Stick Serve Berserker

Postby Rocketsfall » Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:43

For all those who are eager to hit aces and get easy put-aways on the serve. The amount of aces you get with this skill is karlovic-like. I get about 10 in a long set, against everyone I already played. Finally, a tennis game where a good serve is a real weapon.

It seems like this skill always comes along with "focus serve", which is good. If there would be another major advantage the character would be overpowered.

Seems I can't cross that threshold just yet :(

LMAO. I created karlovic and I have the exact same coach. Stick serve berserker and focus serve. It's perfect for a serve and volleyer too. I like how serving is really effective in TS4. It's actually a weapon. Yeah they have to give you focus serve, anything else and the coach could be overpowered.

The thing is you have to get a perfect on every serve to really make the best of it. My timing isn't always good :(.

Is it just me or is the kick serve, with perfect timing, such a good serve? I mean like the kick outwide can be so deadly. The thing with serving now is that in order to get a good return on a flat serve, you have to quickly tap after your opponent serves. The problem comes when the server starts mixing things up. Now you can't just tap in anticipation for that powerful bomb. Returning well can become a guessing game. Is he going for flat then tapping quickly will be the best option. Is he going for slice or kick, then waiting for the ball to get closer and timing it is the way to go.

That's why you get aces, good returns, and bad returns. They tap quickly expecting a powerful flat, but you used slice/kick so their character either stands there and gets aced cause they pressed too soon or they hit a bad return. They expect a slice/kick and decide to wait a bit longer, only to see that bomb down the line and get aced. hahaha, I love it.
