Player morphology

Postby Dee1 » Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:16

Which morphology for your player do you use and how does it impact the game?
Do you use tall or small players? Slim or athletic?
Length I assume is good for serve and volley, slim player maybe are faster. Athletic for power?
What are your experiences and opinions regarding this?
I don't know how to model my players depending on the playstyle.

Cheers

As a defence baseliner i always use small players(170-175cm) (with normal body build). With small players you can change your direction faster as with tall players. So the response time is shorter and gives you a huge advantage against control angel shots. They are also a little bit faster...

The disadvanates are the shorter reach and serve...but thats ok for me :)

Ok, thanks. If I want an even faster player I can make him slim or does this have any disadvantages?

In what situations do you use an athletic player?

I've personally never noticed any difference whatsoever. In TS3 there was a slight advantage in reach and that may apply here as well but I've never seen anything else.

The physic has a importance in TS4. At the volley, if you play with a taller guy, he will catch volley that can't be catched with a small guy on both sides.

On lobs i'm not sure, but on the right and left side i'm pretty sure of that.

At the service, a taller guy also changes the timing.

No I don't use bickham. I don't volley consistently enough to make those skills worth it.
