Top Spin 3 is much better

[djarvik]

there is something about the serve/return aspect in TS4 that is way off...

Agreed 100%. The slower the serve the more it is effective is as moronic as it gets.

With TS4 i get bageled every single day, that never happened with TS3, it's also true that i hardly play 1-2 hours per week, but it's because i don't like it, i don't have any fun, and this is not gonna change

[Puttu puttuu]

So we are getting half a game basically.

OUCH !

[Moralspain]

TS4 is an arcade type game, that simple, we talk about banning coaches, SIM tour etc blabla but there's sentence which express very well all this "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig", that's TS4 for me.

That's hawt!


Anyways, I agree Djarvik. I didn't ever not agree with what you have been saying. Just pointing out my thoughts on the what I like more in each.

This is one of my biggest problems with TS4. Slower serves are more effective than fast serves. That's thinking backwards. Also, the fact that you can't hit return winners off someone with 45pts in serve. Returning is way too easy as well. You can place the ball wherever you want off the return with 0 risk involved.

If the game had more errors, and certain aspect of it were tweaked, then it could be really good.

I have to agree with you there djarvik

this is so true, there are just no errors

all shots should have a risk aspect based on timing perhaps. some shots should have more chance of risk than others. for example, a power shot would have a more sensitive risk factor, needing perfect timing most of, if not, all the time. compared to a control shot which could have more room for error on the timing.

to be honest a risk button would make the game quite alot better i think, would be very useful if your against a player with a 90+ power , most of their shots are like risk anyway lol

Is the slow serve thing only an issue for custom players? Because I play mostly with pros, and I have no problem putting slow serves away.

im talking about "super slow" serves....like the 73mph on the line serve

Totally agree. It would be perfect if a power shot just go inside the lines when timed good or perfect. The control shots could have a bigger margin of error, but sure needs more unforced errors too.

I also believe that the fantastic angles that some players can aply are annoying. They are far away from reality. These shots should be the ones with the biggest risk factor.

To finish, I agree with the serve/return issue. It´s very frustrating to hit a 130mph serve in the corner (wich is very more difficult after the system update) and receive a killer return and, on the other hand, to put a weak second serve and not being attacked. It totally changes the logic of tennis serve.

Changing some of this issues the game would not be perfect, but would far better.

people put my slow serves away with power slices, usually ends the point right there.
