Hi Manu, I hope the moral is good! When I play the game, I often think that the defensive lob should go with a slice animation. On a real court, defensive lobs are often made with that slice movement, when you need to control a fast ball or when you are pressed, and you need to slow the pace. Plus it would distinct better this lob from the offensive one: you often hit those lobs with a spin when you want to attack a player who charged the net (so the current animations in the game feel right for offensive lobs).
Maybe the defensive lob should also go with a slower rebound?
Do you think that would be a good idea? Could it be implemented?
