I like Gulbis.

Yeah, he is a good player man, for sure.

Yeah, I asked Djarvik if we could keep that page to reveiws only. I think it would be a good idea for people who are thinking of buying the game to find a page with a lot of user reviews like that.

Please if you have time, do post your review on that thread:

http://www.intertopspintour.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14082

It doesn't have to be long. But if you do post something there, please make an attempt at giving a useful review for someone who is thinking of buying the game.

Im absolutely loving the game. Got the game at 1 this afternoon and went on a little playing spree. Before i knew it Ajax began playing at 7. Almost missed the beginning as i was playing an intense match with Agassi vs Federer on very hard.

For me personally this game is a home run. I dont care much for pro's in the game or having the right racket/wristband for each player. I just want enjoyable gameplay and this game has it. I am excited to find out how the online experience is.

One question though. It has been mentioned on this forum before but i am wondering if others experienced it as well. Sometimes the serve just goes the opposite way as i intended. For example i press the stick left and the serve goes to the right of the box. You could say the game did not pick up on the command (perhaps i was to soon in pressing left) but i have a feeling this aint it. That is because the serve does have direction (to the right). If the game didnt pick up on the command it would just scream down the center of the box. There might be a little bug there.

Hmm, never had that happen to me...

It must be a bug in one of the Euro versions!

Definitely, it was a pre-order bonus in the UK.

it happened to me as well. In the demo and in the full game. It seems it happens when you release the direction too soon, then the game sometimes mess up and go the other way. I also found it weird. So now i press the direction all the way until the ball leaves the racquet.
Also am i the only one having small freezes even offline? they werent there in the demo and installing the full game to hard disk reduce it a bit but it is still there sometimes when you hit a winner you have a "time freeze" for a brief moment.

Can't find any better words to describe it so I simply echo your HELL YES!!!

Although it wasn't until I played an online match with a friend, Simon vs. Agassi in the O2 arena, that I really was feeling the hell yes! It blew my mind how good the game felt then and there!

I have those little freezes to. Only when you hit a big winner. Perhaps there is a little load time for a certain animation?

Just felt I had to do it. Been spending ALOT of time with the game since thursday neglecting both my wife and daughter, so I hade to do something productive of it. Now I feel better about myself. But I had a master plan. My wifes sister came to visit us the entire weekend. So she got alot of time with my wife and daughter and I stayed out of the way. A win-win situation. :wink:

An addition/edit to my review. I wrote that I haven't noticed any sliding forward to a ball on clay. I have seen this now, or at least diagonally forward, and it looks/feels great!

One thing i think i have noticed :
Playing the CPU on Pro level is useless : The AI starts moving between the moment when you release the button and when your player swing his shot...
I guess that it's for the same kind of "technical" reasons we can be "wrongfooted" that often (apart from when you play bad... like me!)... The moment when the device "get" our moves is not fine (Sorry, that's not clear, but that's my best in that language

)
