How do you "smash" the ball down?

Postby Priodom » 01 Mar 2025, 19:51

Hey! ^^

I know this might be a dumb question, but here goes... I'm not super familiar with all the Tennis terms in English, so I’m not sure what I should be looking for. I'm not very familiar with Tennis in general, but I at least have enough experience playing these types of games that I know how to position/which shot to use etc.

How do you perform the "smash down" move? Specifically on a PlayStation controller?

I’m talking about that move where you smash the ball down really hard after your opponent hits a high ball (like from a lob shot, for example). You know, the one where you can send it flying downwards super fast.

Is there a way to do that in TE4? I thought it was the Drop Shot, but that's the slow, low shot, so that’s not what I mean. Not sure what other button I should be looking for. Is it even possible? The bots seem to be doing it sometimes, unless I'm misreading their moves somehow.

Just to clarify, I’m not asking for gameplay tips (like positioning or anything), just what button(s) to press on the PS controller to make that move happen.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello,

use the Acceleration. You could also try the Short Acceleration to get a better angle, but it's slower.
