Guessing is OP

Postby KINGBARBOZA » 12 Jun 2023, 04:40

Hi Manutoo,

I think it's way too easy to guess and return an accel shot deep during rallies. I was watching an online match and so many of the rallies were where one player got a short ball and blasted an accel, the opponent guessed the right direction and could return the ball back deep with ease completely repeatedly resetting the point, regardless that it was a full power accels. If you guess the right direction, it is way too easy to return the ball regardless of the quality of the shot, resulting in a bunch of ping-pong points and excessively long rallies. One player even had to start hitting winners down the middle, cause of how easily the other player could return a full power shot and completely reset the point if they guessed the right direction. The issue stems from the lack of a timing mechanic probably, as if u guess the right direction and end up in a somewhat decent position, all u have to do is hold normal shot to completely reset the point without any difficulty/skill.

Cheers.

Manu...I would say that returning serve if you get your racket on the ball is OP. I have talked about how there are too few players who serve 200+km. But even those who do, I can return acceleration shot and put serve on heels (or hit return winners) most of the time. With the big servers, unless you have top attributes, the returner should be only able to block back (blocking animation) the first serves.
