Top Spin 5

Lol, true especially if all four players are in different time zones

For practise matches 4 console doubles will be great. Would be great fun. As a tour i doubt it would work. Two times the scheduling difficulties.

For sure me and darkpaladin would barely have lost a doubles match with our SV skills

Villa I hope you have signed up to the TS3 Olympics, I'll be the only SV'er otherwise.

What's this then? I haven't entered a tour match for about a year, hard to get the time. I plus haven't really played ts3 since 4 came out. Will get practicing

Well the tour ended so I don't think anyone has entered a TS3 tour match in over a year ha. But yeah the Olympics is being held for TS2 and 3. I just got back into the swing of things on TS3 and everything is coming back to me including risk timing I've had a few 1 setters with Coke4 and willjonesjr with SV and I'm still competitive with. willjonesjr score was 5-7 and coke4 was 3-6. 1 Break of my serve in each set soo not to bad at the moment.

I really wonder which pros will still be around in 2014 and which pros they are going to sign up.

Hello, Guys!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, after graduation, I'm working hard, but I still have to admire the breathtaking series TOP SPIN offline. Hehehehehe
It seems that the next game, TOP SPIN 5, is a reality for the next generation of consoles (PS4 and XBOX . I think many of the suggestions are always interesting. I decided to make a list of some things that I think is important for the future TOP SPIN 5 (the next gen consoles are next!!)
CAREER MODE
• HAWK EYE on Hard and Grass; CHAIR UMPIRE in Clay - It is essential. The HAWK EYE put more emotion at key moments during the match at Hard and Grass (Minors tournament would not have HAWK EYE) - Three challenges for each, CHAIR UMPIRE speaking: PLAYER 1, TWO CHALLENGE REMAIN. Hehehehehehehe On clay, with the processing power of Next Gen Consoles, the CHAIR UMPIRE could have a physical animation to go down and check a dubious mark the Line Umpire in Clay. (It would be FANTASTIC!!)
• BALL BOYS and BALL GIRLS (In MUTUA MADRID OPEN Hehehehe) - THE NEXT GEN CONSOLES of believe that finally we can see BALL BOYS / GIRLS picking up balls and handing Linen.
• CALENDAR - The calendar in 4 TOP SPIN was interesting, but it would be cooler based on a calendar week of each month. Freedom to play all the tournaments this month, but the TOTAL Stamina should influence the chances of injury and physical fatigue. Pre-Tournament Events, and Special Sparring should remain (very nice!!)
• TIME IN COURT, STAMINA AND INJURIES - 2K needs to attend to, depending on the status of the setup for each player, tennis player to take more TIME IN COURT to win a match has influence on Stamina for the next match and so on – TIME IN COURT until you reach the final of the tournament should influence. The number of tournaments played should influence the INJURIES. Players with more stamina would be better conditioned and prepared to move forward - Tennis The current is very physical, except FEDEX. Hehehehehehehe
• COACHS - The system coachs could stay, I would be adding an animation to see the COACH encouraging the player in the stands.
• UNFORCED ERRORS - The System TOP SPIN 3 was more interesting. It was UNFORCED ERRORS NET/OUT more frequent. 2K bring this back. PLEASE!!
• 2K PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE 2K!!! Licenses for the SUPER NINE. Able licenses for the 9 Masters 1000. PLEASE!!!!

Hawkeye is not needed, constant challenges would only disrupt the flow of the game. And by nature a CPU controlled umpire and linesman never makes a wrong call.

I'm all for more tournaments though, just being able to play one tournament per month is lame. And split the damn ATP and WTA a bit more (no Monaco Masters on WTA tour etc.) Of course you'd need all the licenses.

Congrats on your graduation. As for your post i disagree with a few points but i respect your opinion as i know mine is so geared towards ITST i do not really care about the rest. Things like visuals ( ball boys), a bigger roster, time on court (for online tournaments) and a bigger career mode calender do not interest me even slightly. I just want to create my own player geared to my own playing style and take him online to compete with others in a game with an exciting gameplay. On the proper courts might be worth it yes.

What you describe for the multiplayer tournaments almost sounds like a MMOTG(massive multi online tennis game). A virtual realization of the real world where your player is affected with everything you do. I do not think this would be so loved by a lot of players. Most players of TS i know are either interested in playing some sort of ranked tour where they can either cheese their asses of or not or just play friendlies with players they know. Ive never heard a player say he'd love to have his player pull out of a ranked match due to an injury.

As for the hawkeye i am only a fan of it if there is actually a need for it. So if the call of the referee in the game is always right why bother implementing any hawkeye possibilty? Now if the referee in the game is actually mistaken a percentage of the time i would agree. But i get back to the online community in this argument. I doubt many could appreciate such a mechanic in a game.

I agree about the unforced errors and will top it. The risk shot has to return in some fashion in the series. Taking risk in certain moments in a tenis game is a must and is part of the game. Going for the lines, putting extra power or spin into a shot. I dont care how they implement it but in the end this is what adds depth and thus replayability to a game. In the end it is important that the way they implement it creates a game where matches have a believable ue rate. TE11 can do it so why not TS?

Lastly they should make ITST the official online tournament tour, put us on the game box and give us some sort of moderation rights in the game. One can dream no?

An optional Hawley simulator could be included. Such as if it was turned on, and a ball that is fractionally in or out could be called one way, and a player would automatically challenge, but for those couple of seconds you will think ooooh was it in or out? The computer will never get it wrong, it would just be a nice touch I think.
