Tennis is my third favourite sport and considering the best simulations of my two favourite sports are f2p, there's no way I'm going to spend that much on TopSpin.
I've played Tennis professionally and looking at the animations this game is just... grueling. Besides maybe Roger (which is odd considering he's been motion captured), and even his movements are not amazing, most players strokes look like a regular sunday player. No sense of ball weight, power in the strokes, or even the movement inside the court. Even the first TopSpin on the OG Xbox had better feeling animations. What a shame.
The ball boys/ girls are pointless, they don't collect the ball. The crowd are cardboard cutouts, none of the players look nothing like their real life counterparts.

If you don't want to step onto the Wimbledon pitch in a random selection of clothes from the nearest second-hand store, you need VC. You can buy three pairs of tennis socks for the equivalent of 5 euros. If you want to level up your attributes faster, you need VC. If you want to change your attributes later, you need VC.

It would be cool to have a button you could mash giving you the option to either throw your racket on the ground, away, or simply bash it repeatedly by mashing another button!
We’ve been starved of great tennis games for more than a decade, am glad the only issues sound like currency nonsense they can prob patch or just fix on the next instalment.
This is what among games too expensive to make created . Everything has to be big budget to try to make a profit .. The gaming generation is moving too quickly . Franchises are not having a chance to come back and small companies are not having the chance to build and thrives and become somebody .
Scam don’t buy it. Play top spin 3 if you can and be frustrated that in 2024, no one could make a proper tennis game after that… after almost 20 years 😅😅😅😅
The game plays fantastic. The roster is disappointing. The career mode is interesting, but the drills are repetitive. Overall, it’s fun to play both in and out of career mode, but the roster is embarrassingly poor on the men’s side
25$ Is the real price that this is worth. Without Sinner, the best player of the world and future n.1 in the next days not in the roster, this is destined to fail😅

This game desperately needs community creations like the WWE series. 7 male players is shocking
Tennis games have always had this weird issue of not getting buy-in from a lot of the top pros.
More players coming throughout the year, this game is gonna be a yearly release going forward
There’s 11 male players- Alcaraz, Federer, Medvedev, Agassi, Sampras, Murray, Fritz, Shelton, McEnroe, Tiafoe, Berrettini.

So you’re against companies selling things that don’t impact gameplay?
Hate the shot meter.
Basically just makes it feel like your meter watching rather than actually focusing on the ball etc

@@Kubilay-he2qc yeah every sport game is the same now. Bit of worse graphics and more in game purchases. Literally any of the sport game from 18-25
Looks like a fun 2k tennis game.... on a deep sale for $20, which coincidentally should be around next week with how fast these games drop in price.
The ball boys/ girls are pointless, they don't collect the ball. The crowd are cardboard cutouts, none of the players look nothing like their real life counterparts.
they shoulda just remastered top spin 4 from 2011... best tennis game ever made for consoles.
Virtual Currency is the spawn of the devil 😈
2011 called and they want their graphics back.
Gameplay too, cuz this looks horrid
It’s terrible they are money grabbing twats
64 pounds too 🤣 for this game
And they also want their animations back. Totally inaccurate back then, 13 years later they are still the same.

Graphics aren't really impressive. What a shame, expected native 4K textures in 2024.
You'd expect Unreal Engine 5 in 2024 but we still get these PS2/PS3 games. Horrible. And a decent graphics card costs $2-3k.
Looks no better than the original Top Spin.
Verdict - 7/10
- Solid, smooth gameplay
- Fun career mode
- Lots of Courts
- very few actual players
- Weird VC
- A little rough around the edges
Wait for a sale.
You’re welcome.
5/10 best
Does it has online mode where you play with other players?
Pretty lazy to no render the individual trophy's
The whole game has the same animations from Top Spin 4. So what should anyone expect.
2k does terrible with VC also in NBA 2K. 2K charges you 25k VC for a jacket meanwhile you earn 800VC a game
That…That’s Pete Sampras?
No.

It’s a refined top spin 4… not what a 13 year wait should have been. Far from it but it has scratched the itch to a degree.
