Strange but original suggestion

Postby inseedious » Fri, 17 Oct 2014 15:42

Long story short: why not disabling error preview in next update? The fear while hoping that opponent's passing shot will land wide, or running to a ball that will likely land deep, but will probably hit the line, is one of the psychological parts of tennis. That would be a fun change, to mix up thing a bit. And it won't be a huge change during baseline rallies, because most times the characters just ignore shots that are gonna land out.

Just one side effect: on a PC screen, it's actually almost impossible to see if the ball will land out (already tough to recnognize a deep counter...), so some problems can happen when the opponent hits a lob, or when we are forced to hit more volleys than necessary, just to hit a ball that will probably land out (possible exploit for passers). That would damage a bit the already weak netplay, but as I said, about 90% of times the character automatically ignores out balls, so it won't be a big issue, and instead can make us better volleyers :)

Can't you already do that from Options menu or advanced settings?

Ofc, but I meant to lock that feature in the mod. If I want, I can still disable it for my client, but then I would just have an handicap compared to my opponent :P

Not a popular idea because the net play is already hard and relatively balanced and representative. As we all agreed earlier on other public topics for several years, the goal is not to reach 100% realism because you'd kill the fun.
If you introduce this rule, it can be fun, but the percentage of points won at the net would decreased and make it harder, hence less players would come at the net = less variety in match :/
