After Nicol's comments about Showdown this morning and the discussion on Super Tennis, I just wondered whether is it possible to also have a system in SD where you could choose to hit the ball iether to the left, along the middle, or to the right? Some people might like the guessing work of hitting space, so this feature could be turned iether on or off. Unlike Super Tennis, if you're near the right end of the table and you hit the ball to the right, it would be great if the ball could sort of bounce off the wall, maybe if you are totally on the edge of the table and you hit the ball to the right it could iether then go off the table, or make a drastic bounce off the right-side wall. Another thing I was wondering was, what determines whether you or the computer shoots the ball off the table, is it luck or is it a mistiming of shot? Has anyone actually managed to beat the insane level? I get to hard, and depending on things, sometimes I win, sometimes it wins, sometimes for some reason the ball is always in the right place for me and I play a excellent game, I actually beat hard by quite far. Other times, though hard thrashes me, and things don't go that well, in that I'm iether out of position, hit the ball of the table, and basically maybe I'm not up for the sort of sharpness needed in such a game. I don't know if it's a mental thing when I'm not playing that well, but one thing I do know is that even when I do feel that I am playing a good game, insane is really difficult, and I never come close to beat it! Have you guys noticed that insane moves it's bat faster and more then any of the other levels, and the step from hard to insane is quite different and high. It really is one of the most fun and realistic games I play over and over again.
