First of all I'll go to the Tennisschool to get used with the new Controlles. Sure you could find out all by yourself with just playing Exhibitions against the CPU, but I will do it calm step by step.
After I figured out how to the controlle the Game to the fullest I will create my first Player in the Game. And this I will do calm too. I will make a good looking half black Man like I am to bring colour in the Game and the ITST. Alone with the Face of my first Character I will need certainly a half hour.
Yeah after I have created my first Guy I'll start my first Career and max him out to the Player I want.
My Dream for Top Spin 4 is that almost every full trained Character, however you max him out has a Chance against all others no matter how skilled they are. This Balance would be the hardest and best thing the Developers could reach. I would love them for that. Ofocurse with my heart and not making love.
EDIT: I will look at the Pros before I start my Career and test a few of them to get a feeling for the skillz and a Imagination for my Creation.
This is the way most of us will do it if you use your Brain. I mean the thing to test some Pros and get a feeling for the Player-Skillz. Some things will never change.
