BTW... I'm going to reveal the players' trait, points and gameplan for this tournament. And also how the matches are scored and played. Just so everyone can know.

Obviously you can change the traits and points when the real tour starts.

Lindsay Davenport withdraws from the exhitbiton then, I do not want my strategy revealed... sorry.

EDIT: I'm still going to leave this open for discussion but I've decided to change it so that you MUST use every weapon at least once.

So... is it once per match, or once every set?

 

[Ms Tracy Austin]

I have a question about this rule in blue,

On-court
Creative (Will win the game if same weapon is selected; only against non-creative players)


Does this mean if in game one, Sharapova and I both use backhand; she has a 5 for hers and I a 6 for mine. Does dhe win it because she is creative?
or do I win it because I have the higher number?

 

[Ms Tracy Austin]

She wins it because she's creative. Creative is when "same weapons" clash, you as the creative player will win no matter what the other player has for her points.

BUT if a creative player vs. a creative player then it'll come down to points as usual.

Thank you, I think I get it now?

I know we are in play-testing mode right now and nothing is totally cast in stone, but these are my thoughts. Strategy will be tough to implement in the game, because no matter what shot you use your chances of winning the game are 50/50, you'll either beat two shots or lose to two other shots.

The most powerful force in the game can only be used once per set (tactics). I know this will change when we can afford wonder shots, but how much it costs will play a big part in the game because if you lose all the time you won't be able to afford them.

Also, the creative thing kind of sucks. Now I'm not saying this because I lost, I did win a match too. I just don't think it is a good idea that someone can win a game with "zero" or "one for a shot, and beat someone else who has 10 for that same shot just because they are quote/unquote... creative.

I don't know, it just bugs me.
