Career Mode

I just noticed something in picture 7: Sweatbands on created players!

These screenshots can be from an earlier version of the game hence the low number of animations.

One bonus that fans of Top Spin 3 will be happy to see in the latest version is that once you complete your career and your character reaches level 20, you can create an unlimited number of pros who automatically start at level 20 without having to play through career mode once again.

I thought the same thing and I hope that's the case.

Wow! I like the walk down the corridor with the pictures of Pete and Serena! Pretty friggin cool!

The most important aspect of ANY tennis game: the ability to equip your created player with eye glasses. It's damn near impossible to create nerds without eye glasses. TS3 was a HUGE failure in this regard.

Do any pros wear glasses cro? Arnaud clement excluded lol.

One of my fave players, Janko Tipsarevic!



... and the 40-50 nerds I created in TS1.

The graphics remind me a lot of the NBA 2K games. I think all the stadiums and stuff look pretty cool, but is it odd that I think it doesn't quite look as good as TS3? I'm not sure what it is exactly, and this might not be the XBox360 version but I feel like the created players in 3, and the clothes look a bit better. This could be good, however in the respect that perhaps they added a lot more quality to the creation overall... I was always disappointed that you couldn't individually change the clothing colors once you picked an item, and a generally lack of clothing and accessories.

LOL! That picture of Serena is the year of the infamous "foot fault" tirade.

I like there is a return animation. That hasn't been there yet in any TS game.

But true there are very little animation to choose from.

For example.

Forehand : Federer , Nadal, Agassi, Sampras??

And which ones for the backhands??

Serve animations 2 ???

Or are we looking at animation per style of player you choose??

Maybe the S&V players has against other animations?

I dont think so as every player will begin as a 'clean clate', probably with every stat at 30. its up to you to train them how you want

I commented on this before, here it is again:

They "may" not include "style stroke" animations into custom characters...keeping the animations locked in on the Pros. So you get less animations to choose from.

The bad: Less animations

The good: Pros are now balanced and could be used on the tour.

[KluddKalle]

Maybe they realized that they couldn't have that many styles on created characters or something (sounds stupid I know). But in TS3 the animations was flawed and even though I picked a certain style for my players forehand it still looked the same as all the other characters about 90% of the time.

So maybe they said to themselfes: Less is more...

And let's say you pick a single handed backhand and there is 3-4 animations of that. And a double handed has 3-4 animations. That adds up to 6-8 backhand animations in total which isin't all that bad...

I won't be devastated if there isin't more animations than this (as long as the gameplay is solid), but I wouldn't mind a few more.

[ANILTJE]

Yeah. I have no clue where that is going. But 2 serve animations??

So Djarvik you think that maybe once you finished to make a player. There will be many more to choose from?
