Andynator7,
I prefer avoiding text-heavy stuff, to ease the localization of the game in other languages...
And I already know what I'm going to put there : weaknesses (and maybe strong points) so people will see that Focus needs to the raised with the Speed & Muscle Tone, and other stuff like that.

Fed1,
it's already possible to change the outfit of the players during the World Tour. It's for the Modders, but it's very long to create each outfit, so it won't be used before a while, I guess...

Hi Manu,
The easiest way I found to change outfits for a single match/warm up in TE2013 is to copy the outfit code from the ATP.ini file of the mod, my suggestion is to be able to load that code directly in the game, this way I wouldn't have to go back to the desktop to copy the code. I understand that the outfit changes in the World Tour, but what if I want to change it only for a single friendly match? I'm guessing that importing the player from the database will have different outfits for each year, but currently we can only pick the year so that would mean only one outfit per year, Right? Would it be possible to load the player from an specific week of that year? Or from an outfit code?

Some suggestions for new gameplay elements:
1. A modifier button to hit deep shots
2. Modifier buttons Side spin control(if side spin is increased in future)
3. Making volleying difficult or passing shots easier(especially in the specific case where we hit a fast shot and the opponent just has to guess the side correctly to hit a volley winner)

Hi manu,

One thing that can be a little frustrating sometimes is that the game doesn't remember your service position. If you use a serve position that is different than the default, everytime you start a new match in the world tour, or if you leave and later resume a match, you have to move to it again. Could there be a way for the service position on each side to be saved to the profile, or just have the game remember what you did in the last match?

Hi Manu

First of all, I love TE4.
My suggestion is about the simulated time match. Is it possible to increase it. I often have sets very short, like a 6/2 in 20-25 minutes which is very rare in reality.
It's like the time between 1st and 2nd serve (usually 5 sec in reality) and between points (around 20-25 in reality) is less in the game.

I know that is just pure detail but I keep focus on it every time I play

The return too.

I agree. The average tennis match is about 90 min with three set matches lasting up to 2 hours on average.

Would be cool if u could add a music player function where we can import music tracks locally from our systems.

[Ghanaboy]

I’m suggesting dynamic lighting to be added where the sun shifts as the game goes on or even u could start with the sun up and the game enters the night. Hope u consider this in future

Hello Manu. first, i love your work. I suggest that the courts, in different parts of the world, were differentiated in terms of humidity, altitude, and floor porosity (in the case of synthetic floors). For example, by assigning high, medium, and low humidity values, you distribute greater "air resistance" from higher to lower humidity and, consequently, lower velocity to higher ball velocity. Likewise the altitude, the higher the altitude, the greater the speed of the ball. As for the porosity of the floor, the more porous the floor, the greater the bounce of the ball, and so on.

[manutoo]

Fernando Pereira Lima,
when watching tennis matches, it's not noticeable, so it'd not be apparent in the game either. Technically, it would be complicated to implement, because many things are precalculated based on a constant air resistance.
For the bounce, it's possible to do something like that by Modding though.

- Mod download, installation & sharing from within the game

This is the most important thing for the console release! Otherwise we wont have the ability to install mods on consoles!!! Please include it in the future!

Hello Manu,
I suggest 2 things that could be cool:
- Make the kids near the net move and make them pick up the ball when it touches the net and bounces.
- Adding put a short replay when there is any doubt that the ball is outside or on the line.

A touch of realism will be added if players let go of the "waiting stance" after the point is over. Very weird the point being over after a winner or someting and players look like they're waiting for the serve on a completely odd position. So if the point ios over, players should just walk or stand more neutrally.

Hello Manu. Congratulations for your work! I would like to suggest some AI polishing of the more aggressive player styles, particularly the serve and volley style. These styles, as they tend to go up to the net more frequently, execute the approach in a hasty way in some moments and seem not to play the ball on the parallel climb more often than the cross climb. Another difficulty for the AI ​​is when they are in the progression of climbing the net and receive a ball at their feet, or even a ball that drops before the players are positioned. In this case the players seem to have a tendency to dust the ball, hitting it without much refinement or technique.
