Guys, we have a lot of new people here. Please let's not scare them away

[Otlichno]

In real life you dont see Roddick hitting 100 percent 1st serves in tho

True. But I definitely think (this applies in real tennis too) if you start pressuring your opponents serve their percentage goes down because they start going for too much on their serves, and allot of the time to compensate for this they start hitting their second serves with very little pace to actually get them in.

Because to be honest in that video every single return was the same, even in TS3 if an opponent's return of serve is predictable they get beaten with relative ease, if he had given his opponent a different look with his returns consistently and made Sinna have to actually think about where the ball was going to be it wouldn't have been half as easy, Strategy Guide did this well. Also pretty much every single serve was hit in the exact same place, if Pfnerch was able to anticipate where it was going it would have been even easier.

[pfnerch]

blablabla play ag him a then tell me where the fun is. I like to play realistic tennis a i wasnt motivated in the match ag a guy who served constant a speed above 230 km. ask players like hamburgerboy,Mack, Anil,Moralspain,Tenjai,Puttu a much others.I breaked them or was aible to Break them with my returns a they serve well too.but in a realistic way not bec. of reaction(im over 30 a my reactions a my nerves didnt enjoy that game ag him). breaking him is possible but a i say this only once again where is the **** fun?

[jayl0ve]

I agree with you that playing somebody, in any game, who has a near-unbreakable serve is not fun at all.

Unfortunately it's not fun in real life either when you play a giant server. Didn't Verdasco just recently say something about Isner like 'He's not even playing tennis' or something like that?? Haha I don't know the exact quote but it was funny.

It's like...if you could take serving to it's real-life logical extreme, as guys like Isner/Karlovic/Raonic do, it's kind of the same result as when you do it in a video game.

I'm just saying yeah I agree that this kind of thing isn't fun, but tennis unfortunately is not all about fun

I'm only putting my 2 cents in because I've played enough tennis games to know...I don't need to own TS4 to know about playing huge servers

Yeah, okay, but imagine the ATP tour with 75 Isners and 150 Karlovic's - no Federers, no Nadals's, no Soderlings, etc. Yep, just think how much fun that would be -- and how fast professional tennis would become the dullest sport on the planet.

[jayl0ve]

Yes it would be incredibly dull.

The reason they have such serving prowess in the first place is generally because of genetics...yeah they all have great technique but you can learn that, 'You can't learn 6'9' as the cliche goes (at least I think it's a cliche haha).

So anyways yeah I agree with you it would be dull as hell! The main difference is in a video game we're able to make player after player after player to get the right one, where in real life these giants are one in a million.

[Cro Morgan]

In theory, yes, but if big servers (i.e. one-dimensional players) produce winning results, these "player after player after players" you speak of are all gonna look and play the same.

[pfnerch]

everyone can be a big server in TS4. you need no skill, no tactic simple nothing. thats my main prob. if you could only make such huge serves with skill i had no prob jaylove. but you have only to pull the stick in a direction you want a you get the ace or your opp. returns a ball you can kill with the next hit. thats a huge prob. i created yesterday just to look a player with power 90 a serve 90 a played a few rounds online a i aced about 80 percent. so where is the skill? and im no big server. norberto hits aces with power 80 a serve around 50. thats skill man. not Power 98 a serve 98. my 5 year old daugther would hit with this skills aces. thats not the spirit of ITST a i would quit ITST soon not bec looses but without fun. why such players like to play at ITST is a shame for this great community. im not the only person here who think the same. look at my pool(power more then 80 kill the game). a lot of people think the same. and who get breaked with such a huge serve has no skill. when theres no rule soon everybody who only plays for winning only will create a guy with these stats.

Very bad Setup from you Sienna,this is " Tennis" without Fun...i cant understand this Setup from some peoples

I want never win a point or a Match with this Setup is a joke...sorry

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

the setups looks very good ,from both players .
the only point to discuss is MAYBE the high power stat in association with the high serve stat !
everything else looks pretty balanced .

only 2 stats are over 80 on both sides . okay pfnerch have 3 stats over 80 ,but instead only 1 over 90 .

so both setups are not stacked -
