New Features :
- New Strike Styles : 1 Service, 1 Forehand (you're welcome to guess from what real player(s) they are inspired of in this topic : topic15-2209.php?start=30#p41088 )
- Sound : many new sounds for the crowd..!
Changes :
- Gameplay : Fast Deceleration lowered ; ie: you need a bit more time to stop to run ; it's closer of real life, but still a bit faster than real life to stop to run
- Gameplay : Percentage of B1+B2 & B1 serves in slightly lowered when having the Service Consistency above the Service Power ; this should noticeably raises the number of double faults for people not using the Button 2 to do their 2nd serve
- Gameplay : Counter style slightly enhanced ; he can now take the ball significantly earlier than other styles without much handicap
- Gameplay : Kicked serve is a bit shorter
- Gameplay : Ball difficulty raised when very short time to prepare a volley
- Gameplay : Drop Shot harder to do when moving
- Gameplay : Top Spin lowered when striking on the run
- Gameplay : Auto-Positioning speed raised when smashing
- Gameplay : Short Strike is too long on difficult balls, instead of becoming a strange drop shot
- Gameplay : initial speed after serve lowered, making it a little bit more hard to serve-volley
- AI : CPU will do a tiny bit more long faults and a tiny bit less wide faults
- Animation : smoothed animation when still running at the end of a strike
- Animation : Backhand slice tuned
- Online : "Lag" has been renamed to "Delay" to avoid further confusion with the common use of "lag" word in the forum
- Online : AntiDelay updated, it nows raises the Fast Deceleration so you need less time to stop to run when the Delay is high, which partly compensates for it
- Online : Max Delay raised to 200ms (from 117ms) allowing to play with 400ms ping with minimal lag ; above 117ms of Delay, the game slows down a bit, up to ~20% with a 200ms Delay to give you a bit more time to react ; also, with 200ms Delay, this is pretty hard to volley, so the default Max Ping on Host creation is still 250ms ; if you want to change it, you have to activate the "Advanced Options" in the "Misc Menu"
Bug Fixes:
- World Tour : very tall players (above 205cm) can now serve correctly
- Animation : Head shouldn't look in the back anymore (not sure if the exorcism worked well or not, though

Important Note :
Post in this topic only if it's related to the latest new version, ie only for these 2 cases :
- about a point listed in the New Features / Changes / Bug Fixes
- about a bug that you are sure didn't happen in the previous version but happens in the new one (else, post in the "Bug Report" forum)
Do not write about anything else, else I may delete your post without any prior warning (or at very least, I won't answer it) ; if you're not sure your topic is related or not to the latest version, just create a new topic in the forum, it'll be fine...
Also on a side note, don't send me PM ( = Private Message) except for Private thing. Everything that can be read by everybody should be pointed out / asked in the forum, so my comments & answers could also be read by everybody, and hopefully, I won't have to write them again when someone else will have the same comments / questions...
