/!\ Updating: when you update to a newer version, you have to transfer the "Profiles" subfolder from your previous TE2009's directory to the new installation folder to keep your saved games.
New Features :
- New Strike Styles : 1 Service, 1 Forehand, 1 Backhand & 1 Two-Handed Backhand (you're welcome to guess from what real players they are inspired of in this topic : topic15-2209.php )
- Stat : number of strikes counter (activated within the In-Game Options menu)
- Stat : simulated match time (activated within the In-Game Options menu) ; it counts the time needed for everybody to reposition before each serve, and the rest time every 2 games
- World Tour : in Davis Cup matches, replaced the names of the players by their country on the scoreboard
Changes :
- Change of Side : F2 key now instantly swaps the camera side
- Physics : Twisted Kicked Serve ( = up & down during the serve preparation) 's bounce direction changed ; this applied to Nadal Shot's bounce as well
- World Tour : many women got their two-handed backhand back..! (thanks to jenks10s for the provided list
)- Gameplay : tuned the original FH, BH & 2H-BH strike animations ; now, all strikes have a bit more wingspan
- Gameplay : lowered the max running speed from 30 km/h to 29 km/h to compensate the increased wingspan of strikes ; for long run, this effect is bigger than the increased wingspan, so now, it'll be slightly harder to defend
- Gameplay : slightly lowered the running acceleration bonus for small players ; this should make it more fair for taller players
- Gameplay : can't charge effect (topspin or slice) before to move & then move and strike the ball anymore
- Gameplay : Short Strike Speed raised, especially when Precision is above the Power ; use 100% Precision with 80% Power for best result
- Gameplay : Short Acceleration Speed raised when Precision is above the Power ; use 100% Precision with 80% Power for best result
- Gameplay : Acceleration Speed bonus when ball is high isn't applied anymore if the ball is raising, except if it's a very slow ball
- Gameplay : Nadal Shot length lowered a bit, to avoid to do too much length faults
- Gameplay : Normal strike speed lowered when hitting the ball off center
Bug Fixes :
- Gesture : shouldn't run all around anymore when doing a gesture
- Controllers : Gamepad / Joystick's Hats are now correctly handled and can be played with (for example: the down lelft pad of the Xbox 360 gamepad is a hat)
- The flying arm which were replacing the racket when the player was wearing glasses has been removed
Notes :
