the return should probably be lowered, but the high power and serve i think is fine.

pica you should try b. rogers, in sim

Pica, what do you suggest? Anyway to make it work in TS3 (a ball basher that is balanced to rest of the roster)?


....and EPOX FR, don't be shy Come say "hello".

My point is Bashmakov could potentially win even in 90-40 tour, because his one-two punch is simply impossible to deal with consistently. You may win a set here and there, but at the end of the day, I still think he has a huge advantage.

I know you guys want a ballbasher with crappy techniques and as slow as a snail, but Bashmakov's weaknesses can't be exploited. You can't attack the serve, you are always on your toes in your own service games. And if you lucky to get him into a rally, BOOM! He can use one single shot and turn the point around.

I think return should be lowered, and to be honest, 90 on both serve and power is just not a SIM combo.

Gotcha. I agree with you. Thanks.

Noted.

Here is another solution. Lower Bashmakov's groundstrokes to low 40s, and put the points only on volley or stamina. I think even after this adjustment, he is still too powerful.

It's like using a non-stacked 90-40 player against a player with 100 on both serve and power, and 70+ return. You can probably even argue Bashmakov is more extreme than this case.

[djarvik]

What about lowering power to 75? Will this work? Still a ball basher, but now needs to risk to get full power. No?

[Coolhand Texas]

but not necessarily a big server

[djarvik]

but not necessarily a big server

75power + 90serve + Stick serve = 140+ speed. Looks like a big server to me.

[picachu211]

I don't think so, you guys do remember these freaks of nature who can serve with 40 on serve and 90 on power?

[djarvik]

yeah... trouble is, we don't want to go below 50 on anything.

How about giving him a high stamina, but a low return and 75 power. So basically he would be a big server and not a good returner?

[picachu211]

Maybe low groundstrokes? If someone decides to double-trigger every point, it's hard to put these shots in.

Can you post stats to what you say? thanks.

[Coolhand Texas]

groundstrokes could be lowered as well as return, but then where do those go? you have to put them somehwere

[VillaJ100]

he doesnt have to have 560 experience points. maybe make him a 68 instead of a 70? if people choose that handicap, thats what they choose.

[picachu211]

Forehand 45
Backhand 50
Serve 90
Return 60
Volley 85
Power 90
Speed 60
Stamina 80
......
I think high serve and power is just a really really bad combo in SIM.
