i agree, you don’ t have enough time,seconds, for a strategy, so left right left. And we need AI errors!
why its not possible to hot ace with flat wide sever lol, the DEVS confirmed slider will be coming after 2 weeks
that s a real turn of screw
Mike Merren has said last night mini patch was not any gameplay changes just sponsers and clay textures so what are you talking about with ruining the gameplay with it,i just played 10 minutes and it feels just the same as Nov 28 update

@JNT_BA Last update was a much better improvement regarding gameplay. Still some work to do on the netplay. Can the following be addressed:
-
Player Attribute Ratings - why can’t we edit individual attributes/skill just like we could on AO2? This means we are unable to create realistic players and have to use generic ratings which are usually the same and can’t create unique players.
-
Djokovic ratings - how did current variant Djokovic get downgraded to 92 and Sinner is now rated higher? Djokovic should still be rated higher unless he doesn’t win anything in 2025.
And how is his 2007-2012 variant only 91 rated? His current variant should be 94, with 2007-2012 variant 95 rated. Then other variants can be higher as he is the GOAT.
- Sleeve logos - the sleeve logos that have been migrated from AO2 do not fit properly. Can this please be fixed.

I have to admit, I’m having a lot of fun with this game, when TOSPIN2K25 came out there was so much disappointment and I had lost hope of being able to play a new tennis game and continue with the old Topspins and AO2, I thank the developers for their efforts and I now hope for the ultimate leap in quality with the implementation of more errors by the AI.

true , finally we have tennis game with real roaster , in addition to adding al errors which is a must , it would be nice if they allow us to modify the roster outfits so we can add the missing ones
Alot of good updates lately. Only some small issues in gameplay, but the career mode is still lacking alot.
Gameplay:
- AI errors (line errors)
- AI Serves (serves same spot and same type of shot every game, needs variaty, then gameplay will also be varied)
- AI a little bit too agressive on net, like a wall, and smash every lob
Career:
- +/- does not work after first season
- Players and tournaments statistics. Tournaments you attend and did not attend, what happend when you did not attend Paris 1000, who won f.ex? And how did a player do this season?
- Head to Head statistics
- XP only work by playing match after match, and when you are at level 24 as i am, I only get 1000 XP for a 250 Quarter, and need 22000 to get 3 skillpoints so i can adjust Power level 11 once, and then get overall 65, then play 20 new matches to get 23000, and another 3 skillpoints so I can get overall 66… I can play on hard and win every tournament, but whats the fun with that.
- Management need improvement, not only for fatique.
- Reputation does not work
- Need to develop as a player in many ways, not only playing matches. (Trainer, Management, XP Bonus of some sort)

The game is good, the gameplay is quite addictive, but the fact that there are no unforced errors by the AI makes everything fall. Add the errors of the player who is guided by the AI. Please

AI does hit into the net and can hit long but very rare if ever hits the ball wide. I play on Hard difficulty and still struggle but i still love it because it is addictive unlike Topspin 2K25 which is slow and boring.

why the players bags do not show in the created venues during the gameplay? plz add it , also add the ability to edit/create outfits for the existing roster at least in offline modes, same thing for the courts so we can keep updating the sponsors without waiting for the devs

Agree with some of the latest comments. I’m finding the game very addictive right now. Put some more hours in this weekend and really enjoyed it. I had dropped down to the hard difficulty after a recent update but I’m back up to expert now and winning/losing matches in equal measure. The matches are super close and it gets really tense. Great fun.
I don’t know if it’s just me but net play seems to be improved? I may have missed this in a previous patch but it feels much better now to me. I’m finding I can get to the net now and smash volleys whenever the cpu plays a defensive shot. It’s really satisfying. Before the lag/unresponsiveness at the net made it impossible to power up a shot so the opponents return would just go sailing past me. But now it feels more responsive?
I’d still like to see a greater variety of animations and some better animations for volleys when you’re really close to the net and tapping X (ps5) rather than powering up. These kind of volleys feel a bit limp/generic and could use a bit more speed/power at times or more precise placement with an animation that reflects the deftness of touch.
I’m still suffering from the inability to return opponent slices/drop shots. No matter how close I am to the ball or how early I arrive at it, no shot animation is triggered from my input and my player just runs around aimlessly on the spot.
AI unforced errors still non existent. Frustrating to get to the end of matches and see stats which say the AI had 0 unforced errors compared to however many I had. This still needs fixing. Some wide and long errors for the CPU please!
Still can’t ace out wide. Would love to see this addressed so I’m not just serving to the same place every time.
Looking forward to future updates but really hoping the positive steps are not undone.

Totally agree! Having the same impressions. Hoping to see those changes soon!!
I asked Mike Merren in the early days of AO Tennis (first version, and on a non-Big Ant forum) if its possible to add sidespin to all shots as all the shots were perfectly straight each time, he agreed it was needed, and within a few updates, the ball was swerving just like in real life on ALL shots. AO Tennis 2 then had this by default, followed up by Tennis World Tour 2 also having it.
Tiebreak has nicely curving slices now, and the only thing still MISSING in this game, is topspin/normal ground strokes having sidespin on them, and this is the MISSING realism in this game that spoils things for me currently they all fly 100% in a straight line…so please Mike, if you are reading this, can you start to implement sidespin to these other main strokes please, even if, as in the Cricket games, its only subtle but can be seen on slow replays with the ball spinning on an off angle, and in flight the ball doing a Nadal down the line swerving out and then in again at times.
Other than this being missing, I feel Tiebreak has 100% nailed it on all aspects and the overall game is fluidity in motion.

Can someone explain why the top women have the highest power ratings in the game above the men as it makes no sense,or is a 92 with women not the same as 92 with men. UPDATE i checked and it sounds as though it is true Sabalenka hits faster flat shots than Alcaraz,Sinner and Djokovic with Coco Gauff and Swiatek right up there in power also,i knew Coco served over 200 km but those girls hit flatter and the men use more spin with their shots making them slower,this is in an article on the internet.

Hello Big Ant,
I only play in career mode with a created player, I also restarted plenty of time after major updates to appreciate the changes. I noticed this points to correct:
Alternative versions of players (djokovic, Nadal, Murray etc) unlocked are not available in career mode, it will be cool if you can choose the version you want to encounter when you start the career
The coolest point of the career mode is that it includes created an downloaded players and offer the possibility to play against them along the year : indeed we can play one round against Sinner and the next one against a created Alex Corretja and see dreaming encounters like Kuerten VS Nadal in our tournament BUT THERE IS A DAMNED BUG that involves the disappearance of all the created/downloaded roster when you reach the second season !!! (experienced 5 times) fix it please!!! Like everyone I think, I don’t care about a Evans or Hijikata if I can have Agassi, Sampras or Edberg to play with in Australian open even if it’s a created one!
We also need the possibility to see the results of tournaments we haven’t play and the other players results by clicking on them in the rankings like a bio (it will be very immersive)
You gave us the opportunity to create a carreer including all the greatest tennis players of all time at once, it’s very frustrating to see them disappear! Fix it and with the improvements you made and you are going to make about gameplay, animation, outfits, major tournaments you will have the greatest tennis game of all-time!
Thank you

I was having good matches on Medium difficulty before last updates and now i cannot believe how bad the CPU is as it will not chase any balls down,no varying gameplay the opposite to how i praised it previously. I am usually the last person to complain the game is easy but i even feel Hard difficulty is not as hard as before,the CPU seems slower when pushing them out wide then are unable to get to the other side of the court and that is with topspin shots only,yet i could hardly win a match before,i will start doing more full matches on Hard with different player match ups and see if i still lose matches. The flat shot really needs to be slowed down 15 to 20% when we fully power up as it is too fast and accurate against the cpu yet i can overpower topspin shots to go long often.
As per the Devs, this patch did not change the gameplay, however there is some kind of bug in the game , sometimes the CPU will play different on the same difficulty level, choose hard for example, somitmes the CPU will be very difficult to beat, smtimes so easy, I had this issue since last week update, same for the pace of the game , its changing so weird, hope next week sliders will resolve this issue
