Intensity

[rloeb]

Before the match you can set intensity levels for serve, return and key points. What does this do, and what is the trade off? Why wouldn't I set them all to the highest level.

injury is way you dont use all - pick one only.

Your giving your player advise on when to focus/try harder - the advise from your Analyst gives you an idea of what to focus on.

Me i go look at the opponents info screen (click name on top right), if they have poor serve numbers - focus on returns, if poor returns focus on serve. Most of the time i focus on key points.

Thanks, I think I understand, sort of. But what if my player is bad at returning. Does it still help to raise intensity, or does it make it worse?

sorry dont know there... but logic says... yes?

A bit of this or any game is luck/chance. AI can only try and be fair/realistic, ive found this game to be solid in this regard - not perfect but.. fair.

Sometimes a bad returner (less than 10) will hit 30% return winners, or a bad server will hit 10+ aces, anyone who watch's sport knows - sometimes S@#T happens. lol

But that goes both ways, I sometimes win when i should lose. (by attributes) thats way we love sport...

After playing around with it a bit more, I seems like you lower intensity when your player is making too many mistakes, and you raise it if they make few mistakes but also few winners. Not 100% sure on it still, and it seems like emotional state might play into it too, somehow.
