Is the volume of aces and unforced errors something that can be altered with a patch, or not?

I downloaded it from the US Store, don't know if it's been released in the Euro Store before but it's possible it will be in todays update, havent seen the list yet.

Thats encouraging although disappointing they are not in the demo.

My concern with the jump to those harder levels though is that the First Serve % of the AI already seems too high while the AI players are not making unforced errors on the lower levels so I guess they wil be nearly perfect on the harder levels.

Maybe i've been spoilt by games like NBA 2k and MLB The Show but i'm looking for a realistic tennis experience rather than what seems to be on offer here.

I have found you can make the computer hit errors by mixing up your shot selection. Instead of only hitting flat or top spin shots, use a slice or drop shot. Additionally I have found that the cpu AI makes more errors when you hit your shots with excellent timing.

Good news from Ronnie2K on twitter earlier. Said the demos were on an easier difficulty level than normal and the retail will have more settings/options when it hits. I still have an issue with the serving as we should see more aces even from Fed from time to time, but this is common for this series. Would like to see more errors and miss-hits as well.

Still not a gamebreaker as I love the Signature style of the players and the gameplay seems to be well balanced all around to make for a fun game. Can only hope the servers will handle this one well.
