Some type of guide to help make clear what’s standard and what can be unlocked would be very helpful. This applies to outfits/kit as well as venues. I’m sure there will be DLCs coming which could make even more money for the developer but the base game needs to hold players’ interests to maximize those profits!
Latest patch tonight is by far the best ever,now hard and expert the cpu is hitting more topspin shots and not hitting anywhere as much into the net and cpu is not hitting missile flat shots deep as often now for return of serve instead using much more topspin shots and rallies now feel great. I am sure the female umpire has been removed from the game at the moment as i have not seen her last two patches.
any changes in game mechanics? Serve/Return? Risk/Reward?
Sorry, my friend. But I’ve downloaded the update right now and tryed a match against Alcaraz on Expert. The AI keep the same, only returning serves down de baseline, only flatshots. Serve mechanics keep the same too. Unfortunelly.
True, also they should add on the run shots while the ball is a bit out of reach. Not just hitting the ball with an open stand position only. That’s one of the most exciting shots in tennis, a passing shot on the run while the opponent comes to net.

You are 100% wrong on PS5 i have tried numerous players like power hitters Zverev and Taylor Fritz and before last nights update they were hitting all flat shots for return of serve even doing slice returns of serve,now they are hitting more topspin shots and during rallies Zverev now hits mostly topspin shots and then mixing in the flat shots,the other night Zverev hit nearly everything into the net with hardly any long rallies now it is the opposite the cpu has even got back more dropshots using topspin instead of flat shots into the net,of course there has to be errors even in real tennis the best players can make many errors and lose matches if you watch tennis you would know that.
i am on PS5 too…nothing changed in terms of gameplay mechanics or AI…tested it for 2 hours with different players! Only thing is “stability improvements” whatever that means and the 2 new female players! AI on expert is the same as before!
I could not even play on hard and expert the speed was so fast with the missile flat returns now i can play on both difficulties,the previous patch Zverev was hitting flat shots into the net for no reason now in rallies he is using way more topspin and staying inlong rallies. Taylor Fritz return of serve was always at missile speed now he will topspin and even use slice serve returns the same goes for Zverev. I hope a lot of you guys are not just trolling for a laugh as i have commented to two of the regular Youtubers that always upload videos and they agree with me and also do not trust comments on the forums.
hmm strange…on which patch version are you exactly? 
25th September i really am so cofused like we are on two different versions,this one has 2 new female players added.
wow what cool good to know
i am on v1.0.4092 right now…and mate it’s still bad in expert for me xD AI still spamming top spin and flats with 95 percent percition like an aimbot into the corners and the middle of the bassline and AI is still stupid on short slices and dropballs xD
how to do cererr doubles ?
Trust me i am only just above average and was having all sorts of problems with the speed of the game now i am having no problem with the speed and the cpu for me are not hitting anywhere near the deep shots into the corners,i can even move forward to get closer to the net now which i was being passed all the time before,we will have to agree to diagree and leave it like that. More videos will come out on youtube wich already shows the difference.
this is a great update

So you think the same as me then that it is much different than previous patch yet why are there some on here saying there is no change in gameplay, where the cpu for me is using way more topspin shots and even using more slice shots. I am scared now that gameplay will change again where i feel it is near perfect across all difficulties but maybe could be a bit harder for top players on expert.
The gameplay has improved, but there is definitely a lot of room for improvement, and now the computer ball in front of the net is still very poor, many players still have no advantage on the serve, and the return is still invincible. So you shouldn’t be afraid of the gameplay changing again, but just keep improving.
I could not even see the ball on return of serves before it was that fast so i went back playing Medium difficulty,now the cpu is not hitting anywhere near as deep most of the time on the baseline for return of serve,now Zverev hits more topspin and many slice return of serves which i have no problem returning even on hard and expert. I have tried against power hitters like Taylor Fritz and he is the same the speed is definitely not as fast as before and i can tell you i am not better than i was 3 days ago.
thats weird…i believe you but i don’t understand why it’s not the same for me xD. Its not that i still win against expert all the time. Its just that it is unrealistic to play against Aimbot AI but ok… as i said i am on v1.0.4092 right now PS5 maybe look at your patch number if you have time to see if we are on the same version? However can we all agree that it’s more important for them to work on game mechanics as i wrote in my other post? Serve/Return(animation lock), Risk/Reward etc etc.? Btw. which youtubers/youtube videos did you watch where they play expert and it’s better? Wanna watch that too.

I agree with you i don’t like coming on fighting about our views it is just frustrating that others on Youtube are having the same experience as me. Can you tell me if most of you are using World Tour Movement now as it is near enough the same as AO2 and makes all the difference for me and i won’t go back to the tiebreak method with triggers also it looks like the cinematic scenes between points seem to be random now not every point unless we use directional pad.
