I still play every now and then on PS3 when I can get the play station network to cooperate.

I'm still playing. I'm playing Simon at the Paris Indoors and the crowd starts chanting "ALLEZ GILLOU". Got me weak lol. This game still is awesome.

Interesting, I've never heard that. I definitely love it. I was dominating for a while, but lately competition is getting insane on the 2K Open.

Hopefully there are some sick tennis games on the next-gen consoles, I am tired of tennis games looking like they belong on N64 or Sega Dreamcast LOL.

Exaggeration much? (at least when it comes to TS4 IMO).

I'm hoping more for a better roster and better career mode in TS5.

TS4 is still fun sometimes, especially after some time away. I would love to see 30+ ATP pros in the next version, and a career mode with injuries and a full annual schedule that you have to manage. It would also be sweet to see more venues.

I agree, I just hope with the next version they put some effort into getting the serve technique at least kind of close to the actual player. It doesn't have to be spot on, but neither Fed nor Sampras bring their back foot up in real life. And it also annoys me that when you serve and stay back a lot of the players bring their foot up on the serve, but they leave their back foot back on the serve when they S&V. Other than that, this is by far my favorite tennis game and one of my favorites overall.

any serve and volley tips. Do you press RB as your split step or does it speed you up?

I can't stand video games of sports that you actually play and are good at....makes it frustrating when you suck at the video game lol. Virtua tennis and MX unleashed both drove me nuts

I still love playing this game, just went back and started a fresh career on very hard. The jump in difficulty in the finals of masters/grand slams gets me though, so I just drop it back to hard.

Likewise, I hope the next version has more pros. And flushes out the recurring dead wood like Blake and Roddick. Definetly needs an injury component. And a better implemented Davis Cup.

Also, i would like to see ATP players and AI players either jump or decline in ratings over their careers, rather than stay the same forever. Ewan McLeod is set for eternal mediocrity.

I love this game, I think the next just needs fresh kits, a better roster and a few minor gameplay tweaks but my complains are minimal. I have a great match almost every tiime I play 2K open.

Yeah I a have guy in career mode playing in 2019 who has been number one for 8 straight years or something and the rest of the top four is still Djokovic, Federer and Nadal.
I liked the system in Fight Night 2 (old but I haven't played more recent ones?) where everyone aged and declined and a younger real life pro (Tomic here) would enter the ranks later on so it wasn't all random AI after a while.
You would end up at 40-something years old with terrible stats and adapted your style to get wins until you chose to retire.
That would be a big leap from any of the other tennis career modes though, they all seem to be quite shallow.

Some obvious stuff to be fixed like broken World Tour lobby, players having the wrong serve animation etc.
