What happened with Topspin 4???

[Daxter1975]

I despair against the most WT Players since a few Weeks.

Why?

Because i think the game has changed:

- Cross Passing Shots are now unbelievable good
- Power Slice Shots are faster than a Flat
- Approached Shots are hell
- a few new Shots have come into the game
- approach drop shots (!!!!)
- approach slice powershots
- approach cross passing shots
- slow players (with speed 40) runs like Usain Bolt
- Stamina does not effect any more (i don´t see a difference of a full stamina or low stamina line)
- Topspin Shots are perfect Passing Shots
- If first volley is not perfect, is it unbelievable hard to win the point in every situation
- Lobs are easier to play. You can play it from every position with error quote from under 10%
- perfect timed shots goes out
- players with 40 volley skill can play very good brutal volleys and volleys stops
- it´s nearly imppossible to game to the net from a baseline duell, because the shots are to fast and the passing shots to accurate


Or i am aged over night???

Why don't you play Tennis Elbow ? You will not have that kind of problems anymore.

- I've done lot of approach drop shots since the start. These approach shots aren't new to me (just that no-one think of those shots).
- I'm sure of the contrary but it might be psychological.
- As always, no ?
- Easier ? I thought everyone agreed that they're easier since the last patch ?
- I remember an online game when I've played very good brutal volleys with Neuwirth (39 volley). And I remember facing an OBL opponent who have played some better volleys than me (thought I controlled a S&V player). (May I point out that those very good volleys were made after a very good serve ?)

You'll have to deal with crappy animation and timing though.

Love the basic animations of TS4, but the stroke/serve animations of TE are pure genius. TS4 could learn a lot, for sure.

[C4iLL]

The animations with the ITST mod are far better and realistic that what you find in TS4. Try Federer or Gasquet in TE, it's a real pleasure to hit BH with them

[Corbon]

Less animation frames, clunkier sprites and whenever you hit the ball it looks like the character hits the ball with everything but the racquet. Also the way the ball flies around the court reminds me of Virtua Tennis.

The best thing about Tennis Elbow is the ability to customize the hell out of it but that is true for every PC game.

Really sounds like you're talking about TE2006, not TE2011...

Everything you said has either been the case for a while

"Cross Passing Shots are now unbelievable good"

or not true at all

"Power Slice Shots are faster than a Flat"

And on the animation debate tennis elbow does win on swing/serve animation, but is completely destroyed by topspin 4 on player movement and ball racket contact realness.
