Maybe when you only look at the gameplay and don’t care about career mode.
In Career mode at most points AO 2 is still the better game.
For example , AO 2 :
Has a bigger schedule to choose from, including the Futures.
You can make your own roster of players or choose from a large community download.
You can download and use venues from almost every tournament there is.
At replays the ball is visible.
You can choose an audio name for your created player.
You can choose the outfit your opponent is wearing and so choose the white outfits for Wimbledon.
There are sliders to adjust ball en game speed.
You can choose to use a ball marker or not .
When you win the match you don’t celebrate it by bending over and show the crowd your …
You can challenge a call.
And I know that at slams and the bigger ATP and WTA tournaments line persons are replaced by the hawkeye system , but smaller tournaments like challengers still have them. And in case of no line persons I would want to see the close call balls in a replay.
So these are some examples why I think AO 2 and even AO 1 is the better game.
I love AO2 and that is the only tennis game i would play even over Topspin 4 but even with those elements missing in Tiebreak after revisiting AO2 last week and beating Grand Slam difficulty on first try i realised that since last patch the gameplay is way way better than AO2 and i did not think i would say that,Tiebreak’s AI is much more unpredictable now than AO2 and i am only just getting wins now on Hard difficulty,and to say AO1 is even better than Tiebreak makes you look silly as AO1 is not good at all compared to AO2. So you favour elements missing from past games over far better gameplay and real ATP and WTA courts we can play in other modes plus a real tournament event mode we have in Tiebreak to say they are still better,i can’t wait for the rest of the regulars to reply to this.
well, regarding the sliders I agree with you, there will be always issue with the pace of TIEbreak , some want faster, others want it slower, sliders should be added for shot power also, and customization for the current roster in offline mode should be added
I think calling names is not needed. But if you want to go that way , fine . I think you should buy reading glasses or ones better then you have now.
I clearly stated that I am taking about career mode not gameplay. And most if not all the points I gave are in AO1 also better then in Tiebreak. So read my points again and tell me in what points Tiebreak is better then AO1
I know exactly what you meant but cannot understand how you can live in the past and cannot enjoy just playing actual tennis in Tiebreak. We all want sliders and it has already been mentioned they are coming down the track and what you are saying maybe correct about career which i don’t have an interest in anyway,i just want to pick the game up and enjoy playing matches in Play Now and the Tournament Mode,i think we are both taking each other out of context,sorry if you took it the wrong way. We have a promising update coming this week not sure about career but be sure the devs are trying to keep everyone happy and all parts of the game will be looked at.
My first line was : Maybe when you only look at the gameplay and don’t care about career mode .
Referring to the remark that Ao2 is out dated game right now, tiebreak is way better.
So obviously you don´t care about career and that is fine. And I don´t care about playing with a star player against another star player and that should also be fine.
The only thing I am really interested in is the career mode and from that point of view Tiebreak is lacking a lot.
Why there is no more possible to play human/human vs cpu in doubles careermode? In ao2 we are playing together… in tiebreak you can’t assign the 2nd controller!
Sorry but I know you can play doubles in career mode but not that it is possible in the way you describe. I know it is possible to play human /human vs AI in the “Play now” mode of AO 2.
But I can imagine it is a nice feature and would even be nicer if you also would have a separate doubles career with doubles rankings.
Trust me, we are playing doubles in career in ao2! In ranking selecting partner and before match you can assign 2nd controller. The human-partner remain fir the hole year! The only problem is that the ranking-points you gain (as selected partner) are deducted instead of adding. But we play together the hole season.
As I think of it , I always wondered why I had to choose a side for my controller before a double match in career. Now that makes sense. And I can imagine that you miss this in Tiebreak. Did you sent a ticket in ?
We get to all tickets as we can and there is never an ETA depending on the severity of the ticket. TIEBREAK’s Career was designed with a single-player focus in mind as there are things that would be incompatible with a 2 player career. We’ll pass this on as feedback for review to the team to see if this is something that may be able to be added in the future.
Well nothing more you can do. But the answer does not looks promising. I do wonder why it would be so incompatible and hard to add because in AO 2 it worked sort off well except for the point counting. We just have to wait and see.
Do the devs know about the crowd sound almost cutting out at the end of points as though it is a handful of spectators clapping,it seems a bit off and don’t know if it should be happening as most of the time it is a full stadium cheering.,this is on PS5 don’t know if it is the same on all devices.
Malene Helgo highest ranking 317 and there is around 35 players in the top 100 not in the game, i still appreciate any players being added within reason and i know all the 100 can’t be added as we were told the player has to agree to be put in the game but there would have to be higher ranked players that are possible to be added. Please Elena Rybakina and Gael Monfils soon as other players say their animations are in the game, not sure about Monfils though.
She is under wta licence and obviously has agreed to be in the game , so why shouldn’t she be added? Not everyone always wants to use the top players, be cool to use a player like this and do a career and make her number 1 etc . The bigger the roster the better so complaining about any inclusion is a bit ridiculous really.
