Using the rb button

[Ali-Iqb93]

Yes fast repositioning means that it will help you to move quickly to the middle of the court also somehow helping you to run faster

[djarvik]

Agree with you Jess.

BH inside out should not exist, it is THE MOST retarted shot. What I find is that when opponent holds that button, it makes my guy less responsive...maybe its just me, but it hapend too many times to me.

ISO button should be less effective if you ask me, the snapping into position should go. It seems the game rewards you for holdin it with larger timing window, another attept by 2K to make the game "easier" that backfires.

[Ali-Iqb93]

Yea I ve never seen someone using backhand inside out in rallies except federer do sometimes while returning his opponents 2nd serves but only during returning serves not during rallies

There is no need for RB button for repositioning if you ask me, it should have not been in the game in first place, all it had to do was make your guy run to the net, all the way, without posibility of backing up...and if yhou choose to back up after pressing it, it should panish you severily on your movment, recovery and speed....as it stands - it does the opposite, letting you recover faster. Total crap.

That's exactly what I think about the RB button, too. I believe there wouldn't be complaints (or less complaints) about players with low SPD stats reaching incredible shots if that button were used in the way you described.

i agree with Ali. i use r1 everytime i need to get a fast repositioning to return the next shot, and also agree that the player moves faster with r1. i understand that you guys wanna make the game realistic how it is in real life but i think that many people here wants to keep changing everything about the game. i dont see nobody complaining about how some players hits some unrealistic control shots impossible to reach and it doesnt look nothing like real life. instead of complaining about that im trying to improve my control shots, something that i dont see in many players here that prefer to keep complaining and changing rules instead of adapting to the game. in my opinion its not cheesy to use r1 anytime the player wants to use it. its just my opinion and respect all the others players opinion.

well im not talking about using it on defense and i m not even sure it helps repositioning faster.

my problem is whith ppl who hold it when they are attacking in order to get more effective shots. and i never complained about it s cheesiness, i just said they look stupid when they do this running forward backward forward backward...

[ILuvBillVal]

It definitely makes you faster. It almost seems to me like instead of keeping LB as sprint and RB as approach shot they just smashed 'em together and hoped for the best! I know Al hated the hell out of the LB but I'd MUCH prefer it over the "fast repositioning" we have here. Not only that, I think having it separate they were able to make it slowly degrade your player's speed and performance a little better as well, something that would be difficult to achieve with having it all under one button.

Then I must be the most retarded player! I know I'm a bit of a... an oddball when it comes to playing tennis because I think I'm the only person who runs around the forehand to hit inside out/down the line backhands. Obviously not something I do regularly but for me, it definitely works and I hit some nice winners that way since my backhand is by far a more dangerous weapon. So it does exist just... for oddballs.

Personally I also find the inside out button a bit clunky. I know a lot of guys do it fine and can do it at will, but the way it comes together and the beginning of the animation always feels forced to me and quite difficult to put together.

It definitely takes some practice to make it effective, and look good at the same time.

I agree with Djarvik too, about the inside out backhand. However, if it didn't let you hit the shot, it would make things easier on me. It's rare that I hit one, but when I do, there is no reward since my forehand is 34 points stronger than my backhand.

[ILuvBillVal]

Yeah you're too good at that man. When I try to hit them half the time my player does nothing, a quarter he starts the animation at an awkward time that either makes me miss or screws my timing up, the other quarter I hit a half decent shot!

[Ali-Iqb93]

I guess cross court control shots angles are even more worst and difficult to reach than the angles we get using rb button..So we just can't start banning each and everything.. Have you ever seen such an angle that guys mostly hit using control shots in real life? Maybe in real life it is 1/50 times.on thus way there are so many things that are unrealistic...Soo I don't find anything wrong with holding rb button while attacking.. I don't understand why does it bothers you zooloo that how will your opponent look like if he holds rb button.You just have to keep an eye on the ball. What does it matter that how is your opponent returning your ball??. And yes agreed that inside out shot also needs practice and perfect timings to hit otherwise it will punish you..

Most of the time my RB button just does NOT work online....hence I never come to the net because my guy will simply not respond to my RB button

Just curious....you know this is a video game right???

And there's no such things as 'control shots' in real life???


Just...wanna make things clear.

i agree, this should not be banned it would be a big confusion with ppl who really want to approach net, and anyway the possible advantage it gives doesnt matter enough to be a good enough reason to make another complicated rule

well because i think, despite this game is not that realistic etc, it can look reallly good and some rallies are just awesome, with style in attack and defense, players hitting beautifull shots etc.

i enjoy that stylish aspect of the game alot, and the best moments i get on it is after i win or loose a rally with style on both sides. but when the opponent is holding rb all the time it can not happen so i dont like it.

but back to the topic im not attacking anyone or saying something is cheesy and should be banned. im just saying when ppl hold rb too much theyr player looks stupid

[jayl0ve]

I think holding down the RB button for every shot is super corny, and everybody who does it has to know that it gives an unfair advantage.

You can add soooooo much pace and angle just by pressing that button.

It's a noob tactic for people who can't time the ball
