Yet Another Reg Tour Rule Suggestion

[Ary1g]

Okay, Djarvik mentioned this idea to me.

My first suggestion will be (may change after discussions):

No attribute under 50 which equals No grey attributes.


What are the pros and cons on this suggestion?
Can we adjust it?
Is a 45 limit better? Why and how?
These are just a few questions I wrote to get your brains working

best s&v coachs would not be affected as much as baseline coachs so they ll probably become OP

Even attributes under 40 isn't a problem.. You can still hit a perfect drop shot volley with 40stats on volley and run everywhere with 50 speed but you can't counter 98/98 service which most of the time will be an ace and if returned then next shot will be a winner... So lower stats still help you but higher stats won't be easy for your opponents.. So banning stats below 50 won't make any difference unless and until some higher stats on attributes like service and power are restricted

I like this idea, the only problem is that only OB players suffer since they rely so much on power. DB and SV players would be able to adapt to this.

The game is good as it is in my opinion, nothing needs to change ; just play Top Spin 1, or check some videos on youtube of ts1 top players to convince yourself, you'll see how crazy and arcade it was... And you'll be happy how TS4 is in comparison

TS4 with ITST, and the sim tour are amazing !

I think the most affected builds will be OB, not baseliners all together.

I've checked the calculator a bit.
There is one build that gives 100 serve and 85 power. I have a build who has 71 power, and I have plenty of power in that build. Can't imagine that 85 power is so very bad as some here say. Yes, it will probably make it a lot harder to win they way people win now, but with a 100 serve, you should be able to bring quite the trouble with a build like this. Also I can hit the lines on the serve with 69(even less, just ask Tigerofintegrity) in serve, so with 100 you should be able to do angles that will make up for the lack of power you'll loose with this rule.

But I agree. It seems that SV will get less affected than baseliners, but again, I don't see it so bad bringing more SV players into the tour. It is still quite difficult winning a full match with a SV player as your SV game must be at top pretty much all the time. By returning short and using deep topspin returns, you give a lot of trouble to a SV player who hasnt a volley skill of 90+ in my experience.

What do you think?

I have much more to say about this, but run out of time now as I have to go to university now. See if I can post more when I get there.
