PREVIEW: Top Spin 4

[djarvik]

Please, no Hack Eye!

An no foot faults, unless they let us move forward and backwards before serving.

I want to be able to customize my racket thou: type, size, grip, over-grip, strings, tension, lead tape.


....and I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PICK MY BUTT DAMMIT!

[Samael]

And the possibility to smash the raquet or to curse during a match.

that could be interesting with a 'psyche' meter or something, although i hope that isnt included.

[Vieira151]

Nah, there doesnt have to be a meter, the psyche should be in the players head

There should be a button selection right after the point is over like in SCT3 X - Calm, A - Pumped, B - Angry, Y - Throw Racquet.

These should also vary based on what you select as your players Mood Style or what ever it is(like when it says calm, normal or exuberant when creating, i cant remember exactly what it says but you should get what i mean)

I more concerned with the players movement and running to shots. This was a flaw in the TP3 gameplay. I wonder how stamina will affect the sudden stops and sprints? In TP3 this was a vulnerability and set opponent up for the top spin shot cross-court. From what I have read so far it seems as the LB+RB buttons will be left the same? There are some flaws with the use of these in movement and I wonder how they will be addressed?

Im not sure if they did, possibly. It was used in SCT3 the same, with a challenge button also being assigned to one of these buttons

yes that is nice, top spin 1 had positive and negative attitudes (they were useless though only made skipping animations between pints faster)

[beltic caldy]

i want to be able to watch replays (whole matches/sets) - my own, AND other peoples - AND i want to be able to view a live match dammit...

lol!!!!

And a nice red ferarri, a new snooker table, 10 years of life.....

Yes and online dubs, like in VT series.
Another thing I hope they improve on is the way strokes (BH, FH, Serve) are produced. VT3 did it well for almost all their pro characters.

[SoundfSilence]

Sounds good so far I like that they are trying to get the balance of Sim and casual play.

From the pictures available, we have Blake, Tsonga and Sampras?

[NEUTRONOStar]

May i ask

Why 2K changed there mind i thought it was a no brainer for them has the ITST team been pressuring

[Samael]

And the most important thing: I DON'T WANT A MUTANT in the game!!!!

[Pocho89]

I hope there will be a better edit.
For example more hair, caps, shirt, shorts, and and the addition of hair bands like Federer or bands for bald like Blake.
What do you think?
