An Idea for TS3 SIM tour.

[coke4]

no, i meant it went to 2-2 then you got 3 games in a row. then were close to winning then had to leave...

we were mid way through 3rd when i had to go...

[Vieira151]

i didnt have much chance anyway

i hit 12 double faults in that match yeah?

that put my total for that night in 4 matches up to 42

yea thats right, i hate it when you hit loads of D.F, its so fustrating in my match v. brgerflipr in Madrid i hit so many d.f, one on my own set point

i hit 9 in 1 set in my first ITST match v. fedfan, remember that fedfan?

[Vieira151]

that day i also hit 17 in my first match.

it was against some sh_tty nadal player on player match who beat me 6-0 6-3.

He was terrible but i was worse. i hit 700 unforced aswell

I'm all for this idea. The game could become less about stressing over custom characters and where to allocate points, and more about just having fun and seeing who is the best with what came with the game. Everybody makes the same custom character anyways, what's the big deal with having Federer vs. Federer or Murray vs. Murray? I honestly have no problem with that.

I will probably use Berdych, Murray, or Borg.

But please, let's try to actually get this idea off the ground...you guys were talking about a 'SIM Tour' for MONTHS and so far, I don't think it's happened...

[Q. Reese]

I am thinking why it should be restricted?! Let it be opened! Is there a reason for restricting players?

I stay updated for TS3 Xbox 360 and PS3 to see if it is worth buying one of the consoles.

After playing a couple matches with djarivk with the pro players, i think that it could work. It will be different but i would definatley give it a shot

[MisterGregory42]

This is a great idea, and quite frankly, I don't see how there wasn't a pro player tour before. Heck, it's almost enough to make me want to start playing TS3 again. I'd much rather use a real player than a created one - I only use created guys when playing against ITSTers.

I'd use Blake or Nalbandian...most likely Blake since most of the people I see in player matches use Nalbandian.

OK, Played a couple of matches yesterday. Chederer and Coolhand. On clay. First impression is that the game slows down dramatically, you can really feel the surface play a role now.....I played on hard court right after with Pro player and it felt twice as fast. I think there is actually a big difference in surfaces, but with stacked players you just don't feel it.....you do with pros.

To be honest, Roland Garros surface is veeerryy slow, almost painfully slow....but then I tried Barcelona and was definitely faster.

Anyway, both Chederer and Coolhand send me a similar comment "...that was different..."

Need some more testing, but looks like the verdict is that games slows down noticeably....which is a good thing and a bad thing. Good - because there is more time to think, pre-pressing (selecting a shot before you see whats coming) becomes a major disadvantage, I consider this good, because that is just the right way, you really should be selecting your shot when you see whats coming.....the days of holding RB and shot buttons will be over.... Bad - some of the pros have weak serves, placement will absolutely crucial to stay in the game, most pros have decent return stats, that combined with risking will present a problem for any weak server.

There are also a nice number of players that are fictional. Some of them are very useful! I was able to hand with Coolhand's Fed with a guy that had white strokes, one being 59.....he did have 91 serve and 90 power. Very interesting setup as he also had 73 return. Perfect for someone who lines to risk a lot and keep the points short, GOA MASTER MDMA (COD 44) - you will love this guy!

This is true, with 90 90 90 power FH BH you dont notice the surface differences hardly you can just plow through clay, With pro's however topspin seems to bite more and serves on the grass and indoor surfaces like moscow and london are amplified. I'm all for a pro player tour. Ill also challenge anyone to beat my as Fed with Murray. I think it will be dang hard. Its true though ive played great games with roddicks, berdych's (who fedfan uses a lot) and even ancic. Nalbandian also seems to 'have fed's number' in the game, a hogh level player playing as him is tough to beat with fed.

The first match was different b/c i used haas whos setup really didnt fit with me and i couldnt get his serve down. But fed plays well with me, also i think nalbandian would work well too. But its hard for a nonrisker,

[djarvik]

Coolhand Texas, "different" to me was exactly the answer I was looking for.

...You should stop the non-risker thing , otherwise you will ave hard time in Pro tour. ....oh and you did risk plenty yesterday, maybe out of frustration, but you did get some of them in so keep trying!

If anyone thinks they can succeed without risking in a Tour with only Pro players - they are in for a big surprise.

[Coolhand Texas]

Yeah, i did try risking yesterday in the first match with federer and ended up with 15 errrors, buti also hit a lot of them back, so it was a success.i am defiantely looking to expamd on the risking and hopefully it will be a new part of my game.
