so, after beating coolhand's sim setup with my ferrero, he got his revenge using safin...as i told him, he's clearly got the overhand with such stats and risk shots skills (sorry coolhand, i could see you were using a lot, i mean, a lot of risk shots in the rallies, i can tell from where the ball lands and also the sound the racket strings and your player grunts when he does, should have chosen your grunt more carefully if you wanted to hide it, really :roll: ).
I got to congratulate him for destroying me 6-1 6-3 but the second set could might have changed side on one shot (break point opportunity), but that's the game.
Then i played against mike(+some numbers), an irish guy, another itst player i guess, and quite a solid one, and we had a nice match ending on 6-4 3-6 7-5 against my Soderling. No stats overboost, no overuse of risks (some times, including some nice volleys), and, to me, a much more enjoyable experience than having to defend on risks all the time against a 90*4 veteran.

The match against coolhand, as he anticipated, did frustrate me to the point i don't feel the need to participate in the tournaments if i am to meet safins and all (but i like the look of his safin btw, there is something to it, charismatic and good looking, while a but overmuscular maybe).
No Hewitt vs Hewitt then, sorry Q

I know it is off topic, but i feel the need to express myself on controversial issues among the members of this community, with the fresh eye of a newcomer (in all humility please :oops: , i am mostly good at creating pros, could not LT/RT even if i wanted, outside serving of course)

Anyways,
VILARCANE

You dont run into safins, in all the tournaments at all, in fact i created a new player that i have been using recently, Donald Young. He only has 1 stat on 90. I have also been using a Marin Cilic, that is very realistic in stats.

If you want another match, with more realistic stats, im always avalaiblel to play. I love using my cilic, so if you want a match with him let me know.

Trust me, i dont risk, (except for serves and returns). I am honestly not that good at risking, thats why i dont. I rely on deep well timed normal shots.

Ask anybody, i dont risk.

Ok, Coolhand, I honestly could not care any less if you risk or not, risk on every single shot if you want and it wouldn't bother me, but dude...YOU USE RISK SHOTS! :D At least you did with Nalbandian, when we played. I'm sorry, but there is no way you can hit a return 1,000 mph right on my baseline, if you aren't risking. You were risking in our groundstroke rallies, too. Again, I don't care one bit, but I find it odd that you deny this 8)

I said i risk on returns, (read the paranthesis). In our match last night, no i did not except for serves and returns. Maybe a couple but rarely, when I use safin definately no risk. If I risked it was on the run and probably didn't go in, but I swear no risk. The only time i have risked is when i used my hewitt. ( i dont use him anymore because i couldnt risk)Also when i played joesixtoe 2 nights ago, (used my hewitt there as welll)

When i use my safin or or anyother player besides my hewitt, I DONT RISK.

What do i have to gain about lying about that?
I suck at risking.

denial being denial (u suck at risk, come on, this is false modesty at best, you did some amazing ones in our game, i give you that :wink: ).
Let us close the off topic, i am not a sore loser anyway coolhand, but as you suggest (thanks for your fair play) i'd rather go against players closer to my stats (never more and usually less than 2 90's in all my builds).

See u on court mate !

I would like a Match if you up in the next 40 minutes or so.

Coolhand is a "Closet Risker" :wink:

...I turn here, I don't see a reason for him to lie, and I believe him. But everyone says he does use them :?

From personal experience, he is either GREAT at risk or doesn't risk at all. Just because of the amount of Errors he ends up with.

I tend to think he doesn't risk. I do, a lot, and I like to think I am decent at it, but I end up with triple amount of errors then him.

djarvik, ok we can do it in 5 min or so (i need my dlp to warm up :oops: )
what player do u intend to use ?
which of my pros would you like to see in action (all with strengths and weaknesses sadly :roll:) ?

As i said, it is fairly easy to know when a risk is hot, all a question of where the ball lands (no regular shot will ever clip the line for instance), the sound is in many occurences quite distinctive because the default setup usually gives specific grunts for risks (i have a very good ear and a good surround for that), and the sound of the strings is not exactly the same...
But as you do, i believe coolhand, why not ? :wink:
And by all means, it is ok to risk, it is in the game, it is just not that much fun to me, i guess because my philosophy is against it, but hey, it is risky so it kind of balances the pros and cons, right, but it allows for too many freaking easy undefendable points as well (also right) ;o

coming live now ok...

no, no, no....I meant in 30 minutes! lol My wife watching a show for the next 30 min :oops:

I risk only with LT. I don't like RT. I know how and can risk well with it, but just don't feel like using it at the moment.

I will try 2 custom players.

Both Big Servers, one is ITST guy, one SIM guy.


I will start with SIM.

I would like to see Soldering and anyone else you like ;)

Thanks guys for actually beleiving me. And i promise you i dont risk in rallies, its just not my gameplan. I do get great regular shots, by great timing, thats why those shots clip the line, and my grunts?

I just set them, on efforts

i got one issue with my soderling, i cant serve very well cause i choose the motion closest to real life, where he lifts the ball high up in a straight stretch, but i don't play regularly enough with him (or with any other because i made so many pros and i like to change a bit).

other than that, he is a pest to many of those i have met here (right goa, ati, saml64, mike??? ;o)

so we'll see, but i'd rather play you with your sim first, i'd have more fun for sure, and maybe an opportunity to win, who knows, even a hobby practicioner like me :P

just a poll, did any of you have a look at my videos, because a friend of me asked me to do more gameplay / player area videos for all my players, but since it is gonna take me a lot of time to record / upload, i need to know if you are interested and if i am to get some feedback about it (google "dailymotion vilarcane" if you wanna see the existing ones already).

I guess this would be my last piece of work for the community (god i have said that so many times already :roll: )
