all-rounder with a volley skill

[ben-1802]

Trying to create someone with just average 70 for groundies and volley and power and speed but this seems impossible does any1 have any good setups or ideas ? would love to s&v but u cant take full advantage of a 90+serve stat when your power is like 40

That is true Ben and as in our WS match yesterday that was the case , i have found that i have had to make many different characters to try to get any sort of result , but the problem is there are so many different characters who play sometimes one skill wont work against them or it may , i took a risk with the WS char that i used yesterday , cos i couldve been blown off court but for me the key was keeping the ball deep and NOT dropping it short cos once i do that im in trouble , and also the volleying does help in terms of miixing things up but it really is just a case of trying different variations , a lot in my case lol

Try 7/6/7 Bickham: you can get orange in everything but you get red in FH and yellow in power.

Mathew Grody - 7/5/8, 7/6/7, 8/5/7 - put 15 bonus points on backhand, and 5 on forehand: you get orange in all stats, plus you get Volley Shots Artist and Diesel Hard Hitter.

The player i was using was a mostly defence and SV but i find if u use the hard deep topspin even against a power player and its timed right they will eventually make the error , either that or you just chip in and put the volley away , tho as i say i did find the power a litlle bit tough at times but if the opponent is slow they are easy to beat despite them having high power ( mostly )

7/6/7 +3 FH Bickham for a better FH , 7/6/7 with Grody +3 BH for a better power stat imo , im gonna try the second build today and see how it goes by the way.

thanks for the replies what setup do you use Andy? as i noticed you had around 83 speed and good volleys

[Andymachine]

No worries m8 , well for the Gabriela Sabatini character i used 5 in SV, 5 in Offensive, and 10 in defence hence the speed and the depth and height of the ball when i use the topspin , however if u can make a char that can be powerful and come to the net also that can be easily nullified i feel. So if that happens u just gotta come to the net and try not to let it happen or just slice , ive done the same with a new male char ( not the one u seen , that was my bash artist i still get urges from TS3 haha) but im hoping the male version works as well but in the male version i have put 7 in Sv , 7 in Offensive ( to help serve and 6 in defence)

cheers think i will just have to mess around with a few settings and hopefully find one i like. What coach do you use to get the topspin on those settings?

do you think any of these setups are good enough to be used in tourneys here on the ITST
