honestly i'm waiting for it in great expectation

Right analog stick for controlling shots? hmmmm interesting.

[esorcista]

If they can create a good gameplay as Top Spin 4 I'm sure I'll buy it! EA usually pays more attention on the online game so it will be even better than top spin

I'll try to find the thread were we discussed this type of layout. Personally - I think its "MONEY"!

Damn, took them long enough!
The trailer looks soo awesome, just look at those graphics!
The ESPN lisense will also make this game really nice, I'm begging for ONLINE DOUBLES for 4 CONSOLES!
By Top Spin, say hello to Grand Slam Tennis!

Exited by this news, no more cartoon animations, inovative controls,great Rosta and all round fresh approach.

[patko7]

This game will be the best tennis game ever hehe
Yes everyone hopes it too, there will be online doubles for 4 players.
If EA can get Wimbledon then doubles for sure.

I guess many are excited about these controls, especially those Top Spin veterans, but I'm a Grand Slam Tennis veteran (well, I still play it!) and I'm really excited about the PS Move controls.

In Grand Slam Tennis on Wii the motion controls were good, but only few players really invested time to master the motion controls. It really depended on the player how much spin was on the ball, how well that slice was hit, if enough spin is on the lob etc. Especially mastering the flat shots or volleying was difficult.

With PS Move I expect the motion controls to be a lot better - Table Tennis in Sports Champions has shown what PS Move is capable of!

For the online mode I hope they make it as in GST on Wii with two or three changes:

1. Make separate online modes for pro and created characters.

2. Punish players who quit during the match, so that they lose points in the rankings (in GST one could quit a match if only one point was played without losing the match).

3. Players with different controls (PS Move vs. gamepad) should not be paired up against each other if one proves to be better than the other.

Double for 4 consoles is sure. It's EA.
You are too much excited.
The game will come out in 6-10 months.

Except to say that they are doing a tennis game, this trailer is useless, it shows absolutely zero gameplay ! If a video like that can make you so excited, I'm sure I could make you buy a lot of Barbie Horse Adventures games

As a person that plays only tennis games - ANY new tennis games makes me excited. And when you add EA into equation - I better go get a paper towel.

I have the same effect when I see myself in a mirror.

I don't know how Grand Slam Tennis 1 was for the Wii but I hope they have the big rosters of Top Spin 4 and their 1st game roster, that will be great especially as they have also not just the center courts but also the smaller ones, with another gameplay even I as a not that tennis fan would think of that

Thanks, I was going to ask if you could do so.


In my head I'm already making a list of demands lol
