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.
