My HUM player has over 95 power, precision and consistency but I rarely get aces against CPU. Anyone have tips on how to get aces?

Hello,

what is the CPU level ?

[knich]

Pro 10

Following up on this. I cannot serve Aces and not really sure why I cannot hit lines. I had not problem doing this in TE2013.

Sorry, I forgot to answer you.

You should definitively be able to ace the Pro-10 if you have 90%+ in your service skills.

Do not release left/right before hitting the ball, or else you'll lose a lot of precision (plus your aiming won't work the same when playing online).

Your goal is to put the ball on the line, or very near from it.

Try to use Training Club -> Service Training till you get the ball on the line regularly. The best is to find a visual clue on your serve animation. Some animations might be much better than others for that. (eg: for the #2, IIRC, you have to start to aim left/right when the ball leaves your player's hand)

Yeah I've tried everything. Nothing is working. With 90+ skills it shouldn't be that hard to serve aces. There are some matches where I serve less than 3 aces, while the CPU with lower skill aces me.

Again I routinely served aces at that skill level with TE2013 as much as 20+ aces in a match. Really not sure what you changed? CPU returns almost everything. It makes very few errors on return of serve.

Also I don't think the Boom Boom and Clutch Server traits work that well. I rarely see difference in my server power or accuracy on break points.

Compared to TE2013, the players are slower in TE4, but they have a 40cm extra reach coz they can bend now. Overall, it shouldn't be too different, although the average serve speed might be a bit lower.

If you just want to do more aces, then change in your Tennis.ini, under [Game] : (HowTo => topic19-32161.php )
AiSlowerReturner = 0
to :
AiSlowerReturner = 0.05
or even more, to make the CPU less good on return of serve.

[knich]

Great...if I wanted CPU serve speed to be faster would I put in a negative value? For example: -0.05?

[manutoo]

If you want faster serves, you use :
AiSlowerServer = -5
to gain 5% speed in average.

I envy you, I served exactly 1 ace in almost 100 matches.
