Top Spin 3

Nadal_Monfils

Semi-Pro
So what is the next tennis game to come out and when will it be coming out? The roster isn't too bad for me as I can play with my favorite Nadal and Monfils and Borg.

I still don't see the poll. I even went on the topspin 3 website from the 2k sports website.

The exec's at sony and other major video game companies aren't generous enough to do that. It's a shame, really. A lot of people don't want all of the new features, they just want the games!!!!
 
I just don't get how Nadal can be only in the PS3 version. I get the licensing part, but if they can get him to be in one video game console, I don't see how they can't put him in the other consoles' versions.

He's number two in the world and has won three French Opens in a row...and the only player in this game who's only available for one console.

Just doesn't make sense, especially with the licensing part...

For people who want to know why Nadal is exclusively on PS3

In a recent e-mail to the 2K site:

"Unfortunately, this decision was out of 2K’s hands. Nadal was originally supposed to be in all Top Spin 3 versions and so I can understand why you are annoyed/upset. However in our defence, the reason why he’s only featured in the PS3 version is because, and I quote Nadal’s agent:

“Due to a possible relationship with an electronics corporation, it is Rafael Nadal's best interest to only be featured in "Top Spin 3" on Playstation 3”.

Hope that explains everything J
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Kind Regards,
Snezana Stojanovska
PR Manager – Australia and New Zealand "

Seems Nadal may be a PS3 fanboy :)

Still a little skeptical really as he's appeared in games on all 3 consoles.

Wow it looks a lot more realistic now... I mean it actually looks like a realistic match.

The grunts sound really fake though... listen to Sharapova.

Looks real, the graphics look pretty good. Can't wait to see a better preview and a newer one. The video here makes it look choppy.

I hope they have Doubles modes and possibly a doubles world tour or doubles tournaments on the world tour including the grand slams and masters. Davis cup/fed cup would be nice too.

And as for the poll, don't click a link to get to teh website, just type in 2ksports.com on your browser. Bottom right corner. Their choices were like Tennis legends, nba athlete, mlb athlete, other vid game characters. Tennis legends was winning by a landslide.

Anyone know what racquets and stuff you can get your custom players sponsored with. Apparently you can get the fxp prestige and not the microgel because thats what monfils is playing with so probably no kblades either

Graphics look good, gameplay looks alright, roster is horrible, grunts are pretty bad. I'll definitely get it though.

I noticed in the gameplay video that one of the guys was standing like 3-4 feet inside the baseline (no man's land) and still getting everything back. This would never be possible on the tour :|

Grunts are very unrealistic, but I guess that's a good thing for Sharapova. Although I'd still rather have it legit.

but monfils isn't even using a pj'd MG prestige in tournaments so maybe you can still get one.
 
i mean hey some players might not want to "sell out" or may feel weird about being in the game. plus it probably costs a lot of money for the company to make the exact players movements, which requires the players to go to where the game is being developed and record their movements using computers exetra. and if they don't spend thousands of dollars on that, let alone paying the player to even show up, then they get yelled at by the tennis community for not getting the movements just right.

Well, then, whats 2k sports do for their baseball games, and baseketball games? I mean, these sports do have much larger rosters than just 20 tennis players. =P

It says in the score that Haas is playing HEN...

My mate is the standard body for all the players. had to spend about a month covered in ping-pong balls hitting different strokes so they could capture it all.
Quite a cool claim to fame: "thats my body!"

Looks like smash court 3 is coming out for 360 this spring according to ign

Oh, smash court tennis: pro tournament 2 was amazing and I still own it for ps2. played it like last month. So much variety in shots: topspin, slice, flat, lob, kick serves, everything.

It just needed like a professional realistic world tour. I mean the realism was there, but I mean like your agent and sponsorships an dceremonies that are made for championships and hall of fame. Great game though.

Topspin 3 is the only reason i am not selling my xbox 360. Supposed to come out in May 2008. I hope it isn't anything like Topspin 2 (which was really bad) and more like topspin 1, which is a classic and still the best tennis game.

I don't think Top Spin 3 will be as good as VT3. From watching a few gameplay videos on You Tube the player animations look very mechanical and unrealistic. With VT3 the player animations are more realistic with the same swing motion of each pro while in TS3 the swing animations of each player such as their forehand all look the same.
 
Did you play VT3? It was horrible. The players moved way too quickly. It was absurd. I didn't like it at all and I used to like Virtua Tennis.

I love VT3. Its by far my favorite Tennis game especially when I play online. I play this game almost everyday and thats probably a reason why I'm ranked in the top 200 in the game.

vt3 is great, esp. with the accurate player animations. when you play the best people online, there is no diving because everyone knows how to anticipate and time the ball. the only lame things about vt3 are the stupidly effective slow ass slice serve and the fact that the player attributes are so ridiculous. apparently hewitt is the fastest player on earth and has ultra powerful groundstrokes, federer does everything mediocre, henman had the groundstrokes of a 10 yo girl, and ferrero "the mosquito" moves as slow as molasses but can hit forehands twice as hard as anyone else :).
