TIEBREAK EA - Megathread

No i was not complaining as i want as many players also,i just want more in the top 100 first and then lower ranked later on.

The roster is not exactly short of choice so wether the ones you mentioned Will ever be added who knows. But it’s good to have these lower ranked unknown players in there, just because they ain’t winning anything or getting any TV time , they still trying just as hard as the top players and deserve to be in the official wta licenced game aswell.

So now i understand why Malene Helga was added as she is the partner for Ruud in United Cup which i have never watched,this is a very good attention to detail keeping it real. On another note the ball sounds are great going from topspin,flat and softer sounds of slices but on my sound system it was way too loud so i dropped sound effects from 100 to 58 and it sounds great.

i tried the new patch , there is no major change to gameplay

positives:

game speed slower little bit, but also player speed slowed down, so almost same difficulty
added more variants to players
al is smarter and less slicing

negatives
net play is worse now as volleys are slower and nt feel real
still no Al unforced errors this should be addressed
slider still nt added

All rallies still left right , its imposible to catch ai in wrong foot. Classic arcade.

not really its not totally left right, u can mix flat with spin , deep shot using analog stick , go net, slice, serve has more effect now , the main issue Al should do more unforced erros


Yes its totaly left right. I can mix but cant catch ai in wrong foot. Just win points with left far right close or dropshot. Prety boring to play. And yes legendsry is little challenge to win now

What about drop shot issue? Is it still an easy point winner?

Its fixed prety good but if you master dropshot you can win a lot of points. But i feel nervous with left right ralies :rofl::rofl::rofl: i try 10 time in row go in left far side of khachanov all 10 he easyly catch :rofl: if you want to win point left right , right left all the time.

did u try alcaraz variant? hes not showing for me

Look at this raly i record this for you now. On legrndary but its same with every level. Just cant catch ruud in wrong foot. Must go right left , left right to win point. Its always like that.

the lack of unforced errors specially the AL ones makes the only way to win points is winners so going left right is normal,wrong foot is kinda difficult to apply in arcade game

In tennis elbow 13 or full ace simulator you can :man_shrugging: in tiebreak cant

Not true at all,the rallies are not left right,left right anymore why are other players and myself not experiencing this as all rallies the cpu hits randomly two or three times down the line sometimes when the player may move to cross court. You may not use much variety in your shots which could be a problem.

Bro i play tennis games from 2000-s :rofl: i am not idiot :rofl: this is classic arcade , not even close to simulation.

So you still did not answer why myself and others have much more varied rallies than you,of course there will be left right shots in rallies don’t you watch real tennis but to say that is all the cpu is doing is just not true,i have been wrong footed by the AI thinking it is going to go left right but then goes twice and sometimes three times in a row down the line anticipating me going the other way and sometimes slicing and doing dropshots.

the boys are fighting again? xD personally i am right in the middle between @havastar and @fico26 it is actually possible to wrong foot AI even in legendary difficulty but it’s very tough to do it…the problem is that you are better off playing cross(so left right as fico said) because 95 percent of the time you get the cross counter from the AI if you try to wrong foot them! I don’t want to get into deep feedback yet but overall a positive update imo. Rallies are definitely more varied and mostly fun! It’s still an arcade game with an slight edge to simcard but let’s see if we get closer with the next update!

I was saying the cpu wrong foots me quite often,yes it is hard to wrong foot the cpu.

So I have to say first of all that this is a good update. Loving the shot sound improvements. Feels much more satisfying when you strike the ball. The speed of the game also feels good and the AI decision making is better. They seem to play the more logical shot now, hitting winners when the opportunity is there etc. However, the variety of their game feels more limited than the previous update. Seeing less slices and lobs etc?

Also, I have to agree that the game is very left to right, right to left etc. This is not new though. I have been making this point for the last few patches/updates. The problem is that you don’t have enough control over shot placement unless you stand still for 5 seconds before you play your shot. Otherwise it is going back in the centre of the court and nowhere near the lines. So in order to give yourself the 5 seconds you need to power up a more acute shot (one that might beat your opponent) you have to make your opponent run from one side of the court to the other, hence the left to right gameplay. This seems to be the only way to create the space to hit a winner or increase the likelihood of forcing an error (into the net).

So frequently you find yourself in a good enough position (and your opponent in a bad enough position) to play a shot tight to the line that they can’t reach but you simply can’t because the mechanic won’t let you without enough time spent standing still. So you revert to stretching them across the court to create the space every time. Flat shots seem to go a bit tighter to the lines but unless the ball bounces up high your return is going straight into the net. You need more precision on top spin shots when you’re moving or not stood still for long. At the moment you just can’t play the logical shot in too many contextual situations.

I’d love to be able to wrong foot my opponent. Play a shot so obvious it’s not obvious. For example, make a last minute decision to return to exactly where they just played their last shot from as they desperately dash in the opposite direction to cover the court. Unfortunately this is just not possible because unless you stop still for 5 seconds to power up a more precise shot, you can only return to the centre of the court (or thereabouts) and it’s too easy for them to stop in their tracks and stay in the rally.

We’ll wait again for the next patch and hope this is addressed.

Its good update no major changes, less slicing and drop shots, slower pace, the game feel nice, its normal not to be able to wrong foot AL at legendary as the AL supposed to be able to counter, however we need AL unforced errors to be added
