agreed. I'm in if we do it.

I just got an e-mail about a new version of Tennis Elbow.

Im not sure if it's any good because I haven't downloaded it yet.
There is also a Mac version.

I did too. I liked it in the 2-D mode. I am pretty much sure that I will like the 3-D better. Heh.

I see that you can play on the ladies and men's tour. I am sad that I have to buy the game at $44.55 USD or so. I have a copy of the TE 2006. I thought that I can get an additional discount for that. The link is not working.

I have been playing DMT now for a few days . Somehow the game seem simpler then TS3 .
You can easier just hit a shot , and the pity thing is that you can't choose many different shots but somehow the game just feels more like tennis then any other game thats out there. And although it's pretty easy to hit a ball to actually win a match or a rally against a good player it is a long way to go.
Although I love TS3 with all the games that have been out on the consoles i many times think 'Ugh, that shot would never be possible ' .
And certain things are just too easy to pull off.

DMT rocks. I wish some new tennis game comes out with these controls and gameplay.

I am not a fan of the control-system for Dream Match Tennis. I wish that they can change the courts as you move along in to next tournaments.

What you don't like about the control system?

Well, it is my opinion really. I just feel that the movement is sluggish for the way opponents hit the balll back to you.

About time I move to the ball, it already bounced one time on my side of the court!! LOL.

Well the game is very different then the TS series in the sense you follow the movement/ direction of the ball and get in position that way and you basicly start hitting when the ball bounces . Cause you only concentrate on the front swing .

So first get in position then when the ball bounces you hit the ball. Try and fly :-)

I always preferred it over the TS controls.

Yes. Now, I know what you mean about it being more realistic. That is how we play tennis in real life. Hehe.

I will email this valuable information to myself; so, I can remember this.

Yeah I never understood the the TS controls. TS3 did a good job in realism but still the controls are a bit funky. And painfull to the fingers :-)

by **Rob ITST** » Sat, 03 Jan 2009 03:24

I think I like the TS3 controls more than what DMT uses. It's just the fact that you can move with or without taking the racquet back, so it's possible to run around your backhand.

by **ANILTJE** » Sat, 03 Jan 2009 03:50

They should combine the controls.
I like that DMT is about the swing forward and how fast you swing it forward. If you do it too fast the ball goes out ( of course ) and same goes for too late . In TS3 that happens very rarely. In DMT perfect timing will result in perfect placement , in TS3 perfect timing results rather in more power.
But DMT lacks the control of the swing backwards.

In TS3 I like that they concentrated on how well you prepare the shot with the swing backwards but you have again 0 control on how swing forward . Plus it hurts my fingers. Like all TS series do. :lol:

When I read at first that TS3 was all about the backswing I was hoping the player would only start swinging back when I would push the button. But it turned out that charging the shot has to be done even before the player does a backswing.
In TS4 they should give more control on when I push to swing back and also on the control of swinging forward and most of all placement.

DMT lacks the variety of shots but if you play it well you can create them by perfect timing. Which in the end needs more skills and control.

TS3 is genius that you need to look at the bounce of the ball something DMT clearly lacks.

I agree with you on the DMT. I am hoping that they change it a bit. Also, I would not hurt for them to improve the courts. Hehe.

It is the admins' call. It does not seem to have much players? It is good to see a list of those who are interested.

I think I would try it out to see if I want to play for the tour that is yet pending.
