maples45 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Is there a point to tennis other than training strength? I just wonder since there are so many courts all over the place. Is there a tennis challenge or anything? Can you play for money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x0v3rKiLx Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think the purpose of tennis is to increase your physical ability stats such as stamina and strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tch2296 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I love playing tennis. I thought it increased Stamina as well but after doing a bit I think it only increases Strength and not too much at that. My only problem is that "Normal" is too easy but "Hard" is still significantly too hard! I'm getting better though and I can tell that once I'm a bit better it's gonna be really fun to play tennis on hard - a true challenge. The other thing is that you can play tennis online (right?) so I'd imagine at some point there'd be tournaments or some such thing. Hopefully I enjoy it. Still have played barely any golf but I hear it's even better than tennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherDave Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It improves stamina only because you're running around the court I think. The strength increase is a certain amount per game in my experience, if you play a full five set match the increase is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it as a great way for your char to relax and work off stress outside of missions in SP. Especially since your char can fire a volley at an NPC and not get a wanted level If you're playing it online, then it adds to your skill/stats and JP/XP. You might even be able to lvl with it if you keep playing other gamers as well. Edited October 28, 2013 by PkUnzipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really that's cool I've never noticed gaining stamina after playing a set. But the longest game I play is a set. Can anybody give me an approximate idea of how many points of Stamina/Strength you might expect on a full match (6 sets or whatever…maybe it's five)?
