TieBreak - SF (Wimbledon) - Expert (EA6) / Another GS final booked / Maria Sakkari

SF Wimbledon / Sakkari vs Stephens - 6-1 6-0 (Expert)
Hi all, I’m a casual gamer that mainly plays FM, but after finding this gem of a game I’ve decided to upload some TieBreak content for viewing.
This will be following my progress in my first Career Tournament playing on the Expert Difficulty (I’ve progressed from easy, to now dipping my toes into Expert).
So for me this is quite a challenge, and I’m finding this at about the right level for my amateurish skills. So my game style tries to keep things simple, serve & volley.
This is also my first time playing on the fine Wimbledon grass.
I’m also going through the career mode with the Greek Goddess Maria Sakkari. Upon full release, my plan is to create my own player and play the men’s career mode.

I came up against Stephens in this one. A bit lower ranked to what I expected to see in the Semi’s, and although again there were a few nice points from Stephens there were no problems progressing through to the finals.

Enjoyed this - however so many inaccuracies. Wimbledon in real life has minimalistic advertising, an all white dress code, it’s normally pouring down with rain and not once does the camera pan to the celebrities in the royal box as it would in real life. Also, the grass is in pristine condition compared to what it should be like for a semi final at Wimbledon. Where’s all the foot marks? And what’s with the white perimeter fence and where’s the ballboys and ballgirls. Not to mention the line judges?
Disappointed with the lack of realism but the tennis players look authentic enough and they actually move and play like proper players unlike previous tennis games to be fair.

The game is still in early access, so I would like to think it will only improve. I believe there are plans to bring in ballboys / girls / line judges down the line, and also possibly the ability to challenge calls.
It's due to release 22.8.24, so I guess we'll know a bit more by that time with how the game will end up playing overall, with perhaps some patches down the line to tidy / tweak things.
But gaming wise, I'm definitely enjoying playing the matches - the difficulty is the most pressing issue though. Hopefully once the core game is in a good state, the fine details that would be appreciated will look to be implemented.
