Hi,

Apologies if I've missing something simple here, but I have a couple of questions about the Statistics screen during a match for CPU players.

1) I understand how Form of the Day works, in that it can slightly slower or raise a CPU player's level for that specific match, with the likelihood of it happening determined by the Concentration skill and how much it affects the player controlled by the Constancy skill. But on the match Statistics screen, there is a separate value just called Form, listed under the shot skills, which generally seems to be somewhere between 50-90%. How is this determined and what effect does it have? I'm guessing it has something to do with energy, as it's listed beside another value in metres, which I'm assuming is distance covered by the player.

2) I had a CPU vs CPU match where a CPU player had Form of the Day 100% and Form 80%. He won the first set 6-2, but then his level dropped, his shot skill percentages on the Statistics screen dropped by a few points and he lost the next two sets quite easily. So, when Form of the Day is 100%, what other factors can cause a sudden drop in level? (if it helps, the player's mind skills are as follows: Concentration 86, Focus 75, Cold Blood 89, Constancy 85, Tactics 33)

1) Form = (Speed + Muscle Tone + Stamina) / 3 (I just renamed it to Fitness for the next update, for clarity)

2) The performance can evolve randomly over the course of a match. It can have one thing though : if his opponent was playing it cool in the 1st set because he thought that player was weak and then lost the 1st set, then he switched to full performance mode on the 2nd set, making the other player less efficient by playing himself better.

That makes sense, thank you!

Also, I sometimes see Energy Spending listed on that screen, with a percentage beside it. I'm assuming that happens when a player is playing a weaker opponent and plays below their top level to conserve energy?

That's correct.
