never, he will not come close to sampras second serve…
I only just played some doubles for the first time and see it is pointless to even play as the backhand slice is broken at the net for the AI and i put simple ones into the net also for no reason. The United Cup is useless then for the doubles,i thought the broken slice was brought up a while ago yet by the looks of it nothing has been done. Do you know if the devs are onto this ?
Hi,
in the last few days i ve revisited AO2 for a comparison, i ve forgotten how riskier is to shoot out/wide, and how sensitivity is needed to calibrate angled shots, so baseline rallies appear more realistic in my opinion.
AO2 was my favourite and the only tennis game i would play but after going back to it recently i was able to win on Grand Slam difficulty which i could not do before,so Tiebreak has made me better. AO2 has poor serving and AI dumb hitting straight back to you to make it easy when they take you out wide instead of hitting to the opposite side of court which is the logical choice. Also the smashes in AO2 have poor animations and look too fast compared to the new smashing which looks great now in Tiebreak,also the bug that was never fixed in AO2 where your player would suddenly freeze turning side on during rallies and would always lose the point. For me now Tiebreak is clearly the better and more of a challenge than AO2 and just has to fix the slicing issue amongst the overall roster.

I agree, Tiebreak is the evolution of AO2, the improvement in the movements, animations of the players, overall, is evident, except in my opinion in the rallies, in real tennis these take place mainly in the central part of the court because they are safer, then, an acceleration or a downtheline shot makes the difference, in Tiebreak shots are often immediately extremely angled, left-right effect, ever played against Rublev, Fritz, Alcaraz before the advent of slice overdose? Another example, I’m Sinner, I serve very angled, AI returns with a slow ball, I step in to the court and can win 99% with a cross backhand in topspin that reaches an impossible angle, 99%, unrealistic but possible because lacking a good calibrated risk factor, in AO2, trying the same playing, I have more probability of error.
I mean I love Tiebreak, it’s a game that, if the developers continue to refine it, will become a reference point like TS4 during 14 years.
… and sorry for my english
Does anybody know how to add playface in the game ?

Was wondering if there will be any updates to players (ratings), for the start of the 2025 season and/or throughout the season?
Hi guys, I’m just wondering how to hit an ace to the side. I’ve just hit a few with Opelka as he has a brutal serve. Does anyone have any trick for it?
no trick, u cant hit ACES with flat wide, only some luck if u stand far away
from the center line, sometimes it works

No i got a rare serve wide ace a few weeks ago and i was not even standing wide on the baseline so i was very surprised. It was more to the corner than midway on the side service line which was even more baffling,i have not got one since LOL.

This has likely been asked 1 million times, maybe anyone can answer this one. Is there any intention to have the ball boys/girls actually collect the balls?

Of cause not LOL,no tennis game would ever do that as it would be so boring waiting for them and if there was a skip button everybody would press skip. You telling me you would be happy waiting for the ball boys to run around grab the ball and hand it to you. With important things to be fixed you are thinking of this WOW.
You really caps locked the wow over someone just mentioning something huh?
You ok mate?

I am having a playful dig don’t take it so serious and i am quite ok but if that upset you i am sincerely sorry. It would be a good animation to see them move and do something like AO2 did having them hand the towel to the players which was a nice touch.

All good mate. No offence taken. Just wondered if adding some motion was going to happen eventually, no biggie.
Additional question:
Is there any scope to be able to get GripSocks in the next patch?
