Would it be too much to change how many points are spent if you go above, say, 80 in any stat? Just so we can scale back on things because the game right now with how many points we can spend online allows you to be Isner and Djokovic combined. Its too much and would love to change it, as would alot of other players too. But if its too much work i cant ask you to do it and i dont want to sound greedy. I really appreciate you being here reading our posts.

Jirafalox,
1) 15% of the 25% starts when the Breath is under 25%, it linearly goes down till its ends when it's at -10%.
The other 10% of the 25% starts when the Energy is at 50% (and ends when it's at 0%).

I raised the 15% to 20% for the next update, as I had totally forgotten about the base being -10% and not 0%...

2) Send me a Bug Report right after you notice such a typical hit, and I'll check if it makes sense or not. (HowTo => topic5-31732.php )

Rambobear,
Sorry, I won't go into complicated rebalancing now, as is the exact point cost.

Sorry to derail the convo about serve/return and point allocations, but since this is a thread for tour improvements for next year...

Personally I'd like to see:

1) One Futures and one Challengers tournament run every week except for the first week of Slams.
2) CT125(with higher elo cutoff) that starts the 2nd week of Slams for players that have been knocked out of the Slam. There's already a CT125 during the second week of Masters tourneys so that's good.
3) Smaller main draws (dependant on the tournament size) with more utilization of qualifiers

Some big issues I perceive with the current XKT tour are lower ranked players getting matched up with players well above their skill level during single tournament weeks, and lack of weekly tournaments during Masters and Slam events due to being 2 week events. IMO there's no good reason why we can't have tournaments available every week across the 3 skill tiers as a virtual tennis league. The adherence to the irl schedule is a bit of a detriment in this case and leads to players feeling left out, or dead weeks where you're not participating in anything. There should be options to play in something (and feel somewhat competitive to your skill level) every single week if that's what you want to do.
