Creating Maria Sharapova- What setup/coach?

[gorankolasinac]

Hello all!

I currently play with a created Maria Sharapova character but I was wondering what other people thought would be a good/realistic stat for her? I made her (unpurposefully) have 100 power. It just ended up that way and have been playing with it for a while but feel that she is over powered (even though she is a very powerful player irl). What coach should I use for her and what set up?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
(I tried to search the forums for an answer already but could not find one).

Thanks for the quick response. I will create her right now. Hopefully I wont get so much hate mail as a result.

Is there THAT much of a difference between having 49 speed and 59 speed? That would be the only way I would consider choosing the second option. Her speed and general movement has gotten better on court.

Not a lot especially if youre used to holding the RB button for quick repositioning.

I think you should look at the skills to decide:

In the first build you get: Crushing passing shot and Instant Rocket

On the second one you get: Semi-volley king and Shot Counter

They both feel like her but i think the second one is better.

I had a similar setup to the first one, but it was virtually
Impossible to win online as the power isn't enough to compromise for speed. Also modeling her face is impossible. I've tried 4 times. Anyone know how to get a good Sharapova face.

[gorankolasinac]

Yea. I didn't make exactly that one but It's pretty close. I wanted to make the backhand a bit better because her backhand is killlller. So far the speed hasnt been a problem but out of the last 10ish matches I haven't played anyone that good :/

[gorankolasinac]

So, I tried to make the first one but that coach never showed up. I just have Gallo, Babb, and Zajic. I did 17 offensive b, 3 defensive b. First 3 bonuses I used on forehand and the last one on backhand. Did I do something wrong? I want the instant rocket skill.

She needs to have like a 40 on serve. Her serve is absolutely awful.

You need to go 13 OFB and 2 DFB after that Sahy Rabari should appear.

You know why her serve is awfull??? she´s had 2 back cirguries, you think serving ay 170-180 km is hard normally? imagine if you had 2 cirguries on your back.

THANK.YOU. I'm sick of people talking about her serve. When it's good, its GOOD. But after the surgeries it is only a weapon if she is having a good day. Regardless of the state of the WTA, she is world #2 AFTER going through an injury that many do not come back from.

This is completely irrelevant.

Yeah, she used to have a good serve, and yes, it's awful now because of injuries -- but the fact remains that it's awful now. It's by FAR the biggest reason she can't play at the level she used to.

I'm not attacking Sharapova, just stating a fact.

It's completely relevant... It is the main and probably only reason that her serve is not as good. The fact of the matter is, it doesn't have to be. She can have over 10 DF's in a game and still win. She is queen.

How is it relevant?

The fact is that her serve is not good right now. The reason doesn't really matter in terms of rating something for the purposes of a video game. So if you're making up a Sharapova character and want her to be the same as current Sharapova, then she shouldn't have a good serve rating. Of course you could also just be creating the pre-injury Sharapova, and then it wouldn't be an issue.

Calm down; no one is saying Sharapova isn't good. Just stating an obvious fact about the current state of her serve.
