How are u able to lob over their heads? I have tried for 25 demo games and it seems impossible!!!:twisted::twisted::twisted:
When you lob don't expect the ball to bounce, assume that the CPU will hit it back. If you hit a "good" lob, the CPUs return will be very weak/awkward. So right after you hit the lob rush towards the center of the net and stuff the volley. If they reach the volley, just volley back the opposite way.
Another Tip:
Holding down LT (the lob button) during volleys will produce a harder/faster volley but you can't hit them at a short angle like you can with drop volleys.
Hit down the line when they come to net.
Aim crosscourt and then let go of the stick (holding down A), then aim the stick down the line letting go of A so the timing is Good.
I play with the right stick...not the buttons. How would I do this using the sticks?

I saw a trailer and it looked really bad. The player swingsets didn't look smooth or accurate to each of them, and the bounces looked very unrealistic. It seemed like they were all hitting on the rise.
i'm optimistic. 2K has released multiple updates correcting various gameplay mechanics on TS4 and i'm almost certain EA can do the same.
You should go to some EA forums, people are usually upset because games like Madden, NCAA Football, Tiger Woods, and Fifa's gameplay flaws aren't patched. TW 12 in particular got a patch that changed nothing about the gameplay. Not saying that that will be the case, but the post release support the 2K Czech team gave to TS4 won't necessarily be the same for GST2.
Murray/Djokovic 5 min gameplay vid.

1HBHs...:x
Pro AI video.

You really going to tell me w/ a straight face there's Pro AI when you have Nadal and Hewitt hitting topspin 1HBHs in rallies? :lol:
Play just like their real life counterparts w/ Nadal & Djokovic coming to net at will in the demo? Alright.
i'm real excited about this game (although i forgot about it) but watching these videos and seeing murray, djokovic, and hewitt hit 1HBH winners is making me nauseous.
did they do ANY research on these players besides look them up on wikipedia?!?!
Tsonga/Nadal gameplay vid from the French.

No sliding, net play still dominant...this game looks worse and worse the more vids I see of it.

That definitely doesn't look good from a game play perspective...Arcade-y, and the lack of sliding on clay is too bad.
UGH, Unless they update this massively before release, it looks like I'm stuck with TS4.
The game comes out next week in the US, so it's too late for any major changes. Discs have already been printed and shipped. They still can patch it, of course.
I'm just saying, we don't know know when this game play was filmed. It could have been 2-3 weeks ago, or longer.
In any case, it looks crappy.

+ Best Move Tennis game, but not perfect. Sports Champions Table Tennis is still the Move sports game reference.
+ Total Racquet Control (Analogue Stick): Difficult at first but after some practice works great.
+ Good variety of shots with the Controller - will probably be the only way to win online.
+ Move calibration is quick.
+ Move changes color depending on whether you hit a topspin or slice.
+ Atmosphere.
+ Commentary*.
+ Player creation - although restricted in some areas.
+ Despite the flaws, playing GST2 with the Move is fun.
+ Good court choices - not just the main stadiums at the Grand Slams.
+ Career mode looks good.
+ Grand Slam Classics - nice idea & fun to play (25 in all).
+ Player animations & Graphics. Murray actually looks like Murray (Top Spin 4 take note
Negative:
- If you've played the Demo it is a good representation of the final game. i.e. No significant gameplay changes.
- No Move 1:1 controls: Some shot types require a button press & directing shots is a bit erratic.
- (Move) Backhands can be hit with forehands & Vice-Versa.
- The ball hardly ever goes out.
- Lobs are pointless - your opponent ALWAYS smashes them back.
Against the better (AI) players it's an invitation to lose the point.
- Your (AI) opponent always has a 100% first serve rate.
Played a 5 Setter against Bjorn Borg (Level: Pro) - 100% first serve.
Played through a whole tournament (Level: Amateur) - All AI players had 100% first serve rates.
- Menu load times - although they are way better than Top Spin 4.
- *Commentary becomes repetitive - similar to GST on the WII.
- Player footsteps sound is uneccessary & becomes annoying.
- The player speeds at the higher levels are absurd.
- Players never get tired - even after a 50 shot rally.
- Full HD? Nope, 720p.
Note to EA: Full HD is 1080p. **Please let me know if i've missed something here (GT5 runs at 1080p: Full HD)!
- Only one camera view.
- Aces are rare. At the higher levels perfect serves are met with perfect returns. It's almost better to hit softer serves & fool the AI.
Overall: 7/10
Does anybody know if we will be able to adjust the AI like we can in all other sports games? Hopefully that would fix the insane net rushing. When roger/nole stayed on the baseline in that last video (a few seconds each point but still) it looked buyable.
Wow. 8.5. So aside from the odd player movement and the fact that everyone has the same animations, this guy doesn't see lobbing, approaching the net, then putting away the AI's overhead with a volley is a bad thing? lol what are ya gonna do...![]()
