What's going on with the two best tennis players in the game? BigAnt

How is it possible that Alcaraz—and I think Sinner too—can't keep a single ball in play, especially when returning your serve? You play against a player rated 80 and *they* manage to keep the ball in play; what the hell is going on with the two best tennis players in the world? It completely ruins the immersion in the match.

Serve with Shelton..

Before a patch or two—if I recall correctly—Shelton didn't step onto the court when serving (like what happened with Alcaraz); can anyone confirm? And I hope they fix it, because trying to return serve is absolute shit!

The AI constantly counts my serves as out.

I have a problem: the AI insists on hitting my serves out—some don't even reach 200 km/h, depending on the player—and I've actually won games just because they keep returning the ball out of bounds. It’s a bit frustrating because I don't know what else to tweak to balance the game, and there isn't a specific setting for AI return quality—well, actually there is, and I have it set to "Legend." If anyone else is experiencing this, please leave a comment. Thanks.

Any logo creators?

So, is there a logo creator out there who could give me a hand? I'm unable to create something as simple as a word; I've only managed to change the colors of a couple of community logos. I'm recreating the Arizona Challenger, and I want to put "PHOENIX" on the courts. If anyone knows how, I'd appreciate the help.

Does style matter less as difficulty increases?

Hi there. I’m playing custom matches with sliders, and I’ve noticed the level of play is higher than what I was used to in Hard mode. I’ve faced various counter-puncher-style players—who are the toughest for me to beat—and they all play the same way: staying at the baseline, hitting very powerful, deep shots, and trying to wear you down. Just when you think they won't hit it any harder, they place the ball right on the line. But today I played against I was playing against Kyrgios, and he kept hitting nothing but slices—which are, for me at least, a total nightmare; every slice he hits is a point for him, and I return them terribly... The question is, when playing on higher difficulties, does the CPU abandon its default playstyle, or is this just an isolated case?

how to adjust scoring options

Hey guys, how do I adjust the tie-break setting? Everything is on default, but the last option is greyed out (in blue) and I can't change it. The thing is, you can see in that image that my match is continuing at 7-8; it seems like it never ends... I thought there would be a tie-break before that... Is there a new rule, or did I miss something?

Help with getting the "Custom" option

Can someone tell me how to serve on Custom Difficulty? Almost all my balls are hitting the net or going out... Why can't I seem to hit a good serve anymore? Help, guys. Thanks.

How can I make it so that the AI's shots aren't always winners? I know it's difficult, but I'm looking for that balance.

Expert and sliders

Hey guys, I'm just about to start playing on Expert, but I need to stop the AI from hitting 50 winners per match while barely making any errors. I assume raising the difficulty will only make that worse—since the AI already hits a lot of winners on Hard—so... how should I set the error sliders to make them miss more often?

In my last two matches, the AI hit 36 winners and 43 unforced errors against me in a 6-3, 6-4 loss, and 12 winners and 23 errors in a 6-0, 6-1 loss... by the way, "speed" players are the exact opposite of counter-punchers; they are incredibly easy to beat.

Thanks.

¡Movimiento asistido!

Chicos, ¿qué efecto tiene el "movimiento asistido" en la jugabilidad? No noto nada especial...?????

¿Y para qué sirve el control deslizante de velocidad? Gracias.

Assisted movement!!

Guys, what effect does "assisted movement" have on gameplay? I don't really notice anything special...????? And what do you think is the point of the speed slider? Thanks.

Chicos, ¿algún consejo para reducir los winners? Ese maldito Purcell me está matando con sus dejadas... pero aun así logré jugar un gran partido with Jade with a rating of 70

Sliders

I had to translate the images because my post gets removed if they aren't in English. Thank

Here are my settings (sliders) in case you want to copy or tweak them a bit; I’m getting really good matches with this setup. Before taking those screenshots, I lowered the "Forced Error" setting to 5. I’m also sharing the results of two matches I’ve played. Cheers and thanks.

Help with drop shots.

Hey guys? I need help dealing with players who constantly hit drop shots against me. When I hit them, the AI almost always manages to reach the ball, yet I only get to one in ten... any tips?

Doesn't it get stuck to the track?

Guys, doesn't it drive you crazy when—no matter which tennis player you're using—the opponent hits a ball into the corner? You manage to get there to return it, but the AI immediately hits it to the opposite corner and you can't react because your player seems stuck to the court... On Expert level, the AI doesn't let you get away with that, and it's frustrating. What do you think?
