Build 63, November 26th:

New Features:
- Gameplay : Elite Controls in addition to Simulation/Arcade Controls ; it makes the game significantly harder, thus it should lead to more errors ; against CPU, setting this for your Player will set it also for the CPU player ; this is experimental, so you're very welcome to give some feedback about it
- Mod : can force the sun to be always in the back of the camera, whichever side it stands ; in Tennis.ini , look for "ForceSunInBack" in the [Camera] Section

Changes:
- Gameplay : when prepared early, slice is longer, especially with low topspin skill
- Animation : now the players always turn around when lobbed, instead of walking backward (*)

Bug Fixes:
- World Tour : on weeks with a forced tournament for high ranked players, you couldn't play at all in any tournament if you were low ranked

Note:
(*) Always turning around on lob sometimes looks strange especially when you just have to run 1 or 2m back, but it's hard for the game to predict when you'll catch the ball, because it depends of your reflexes & your controls
