pad/keyboard/acclerations

[Rafa15]

hey guys i played the game now sine 3-4 weeks and its make so much fun because it is the most realistic tennis game.
I have two questions: 1. Keyboard or gamepad? which one use the pros?
2. What is an accleration? Is this a shot type ? i have never before heard of this in a tennis game?

Richie & Vramvrim, n°1 and n°2 ITST play with a pad. Other top 10 players play with keyboard I think.

About acceleration, it's simple : it's a shot more powerful used to win the point. Short acceleration are very important : they land just after the net at a quick speed

i think i'm feeling much more comfortable with the pad too but it is very very difficult to get all shots to the buttons

any tipps for me to get the buttons more confortable? does anybody know how other pad players have choose their buttons?

till know i played with this settings: a=topspin any
b=accleration and aggressive lob
x= slice and drop shot
so i just used this 5 shots in the game, it canot work against human players or?

Okay I use a playstation layout for my controller.

Here are my keys.

x - accel shot
circle - normal shot
square - slice
R1 + x - short accel
R1 + square = drop shot
R2 + x = Aggressive lob
R2 + square = deffense lob
R2 + circle = top spin

Joystick to move around and aim shot

You need all them shots in game to play.

A, S and D are the only keys I use. I play with default controls (up+D for short accelerations and up+S for dropshots and so on).
