What are your thoughts on the game so far?

Postby Hawkeye Miihawk » Mon, 06 May 2024 23:39

First off thank you Cinemartic on discord for helping me retrieve my account :D

I think the game is pretty fun to play so far. Power in particular seems to be too good, while stamina/serve don't seem to do enough.

I have 2 characters so far. A S&Ver and a counterpuncher of sorts

- S&Ver actually feels really fun to play. His only problem is that the power players can power through every shot regardless of positioning and stamina. So even when I think I have them on the run and reaching for the ball, they can hit a blistering winner by me or a really angled 100 MPH shot that puts me in a losing spot. He can't rally for shit and with all the power coming at him even chip and charge your opponent's serve is very difficult :lol: . Overall tho I really like this toon. Serving is a lot easier in this than TS4, and a HUGE problem is that people with 30 srv and 98-100 pow can still serve bombs. The outwide power serve seems to be the go too for World Tour right now. I hope they patch srv/pow/stamina cause those 3 stats really stand out right now. I'm rocking Spin serve master, volley shot artist, and diesel server. I might change this to spectacular volleys and amazing first volley later as I'm still testing what I want.

- Counter puncher. Now I wanted to replicate my all rounder from TS4 but did things a lil bit different. He was an allrounder at first, lol, infact he was an exact replica of my TS4 character but the power game was just too much for him to handle so I respecced. Now he's a bit more heavy on strokes and reflex. Running with Wrong foot expert, crushing passing shot, and inside out master. I actually wanted to use Reach swings expert, approach shot expert, and topspin invasion but you really can't proc reach swings expert on shots cause most points end in outright winners from all the power coming at you. You also can't approach the net either cause everything is just power blasted back at you. So went with wrong foot, inside out, and crushing instead. Super fun build to play as well.

What are you guys thoughs on the game so far? :)

Ran into a streamer on my S&V toon a couple days ago. They had a vod of it so I'll post it here. Made mistakes and could have definitely played better.

Serve and volley play . Net screwed with my timing at the end there :-x

Hi man, Your serve from the right was not allowed in ITST and was considered unfair. I hope that this year too it will be forbidden to serve in that way because the match will be completely ruined

HUH? I was the person playing the serve and volleyer, (Yung_Moolah) the black guy with blue hair. Streamer is the guy you're talking about not me :lol:

:lol: no worries. Yeah hopefully 2k does something about the current serving situation (30 serve and tramline serving).
