R.Nadal (Fifa Tee) vs R.Federer (Sh0Case)

[Fifa Tee]

Fifa Tee vs Sh0Case - 7-6 4-6 7-6

WARNING: Sh0 is very animated on the mic and you WILL hear him shouting more and more as the match progresses, especially in the 3rd set tie-break

Synopsis The match started with a fairly simple routine job for me, I decided to assault the backhand. I took a 5-0 lead. Sh0 stepped it up to a level that I haven't seen in a long time, he brought it to 5-6 by winning 6 consectutive games. I managed to hold comfortably for 6-6 and the tie break was all me. I took it to make it 7-6 with ease.

2nd Set, I was up 4-1 and expecting to take the match. Then once again, Sh0 stepped up his game again and started hitting outlandish forehands. He won 5 consecutive game points to take the set 6-4 due to some excellent forehands.

3rd Set was when both players were very tired, breaking each other on 2 occasions each to make it 2-2, then finally I managed to hold serve for 3-2 then break for 4-2, ONCE AGAIN I thought i would take the match. Sh0 Then broke back for 4-3 and held for 4-4. Then we both held serve rather comfortably to make it 5-5. My heart then sank when Sh0 broke me for 6-5 and with him serving for the match, I was expecting defeat. To my surprise I broke comfortably for 6-6. The tie-break was here, to make it short, i took a 6-2 lead in the tie break, expecting to take one of my four match points and ONCE AGAIN Sh0 pulled out the craziest forehands, and saved all 4 match points. I made it 7-6 and he saved another match point. I made it 8-7 and he saved another match point. 8-8 in the tie break is a MUST WATCH POINT, just to see the most epic winner ever. After that shot it was normal and i took the tie-break 11-9.

The match was immense, 1hour 28minutes long. If you watch anything, make it be the 3rd set tie break, or the way Sh0 played when down in every set. Keep in mind how easy it is to use Nadal and how hard it is to use Federer. But that in the right hands Federer is near unstoppable.

It would be nice to those who view to drop a quick post in the forum about what they thought of what they saw, i hate that my videos get views in the topics but no one says anything

If i had to play such rallies to win every point i prefer to kill myself

[San99]

watched the last 10 minutes of the match.

Interesting that Nadal went to the net much more often, even though he has a much lower volley stat and Federer is a passing sniper. But i think that's just due to the playing style of Fifa Tee. I like that.

What i also liked is the part where it got a bit emotional amusing..

You and Sh0case have now a lot of experience playing against each other. How are the pro matches different from the regular matches? Are they faster, more exiciting, unbalanced, boring...etc?? Do you two like the pro tour ?

[Gotenkssan]

Another great match from the best players.
That "mystical reach swings expert lob" in the last tiebreak granted you the victory Tee. And its very impressive to see how effective Federer can be in this game.
Thanks for the upload.

Very nice guys. You both play a very good and realistic way of this game. Fifa your volley's are awesome. So hard to execute like that with your low volley stat. Specially when your player makes that reach swing. I can only do this when I play my best. This vid definetely gave me motivation to get even better. i like what I saw here I'm gonna try pro tour again to. It's definetely no short cross contest, I'm confident I can trouble you guys Hope you both stay on ps3 tour. Be prepared

Btw sh0Case why did you give the point to fifa at your ds at 10.36? :S It was a totally realistic ds very strange decision man. Also crucial because of that moment you lost your pace.

[Sh0Case]

I've always preferred playing with the pros, I only started using created players when I joined ITST. I find the rallies to be better, no sense of extreme power and there are less wrong foots. Most of the pros have weak serves so that's an aspect I don't like.

Without net rushing, it's very difficult to come to the net against Fifa Tee when he's Nadal for obvious reasons, I was always fearing the shot that he produced to pretty much win the 3rd set Tie-break.
Reach Swings makes Nadal good at the net and as I've said Fifa Tee has the best net skills I've seen. I don't think I used passing shot snip as effectively as I should have.

[DennieFR1908]

sh0 or fifa you like to play a set now?

At the time I felt like it wasn't realistic at all, as I was expecting to stretch and therefore do a drop volley and I thought I was in a wider position.. After watching it just now, I wasn't dragged off the court before I hit it when I thought I was. Fifa Tee said the same thing you're saying as soon as I moved off the court, it was a key moment in hindsight as 30-0 6-5 would be a big opportunity to win.

[DennieFR1908]

Yes my point exactly. If you continued playing there would be a good chance the match would end different. Anyway epic match.

[C4iLL]

The winner point at 8-8 wasn't possible with the previous update, it would have gone fault as in real life.

I don't know if it's me, but I have the feeling you play with really reactive screen. You play with LCD ? and if yes, which one ?

[DennieFR1908]

@cahil

I've given that shot alot so it's surely possible sorry. it's about how pure you hit the ball. maybe you don't know as much of the game as you might think..

[Ali-Iqb93]

I ve been able to hit craziest angles ever in recent days.. Sh0 and FIFA are right.. All depends on your timings n position.. But the only difference between us and sh0 n fifa are that they can constantly hit perfect times shots by positioning thier player perfectly and guys like me n Dennie are not consistent with those shots.. We might hit such crazy angles like 1out of 10 times but not constantly like sh0 n FIFA because they have mastered this game.. So we should try to find a way to improve our own game rather than keep accusing others of unfair play cuz I see nothing wrong about sh0 n fifa. But playing them in the recent days have motivated Me even more and I have started to enjoy this game even more than before

[C4iLL]

I'm not accusing them of anything here : I just said that the shot at 8-8, played in end of course, would have been a fault before the last update (as in reality). That's all ^^

And when I ask them to talk about their tv-screens, it's just a question, because their characters look more reactive than mine when I use Nadal/Fed myself.

[Sh0Case]

I have a Samsung HD LCD TV.
