Build 158 - SubBuild 2026.5.6

Woh, a big update coming from all your reports, with 1 big change for the online modes !

I hope you'll enjoy it. 🙂

And here's the full changelog.

New Features :

Controls : the keyboard (or a controller with a ton of buttons), pressing a couple of additional buttons will now still detect a close strike combination (like with the default controller) ; for examp;e, this allows to easily switch from the normal strike to the slice while aiming left./right without having our player start running left/right.
Camera : added Settings -> Camera -> Exposure for indoor & night sessions, and Exposure when Facing the Sun
Modding : "Crowd_" sounds are now moddable

Online : changed the average skills for Fair & Realistic from 80% to 83% (so now you have 772 points left, instead of 880)
Animation : in doubles, now all the players use their return animation while waiting for the service
CPU : removed the topspin preparation boost for the Incredible CPU, so only the topspin specialists will be able to hit heavy topspin balls consistently ; idem for the slice
Physics : it's not possible anymore to hit a very low ball ; now, under 10 cm high, the likelihood of a mishit is very high, and under 5 cm, it's a sure miss
Stadiums : removed some useless data, to save a bit of memory (especially useful on PlayStation to avoid crashes)

Online : having a double-handed backhand was leading to a systemic desync when doing a backhand slide
Online : the Slice Mastery talent stars weren't counted for the 5-star online limit
Strike : since the last Build, it wasn't possible anymore to do an automatic sliding sliced backhand ; it was always defaulting to the sliding regular backhand
Animation : when running towards the net, the backhand smash could be wrongly replaced by the regular smash
Strike : the ball hit detection could fail when a player was running very fast towards the net or away from it
World Tour : switching to the TEM2 mode after playing with a Junior player was leaving you with very low potentials ; it's fixed for the new careers, but if you have a current one, you can add this line to your Tennis.ini, under [WorldTour] : TrainedPotential= 95 (HowTo => https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic19-32161.php )
Modding : playing the Country Cup while having some Modded 2D courts with disabled court lines (because they are in the photo) could lead to playing on a base 2D court with the lines missing
Modding : if a Mod was specifying to load an unexisting stadium, this was causing the game to hang ; now, the TET500 Stadium will be loaded instead
