A suggestion for character restrictions on ITST tour

[Wrathchild tw]

Here is an idea that I think should be looked at: Limit ITST character to level 15. Some adjusting around that may need to be made, maybe a level or two more or less for example.

- Once you have a level 20 character you can create a new character of any level in a few minutes.
- A lot of the extreme character builds will not be possible without the last few levels.
- I believe at this level (or around that level) character builds will need to be more balanced to by successful. If you're limited to 15 advancements and you take more than 12 in any single category, you will most likely be crippled.

I do think that with such a restriction, characters can have personality in their play style without being obnoxious in a power build.

The only downside I see is that ITST characters wouldn't be competitive with World Tour level 20 characters, but with four slots and quick build options I don't have any issue with that.

Thoughts?

might be on to something... maybe even have different tournaments for different levels... say lvls 15 18 and 20 or something?

Ofcourse you have your Opinion and we have to accept that but I see no Reason for a Characterlimitation at all because it's just not necessary.
The Balance of the Game is so strong that you need no Limitation.

Even with my total Powerbomb and Servebomb I had almost no Chance against the Top Guys and lost to almost everybody besides Pfnerch.

You may not forget that even a extreme Creation has totally weak Points.
The Charactersystem is good how it is and everbody should get the Chance to use the legit Character he wants to use one the Tour.

And the Mainpoint your forget is that the Charactersystem is balanced by Level 20 from 2K Sports and not by Level 15. These Guys are Professionals and made the Game this Way and we should accept everything like it is besides possible cheesy Tactics.

I agree with Sinna .. I've had many tough games but I enjoy it even vs the over powered players.. Its just like running into those roddick types with massive forehand, serve and power.. yet everyone so far has a weakness that I've been able to exploit - but these are early days im sure there is something blatantly uneven out there waiting for me to come across

[ANILTJE]

I agree with Sinna. You can win. But I do see that going maybe only till a certain level will just avoid monster setups.

So I am all for it.

I'm going to bump this thread back up now that we've all had some time to play the game. I still feel that it's a good solution all around and should make games more competitive.

i guess you don't want new comers to this site then?

doing what you said can be extremely difficult for a newcomer to tell him he can only create a character to such level

keep the game open for now in a month or 2 with enough posts we will know one way or another what is and isn't overpowered

[Wrathchild tw]

I don't think it's any different than telling a person they can't use a certain combination of levels, abilities, or coaches. Quite a lot of people that have been playing on World Tour mode feel like something will need to be done as there some possibilities out there that are unrealistic and/or overpowered.

My thought is that by setting a level limit it would allow only a single rule to be made rather than multiple, and should still allow characters of the same level to have personality without being possible to get overpowered.
