He's a super good player but with our France-USA lag he was teleporting all over the place and getting to balls that I thought he had nooooo chance of getting to/AND I was not able to use my shot counter skill to it's fullest because of the lag. To be honest I wanted to retire because it felt utterly hopeless but kept fighting and lost 6-2 6-2 I think.
where are those funny posts you usually drop with funny pics too

Man I miss posts like this, people pulling each others plums :shock:

To set the record straight...

@ Kidz, random stories and an interesting read, intriguing like
@ lokisharp - you ain't good until you conquer the Baghdad, you can't run forever
@ Jaylove - "trolling"? I would not expect anything different
They call me Baggy...

TS3: No.1 MSS - retired (15 titles)
TS4: No.3 MS - retired (2 titles)

Hopefully the sim tour will help this, but I think the biggest indictment of Top Spin 4 is this:

The better the player is, the LESS the game resembles real tennis. When you play someone who is great at the game, they never make an error, they hit insane short cross court angles from behind the baseline, and they will chase down every ball even when they have no stamina and 50 speed. It's ridiculous.

exactly. A good player can do unsim things even with SIM stats.

Dude i´ve never played TS3 ITST but i used to play WT and it was guys with 90,90 wings, 90 serve and 90 power who used to Risk slice return all my serves and do nasty volleys with 30 at volley.

Yeah, risk slice was "the devil" in TS3. But to be honest, most of the Top TS3 SIM players were crushing anyone on WT with their SIM players, and their cheesy techniques.

The level of TS3 SIM tour towards the end of it was unreal. Personally, I only had problems against WT guys who where lagging. Since they had the power and strokes, they could afford to miss-time.

I wont apologize, if u want send the video to the hosts, if they consider that what i did was cheesy, suspende me. it happens.( i know you record your matches).

Apologies? :lol:

Really?

Berson was the only cause of his suspension - it had very little to do with any other player.
