I am really enjoying this game so far, good graphics and general game-play, better than the new Topspin. My only real gripe - and the reason I don’t feel I can recommend it just yet - is that as far as I can see, there’s no option to determine serve/shot direction with a target shown on court. I can certainly direct serve/shot with L joystick and see the ball’s trajectory, but I can’t set the shot direction precisely prior to hitting the ball, as far as I know. This functionality is available in AO/AO2, for example as I remember, so I personally would like to have the option for it in this game - unless it already exists of course, in which case if somebody can assist with how to enable shot targeting, I’d be much obliged.
Also, as with cricket '24 where you can create custom difficulties with sliders for different A.I aspects (e.g. shot timing windows etc.), I think such an option to alter specific A.I abilities (shot speed/power etc)( would allow for greater freedom for those who want control over the specifics.
One final thing: I cannot see how we are supposed to level-up created players in career mode, as when you go to adjust stats, it doesn’t seem to allow it, and similarly currency earned doesn’t appear to be spendable. Career mode feels very unfinished.
