I've gotten some questions from other forum members about the settings I use so here they are:
H
I play with the following values in tennis.ini:
Elite Controls, first and foremost. No previews, average auto-positioning. Slow auto-positioning is too difficult for me, but if you can handle it then this would probably be more realistic.
SweetspotScale 0.08 (default is 0.05). While watching cpu versus cpu I set it to 3.0 but it's too difficult to play with, for me at least. But you can put it as high as you want, until it becomes too difficult to hit the ball cleanly. The cpu can hit the sweetspot much better than the player so that's why in cpu versus cpu you can have it higher. But ManuToo will have to make some changes here if it is to be completely realistic, say one scale for the player and another for the cpu. Raising this value will create more errors and "weak replies", both from you and the cpu.
SpeedConversion 0.2 or 0.25. This will make reversing your (and the cpu's) movement from left and right and vice versa more realistic.
AIslowerReturner at 0.08 (if you play at pro10). I set it down to 0.06 because I play at pro1 and at that difficulty there will too many aces.
Set MtRun to 1 and then further down change the values for both player and AI to 0.85. This will slow down the running speed of both you and the player by 15%, making it more realistic.
I reduce the ground stroke power values in the PlayersATP.ini file to about half for every player I come across. THis usually then produce power settings in the cpu player's characteristics screen to about 50-70% depeniding on their original value.
That's about what you can do as the game is today. Maybe ManuToo will tweak it more in the future.
Make no mistake, the game will be more difficult to play this way, but have fun playing!
