Ha! I can't really add the one place a good launch synched up with any reviews and PR is absolutely essential I would put it out everywhere if it wouldn't compromise its chances
Is it normal that since I updated to 1.1 the game became just too difficult? I was doing great before the update but now it seems like the game became too difficult. Even 1.5 star players are too hard to beat... So weird. By the way please do something about that button, make the press zone bigger
One more thing, I think it would be very nice to make the computer do more unforced errors (hitting the net or outs) as its sometimes too arcade to my point of view. Lower players should make more mistakes than higher ones. Right now (in 1.1) even not so good players hit the ball really hard and precise.
Will look at that. I tended to prefer the AI hitting the ball softer and high rather that out if you give them a shot they can't handle. Gives you a winner / smash oppertunity which is satisfying. But I can definitely introduce more erratic aiming if they have a trickier shot too. Would be a bit more realistic. Nothing too big changed AI wise. I closed an AI weakness to returns down the line (I can say this now, they were very vunerable to it before!), and also fixed that the CPU rarely hit top spin at you. This is probably why they seem to hit a bit harder actually. See how it goes once you adapt. I'm just having an epic semi final vs Mac and took the 1st set, so it's not *that* hard
I lowered the speed of the game to make it more playable (90%) and it's now much better. The A.I. gets to the ball very easily while for us the tiniest mistake makes and it's over. But don't get me wrong, it's still really good, I just woke up in the middle of the night and started playing just for a short while ^^
I also think one or two unforced errors in a game for the A.I. would make the game more realistic. Doesn't need to me that often, just once in a while as it also happens to us if we don't hit the ball well.
Cool. All good feedback! Plenty of updates to come so keep the suggestions flowing! I just took out Mac! 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 ! A scotsman called Drew (renamed in 1.1) in the US Champs final now..
Could be nice to have the option to play double with the a.i. Maybe the better you are the better players you can play with are. I would also suggest you to add a few nationalities as I am sure it will only makes those people from those added countries happy. Hongkong, Taiwan, Philippines and Korea (is Korea already there?) would be great for Asia. And finally more hairstyle or maybe glasses (sunglasses). Bold with a beard, long hair with a beard like a hippy Pony tail, samurai hairstyle and why not Iroquois or even punk (pink or green hair as it's very 80's)
Oh I nearly forgot, you could add the chairs for the players next to the umpire. And maybe ball boys/girls next to the net or behind. One and two hands backhands and the possibility to be right or left handed ^^ sorry that's a lot of things to add. Oh and the Davis Cup (play for your country) would be super awesome!!!!!
You could add the ball boy's actualy running to pick up the balls after a point or when it hits the net...
Can already be a lefty there's a button on the portrait box on the customise screen. Pink and green are in the unlockable hair colours too More hair / clothes take a bit longer to do but pleae keep suggesting stuff! Improved Court dressing and animating the ball boy is all planned.
I would have to with you mate. The difficulty is certainly up the notch from v1.0 especially with lower players.
Will stick an update in tomorrow to tune it back a bit in the other direction a touch. I'll reduce the pace of a well struck top spin for the ai players, linked to their abilities.
Yeah those lower ranked players are too good, they barley make any error and hit the ball really hard. The difference between a good player and a bad player isn't big anymore.
