What are you Cheesers gonna do without your RISK-SHOT?

[targon12]

What are the "Cheesers" gonna do without their precious "Risk-Shot"? Your gonna lose thats what. Let's face it most of these guys have no strategy without the Risk-Shot". They rely on the Risk-Shot" return of serve every point (must not be very risky if you do it every point is it?). Now what? You must now roll up your sleeves and play tennis. That means working the point, setting up your next shot, you know, STRAGEDY. Sorry you wont be able to swing with all your might at every 135 mph serve you get (which was totally dumb and unrealistic in the first place). Looks like your gonna have to learn to play tennis now and not just get good at pressing 1 button. Appearantly the people at 2ksports also realized how stupid it was to have a 250 mph risk shot in the game so they took it out. I have to admit most of the "Cheesers" i played on TS3 couldnt win a point unless they used the risk-shot. Can you really swing with all your might at an Roddick 135 mph serve? Of course not even the top pros have to block the return and just try to get it in play. They are not stupid enough to try to swing with all their might on service return cause if they did they would probably lose love and love. I look forward to a more realistic challenge of tennis stategies instead of a retarded match of unrealistic risk-shots in combination with a turbo controller. You cheeser thought you were hot stuff, now lets see if you developed any real tennis skills or just always relied on the short-cut risk-shot to win points.

Hopefully you are right. It`s gonna delightful to NOT play against these 100-30 guys....

[Digitalboyy]

I played a match online last night with a guy that seemed like he was still risking, he was all over the court real fast and crushing ground strokes.

Maybe I just need more practicing before I get back on the world tour.

[djarvik]

All the non-riskers are in for a big surprise if they "thought" risk didn't require skills. ...and now they would be kicking asses.

[targon12]

If they had skills other than risk shot they would have used em. Risk shot isnt even a "Skill". Its what cheesers used instead of having to have skills. How can you develop skills when you spend all your time perfecting a stupid 1 button 250 mph shot. Every serve return, risk-shot. Skills? Give me a break!

[Sherlock 117]

It's not that the risk shot didn't require skills to hit well, it's that it was so tremendously overpowered that you were forced into playing that gamestyle in order to compete, and for the most part all other gamestyles went out the window.

[djarvik]

Give me a break!

I dont give breaks!

IF, no IF you can risk as well as the so called cheeser riskers, and chose not too...then you can say it requires no skill.

Bottom line, the people who complaint about the risk are the ones who can't risk

Risk requires better timing then non-risk and has a great "risk" to it. So by definition, Riskers have better timing.


...I am soooo looking forward for non-riskers starting to cry about something else!

hahahah were you even aware that there were two risk buttons? ...and that you can use them in combination with all shots?

[Coolhand Texas]

damn I thought this guy was gone. I was even a non risker in ts3 and I still thought he was a dumbass.

Sorry but your arguments are worthless. Risk wasnt about 1 button perfection, its about timing. Hey and guess what this game is about?? Timing. Well i guess you are screwed then

[NickZ3535]

I'm happy they are gone. They may have required more "skill", but they made the game horribly unrealistic and, like Sherlock said, you had to conform to a certain style to have a chance of beating the best.

but as far as the moron starting this thread, be the better man and shut your mouth

[djarvik]

But that's just it Nick, it is not entirely true. Yes, a power risk style was basically dominant and the best way to fight fire is with fire. At the same time, when we opened up SIM Tour for TS3 - everything changed. Seriously, I am sure other members will agree.

I stopped playing 40-90 because I failed. I failed to find a way to win consistently without the all out power risk. So here I agree.

[VillaJ100]

I'm gonna be a Judas here and say because of no risk, TS4 could potentially have less variety than TS3, simply because now if i want to go for a all out winner, i can't.

[NickZ3535]

No I agree that the SIM tour was a huge advancement. I'm just talking about having a decent time playing the normal online modes of the game without going up against goliaths that hit the ball 200 mph every shot and take all the fun out of the game for people look for a little more realism.

[targon12]

Now that they cant hit a clean winner every point off a 135 mph serve the cheeser must change their whole style of play. They are probably mad that they spent all that time perfecting the Super button and now they must actually imploy strategy. "Strategy? I dont wanna have to use strategy, I just want to press one button and hit an impossibly fast shot every point!" Yes they got good at exploiting a dumb idea in a poorly thought out video game. Uh Oh, now they must think their way thru a match instead of using the "Super-Powers" button. Hey maybe your right though. Every game should have a Risk Shot button. Maybe in Star Wars game you could prees the button at the right time and destroy the entire universe with one press. Yeah, great idea!
