Bought this game a few weeks ago. Looking through these forums it's apparently quite a feature rich game.
I created a player, got my butt kicked, did training, am finally good enough to enjoy it. Still, it's a bit confusing.
Questions:
1) I save my player to training. Why can I change his settings there and they're not reflected in matches? I can change every setting, from forehand to lob, to 100%. Why isn't his actual levels displayed in training at all times?
2) So I get points to for winning or losing and by training. These often don't show up right away. Seems like I have to quit the program to see them. What am I doing wrong?
3) Also, seems like all points earned on basically applied to getting back the levels I've lost. Very hard to get ahead. Do I have to practice a lot and built them up?
4) Is there a single page somewhere that explains how to modify it so I can just play at a certain level all the time?
5) How can I ever change my status (I set myself up as pro in the beginning but see no way to ever change it)?
6) I'd like to practice certain things in training, like overheads. Is there nothing like that, a focused option on certain shots?
7) What are profiles? It appears a profile can have multiple players so I'm missing it's purpose.
8) Does creating a new player always start at the bottom? I created me as a player and decided to create another one and play Sampras but it starts out just like a newbie.
9) The menu interface is a bit messy. All this back and forth, etc could be streamlined I think.
Thanks for any help. Fun game and I'm enjoying it but currently kinda stuck at this one level.
