NEW HERE - Need Advice

[Sweetmusicman]

Hi all. New here. I love Top Spin 4 and playing on difficulty level - Normal. The problem is I got entrance to playing Grand Slam Tournaments. I loved it to bits, that is until I reached the semi finals. The AI opponent is unplayable!!!!!!!!! The gab between the first round up to quarter finals is ridiculous. I am losing straight sets 6-0,6-0,6-0. At first I thought well maybe its just this tournament. So I continue the tennis calender up to where I have to play a Grand Slam Tournament again. I did well up to the semi finals.... Guess what, I met Superman again in the semi finals.

I hope there is a patch or something to fix this otherwise there is no way I am going continue playing this game. As things stands now I know for a fact I will never win a Grand Slam because Superman is waiting for me in the semi finals. So i actually need help on how to counter this superman beast or is there a patch that fix this? Thanks for listening

In the semi finals and finals of Grand Slam the AI difficulty increases. You just have to practice and see if you can win.

No Offence, but how do you return a serve of 169 mph? It's ridiculous. The AI player stands on one spot sending me from corner to corner. Until it's imposable to get to the other corner in time or when you do managed to get there in time, the the return shots of the AI hit you with the speed of light. Ai stands on one spot for most of the game using back-fore hands which just is too unrealistic, even for Roger Federer. I noticed the a superman effect differs for every guy who owns a copy of the game complaining about super human AI players. Nah.. I pass. I did enjoyed the game while it last.

1.Use more control shots.

2.Go more for angles.

3.Hit more perfect timing.

If you stil cant beat the CPU on normal then well you really have no bussines in this website.

And nobody can serve at 169mph.

Get your facts straight or dont even bother to post and complain because you cant beat the CPU on normal, which is kinda pathetic.

[Tamthewasp]

Lol. Yeah no serve can be hit that hard. To be honest it is not difficult.
Mix up your shots. Control the court. Choose the right shot. Defend better.

I don't recall this forum having a minimum skill requirement.

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. No reason to give this guy shit because he's new to the game...
In fact I would say the opposite should be done, give some encouragement and tips. Though to be fair, the guy does seem a little bit whiny. We've all had game tantrums I guess though.

[jayl0ve]

Isn't Loki kinda right though??

I personally have nothing against less-than-stellar tennis game players....they're people too right?

But back in the day ITST had an air about it, like....this was a place only for super-good players. Now it's more open to every skill level.

Maybe that's just my perception...but anyways I still think Loki's kinda right. If you can't beat the CPU on normal I really don't know how you would beat a good (itst) human player. I guess you should be free to try though

[emate007]

Exactly, I see tons of 6-0 6-0 scorelines, but the recipients of the beatdowns apparently enjoy it enough to sign up again and again. Nothing wrong with a little masochism!

[C4iLL]

You're idiot to say he hasn't his place here.

1) By playing against humans, he will progress. It's like in real tennis : when you play against good players, you increase automatically your skills...
Ex : some weeks before the US Open Loki, I've just seen that you lost 6-0, 3-0 against Indiantonike --> I'm not sure you could have won such a difficult tournament with the level you had at the beginning... You progressed a lot with ITST.

2) He can meet players like him who are beginners during tournaments, or for exhibitions and have nice games / training.

3) He can talk about the game whatever his level is.

4) A beginner today, can be the next master tommorow.

Conclusion : your answers are stupid.

By saying what you said Loki, you make people leave ITST... It's not really intelligent regardless the number of players who still plays the game on Xbox...

So @ the author of this topic, off course you're welcome here !

I had no problem with his first post and was going to gladly give him tips until i read this comment in which he states false facts and blame to game or the CPU for his losses, which in my opinion is ´´pathetic`` why? you may ask, i think its pathetic because he knows that Top Spin have a level progression: Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert.

This guys was playing on Normal so he must know that there are harder levels right? so when Tawtemwasp gave him help he said that it was impossible to beat a ´´superman`` character and complains about the game and its difficulty... again... instead of serch the forums or try diferent aproachs to the game he complained... like 80% of ITST does.

C4hill your absolutely right, when i joined ITST i was garbage at TS4 but then IndianNike whooped me in the ass and what did i do? did i blame on the game? said it was unrealistc or that he was superman? or did i realize i was playing wrong and had to look for diferent ways to play if i wanted to be better?

So true, I sucked so much when I first came to the website. By playing against experienced players, your game gets better and better.

By 169 mph it wouldn't surprise me if he was mistaken and what was actually shown was 169 kph just my 2 cents

[jayl0ve]

haha I didn't really think of that, I just know that I've never played the career mode so maybe they really do serve 169 mph
