How do you change strikes in Tour mode??? I don't like the serve I have but can't change it.

@Everybody :
So the new strikes are from :
- Service ( Style = 1/2) => Sampras
- Forehand ( Style = 2/2) & Backhand ( Style = 2/2) => Federer
- 2-handed Backhand ( Style = 2/2) => Nadal (but it was made from 2 strikes during warmup)

I think the 2H-BH is the most well made anim coz it's the most fluid one, I'm pretty happy with the result, the other ones are correct as well, but not perfect, it's quite hard to reach a great result actually...
But I'm quite happy to see u like them..!


@Santiago92 :
1/2 & 2/2 are the Style numbers in the Outfit Configuration screen, when u select the strike Styles.


@that_dood :
use the "devmode = 1" in the Tennis.ini to change your strike styles in the World Tour without having to start a new game.

I like the new strokes! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The two handed backhand is my favorite, very fluid and real looking. You did such a good job seriously.

Would you ever add any womens strokes like Venus' backhand or something?

[manutoo]

The next strikes I have in mind are from men, but maybe I'll do some women one day as well...

[that_dood]

How about the backhand smash??? For a right handed player if the lob over your head is on the backhand side I usually make an error on the smash. I reckon you should be able to cross-court backhand smash.

Ditto to the backhand smash

Backhand smash would be epic. And also, if possible, a 2 handed slice to re-create Santoro.

[RichardGasquet]

a different backhand wich manu can put is richard gasquet's backhand..

it's really beautiful to see and is an unusual swing so i think it will be interisting...and backhand smach too

So from what real player(s) are inspired the new strike styles in TE2009 v1.0c ..?
New Strikes :
- 1H-Forehand 3 & 4
- Service : 3

[X-Ter]

Forehand 4 and Serve 3 are Nadal!

[btaylor]

Forehand #3, maybe Djokovic?

Looks like maybe you tweaked Sampras' serve a tad bit...perhaps slowed down the back-swing a bit...good!
Could still pronate the racquet face, wrist and forearm a l'il bit more to the right (for right-handers, left for left-handers)...as we discussed earlier, after the last build...
If you still have it, check out Sampras' serve video (or any pro's serve, for that matter, during and just after the ball strike...)

I agree that forehand#4 and serve#3 are Rafa's

GRRREAT JOB, MANU!!!

p.s. Don't forget to put some of your latest animes on youtube, as they've improved immeasurably from the first ones

[kyuuji]

Forehand 3 and 4 looks the same, but when finishing it's different, so this might be Nadal the 3 and 4.

[manutoo]

Yup, kyuuji won, all new strikes are from Nadal..!

As I were doing Nadal's FH, I noticed he could finish it either overhead or normally, so I did both, as it was quite fast to do...
