Ah makes sense then. If you can win on the incredible levels, you can easily beat a lot of the players on the game. Most people below 1300 only have a serve.

I also have to deal with a lot of lag though. A lot of the time those serves go in if you have bad ping even if you are quick enough to counter them.

I used to play with lag back in the day but if ping was over a certain point it was as you said unplayable.

Hello there.
I eagerly await the moment when I am brought back to earth with a bang. haha Of course, it has happened for me vs the computer many times, but the computer is still not capable of doing some of the things the talented humans can do.
Amen to that. I used to play on during pro evo back in the day if it wasn't too bad, but for a game that is all about timing, any sort of lag makes it unplayable for me.

Heartbreak in the WTF final. I was just about to create a Cold in 5 t-shirt because it has become a habit. Furious! In a video game sort of way. I am starting next season on incredible 1 even though I lost. Break up in the final set and then I lost the plot because I was thinking of the t-shirt. Unreal.
That is now 0-4 against Tsonga, but you, I and the world know that I will get him next time. Doesn't feel like the 0-4 against Kafelnikov because I'm always getting chances here. Really should have put this match to bed. Even worse because I had 3 set points in set 3. Damn concentration letting me down.
The mind wanders, father. What can I say? Church is boring.

Oh dear. Even though I have come back from 0-2 many times, it just doesn't seem likely against Federer in the semi of Australia. I beat all the midcarders in 3 games and 1 set matches.
On the late masters levels it was hard enough passing him, but now he is getting to everything. No exaggeration. Everything. Smash counter followed by a crushing pass was beginning to be my trademark. Not in this match. lol Frickin 'Sugar' Ray Roger reflexes on display.
And I have the cheek to call Tommy Robredo a midcarder. Ouch. 3 1 6 What an absolute hammering by the maestro, The most beautiful thing happened when I had a chance on his serve at 5-5 set 3. In control of the rally and then he gets a netcord. Instead of doing the dishonest ''I'm sorry'', he does a celebration pose. Such glorious arrogance. Can't really complain, can I? I got hammered on incredible 1. Still amazing progress to even have a break point. Good times. 5-5 with Roger in the goat rivalry.
Nadal beat Federer in the final in 5. Seems pretty familiar.

Haven't updated you guys on my progress in my Djokovic career in a while so here goes.
I finished the 2008 season by finishing number 1 in the world. I ended up winning 1 grand slam and that was the USO beating Murray in the final 6/2 6/4 7/6. I also won the WTF beating Federer in a really tough match 7/6 7/6. Those were my two best achievements.
These are all the tournaments I have won so far
I then started off the 2009 season winning Doha again beating Tsonga in the final. Then it was AO time where I lost to Nadal in the final 3/6 6/1 3/6 6/7. My h2h with Nadal now stands at 1/3 in his favour.
These are the current rankings. I have already lost my top spot.

Cold's current honour roll. Looking like Australia will be the one I will have to break my back to win once again. Da fook is it about that place? Oh yeah, you talk about Djoko levitating, but Fed actually was levitating in that picture I posted above. Have to win as many 250 as I can now since the other tournaments won't be winnable here on incredible mode.
Berdych next at Indian Wells round 3. Going to give him the full 3 sets and 6 games.

Can you explain in idiot terms, what is the difference between simulation and elite controls? Also, another thing that I haven't got an answer to. Auto positioning. What exactly is auto positioning? I've had it on average the whole time.
I guess I could try and see for myself, but I don't really want to switch anything because simulation feels right. Maybe I'm looking to gain some sort of advantage. And like Triple H says, adapt or perish.
I'm just imagining being drawn against Davydenko. Last time I played him was probably on master 7/8 and he beat the **** out of me. Or wait. There might have been a match after that where I finally took a set. Anyway, my opponent's level was still lower. I don't fancy going lower then incredible 1 now for anybody.
Even looking at that beating from Roger. That was more of a lesson that I can respond to next time. It didn't knock the stuffing out of me or anything. He beat me in straights in the US Open final as well, and then I beat him twice in a row after that.
I'm currently 2-0 vs Rog at Wimbledon.

Been there many times. Ferrer could be smoking a cigarette and chatting to a lady while having me run around like a headless chicken at the same time.
How are your stats? You look to be doing well, judging by your titles won so maybe you're happy with everything.
If you're not, you can change the training setup so your player never loses points. It helps the impatient player that wants to reach their prime level quickly or put all their levels up 100. Whatever takes their fancy.
I wouldn't exactly be putting myself against the greats on incredible 1 if I was stuck with lousy stats. I put the code on to boost myself up and then turned it off again. I usually get close enough to where I need to be now. Means I usually just turn up at a random tournament just so my level won't go down. Sometimes, I do start caring and end up winning the tournament. Metz and Memphis are proof of that.

Oh, man. Tomas came to play. The toughest battle was trying to prevent a bagel in set 1.
I'll get you next time.
Yeah, right. This was your greatest chance and you blew it. Another character building exercise for Cold. Went ahead a break in set 2 and then he got me back straight away. Thought I wouldn't win another game, but the thing is, despite his brutal forehand, he is no Federer. I was looking through certain replays of points. Acceleration spamming to one another, then I'd throw in a less powerful top- spin, then a powerful top-spin, followed by a Berdych error on a key point. It was beautiful to watch. Almost like a painting being painted by yours truly.
Now go praise me on twitter, Tomas! Tell them the cold gun is unlike anything you have ever seen before. Thank you.

The Indian Wells final.
I'm just trying to rival @Sabratha for most consecutive posts. Everything is a competition.
I was literally shaking for a minute.
This is the goat tiebreak I've played. I was 6-0 up and he came back to lead 7-6, then I thought I might as well just retire now if I'm blowing a lead like that. Suddenly, I found my serve again and took risks. Managed to keep 2 overheads in play during one of the set points. Everything was launched at each other.
Unfortunately, whatever happens in this match and if I win. I will never get credit because it is a master series match and Fed was elegantly tanking. Yeah, he was really tanking here. MONNNNNNNNNNN. This first set almost lasted as long as our match in Australia.

Auto-positioning is how quickly your player will move to the ball if you hold any of the stroke buttons and if you're close to it. So if you move the bar up from average, you will move to the ball a lot quicker. So it's really if you're too lazy to move to the ball

I'm through to the SFs of Miami on master 1 and am currently playing Roddick and it is 5-5 in the first. I am having a lot more trouble now on master 1. I will probably get destroyed by Fed in the final should we both get through.

Following the high of my 7th AO win, I lost in the QFs in Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami, then reached the Monte Carlo Final where I lost to Djokovic in straight set 5-7, 2-6. I elected not to play Madrid and then beat Djokovic in the Rome Final 7-5, 6-3 (after ripping through the rest of the draw).
Rome Final stats below:
I had a 28-4 record heading into the French Open (as the defending champion). I proceeded to play my best ever clay tournament, dropping less than 5 games in every match until the QFs. I whacked Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-0 in the QFs, then disposed of Murray 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 in the SFs. Then Federer knocked out Djokovic in 4 sets in the other SF and I won the final in straight sets to once again take home the RG Title. Still maintaining very strong FH, serve and stamina stats which are the main reasons for my success.

Novak Djokovic wins his first GS in the current game. French Open 2009. Went through Federer, Murray and grand master Cold as well. Wins in 4.
He took my spirit in set 3 when it was 1-1. I was up a break and he took it back, then he saved some set points in the tiebreak before winning that. Won the 4th 6-1. :/
Not all bad, I suppose. I'm now number 1 by 200 points.. Need to win a gs on the incredible level, though. Slipped to 3-3 in gs finals.

Looks like your Wimbledon is my Australia. Any explanation as to why you're 1-4? No Grass is for cows excuses? Hot opponents or tough draws?

Currently 0-2 vs Stan. Both on clay. He is now into the top 15 and he makes a joke of my so-called net game.
Playing Queens semi now and it is a strange one. I can't break him until he breaks me. He was break up twice in set 2. He won the first on a tiebreak. No matter how much I push, I can't break him to take a lead.Had him at 15-40 when he served to stay in set 2, but then he serves and volleys me out of the stadium. But anyway, on the bright side. I did win my first set against him.
Even let out a come on when I blew a 3-0 in the tiebreak. He got it back to 3-3 and the scream came out. It worked. The full range of fist pumps came out as well. The satisfied pump, the relieved pump and the I'm gonna go bang Donna after I beat you pump. Stan is going down like Southampton.
I will report back when I lose.
I'm not sure about that.

It was looking grim again early on and I wasn't ready to tank, although I was starting to just accept that Stan has my number. I could taste the difference in the match in set 3. Sometimes you just know for sure that you will win and I pretty much had him on a string in set 3. Passed him numerous times. Now he has lost his edge over me.
I haven't played the Olympics or Davis Cup before. Just seems weird how the Olympics are every year, but no way around that. I really should have played in 2008 since that is an Olympics year. I'll do 2012 if I'm still at this game.

All to do with how they are set up, I think. Djokovic is a power baseliner so I will have more fun playing against him. He has a great defence, but Murray is at a different level because he is set to play as a defender. I'm just imagining him set to counter. I wouldn't win a game. He handled me pretty easily in Queens final.
Federer is a dream to play against. Even when he is in God mode. I never feel drained.
I did my usual fast forward 2 games deal all the way to the final of Wimbledon. Vindicated because I played Monfils and he put 4/5 volleys into the net on his service game lol. He was getting me ready, right? Stepanek did me a favour because I don't want to see Murray for a while. He beat him in the qf.
That is me done for the day. Djokovic next in our second gs final in a row. He defeated Federer in the other semi. I've lost my last 3 finals, including the French to Djokovic. All on the line here. I need that first gs victory on incredible.
