Yes it's very fun as long as you're not playing a good Roddick player online.

If anyone's on xbox and wants a game add me my username is kilgoraca.
Had a good game already with Fena as Stan the Man against Agassi.

Is it just me or do the player animations look clunky and unrealistic? Virtua Tennis has a far better representation of each individual's styles and techniques like Djokovic's long, exaggerated swing and Rafa's lasso-whip forehand follow through.

Oh and Ana Ivanovic looks NOTHING like the real person :/

Mansewerz · 03-30-2011, 10:44 AM

Just beat Murray in two sets (best of 5 match, I ended it early) with Djokovic.

I feel that they did a great job on Nole's backhand. It feels authentic. They need to work on forehands and serves imo, hopefully with a patch.

I hit around 60 winners and 30 errors while Murray hit 39 winners and 19 errors. A little too many winners, but that's ok. It was definitely fun.

One rally, I hit a high one to Murray at net, and he did a jump, backhand smash. Also, when Djokovic gets tired, he sits down on the ground. Very amusing.

Anyone hit a ace yet as anyone other then roddick?

I think Ivanovic looks really like her, some of the other players are a bit more off (Wawrinka lol)

With the advanced/right stick serving I can get at least 5-10 aces a match w/ anyone. Some have even complained that serving is too easy once you master right stick serving.

Aced with Djokovic today.

Agrred serving is so easy once you understand what to do.

Ugh i hate playing against Roddick online

But yes Ive hit aces with everyone I picked. Its not all about serving flat or hitting lines..... 60% of my aces are wicked slices down the T that they dont see coming. I use slice serves on break points like magic.

Cup8489 · 03-30-2011, 12:07 PM

Anyone else disappointed with the racquet selection in game?

I mean cmon, no Wilson or Dunlop??

touche. lol.

But i would've liked to bust out a Kps88 for my character.. but the RQIS looks nice enough as it is.

just bought the game, don't have online mode so A-rod won't be a problem haha. incredibly realistic

backhander · 03-30-2011, 02:07 PM

how do you guys use the repositioning button? The most annoying thing is when my player gets stretched to the side, hits the ball, then stands there, sometimes hops, even though i'm telling him to run back to the other side. I'm at level 20 and his speed is supposed to be good, but i get killed on that all the time.

Use inside out more often to jerk them around and keep them guessing. If you arent reasonably close, or the distance is too much, reposition doesn't work. Sounds like ur a little late pressing it though, you have to start predicting their rhythms and using the button a half second, or full second before you are right now. Right around the time the ball is halfway to your side.

RCizzle65 · 03-30-2011, 03:57 PM

Roddick is so overpowered, my friend uses him and just aces me off the court >_>. There was one game where I was able to hit some return winners off his out wide serves somehow, but then that opens the middle up, ughhhh. They better patch him.

Also, anyone have any tips at net? I seem to lose points once I get up there, lol. Also, how useful is the inside out button, I don't use it at all, but I've been doing pretty well.

One last question, how is everyone's created player so good? I know coaches give you boosted stats once you complete all the objectives, but some people are just overpowering me, and I know I can beat them since I have pretty good timing most of the time.

RCizzle65 · 03-30-2011, 04:00 PM

Oh, I bought it on 360, if anyone wants to add me you are free to, just say you're from TW. My tag is the same as my username. I was going to get it on PS3 because of the Move controls, but I tried it in the demo and it was pretty meh, I thought it would be like table tennis on Sports Champions, once a PS3 game makes a tennis game like that, I'm going to be stuck in my house forever, lol

There about 5 or 6 wilson'[s in the wii one but like 3 of babolats

zidane339 · 03-30-2011, 04:49 PM

Just played the demo on PS3 and loved it. So realistic, five times better than virtua tennis..

1. When at net, the SLICE is your friend. It buys you a little more time, and stays low so it doesn't sit up as well for them to hit a passing shot. Also you can slice with the analog stick down (downspin) and it draws them forward. Drop shots also work well at net too.

RCizzle65 · 03-30-2011, 07:19 PM

Yeah, I just got the timing of the drop shot with my created character, not quite with the regular players though.
