This is new type of post. Very interesting. First I don't think you're cheesy.
In the second video your opponent uses a control angle shot and forces you to hit the ball in the doubles alley parallel to the service line. Under that circumstance you have no choice but to run straight across to cover the court. You don't have time to run back to the baseline, you really don't have a choice if you want to stay in the point. But if someone uses a control angle(very rare in real tennis) to bring you up there they have no room to complain...none.
The second video is a little more mixed. The auto position in this game allows for easy defense, but it also can force you to take really bad angles to the ball, which gives away points. In that point it happenend. Burna you did a deep cross court control topspin shot. The auto position in the game forced him to go 5 feet behind the baseline to hit the ball. Again he didn't choose to do this the game forced him. On the next shot you stepped into the court and hit to the open court. Then on the next shot you stepped further in and hit to the open court for a winner.
Now the person you were playing in the first video has done the exact same thing to me and won the point in a similar way, as have many, many, many other people. So very few people have room to talk.
When I personally see the in-game auto position force my opponent run 5 feet behind the baseline I just stay at the baseline hit the next shot (or shots) in such a way that they are given time to recover from the game pushing their character 5 feet behind the baseline. I haven't done that everytime but I try to do it most times.
There are many situations where the games auto position forces guys to take really bad angles and the game is to fast to notice them all. But the obvious ones are when you see your opponent run 5 feet behind the baseline from any position. That run 5 feet behind the baseline thing is unique to topspin 4, so if you played another tennis game you would get a real sense of how that person chooses how to move to the ball.
With that said getting your player to not run 5 feet behind the baseline can be done and a few people know how to do it. And it is not against the rules to take advantage when ur opponent gets forced 5 feet behind the baseline.
... but why ?? what did you do so they call you cheesy anyway ??
