Finally a new rule(s) for TS3 in ITST?

[alex13090]

Oh i forgot to specify I didnt wish for a rule to be created about it, I just wanted to complain

I dont get this hatred for drop shots either, I only see them as cheesy after serve and when used defensively on a really hard shot, but just looking at what people say it seems any dropshots in all cases are cheese.

Anyway drop shots are easy to get to unless you pre-press, (exception being after serve)

Dropshots are fine! i just cant do them

only time is after serve when it is cheesy. also i prepress and get to the majority of dropshots played against me

Drop Shot in a rally should be banned?

Drop Shots are a great tactic to use when you'r opponent is behind the baseline, whether after serve or not if you'r opponent does not make the necessary adjustments to his placement he deserves to be punished. I see no problem in exploiting someone's lack of awareness of the court and the tactics that could be used against him.

i agree

[brgerflipr]

dropshots when used like in real tennis is perfectly ok.

but there is nothing more cheesy than when i have my opponent in trouble, he's running back and forth, is way behind the baseline scrambling.......... and then he hits a "defensive dropshot" for a winner. completely unrealistic and absurd.

another funny one is when you charge up and hit a 100+ mph forehand and then your opponent "counters" it w/ a dropshot winner. so stupid.

Totally agree! also this can be done with short risk slice!

Anyway, my opinion is that the ITST management should consider if possible to put a rule about the first option as most of us consider it as the cheesiest tactic. What do you think guys, im i the only one thinking it? By the way i have nothing but respect to ITST management, there is no need to tell it but i don't want anyone to think else

i agree, just allow abusing outwides

[Likos86321]

By the way i only saw moralspain from the xbox tour "getting involved" in this thread.

This thread was supposed to be for all of the community guys so feel free to tell us your opinions about it

EDIT: ovhij i really don't have a problem with outwide serves, i just L2 them to the opposite way! And as alex said, it takes the fun out of it

[maximo]

only cheesy for me are short slice after service or dropshot, but some shots are not very realistic , like L2 floating shots, anyway i acept it.

[RV_Cobra11]

lol fine i'll practice down the line serve

[Moralspain]

about the first option...i guess you meant "short" risk slice, am i right?...just to make it clear, thanks

[Likos86321]

Mostly short slice yes but, now that i think of it, also a r2+l2 deep slice can cause you a lot of problems aswell if executed in the open court

[AnnaSafina]

Definately the abused serves, thats why i lost most of my first matches

[VillaJ100]

Same. in a rally i can beat practically anyone. But out wide slice risks mean i never have that opportunity.

As i had a rant about earlier, any cheap play will be looked upon with scorn by me, especially if i lose because of it.

We have played TS3 far too long now to know it has too many flaws. Major flaw is short balls are too difficult to return, because the movement up the court in TS3 is ridiculous. Short slice, short angled serve, short drop shot, short crosscourt top spin, short volleys.. all hard to deal with. Some easier to execute than others.

The only rule I can see possible (to monitor) is no slice after serve, and no dropshot after serve. I say no 'slice', and not no 'risk slice' as there is no way you can distinguish a slice and a risk slice. To say you can't slice after a serve though would just be silly, as sometimes you need to slice if on defence... Hence, I don't think there can be a rule on this.

So any rules involving risk slice is impossible... I find when I hit a normal slice perfectly, it can still travel as fast as a risk one.

To say you can't drop shot during a rally just doesn't make sense.

Wide serves do get abused. But then, how do you set a rule for this??? The only possible rule I can think of, alex has mentioned, is that you move in at least one step towards the centre when serving.

Let's just create 'ITST Personal Rules'. Every player is allowed one thing that you are not allowed to do to him under any circumstances. e.g: I personally ban the use of drop shots against me; maybe djarvik will ban the use of forehands against him. We're onlyh limited by our own imaginations, people!! Think about it, a TS3 that doesn't force you to deal with unpleasant shots or force you to improve your game!! Awesome! Hardcore gaming at it's finest.
