Hi!

After couple of weeks playing TE4, I really love the game, but I have few questions concerning gameplay.

1. Currently playing on Junior 8, and majority of matches in M25 tournaments are pretty tight. I started with new young player, and my stats are pretty low, except Forehand and backhand power at around 65, serve too, and speed at 80.
But my player is still very slow. He needs ages to start running in full speed. What stat I need to improve so he could accelerate normally? Is it muscle tone or something else?

2. I played versus a AI player that had stamina at 20 or so, and after few shots his Breath was already on absolute minimum or completely depleted even on few longer rallies. Even though it's completely depleted, he won couple of rallies by hitting the ball with acceleration. And I know that I have read somewhere that acceleration shot can't be hit if there is no Breath, as it is using it. So what is the logic behind Breath? I noticed that AI even didn't ran slower or anything with Breath bar completely depleted. Is it a bug or a feature?

3. How Stress affect AI player? I didn't noticed anything obvious, like AI is making more mistakes with the Stress bumped up. MAybe on few occasions AI was playing more inconsistently, but I can't confirm that.

4. I usually select to play tournaments every 2 to 4 weeks in world tour, as I thought my player will have more time for training. But if I lose second match in qualifying, the player will earn like 14 to 20 experience points, and it will have only 4 days/10 hours for training, no matter I selected next tournament to be in 3 to 4 weeks. Worst of all, those points will be only enough to re-train lost points. I even selected skill decay rate to be at 50%, and even with that it is a really slow progress, unless I win almost every tournament. So, what is the logic of training? How does it work?

5. How to get Acceleration Trait? What skill stat I need to improve to be able to apply one of the acceleration traits to my player?

Thanks!

Hello,

1) You need both Speed & Muscle Tone to start to move quickly. If your real-life reflexes are low, activating the Footwork Booster in your Character Sheet is recommended.

2) Low Breath will make the player run a bit slower and hit a bit less strong ; he also notificable loses precision, so he might sometimes send the ball closer to the lines than he wanted ; and he can still do Accelerations. So he still can play tennis and you still have to win the point, but it should be a bit easier when his Breath is low.

3) Stress makes most of the skills go down a bit ; again, it doesn't make your opponent cannot play tennis anymore, but it should be a bit easier to handle him when he's highly stressed and he should do a bit more faults.

4) You should play a tournament every week as long as you're in qualifying or lose in the 2nd round of the main draw (without qualifying 1st). A bit more info : https://www.managames.com/tennis/doc/Te ... l#training .

5) You can select it on player creation at the start of your career ; to change it now, activate the DevMode. (HowTo => topic19-32161.php )
