Main issues in the gameplay mechanics are still there. I could copy/pasta my feedback on the 23. September patch but you can check that topic out so why should i, right? Patch definitely didn’t make the game worse. Some slight adjustments in AI behaviour when it comes to short balls and slices. AI isn’t the main problem anymore right now even though they still make many mistakes on short balls(but it’s a little better) Are you still wanna work on the other things like Serve/Return and Risk/Reward etc. and gameplay sliders @JNT_BA or is this something you don’t wanna address in a future update? As i said…some more communication on the plans moving forward would we really awesome
All players want Sliders, we really need it to adjust ball speed, Aggrisiveness, players speed, serv, fault rate,…
I don’t know if they can speak about that with us or no.
They never answer for this feedback.
AO2 and full ace tennis simulator, both have Sliders and all players like that, they can adjust et perfect balance with perfect difficulty and realism.
I hope they will take our feedback for sliders.
I agree with you! I think adding sliders would solve most of the game’s problems.
as i said…sliders will fix some issues but they won’t fit the bad Serve/Return mechanics or the Risk/Reward mechanic that is in the game. Plus cosmetics players ask for literally months now! I’ve read some of the early EA feedback and there are still many problems they didn’t tackle at all. Instead they pushed the gameplay more and more into a more arcadey Top Spin direction. To be honest…i am slowly losing hope.
The cosmetic options for career mode player are ridiculous. The pros in the game have so many different racquet bags, normal bags, tank tops, backwards hats, many different shorts and shirts.
Yet, you can only give your player the 2-5 outfits per sponsor that the game has already picked out for you.
It’s ridiculous.
I agree just add all the outfits and racquets AND Bags they you have in the game for the career
just some observation to hammer home how broken the Serve/Return game is at the moment! Match Hurkacz(me) vs Isner(expert AI) so two of the best servers in tennis but not actually known as return beasts! 2 sets…my first serve percentage 88%. Isner 100%. Whats interesting in this graph. My Serve placement is 95 percent close to the lines. So imagine 220+ Km/h bombs so close to the line…yet 1 Ace during a 7/6, 6/3 win. Let’s not just talk about that…there isn’t a Returns in play or points won during return stat in the game. The reality is that pretty much every return from the AI is in play…there aren’t really shorter balls, or blocks or Return faults in the game. This is when we talk about Return is overpowered(BOTH Ai and player) and serve isn’t a factor(plus not really rewarding from a mechanics point of view)
Second Picture shows hit points during rally from Me(hurkacz) whats interesting is when you look at it you have 3 straight lines actually. Left Corner, Right Corner and a little bit in the middle. Why? Because thats the way the Expert AI is programmed now…they hit those 3 spots with 95 percent precision all the time. Well to be honest…it’s unrealistic but it’s not really what bugs me personally! What really bugs me is that the developer gave AI this Advantage and at the same time nerfed us as Players…how precise we actually can play. This is what i meant when i say they try to make this more appealing to the top spin crowd. You have the same “chains” like in the 2k game. And to be honest even that doesn’t bug me…what really bugs me is that they have to at least add a Risk/Reward mechanic if we as players really wanna “Go for it”. So easiest solution as i said…make the Blue Blinking shot a deep, powerful shot(doesn’t matter if you choose Top spin, Flat, Lob or slice shot) and make the red overpowered one and mishit/out…All of the time! Modified/Aimed shots as i mentioned in my September 23rd feedback would be great too. These two things are the biggest Mechanics right now that aren’t fully there IMO. There are still many other things not right with the game but i would concentrate on that! Thoughts?
Yep, this serve/return issue is horrendous. It’s not tennis at all. I still hope that they’ll fix it though.
