Just want you to check something, the unforced errors from Andy, most of them with his BH, probably all of them, i focused my game on his BH, his weakest wing, and wow, check those 19 unforced errors!!, finally you can follow a theoretically good tactic and have success

low slice bh works well at drawing errors off that wing

Dude, first we have until 12 june to play
Secondly, i think you got an answer. So why are you complaining here ? Don't understand the goal :roll:

by **jayl0ve** » Fri, 10 Jun 2011 23:00

Woah chill out

1st of all I didn't realize we had til the 12th, so that's my mistake.

2nd, I didn't get an answer from you...I got a response from you but you didn't answer WHEN you can play, you just said "I'm usually online at night".

WTF, you live in France, when is 'night'.
:lol:

An equivalent time for "night" would be "afternoon" or "evening" in the usa

That surely is exact enough to meet eachother isn't it

I played my First Game with becker vs. Federer - and Becker is like a playable tennisgod, im so glad that our only German tennisidol is huge in this game - it just rocks to play allcourt with him, you Guys should all try him out!!! WoW!

He plays really good!

But i have 2 strange things that happend to me to mention...2 times i had a brak point and i tried to hit a winner with a flat power shot after a very very long rally to the open side of the court...and 2 times my ball goes out even if it stood "perfect" for the timing !!!!! that´s s***** i mean, if i loose a point even if i´m in a good position an hit it perfect than it shouldnt go out ! right now i am really angry about that because you do not get many chances against him

Let me add the stats to the match, on the left my stats and on the right those of Neso007:

89 - First Serve Percentage - 67
46 - First Serve Winning Percentage - 52
86 - Second Serve Winning Percentage - 28
1 - Aces - 2
0 - Double Faults - 1
81 - Winners - 69
23 - Unforced Erros - 15
9/16 - Break Points - 8/26
17/29 - Net Points Won - 5/10
112 - Total Points - 110

I agree with Sherlock 117: If you are not positioned well towards the ball your shot can go out even if you timed it perfectly. Happened to me a few times against Neso007 because he was hitting deep control shots and I was standing a bit inside the baseline. This provides a nice tactical note to Top Spin 4: If you vary the depth of your shots pretty well then you can draw some errors or weak (=short) replies from your opponent.

I think those unforced errors were when I was down 1-4 and double break point in the second set (which seemed more like a double match points to be honest), so I can understand where the frustration comes from.

I'm quite happy with the balancing update, but as someone already suggested: The ball speed should be higher and speed of the characters should have more of an effect on defence. Some rallies are ridiculously long, even when you come in because then you eventually get lobbed and the rally starts from scratch. :lol:

I really hope you're being sarcastic and not condescending. Hard to tell online sometimes :lol:

That's not how you set up matches...you set an exact time you don't say "I'll be on in the evening hopefully you catch me".

I had a very good game against jimmymc1311. I played with Federer and he Nadal. I won 6-2,6-3. The key for the victory was a counterpart of the real life. I attacked a lot Nadal´s BH and he sometimes insisted in my FH, a thing that made my life easier. It was a very tactic game.

The best of all, no cheesy game for both parts. Winning or loosing, I hope to make more games like this one.

By the way, if anyone can help me, how can I put here the image of the game´s score???

I´m not very good with internet issues...

You need to upload it to a site like Photobucket and then copy the img code

At least that's what I do

I'm honestly quite terrible with 'internet issues' as you put it, as well :lol:
