Use the standard RBG cable, change to PAL 60, then plug in the VGA cable and then try

Just carted a TV into my room to do this, it's daft. Silly really as it's the only one I've had a problem with, DOA4 was fine (and Oblivion is 60Hz I believe) just bad programming with the VGA (yet again).

Oh well, thanks :).

Just into season 3 now, fully maxed out and picking up the advanced shots in training now. Once you are maxed out there isnt training available each time, you just have to wait for them to show up.

The special scenarios are where the money and easy games are at, I got a guy called Bill Billions offering me £5m to play and win at his birthday :D

Enjoying playing this online, so far I think Ive won 2 and lost 4. A lot more challenging that the career.

Up to #1 now, had about 400 career points at the end of season 2, so the career eachievements are all but done, just have to play through the rest of my career to pick them up.

Yes did you play the billions game I did. I got 24 gold stars for it, one set.

Advanced shots?

This is a major flaw in the gameplay. My mate has won every slam in his third season and he has used no risk shots or advanced shots. When he eventually got them they are unused and he wins win nothing buy the B button. Safe serve with A and then topspin all the way.

I also wish the slam games where not 3 setters. As you cant serve mid game you need sometimes 30 minutes or more to play a game.
 
Right career finished, didnt get the 1000 points unlock as I didnt realise you would be so limited in season. I started at 18 years old so didnt think I was in that big a hurry. But oh no you ony get 5 years then you retire :eek:

So although I was rank 1 i didnt quite achieve 1000 points, but I wont be playing a career again its just so much effort. A good 30-40 hours of effort to play through a career.

If the manual actually told you it was 5 years I couldve got the 1000. :mad:

Unless your deperate for the points SP game awards, I would recommend this game as a multi player game only. The SP is seriously flawed.

So onto multi player, ive tried to set a game up to invite a mate, but cannot see how. I know a few people from here have chucked me invites lately. Hows it done?

Press the xbox guide button, goto your friends list, select the person and press x "Send Game Invite"

Voila
 
Ah I see, I was trying to play ranked against my mates career player seems you cant play ranked that way.

So we played a private game with our career players. My mate finished career with his player winning all the slams in his second season, he ate everything thrown at him. I finished my career as no1 but could never win a grand slam.

I absolutely stuffed him online, took him apart. Weird that he whupped the career yet couldnt beat me.

Another flaw with the game for me, is the ranked matches, you have to use your career player. If you get that wrong with your 60 stars you are stuck. You either play through again or dont play ranked.

Anyway I'm now done with career so will take on all comers, although my serve is rubbish as its not a feature you really need in career.
 
il take you on with andy roddick now if you fancy it

also does anyone fancy a OCUK doubles match, i notice theres more than 4 of us have it

Really sorry mate, missed your invite. I sometimes do I use the dell screen on dual input so sometimes I leave the game running while surfing the net.

So please don't think i'm being rude :)

Can really spare the time right now for a game, the wifes home, she will pack my bags if i spend another night playing tennis ;)

Roddick, pah so your all power no skill :p I can eat Roddicks serve.
 
I found him easy to beat in career mode. Just move forward as far as possible and a little to the edge of the court and topspin it back across him. I could break his serve nearly ever game we played unless he 140mph plus aced me.

The only top seed that gave me bother was the myrani bloke. His constant slicing got on my nerves. Also every time one under arm served at me I wanted to walk my man round the next and start whacking him with a racquet :D
