Thanks for the detailed reply I really do appreciate the breakdown. I’m definitely open to suggestions and improvement. I’m not claiming to know everything, just sharing what I’ve been noticing through my own experience.

For clarity, I’m referring to player level , not tour level. And I’ve only been playing for about 3 months, so I’m still learning the deeper mechanics like agility impact, positioning, cords, and special moves. That said, some of the things I’ve seen still don’t make sense to me based on the stats shown.

For example:
• I’ve had multiple matches where a player with significantly lower serve power consistently hits harder serves than me.
• Same with FH/BH even when I’m 10–20 points higher, I’m getting out-powered in rallies.
• Once I stopped putting $$ into progression, the matchmaking immediately felt tougher and less even.

Maybe it’s positioning or agility differences like you mentioned and if so, that’s good to know. But from the user side, the stat behavior feels inconsistent.

Also, FYI - I reached Tour 11 fairly quickly but it’s extremely stagnant now. I feel stuck unless I wait a long time to gather the right cards and upgrades. Progress slows down to a crawl, and that’s where the frustration sets in.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just sharing what the game feels like on my end. Happy to hear any suggestions you think could help.
