I know that with TE2006 backspin was not possible. Will it be possible with TE2009? When I have played the CPU player, I have seen her execute a forehand slice, with the racket going from above her shoulder, down, and across to the other side. The ball is returned to me similar to a safe strike, and after it bounces, it continues going along the same path as before.
In real tennis, the backspin shot is one that I struggle to return if I don't see the shot execution well (so that I would expect this shot). It is hard when the ball is coming toward you, it bounces, and then it goes basically straight up, but not horizontally toward you any more. If you aren't careful, you won't have enough time to run to the ball and strike it well.
This is the only shot that I am missing in TE2009. On the other hand, maybe there aren't any key combinations left to create this with (?). What do you others think about this topic?
