What's with not being able to hit hard shots after awhile?

I love the game, really it and NSS3 are the best shareware sports games out there at the moment, so jolly well done.

Anyway, how come after a while of hitting the "acceleration" shot (buttons 1+2 together - or button "3" in my case) you stop being able to hit powerful shots? I get maybe your player is tired but your opponent is never affected! About 10 shots down the rally instead of whacking it back at a high velocity, your player hits a looping very slow and short ball. This ruins long rallies, as you can't hit winners with either button 1 or button 2.

Please explain why you have this!
Thanks.

Hello,

so 1st, the CPU players have the same limitation rules about their number of accelerations than you.
To see detail of theses rules, have a look here :

The main thing to do long rally is to not waste acceleration when you can't hit a winner. Instead, it's better to use the lift.
And if you run out of acceleration, then you have 2 options left:
- run to volley
- use the short shot (button 1 + up), after a couple of lifted strikes (button 1 + down) (best against defenders, average against puncher, and not really efficient against varied and volleyers, except if they have a low form skill)

More tips here:

I hope it'll help.
