Everyone is basically serve and volley
Is it just me or is the serve and volley in this game totally cracked? I feel like I’m going insane. I’m matching against Alcaraz in Career Mode and he’s charging the net every single point like he’s Prime Sampras. Since when does Carlos play like that?
The main issue is that once the AI reaches the net, the point feels effectively over. They rarely, if ever, miss a volley, even when they are caught in poor positions. In real-world tennis, net play is one of the hardest skills to master, but in the game, the AI’s execution feels nearly perfect regardless of their stats or positioning. Unless you force a baseline rally immediately, it’s incredibly difficult to break through. Does serve and volley need a nerf at higher levels to reflect the actual difficulty of volleying?
