are some people cheating in this game?

I just don't understand how someone is consistently hitting an incredible serve or hitting those short angled shots so perfectly every single time? It's just an unrealistic experience when someone is hitting such a tight angle perfectly every time. This game lacks any true actual jeopardy.

I am not sure about cheating, but customized players who have 3 status over 90, like forehand 97 with bandhand 93 and 98 power same time is so stupid.

The game is becoming unplayable, people who have no interest in tennis are joining the game just to cheat and ruin the experience for everyone. It's the same in NBA 2K24 and probably the same cheating devices are being used. On consoles people are now using so called cheat devices (Google for Zen cheating device if you don't believe me), not sure about PC/Steam users, but likely just as easy.

What do you mean with cheat? Play cheesy or are people using cheats? If yes, what kind of?

What I have seen so far:

1. People hitting forehand, backhand like it's maxed out stat 100 but in the profile it says something like 30. Same for the serve.
2. Every shot is at max power and perfect hit no matter what angle they are in.
3. There is people who's stamina seems to go back to full green during the match.
4. There are people who teleport from left to right and even looks like they are going back in time and walking backwards super fast from the net to the baseline in an instant.

Ok, in Top Spin 4 people were talking alot about the game sometimes being glitched. Apparently that made it possible to have perfect timing every shot and move without problem (even with lower stats) with auto positioning. I have no idea if it is possible to create a glitch in the game though. I also feel sometimes its almost impossible to get perfect timing versus sometimes I dont have to do anything but every shot is exactly what i was aiming for.

I dont know if the stamina play any role in this game. The only thing I have noticed is that hard hitters tend to miss more in later stages of the sets - others from that they hit, run, hit, run without any problem.

Im just happy we got rid of the serves out wide - it made a big difference.

Sadly there are a lot of cheaters for sure, people with 480 wins and 5 losses in a season, whenever you find one of these (and there are many) against you, you clearly see they only need one or two shots to get a point, every single shot is perfectly aimed on the line at full power, some even found a way to win an entire game exclusively by service. There's a little community of a few dozen players (there are like 500 total online, and the game is new...) that probably come from older TopSpin and have found a way to abuse of certain game mechanics, I wish they fixed stuff like this. Moving to Elbow, way more realistic and skillbased.

Wondering if the enabled D-Pad plays a part in recent online matches, now it seems easier for players to hit clearly wider angled shots.

I dont see the cheating here. I only have the cheat feeling when players hit nonexistant shots. Like super high and slow top spin to stop your attack (there's no such shot)
