i've played patko7 a few minutes ago and it was impossible for me to get any longline return. even his return wasn't the best, high and slow, my player felt like frozen.
of course, patko7 is very good, but a player with 94 at volley and 83 at reflexes should get a longline return.
sadly to see, that power seems to be all in ts4.
HI
I have 20 point in SV with a better forehand low volley artist and expectacular volleys , at around 100 reflex and 90 volley
The trick to SV is vary the serve , position yourself in the middle of the court before serving so you have time to get to the returns down the line , serve some down the middle , don't always go for the power volley , if the ball is high sure , but if they are returning low slices or drop shots let it bounce and hit it to an angle or down the line , now you are set for a good volley.
Also do some serves with the buttons , slice and kick serves are good , the button serves allow you to move in to the net , so if the person is slice returning down the line you will be at the net by the time the slice is floating .
variation is key , volley some control and normal volleys right back the the opponent since they are expecting volleys to the opoent court , some times a volley right to the oponent is better than hitting it to the other side , bring them in with drop volleys and then pass their 0 reflec 0 volley character with an easy volley , remember when they are at the net it is your territory.
From the baseline don't hit power , hit control slices on your weak side and top spin flat control to your strong side and move in the moment you smell an oportunity
and sure add me my Xbox name is veno400wolf
