How to get gold skills?

I've got three top-100 accounts, the highest ranked is Aik. I played our last match with my current testing/relaxing account Spieler and a created female player.

Low-ranked accounts are a good method to avoid all those quitting cowards (and to steal many points from high-ranked players

).

When I was low-/middle-ranked I had my best matches against high-ranked players because it gave my concentration a boost.

I sometimes press A to cancel when the connection process takes long, which is often (but not always!) an indication of laggy far-away players. The connection process to a high-ranked Spanish serve bugger is for example extremely long.

Yeah I think you kicked my butt with Spieler since like you said I wasn't anticipating a tough match lol. I kind of was wondering about Aik cuz they both look similar :p I think I canceled on you when you were on Aik cuz we were gonna play at the French? I tend to avoid playing there what with being color blind and the clay being way too similarly colored to the ball :p

Are you into playing longer matches at all? I've been having a blast the last few days playing 3 setters and hope to play a 5 setter or two sometime soon as well

Seems to me the top 100 is actually closer to the top 50 because half the people on it have multiple personas in the 'top 100'. A fun game would be to connect all the alts.

I also wonder how many points each person would have if they just stuck with 1 account the entire time...

Good to be combined to create a player might be what? Bonuses with racquets and shoes you take what? Five star is realy important or not?

At the top level I think serve and speed are both pretty required to stand a chance, as far as the third one, I think its mostly personal preference. As far as racquet and shoes I took topspin forehand and speed for those.

Gold hustle is bad or good?

All I know is I stand no chance against people with the booming Roddick style serve. It's hopeless. They can take free serve/volley points on me whenever they choose. I have to guess on returns. Then when I serve I'm at a huge disadvantage.

The game makes me far angrier than it does happy.

+1

For precisely that reason I'm only playing a little like once a week, as opposed to hours everyday, like in the beginning.
Fairly addictive gameplay + lag bugs and design faults = frequent anger and frustration. And that's not what I play video games for.

The defensive baseliner is you really faster than a server voller? I was not paying attention when I created my character,and its going to hurt him?

Gold hustle or Gold Speed? How is better quality?

I think Hustle is primarily a s&v ability to help you at the net. Speed is good for baseliners.

I got my gold skills in a day of play. I found if you play on easy they offer silver and bronze. Its when u play on hard that the gold is available. Then how I got them so fast was loosing the tournament after earning my 5 stars of course. What I want to know is is one speed better than the other? If there both gold? Like are the ones you get later better than the ones you earn first. But loosing the tournament speedallows you to play that bonus match to earn these skills.i
