Hi Manu,

I had some gameplay tuning suggestions that I thought I might suggest. One thing I've noticed using players that have very high topspin skill is that they run out of stamina extremely quickly. It makes sense that hitting with more spin is tiring, but its almost impossible to play with a spinny clay-court specialist because the rallies last a long time and the player runs out of energy in the first game. This is the entire point of the top-spin-heavy playstyle on clay, so it seems like maybe the tiredness from spin needs to be lowered.

The other thing that I was wondering about was the use of talents in season mode. If you pick a player to play for a season there is no way to add any special talents, even though many of the players you can select should have some. You are able to change the skills of a player at the beginning of season mode, so maybe you should be able to change the talents as well. Maybe you could give a number of talents based on the difficulty the season is started with (in the same way as experience points).

Thanks!

Hello,

1) The extra fatigue on each strike from the topspin is relatively small, so if they get tired it's mostly because of longer rallies. On what difficulty level did you play ? The next time it happens, could you send me a Bug Report right at the end on the match, when the stats are shown..? (HowTo => topic5-31732.php )

2) I'll try to change that someday; if you want & have the time, you can give me the talent lists you'd like to see for different players, and I'll put them in the official player base.

I usually play on incredible 1 so maybe that has to do with the tiredness? I usually play sets of first to 2 games, and in a best of three of clay the player is exhausted by the end. And I will think about the talents of different players and send some over!

I checked and likely found the issue : the energy scaling when playing less than 6 games per set was still the one from TE2013, when the Short Term Form didn't exist ; it was lowering the Energy restorationrate . I changed that for the next build to increase the lowering rate of the Short Term Form, which is closer to the new system spirit.
