I'll give TS4 props for having the realistic annoying 12 year old rafa fans who yell out "vamos rafa" between every point.

I played a guy last night that appears to have found a glitch in the system. I was in a WT final and saw that I was playing a Level 7 created player. When the screen came on that show the stats, the guy has a few stat categories that were a joke. Power- 115, Serve 100, Forehand 105, speed 100 something. I think everything else was really low. I played the first set and could do nothing. Serve was an ace or I hit it back to the center of the court even with perfect timing on control shots. He got to everything and eventually crushed a winner. I ended up just forfeiting. First time I have seen that though.

Oh, and he also had a gold coach. I thought you had to be at a higher level for that, but not sure.

Yeah it did! I only played it bc I never bought a tennis game after that one till now, and the controls were really good, ill give it that, I could put a ball WHEREVER I wanted. I feel the same way about TS4 except it's really hard to do a drop shot that doesn't go out or into the net, so I use slice and put a lot of backspin on it instead.

enjoying this game, but there's one thing that really bugs me!

When playing with the default camera, when the opposition serves, the ball goes off the screen at the
upper half of the ball toss. It makes following the serve harder than it should be. When you play guys
online that can really crank a serve "down the T", it's too late when you realize where they are going
with it. I know I can use another camera, but I like the TV one the best.

what are u guys fav. arena's/courts to play on? I love playing @ the French. The court is slow, high bouncing and the sliding is great. I can really set up nice shots there. Not to mention it looks great. Same with Rod Laver arena minus the sliding. Shanghai is my 2nd fav HC on the game. I hate playing on carpet though its way too fast and low bouncing.

Really digging the faster courts (Hard, grass,carpet) Absolutely hate playing on the clay courts. As for Shanghai, it looks cool and all but really it looks more like the developer just got lazy and left it black.

whats your GT btw?

[MichaelNadal]

Yeah my only complaint about Shanghai is its so DARK. I like hardcourts alot too, just carpet is way too fast lol. Whats a GT? I'm assuming its a 360 term. I have a ps3.

[bezs]

I kinda have trouble with the shadows on court in the Monte Carlo Arena, love the sound of the ball in the O2 Arena and Paris Masters

[texasdoc]

This is really an excellent game.

I am still playing minors and major -- do you get actual trophies later?

That happened to me yesterday once I was like o_O and I think it was in Shanghai. Miami is my favorite court now, not for the way it looks but the way it plays, it's perfect.


Edit: who do you guys like to play with? Im digging Andy Murray right now.

At least I saved two match points, that's something.

After a tough match yesterday, Savage improves his record to 2-0 over Smith w/ a hard fought 7-6, 6-3 victory.

I was down 4-1 in that 1st set and faced break points to go down 5-1, but held on, fought back, and took the 1st set in a TB w/ some timely passing shots.

2nd set was close but the break was the difference. I think you will beat me once you reach lvl 20 though, you had me on the ropes big time there.

Yes and No. It is not possible to see the ball at the top of the toss in TV view, but also is not as big of a deal as you may think.

roddick is way too overpowered/over-skilled in this game while playing against decent kids in the 2kopen. either that or he's just a bad matchup for agassi. world touronline is sweet and it gives one the opportunity to practice one's patience, especially in the lobby.



this game is legit, by the way. career mode wasn't very boring like ts3, and the gameplay/controls seem a lot more genuine. although i was ecstatic to hear of its inclusion, i was disappointed with the ball machine mode. The concept is great, since we all know what it's like to hit in solidarity either against a ball machine, a wall, or to just practice serves, but the delivery was underwhelming.


still, it's better than hitting aliens or chasing fruit.

I created Ivo Karlovic, or at least as close to Ivo as I could. It's really tough to make a guy that's really good at serve but sucks at everything else though, so I end up w/ 16 for offensive baseline and 4 for S&V to get 61/61 FH/BH, 83 serve, 72 power, 53 volleys, 46 speed, 63 stamina, and 61 reflexes. He still doesn't crank it like the real Ivo does though, and isn't nearly as tall at only 6'4.

Is it worth getting? I'm thinking of picking it up later.
