Some game suggestions/ideas

Postby Adi » 01 Feb 2006, 02:13

Hey,

nice game. I really appreciate gaming Tennis Elbow. Now, here are some suggestions I thought about:

A "record book" that holds some cool records like
...highest number of aces during a match or a tournament
...highest number of winners during a match or a tournament
...highest number of rallies (passages de balle) for a point
...highest serving speed
...closest match (i.e. maximum total games)
...maximum duration in seconds of a point, set or a match
...best 1st service percentage
...and so on!

Of course these records have to be stored for each match-length separately (1set, 3set and 5set matches). And there should be a name associated with each record (I suggest to put the player-name, maybe followed by the profile name).

What do you think about this idea?


And then there is just another suggestion: Couldn't you show some more in-game informations? I mean, we can see the speed of the service, the points and sets, the match time and whether it was a fault, a first or a second service. Now I think about a display that fades in at the bottom of the screen occasionally holding some further information like
...serving for set
...serving for match
...match point
...set point
...two break balls

Perhaps it would be interesting to show some statistical information during the game (of course not every time) like
...number of winners by "player 1"
...number of unforced errors by "player 1"
...number of aces by "player 1"
...percentage of first services
...and so on!

Well, "player 1" could be replaced with the name of the player.


Again, this is a great game. My thanks go to managames!

Best regards
Adi

I'm glad to hear that you think it's a good idea. There is something I have forgotten:

For each record, the timestamp should also be stored! And a new record could perhaps showed as in-game information. Maybe right after the point that generated the record. I mean, not before the next service - just after the point was won.

Best
