I really, really hate this game.

You should be fine, just win everything in the last two years to be sure.

I might as well quit then since I just lost in the semi's for the Australian Open. I can't win in Slams at all. The other players are too fast. I was hoping I could get enough points to do it without Slams, but since it seemed to glitch I guess I'm screwed. I hate this game too much to try again.

Save your game before the match, if you lose, quit and reload, keep going until you win. When you win, save, go to the next match. I've done that for the big tournaments.

I've definitely been doing that. There's about 3 or 4 people that keep beating me. Those with 8 or more gold stars in speed and with high precision including my damn rival who is maxed out in speed, power and precision. If only I could avoid them, but they not only show up in every master/slam, but always in my brackets no matter how many times I restart. I have no idea why the top 4 ranked players on the left side whereas the right side gets no one in the top 8. Weird game.

[rekikire]

How have you built your character? What are your stars like.

[The Cripplers]

I've finally beat one of my foes. Sugiyama. She beat me about 5 times before this Masters final. I just entered a major tournament and found Sharapova in it ranked 62nd. I guess she's struggling more than me.

I have max stars in speed, power, precision, forehand, backhand.
4 stars in reflex and serve
2 in stamina.

Tomorrow I take on the French Open. Hopefully I can win my first slam.

[The Cripplers]

I finished season 4 with 815 points so I thought I had a good chance, but now my rival has became insane. She has 88 stars and is ranked 2nd in the world so I have to face her in the quarter finals everytime. I have lost 24 games in a row to her. She has max speed and max power and precision.

When you're out of position, use the slice (X) shot. Buys you more time to get back into a position where you can go on the attack.

[The Cripplers]

Yeah, X is helpful. I find Y useless except when they charge the net. Lobbing against the serve always killed me. I then started to use the slice to return serves and it helped a lot IMO.

Finally beat my rival. I swear she was a lot slower that time than usual. Actually often the difficulty changes all over it seems.

5th season, won 1 slam, 2 masters up to the French Open. Simmed the rest and end up with 1053 points. Now to get the multiplayer achievements out of the way.

excellent mini guide working on this now will let you know how i get on

[thirtyninesteps]

Just finish this myself. If you can handle the training events, I would highly recommend you try completing them successfully. I managed to get all my bronze stars by the middle of season 2 and won the billionaire's challenge against my rival too. I also started competing and winning the master tournaments at this time which I think really helped.

For stats, I maxed out my speed, forehand, backhand, power, & precision. I then put 5 stars on reflexes, 3 stars on service, and 2 on stamina (although looking back, I'd probably be able to get by w/ just 1).

I only won 2 slams but made the finals 4 other times. Here's how my career points broke down:

Season 1: 45
Season 2: 486
Season 3: 840
Season 4: 1,165
Season 5: 1,179

I skipped all of season 5 by pressing the start button and lost the final match to my rival, obviously I was burnt out at that time. So long story short, that's how I completed the career mode for anybody who's curious.

[Gottle]

Ok guys, I mainly trained myself for the first 2 years (doing a couple of minor tournaments just to earn some money to buy trainings).
At the end of season 2 I had 59 points (in total).
In my 3rd Year I finished my training, and I did a lot of tournaments, reaching #1.
At the end of my 3rd season I had 941pts.
So, did I earned 882pts in one season, skipping a couple of tournaments?! How comes?! Now I need to score 60pts in 2 years, right?! Sounds Easy enough...

EDIT:
I've entirely simulated my 4th season, and skipped my 5th. Achievement unlocked!
So basically, i've just played 5/6 of one single season...

POINTS EARNED IN EACH SEASON
1st season: 34
2nd season: 25
3rd season: 882 (the only season I've really played, and not even entirely)
4th season: 187 (100% simulated)
5th season: 6 (100% skipped)

In my 3rd season i've played some special events, like the one for having a school entitled to you, the millionaire invite, the match vs the male ranked #1, and the one vs the female ranked #1; probably these events helped a lot!

As a sidenote, i've never used risk nor advanced shots (RT+A/X/B/Y - LT+A/X/B/Y)

[EnemyBritBomber]

1017 points at the end of season 3... Beginning the simming, can not say how glad I will be to have this 100%

Took me a played out time of a year coming to and from this game (not a good idea, lose the feel for it) but sort of followed the OP guide except i remember winning all majors earlier (using the save and quit method)..
