ahh that is where you are wrong. It is your fault that the ball goes out "unforced errors". Since it was your timing that was off (early or late) it is you who made the unforced error, not the computer.

...the computer just makes it possible. :wink: Where in Challenges, the computer will make a mistake for you, just so you can challenge and correct his mistake :?

Actually, you know what I just thought of? What if they put the animation of challenges in, but the player had no control... THAT would be the perfect solution! Like there were never actually bad calls, because the computer would know if it was wrong, but the animation of a challenge was included :D for example say you hit a winner on the back of the line and it's called out, but then you're player automatically makes the challenge and it's overruled, I think that would be the best thing they could do in the ts series. Or even if you hit it out, but it's called in, then computer challenges. yes, they'd all be correct challenges, but I still feel it'd be a cool effect

That could be kind of fun, after a very long rally with the crowd excitied or something. The ball could be JUST out, and alredy decided as out, yet not called 'out' by an umpire. The player automatically challenges, and its shown as 'out' on hawkeye. Might be more fun that just the computers line judge voice going "OUTTT", or even if it happens on a close to the line point, the decision will be always correct, but for that split second you as the player dont know which way its going to go....

How about they just play the Hawkeye animation on really close shots - the player wouldn't actually challenge it, but we get to see Hawkeye just like we do on TV.

Now that I like. Just to let us see how close the shot actually was.

Can always count Rob to come through :lol:

+ 1 on that! In that form I could accept hawkeye in a TS game. Actually, now that I think about it it's something I really want! :D :shock:

By the way yesterday I had definite challenge material. I hit a serve right on the line with fed called out, yet the ball mark on the clay had clipped the line... harsh.
