SLICING:
It was a huge problem in the previous game and it remains such. It's actually perhaps even worse in this game because you are limited to such few controls and the movement is so stiff. Because it is an overpowered shot it should only be used in defensive situations sparingly, with very few exceptions.
Even worse than normal slicing I've found in this game is returning with slice. This has to go right to the top of cheesy shots in the game. From what I've seen it's basically the returner's version of a Zero-Power Serve. Now, I realize that there are some applications of it especially when you're against an overpowered server constantly going out wide. Even then, however its use should be very limited because the objective of the game is to "win with skill and sportsmanship" rather than "win at all costs."
Don't be afraid to report unfair play in matches as well. It's the only way to filter out the bad. If it's getting bad, start keeping track on a tally sheet the drops both you and your opponent use, or the slices, or the slice returns. Report your match in great detail so the staff gather a clear understanding of how everyone plays!
Good luck to you all, and play fair!
