I get the most aces with my defensive player. the easiest way is to use the risk serve. My favorite ace is the one that hits the guy in the chest.
i was referring to the third star... the last hour i spent unsuccessfully trying to get the 4th star... i want to make this guy 4-4-4-2... my last guy was Defensive: 2-5-4-3, power, passing, precision, (no 4th yet) and i think that guy was weak... i think my mistake was giving 3 volley stars to a guy who was created as Defensive. maybe should have gone 2-5-5-2. any thougts?
Yeah, the risk serve is for the best way to get an ace... and every once in a while you can get a perfect spoon serve to drop in there if they are backed way up. Make sure you have some variety in where you aim the serve (left and right corners) as well as where you are serving from (middle, side, etc).
any tips on the 4-star challenge? (serving) i can get the 2 spots in the corners (T and line) easily - but the one that's mid-way in the service box (down the line) is a killer! i've gotten 11-out-of-12 twice or three times, so i'm close. i've been using all power serves...
I've done that (as well as risk shoots and spoon serves) and it honestly hasn't seemed to matter much. The other guy generally can return it.
What I have noticed is MOST players online are at Risk against one specific serve, just by the way they play, and the trick is to play to their strength as well, and not go for the weakness everytime. A lot of guys I have played on Live I break them at love and win my serve -30 or 15 or from duece. Sometime's you have to give up points for strategy's sake, and occasionally you have to give up the game.
give up points/game? Is this chess? I play real tennis and am pretty good at topspin, but never thought of intentially giving up points. Only thing close to that that I can think of is 'trying' for a risk shot or something off a serve to set up a drop shot on the next one or something, but I am not intentially giving it up, b/c I still want to hit the risk shot in.
