Baghdad Kebab - thank you man, we really poured our soul into this one and really spend a lot of our personal time doing it, arguing, making sure in is all balanced.
I agree about Bashmakov being a strong guy there. But, as you said, in the right hands. Not only the player has to serve well, he has to move well. Bashmakov is slow, so if your movement is not efficient and you come across someone who can consistently returns the ball and gets into rallies, it will be tough.
It is important that we all try and test setups. We should all try and test the players that are "the strongest" as well. Simply to confirm. Like Baghdad said, "in the right hands" - which to me says that the Right Hands player is actually a good player and fit for a setup, rather then setup itself being too strong.
Don't mention it dude, the praise is all down to you guys (the creators).
Right, the nerd that i am i saw the new SIM setups and I have already created and test driven Barry Cannon!!
I have got to tell you i love him. I beat Didine17 6-2 (with his normal SIM) and TheSpecilaist also created and low and behold he was B Cannon too! We both coincedently changed our FH and BH around so BH was 87 & FH 51, i won 6-2, 7-6 but the scores are not important, this is what i found...
The low down:
FH 51 - a very low stat and one that i was intrigued to try (concerned but intrigued) and found it very managable - I was able to time the ball well and whilst it did not create opportunities for me i was able to defend well with it and return ok - i even tried and hit a couple of risk winners with it. Also the topspin shot (B) corss court worked ok if picked it up low and flicked it across the court.
BH 87 - well what can i say, this stat makes me very dangerous as I can hit winners from anywhere and it favours my famous defensive slice with LT or RT or RT+LT .
Serve 81 - I am a big server mix up with flat, kick and slice, this is the perfect stat for me
Return 65 - my last guy had 78 but i was just being greedy, i think 65 was more than sufficient to return well, and whilst not a massive asset it does its job very well
Volley 62 - i occasionally like to come to the net to kill off a point or mix it up and I hit a couple of volleys with good success, much more control and a stat i would usually have at 40 (90/40) or 50 (old SIM). It may help my current learning of S&V too
Power 86 - again a strong stat and as I am not a big risker (like say noberto or equits) so this will suit me well
Speed 58 - now this was a stat that I thought I would really struggle with, but it wasn't!! My movement around the court is usually pretty good and my previous guys have never had a stat above 75 or summit so a jump down, but not too much. I think if you play someone who is really good and throws you around the court then i might struggle to put a racket on it in the end but if i control the points it won't cause too much of an issue
Stamina 70 - ahh how satisfying it is to have this as a high stat - again never had above 40 or 50 but this will help me in the long rallies, thats if my speed allows it. I hope to start to see the benefits of this as i go go on.
Frigging love it
Unless someone can provide with a proper strategy for Bishop to deal with Bashmakov???
