If I'm wrong lemme know
You know, something like that would be better than the current way IMO...it seems now, if you have less precision, your shots just randomly start flying everywhere...that is just not fun and kinda pointless. I understand that in real tennis lot of errors are hit but this isn't real tennis and having more errors occur just for the sake of it is a wrong way to go...you should always have control over your player Imo...
I think if you have less precision, it shouldn't result in random errors, but rather it would be harder to hit near the lines. Now couldn't this be achieved by for example altering the sensitivity of the direction keys, and thus requiring a lot of timing skill in order to hit near the lines? If you aren't careful, your shot goes wide. Having more precision makes the timing easier and you are able to hit more accurately.
I'm not a game designer so I don't know if that would work but to me something like that sounds better than random errors...
Also, I guess I would have hoped to see the player statistics have more meaning and variety, so that when playing online for example you could see players using different styles of play, that you can choose...I know there was something like this in TE 2006 but I was hoping it was developed further in 2008 version...for example the volleyer style was way overpowered. It would be nice to see power hitters, finesse players...etc. Each style would have their pros and cons. Power hitters can hit faster but with less precision for example, whereas finesse players hit softer but more accurate, near the lines. Etc etc etc.
Now excuse me while I wake up from dreaming...lol
