Couldn't agree more. Smart move on their part. Nothing against Bjorg or Becker, but Agassi's much more recognizeable. And he's like the "Head" spokesperson!

NBA2K did the same thing this year - Jordan was on the cover/in the game and it was a huge hit.

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Glad to hear it's finally coming out on march.
From my observations of the trailer and pictures I can almost feel what we are going to get but also what we are going to complain about.
The graphics are a bit outdated and the player models are still not very close to reality, but i agree there's some improvement. But this is not a crucial point for me.
They said they have around 3'000 animations... let me tell you not to take this number and dream about it. It looks like there are more "personal" animations for some characters but we can also see the same ugly generic animations found in TS3 (like the un-natural fist celebration). So again, some improvements but i guess we'll feel cheated on this point by only getting a few nuggets.
Some animations of players hitting were very awkward but i remember it was the same before TS3 release... it seems they can't "chose" to get the perfect timed shots on video. So prepare to be horrified by the first gameplay videos, exactly like the first gameplay videos of TS3. I can't get it, how in the world the guys MAKING the game can't seem to play well? They can send me the beta and i will give them nice edits of perfectly timed shots so their trailers won't look like a video of amateur guys plaing tennis in their free time.
I also tried to get my attention to the public in the stadium... well it doesnt look good and they seem to be very robotic again with only a few different behaviours randomly assigned. It's not such a big deal but it looks like another point where they could have been lying (again). Anyway, i prefer to get a much better sound design and presentation, but we're still in the dark about that.
I am a bit disapointed with the roster... no Soderling, Verdasco, Tsonga, Gulbis? there's to few active players... at least they could have tried to keep Nalbandian, Berdych and Monfils.
Bernard Tomic? Come again? I saw him play and he's good but why him? because he's cheap? I can name you a dozen-cheap-for-sure that will have more impact on selling the game. Wawrinka? hmmm good player but he isnt the kind of player that make you dream to say the least.
Legends are a very nice bonus... but it is that: a bonus. Give us more than 10 guys to play in the career mode. I really hope we get a nearly unlimited slots for created characters and can play them on career mode.
All in all it still looks like we'll enjoy a lot of it :)

Exactly!


To be honest, most things you are talking about are absolutely useless to me. So long as the game play will be as good as TS3 and a bit better with more responsive and more accessible controls - it will a HUGE hit. :wink:

Yeah, where is Söderling?! Hopefully this time around we'll actually have som dlc to look forward to. Not just a big tease like in TS3. :P

But in the end I don't care that much about the roster. As long as the career mode is deep and difficult and gameplay (on- and offline) is solid. I mean, very hard should really be close to impossible!

Never understood why they put those awkward, mistimed shots in the trailers. TS3's introduction trailer is full of them LOL

The players do look better though, they are not bulk bodybuilders like in TS3, glad to see this improvement. Nadal's signature fist pump looked cool.

I too have always thought it pretty funny that the makers of the damn game apparently suck so incredibly hard.
