Mana Games

[Santiago92]

Manu, I played doubles with Llodra against Stepanek and Silvio Moine, and I saw Stepanek has very low skills. I think his service and volley skills are not 50%, there are at 80%, and other skills are also better.

Also I see a lot of players who played in ATP but not in this period of time, for example Silvio Moine, Dan Goldberg, Shane Barr, Harald Mair, etc. Could you delete these players?

Once and (hopefully) for all :
- the years 2009 and after are fictional
- all poorly ranked players are fictional but use name from real players ( => never ranked better than #120 in their career)

Manu, how can I add Daniel Koellerer to my database? Will I have problems with my saved games?

[manutoo]

You have 2 ways :
1- just add a new player at the end of your player database ; in this case, u'd lose your current saved games
2- locate in the database a poorly ranked player whose career start & end years match the ones of Daniel Koellerer, and then transform this poor player to match your wanted player

Does it mean I should change the name of a player, his skills and birthplace?

[manutoo]

Yes, u just have to keep the same StartYear, and the same number of RankPerYear (but for each year, u can change the rank).

how come in every new update we keep getting Anna Ivonavich (SRB)!? who is this??

[manutoo]

coz I prefer to avoid some trouble...

Manu, how can I change the number of sets in Masters Series finals? I usually play at best of 3 sets, but when I don't play the final matches are played at best of 5. If I do the change, will I have problems with my saved games?

And if I change Masters Series by Masters 1000, International Series by ATP 250 and change the points of every tournament, will I have problems?

You can change the numbers of set for urself before each match by clicking on the "number of sets" icon.

You can change all other things in the database. Main things u can't change are the number of players in the draw, number of sets, and the number of rounds.

Yes, I mean can I change the number of sets in a Masters Series final when I don't play?

Brie Whitehead won Roland Garros in 2010.

I know it's an uplifting story putting the ultimate bagel girl in the top 20 from 2010-15, but realism is suffering!

[manutoo]

Santiago92, no you cannot change that without having to start a new game.

Leena, in 2006, the game engine predicted Andy Murray would be n°1 some day and so far it is almost right, so I'm sure someday u'll have some surprise IRL about Brie..!
