Hello guys ,i want to share my opinions how to improve your game.
Perhaps the biggest problem to make this game look like a simulation and not an arcade is serving , serve is not any advantage in the game , i win a lot of more games when i receive the serve, serve must be big advantage especially if it is player like (hurkacz , shelton , fritz , zverev …)
Second problem is when i serve my player immediately goes in front of service line , when other player return deep service my player literally returns the ball with some very strange animation , and thats advantage for receiver not server.
Playstlyes of players are the same , literaly nobody goes to the net, nobody make dropshots all player have same playstyle in real gameplay
When i edit player I can’t put the cap upside down like the dimitrov , rune etc
Game crashes offline from no reason , it happened most times on match points , throw out the error and return me to the home page of the playstation
Try to add all players in top 30 like Musetti , Bublik, Baez etc
Ball in ralies is not natural is too fast , try to slow down the ball
All fields have same speed. Hard , Grass and Clay is not the same in real life. Clay is much slower.
Sometimes refere has no sound
AI players always know where i am serving ,they move according to the style of serving
MOVEMENT ANIMATIONS
*Some big problems for are the player movement animations.
-They need to side shuffle for every shot and need to have change of direction animations like in TopSpin. Topspin has the player movements down.
-Instead of running to every shot and then doing a full turn and running back the other way when you change direction.
SHOT TYPE
-Flat shots are not worth it one bit as you mentioned. Can’t even press X ever without hitting the net 9/10 times.
-need more shot animations for each type of shot. 90% of the shots look the same as the previous and you rarely get a different animation
CUSTOMISATION/ANIMATION STYLE
-you should be able to choose your players animations (their hitting form animation, different serve animations, how they run, etc.)
-I also agree with the second post on customisation options.
I play career mode so this is needed to keep it fresh.
-Can’t give my player a backwards hat. No arm sleeve like Kargyos has.
Can’t mix and match the different sponsor shorts with another shirt that isn’t paired up with it already.
-should be able to use sponsor logos when creating your own uniform.
There is so much more swag you should be able to give your players for career mode.
OTHER
-spend skill points as you earn them, not mandatory trainings.
-my career mode player doesn’t grunt ever.
-opponents never change uniforms.
-there is not one reason to have a thumbs up or thumbs down button to celebrate or look upset. Get rid of that and just make those automatic.
***BIG PROBLEM:
-players stand there and just bob up and down after every point instead of starting to walk away or celebrate. It looks SUPER weird.
People were complaining that top spin shots were always in, now it’s impossible to get them in if the player is positioned midcourt ; they either get out or in the net with good timing ;
In online mode, if you win the tail or head and you choose to serve you will receive and vice-versa
Sometimes, when you aim to right or left, your player will still aim straight ahead;
Weird or no animation after the end of a point ( strong downgrade compared to early access where these animations were on point);
Weird slice forehand animation where the player makes a small jump to execute the slice forehand (doesn’t exist in real life tennis);
Players are sliding on all surfaces (unrealistic and it should only be possible on clay);
Sliced balls just die when landing on the ground (wrong ball physic);
Impossible to execute a powerful overhead / smash (net game)
No more charity tournaments from season 2 onwards ( therefore impossible to unlock new animations)
Sometimes bugs in press conference ( e.g., I just beat Murray but interviewer says I just beat Angela Kerber)
No modification on reputation whatsoever which stays forever neutral
Of course, players can slide, but: 1. Only a few players can do it, and almost everyone in the game is a master of sliding, which is obviously not appropriate. 2. The sliding in the game is more like ice skating, which is very different from reality, and there is no sliding mark on the venue, and there is no sliding sound in the game. The topspin2k25 are closer.
Go watch footage of medvedev, djokovic, alcaraz, monfils, sinner, rublev, de minaur, cerundolo, lehecka, nishioka, coric, mensik and so on… they all slides on hard court. The finality should be to add sliding animation specific to the surfaces not remove the sliding animation what a dumb idea. It would be the same as saying most player never do slices lets remove slices
Agreed, maybe I was being too “categorical”. However, there are way too many other bugs and I’m afraid the game will not be updated anymore. $50 down the drain…
Even if they still release some updates their unwillingness to make a realisic gameplay or to add any gameplay sliders is dooming this game without any chance to succeed from the start. Everything else is great but sadly the gameplay is still miles behind
Hello, i’m an old veteran (58) of sports games of consoles and pc.
A big issue:
We can see that the Tennis Elbow 4 has a pretty good career mode with implemented ranking-system also for “doubles”. And playable for two human players “together” !
In Tiebreak’s career mode there is only human/cpu vs … available. Very bad, because Tiebreak would be (from the graphical aspect) better than TE4.
So why not implement the Doubles career-mode with double ranking-system?
In AO2 it’s possible play human/human in career-doubles (i’m playing). But the ranking-points after each tournament are incorrectly calculated (Player 1 added, player 2 deducted) … so after each career-year you have to start again from zero, because player 2 has practically zero points .
I mentioned this because tiebreak is the successor to ao2…
