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

I just created a 20 SV this morning. I played online for the first time last night with my BD, and hated the results, so I'm going to stick with this one I think. I am working on the goals for the coach with the bonuses you stated, so I guess we think alike. Sorry, but I refuse to play with a power monster, and never roll FOTM specs in ANY game. I like to go against conventions and find my own ways to win.

I gave everyone but the best players hell with that spec , good luck !

Right now I went back to my all rounder with diesel hard hitter/volley artist and I find my self volleying a lot better now even with him , once you play with a SV you kind of learn to like to be on the net hhehe even with 67 Vollley I'm getting from 10 to 20 points won at the net lol

I'm definitely finding it to be a more enjoyable way to play so far, but I tend to charge up to the net too often right now. I need to pick my spots a bit better. It really is annoying that every single match I play is against virtually the same player. I have to admit that I'm just not very good at the game online yet, so its kind of frustrating at times, but I'll get there.

dont feel bad if you cant beat the TI MD unreal stats couch combo , The only thing that can beat that now is another one the same spec.

I have gotten close with both my SV and my all rounder but until it gets balanced it is too powerful

And ironically that spec is usually picked by the best players because all they want to do is win.

All I do with the TS combo is attack the net every chance I have because if you stay at the baseline you will lose .

I notice with the TI that the more TS they hit the more the ball jumps out so you have to shorten the points as much as possible and dont give them any angles keep the ball deep and wait till you push him back and move in for a drop volley.

but I have yet to beat a good MD TI player

edit:the only thing that I can see balancing this right now is if they make volley stronger forcing players to want to put points in volley i find that i can volley almost as good with a 39 volley character than with my all rounder, the only thing that can volley better of course is someone with a lot of volley but reflex seems almost useless right now , make reflex meaningfull for baselining and volley into a reliable weapon and then maybe we will see a change in customizations as of right now it seems that the min maxers already figured out the winning formula
