(Well,in fact i just Copy/Paste what he wrote me )

"Ok I have my TS3 in LBS maybe you need to report that to ROB that when you are within the rules for the LBS it's too light. Post it on the forum please....The KG you have...."

I don't know what LBS is...Nore KG...

He wrote me that after a discuss on the weight of my chara (Nakamura)...He thought (i guess he SAW) my chara was not on the good weight (70/73-155/160) though he is 70 (155)...

I created 6 guys
Gray (did not try it yet)
Lorenz
Nakamura
Cannon (did not try it yet)
Bishop
Thompson
So far,i prefer Thompson or Nakamura...
Anil told me to try a S&V guy...As i go to the net often...I'm thinking of Janssen...Any advices (from those who test S&V...)

EDIT : I just get it!!! Lbs and Kg are the weight ref...
Man...That's ambarassing...
