I was wondering if EA will set up some kind of tournament for the best players on ranking for both single and double.
That's really a pity that you cannot see the nationality of members in ladder 'cos you cannot understand at what lvl you are in your own country.
I am a double player together with my bro, nick N4R4YAN. We are on 23rd position in the world ranking. i guess there's a possibility that we are first of our country (Italy).
Would be totally great to have a tournament organized to have fun amongst the best players

PS: We recently won against the 1st, ScoopaLoop. We were celebrating like hell cos we totally didn't think about having a chance to prevail (guess that's really no way to win against benji or mao, hope they are not cheating in some way).

doin well dude!
just a question, with doubles do you experience severe lag???
i love playing doubles but the lag for me is just far too great it takes away from the whole experience?

thanks mates.

@frankylie: According to the experience we had playing doubles, me and my brother we decided not to play against players from pretty far countries (that means for us italians america, japan or australia for istance...).
Seriously, most of the times we played against americans and japanese guys we experienced most of the bugs that are also listed in a specific discussion here in the forum. Like no matter you return a serve, it's a lost point...nerving...
Apart from that i must admit the game is cool, even online...no major issues detected so far...it's ok...prolly disconnects or game bugs could add us like 8/10 lost games on 62 (current) not more...
so those numbers compared are ok...not cool but ok xD
Hope i helped.

now we are 16 on world rank
next goals: top 10 and then top 3 for podium...still far

And all this without nunchuck...both of us...so don't feel obliged to use it...well...of course it would be ok to start learning it from the beginning...but it's not like NO USE = NO WIN as well.
The only type of shots u can suffer if you don't have nunchuck are passing cos if you bring your opponent in making passing shots then you are not able to move your char to the edge of the court so it's lost point...
the solutions are

1)use the nunchuck...but this would mean...ok, u did 300 games without so you are going to freakin lose everything you made up...you have to master it from the beginning...starting at job done it's not good (and this would be my situation xD).

2)stop bringing opponents to do easy passing shots putting balls on the external part of the court, expecially when you are "net playing" with short balls.

Then everything is just a matter of dynamic playing...best thing to do is to always see the opponent court part...not yours...always see opponent movements...so that you understand wich shot would fit the situation

PS: anyway, no one knows if there will be some kind of tournament set up in the next future?

I don't believe there has been any word on official tournaments or anything, no.

Without nunckuck how do you replay to "roddick" ace? Often I replay with a "slow" shot so the opponent can push B button and I can't reach the ball (very frustating traduzione: porchi a nastro).

ahahahaha?!?!?!?!!
anyway dude, it's easy...in this case u have to remember that however the serve is strong u can always return it with a LOB...LOB at least give u time to understand wich is the next move...sometimes it can also give u a point cos u LOB to the guy that is on the net (i am talking about doubles...i am not experienced in singles).

Good I'll try to LOB against "roddick" player (I hope to catch the ball).
What do you think about Italy is fallen so down in the world list? I think that It is impossible that a micro country with 4 game played has more point that a 60.000.000 country (spain affected too).

Really dunno man...probably because there are a lot of players in italy that play just for fun even in ranked matches...so they don't care about rank...and so the country fell down the list...
I am really disappointed with that...cos in the beginning Italy was cool...it was like fourth in rank...now only england is worse counting big countries...and that's actually weird cos tennis was born in england lol!
But in the end is ok...games are made to have fun with them...i am not the nerd guy who's hating noobs...i don't care about other players...if they have a competitive spirit or not...i am going my way and till now i am doing it very well...

I've followed your suggestion and I gain 400 point in a few days! Simply I removed nunchuk, used more lob and... brain in single and couple mode too.

I think about that until now you have win due to your high reflex and ability BUT now you understand why Italy (spain, etc) are so follen down.

If two gamers fight with the same skills, the less "lagged" gamer win:
I serve and the avatar move to right instead of stay on line
I serve in double and the 2nd near the net move to the center...
etc, etc

I'm very interesting to know if out USA friend are affected too.

Ciao e grazie.
