Fantastic. It would be great for 2k to get back in to some other sports too. Ready for some 2K hockey

EXCELLENT news! The last Top Spin may have been the last good tennis game. When was that released, 20 years ago?

The AO Tennis and Tennis World Tour series are AWFUL, as is Matchpoint.

Agree. I tried to play those above games, but they were dreadful. I'd love a new Virtua Tennis as well.

Pre-ordered it, ready to dig fully into it once I get back from my Biz trip.

Well, it’s been more than 10 years I guess since I played this game, and after quickly diving into it last night, 2K overall does a fine job trying to emulate the sport of tennis. In real life, the sport is difficult. So when you first play it, timing is difficult to handle but rewarding when you hit the perfect sweet spot, serving with timing and also placing is quite hard to manage unless you have the ‘Perfect shot’. And this was playing with the Pros, so once I create my player, it’ll probably be even harder to connect with the sweetspot.

I like the fact that the AI opponent has its faults too, hitting shots wide and out depending how you can move him around, unlike previous Tennis games where rallies were endless as the AI could return any shots back at you.

Graphics for today’s standards, are a bit disappointing to be frank, some players look very close to their real life appearance whether you’re a classic guy like McEnroe or today’s modern players like Medvedev or Alcaraz. But some others like Federer, misses a bit their appearance although the overall animation of their movements is there.

I’ll definitely dig more into the game today, but the most important part here is that the gameplay is solid, stadiums and presentation well done although the appearance of some players can definitely be improved.

If you like tennis, you won’t be disappointed at this game.

It really is a fantastic game in the court. Agassi looks terrible though so I’m sad.
