LEVEL UP POINTSYSTEM -COACHES EXTRA SKILL EXPLAINING

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

it would be nice when someone can create a list where you see how much attribute xp ,and for which attribude you earn for every level you use .

with this it would be much easier to build up a player
s/v LEVEL 1 -20 which attribude XP in every level
OBL -LEVEL 1 -20 ""
DBL level 1- 20 ""


maybe someone can make a calculator (like the goldcoach calculator) for this .where you see level for level how much xp for which attribudes


also thought it would be nice when we have a explaining what coach extraskills exactly do ?

mean what makes as example higly flammable exactly ??
or what means diesel server ?

THANKS ALOT ROB

explained on one look . awesome job rob . really nice .

[Cro Morgan]

Still a bit unclear as to why all of this was placed in a (supposedly) sim-styled version of tennis.

[Rob ITST]

They're one of my favorite parts of the game. In some ways, I think it is pretty sim-like:

Some players play tougher with a lead or when behind, some are better at redirecting pace, better in long rallies, hit better shots on the run, good closers, etc.

I think it makes the pros more balanced (can't speak about created characters, since I haven't played online yet).

[Cro Morgan]

Yeah, but it should be ME, the actual person, who plays better with a lead, or whatever, not something that's programmed into the game.

[ANILTJE]

Agreed It's not a sim

[Hawkeye Miihawk]

I agree with rob. If anything it makes the game more sim-like. These are the kind of differences you see within real life pros as well.

If there were no skills then it would be like TS3/VT, where all big servers are the same, all offensive baseliners are the same, etc. With these skills you can see differences between characters of similar playstyles. Some S&Vers are better at low volleys, some basliners can handle pace better, some defensive baseliners play better as the rallies get longer, etc.

Karlovic S&Vs, but it's definitely not the same as pete sampras/max mirnyi/etc.

[djarvik]

I am with Cro and Anil on this one. This makes the game more arcade. However I do like the idea of coaches, I would just did ot a bit different.

Now you can cover you real life weakness of being nervious and making bad shots when behid by using a perk. :s. Nothing SIM about it.

[TomBs]

Agree with all of you partially
I like the coaches, add variety to the game/setups. Only a few skills are mental skills, and indeed I don't like those. I do like the others however, all useful in some way, and everyone prefers different skills (unless a skill really stands out of course).

I like Robs idea (in the other topic) though, about coaches giving you some extra points for the weaknesses instead of optimizing your strong skills even further.

[djarvik]

...but that will makes us all the same. I stand by my idea of coaches deducting stats as well as adding them. +10 power shoal come with -4 speed. +15 FH should never come with +15 BH.

Coaches are great idea done badly.

[cj-united]

A problem that I am finding is that in trying to create a Pro that has its strengths as well as its flaws (I rarely venture online so I'm happy to do so) I'm actually struggling to do this? I was trying to have my CAP's serve and speed as its weaknesses and I believe serve is currently his 2nd highest ratest stat, while his volley is a lot lower than I had wanted? This just me, or... ?

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

the coaches make the game little more arcade in my opinion:

without coaches the game is more sim

but the whole coach aspect is somehow cool with all the skills they have .

OMG

I agree hahaha

[Rob ITST]

Only a few skills are mental skills, and indeed I don't like those.

I can see that for sure. But the others add variety that just isn't possible with the stats alone.

Just be glad you can't get "Monstrous Defense" and "Monstrous Offense" on the same character. You'd play better no matter what the score was.
