"......"...

[MichaelNadal]

I can't stand when people quit if they lose a set or you're about to win the match. WTF?? Why play a GAME....... key word: GAME, if you never want to lose? I played a guy last night we had a tight, LONG first set which he won 4-2, a long second set as well which he broke me early and I broke back and won the set 4-2, and then he quit before the super TB. REALLY? You can't play a 10 point tb?

Send them a kind message venting your displeasure.

I run into these players pretty much every match I play. They'll message me after saying they "lagged out", "had to go", or my favorite "you're a f-ing cheater" lol.

Just played some idiot named "blackjedy07". He broke me in the first game and messaged me with profanities. I started playing for real and then he quit after he couldn't win a point anymore. He blamed the "bad connection" lol.

Yup I'll play!

Just played and won an 87 shot rally!

Has anyone here exceeded that number? My opponent was so distraught afterwards he double faulted twice consecutively hehe.

[PSNELKE]

Honestly this game doesn´t make any fun right now.
There are indeed few dudes forcing lag, but never really bothered me since there are too many of them.
I´m so pissed that every second guy I´m winning against simply quits after being down a set or so.
Yesterday there was some clown (I was leading 6-1 5-0 40-0), who simply quit when I served for it.
This game ain´t fun anymore.

My longest rally I think was 40 something. I get 20's and 30's often though.

Yep, happened to me again my last match. I don't know why they don't want a competitive match it's stupid and silly.

Thanks for the matches! They were a lot of fun!

I was amazed at how well you hit angles and lob! Some of your ground strokes hit impossible angles!

I ALMOST started taking games from you with my S&V though! I need to learn how to hit those serves that pick the lines. I still don't know how!

Give me a shout next time you're on XBL. Haven't played in a while though, might be kinda rusty.

GG! I thought your first created player was much more well-rounded. He could do a lot more damage from the baseline which you could have used to finish off points at the net.

Also, it doesn't really matter how hard or close to the lines you can serve in this game. Good returners can just slice it back deep or angle the return. It's more about mixing up the serve and setting up the next shot. I don't know if you noticed, but all my serves had a purpose: to set up for my next shot. Same with my return. I know you were S&V'ing every time with the other guy, so those short chip returns were only making you volley up, setting up a sitter for me.

I know you play tennis in real life too, right? I sort of strategize my game off how I would play the point in real life. Of course, the video game has a lot less errors lol.

That's the thing. My first guy can really pound from the baseline with his near unlimited stamina. He's a total beast for that, the only problem is that I need to get better at using him to get him to finish off those net points.

I saw that! Even when I was hitting those 135MPH serves, you were able to reflect it down the line. It made it so hard to get to the net! Your plans were evil! No matter what I did, I couldn't get a clean first volley no matter how I served. I just couldn't figure out how to get it without chipping back and hitting a great half volley!

Fun games though! We will for sure have to play again! One of these days I'll get a set off you LOL!

Yeah, I definitely have more fun playing players from here instead of online randoms that quit all the time. Play you again soon

That's how I feel with him lol, I'll have game point, or duece, and just can't seem to win that point.

LOL exactly! I got to ad once, and deuce probably 2-3 times a set, but I only won maybe 3 games the entire time we played. Then the next game he would steam roll me at 40-0!

Not to be an *** or anything, but to be really honest, I always feel I can win the game even if I'm down 0-40. I think I play my best points during those times

LOL! I could tell. I would be up 30-0, and then you'd own the next 4 points!
