Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

No...HawkEye is only there because of human error...computers shouldn't/don't make errors; how lame would it be to lose a match point because the computer randomly decides that your ball was 1 mm out???

HeHe we could have a long discussion about this. :wink:
What is not fair is that you can lose a macth beacuse the human eye can´t see that the ball was out, just 1 mm it´s true, but out after all.

Nope, I'm going on record as saying that would be one of the stupidest ideas you could put in a tennis game. The developers should definitely be focusing on things that make the game better/more fun...I don't remember 1 time in my life where I was playing a tennis video game and I thought "THAT BALL WAS IN!!!" when it was really out, or vice versa.

I would like wristbands, ankle braces, knee and wrist tape, this would help make the pros more realistic and i think it would be a nice change

Why have challenges? The only reason they're needed in real life is that sometimes you get bad calls - but video games can make perfect calls so there's no need for it. I mean, the game knows if your ball is out or in before it even lands. :?

Yeah, this is EXACTLY what I'm trying to say, especially the last sentence.

You wouldn't mind somebody challenging every single line call, just to piss you off? Really? Because I'm sure that would happen.

I would like to see each linesmen and lineswomen with his or her own ability of calling the ball in.

The umpire will of course have the highest probability of calling the ball correctly. :wink:

I also think that the game should penalize you for not playing it for a while (like it will recognize that you missed grand slams and master series and the computers can overcome you in the rankings).

Lastly, you can have rain delays, may help you in difficult matches. LOL. These features can be disabled in the game, if desired.

thats because you havent played dmt...the ball can land anywhere...

anyways, the ball leaves a mark, but believe me you sometimes have to ask the other player if it is clearly out or not!!

sammy said some time ago that sometimes the ball mark is clearly touching the line but the ball was called out...if the ball mark was taken out (not on clay), then a challenge system would be perfect for this game
