Tennis Elbow Manager 2 ?

Step by Step Coaching

  1. In TEM2, you take control of a coach and his player, and your goal is to reach the Number One ranking in the world, to stay there as long as possible and win as many Grand Slam titles as possible
  2. You will also have the possibility to hire up to 8 additional players, under contracts, renewable if everything is alright
  3. If you don't have DirectX 9.0c on your computer, you have to install it first
  4. Launch Tennis Elbow Manager 2
  5. This takes you to the Main Menu
  6. Click on the big "World Tour" button on the top left
  7. Click on the big "Resume current game" icon on the top left, to immediately play the standard game
  8. This takes you to the "World Tour" menu
  9. Click on the big "Coached players" button, on the top left
  10. The 5 buttons on the top of the screen give you access to the tabs to handle your players : you can train your player, register him in tournaments, see to his sponsor, his trainers, and look at the contract between him and the coach
  11. You have 6 hours of training per day, and the better you train your player, the best chance you'll have to win your matches ; for example, you could do your 1st week of training on footing, body building, and serves
  12. In the "Planning" tab, go to the 4th week, and register your player in a "Futures" tournament, the only kind he can enter right now, because of his low ranking
  13. Click on the "Back" icon at the top left, then on the "Next Week" icon
  14. Train again, but this time, take between 6 and 12 hours of rest
  15. After that, click again on "Next week", and you should go to your 1st tournament ; don't take the coach with your player, if you want to save some money
  16. Play your 1st match, which you'll be more likely to lose than win
  17. Afterwards, come back to the coach center, and re-start the training sessions, and select the next tournaments you want to play
  18. Don't forget to look at the sponsor offers and accept the one that suits you
  19. Once you have enough money, you could hire specialized trainers
  20. Good luck on the Tour !
  21. Read the complete documentation, if you want

Step by Step Tennis Match

  1. In TEM2, you can also play tennis in the 3D matches, but in this case, the management part will be slightly unbalanced as a few of your player's skills will be less useful when you control him directly
  2. You can also freely play tennis matches in the Training Club
  3. If you don't have DirectX 9.0c on your computer, you have to install it first
  4. Launch Tennis Elbow Manager 2
  5. You are in the Main Menu
  6. Click on the big "Training Club" button on the top right with the mouse, or select the icon with the arrow keys and hit "Alt" key on the button
  7. You are in the "Training Club" Menu
  8. Click on the bug "Warm-up" button on top right
  9. You're on the court, in warm-up mode
  10. Move your player with the arrow keys
  11. You strike the ball when "Alt", "Ctrl", or "Alt"+"Ctrl" keys are hold down.
    ==>> You must maintain the button(s) pressed when you strike the ball <<==
    If you don't press down any key, you'll weakly strike the ball.
    When you hold down "Alt" or/and "Ctrl", you can give a direction to your shot:
    • push left arrow to send the ball to the left: the more time, the more to the left.
    • push right arrow to send the ball to the right: the more time, the more to the right.
  12. When you hold down "Alt" and "Ctrl" at the same time, you strongly hit the ball: it's a super shot! But be careful, you can do only a limited number of good accelerations per point. After that, your accelerations will become more and more imprecise & powerless each time your try to do one more.
  13. Try to position yourself in one of the 2 green spots of the Danger Zone which appears after where the ball will rebound, else your strike might lose some accuracy
  14. The earlier you press the buttons to prepare your strike, the most accurate it will be
  15. When you can move your player and strike the ball, you are ready for a match !
  16. Press the 'Esc' key, then choose "Leave Court" to come back to the menus
  17. Click on the "Match" button on the top right
  18. You are in the game
  19. Return your opponent's service, or serve
  20. Hold down "Alt", "Ctrl", or "Alt"+"Ctrl" keys during all the serving phase
  21. Try to win the set!
  22. Exit game and read the complete documentation

Notes:

  • "Alt" and "Ctrl" keys are the left ones
  • you can change the default keys, or use joystick; for that, go to the "Controls" menu, available from the bottom left of your player's Character Sheet (when he's set to Human and not CPU)
