So, I see three possible rules. Minimum of 50 on all stats, minimum of 50 and maximum of 90, or only one stat can have 90 or more.
The other idea where you can have 30 or 40 points difference between highest and lowest - that would require looking at your opponents stats and subtracting lowest from highest before each match. That's asking too much I think.
I still like the third option best (only one stat can have 90 or more). Like I said, no pro has Federer's forehand, Agassi's backhand, and Roddick's serve. So it's pretty realistic.
The reason I don't like the minimum 30 rule. Have you ever seen Roddick volley? I'd give him less than 30 on this game. How about Hewitt's power? Less than 50 there imo. Dementieva's serve? Do I even need to comment on that?
Also, what if someone wants to make a character with only 40 on power, forehand, or backhand? Does anyone have a problem with that?
So if we want a 'sim' tour, one that's realistic, then I really only like the third option. It solves the 100 on fh, bh, power, and serve problem while still allowing for diverse characters.
