Lol that wasn't what i asked.....im sure there won't be any more players BUT that still doesnt answer how they managed to not include a SINGLE female legend in a game which boasts having the biggest and best ever roster and has 8 male legends alone! So i was simpliy wondering if one of the devs may have addressed that via twitter of Facebook etc.

Ok, my bad

. They havent addressed it. For the rest i agree with Moralspain's post above 100%.

well why wasting money on WTA licenses when that spending effort would not help them to sell more TS4 games?, wether you like it or not, female tennis is meh, not just my opinion, few minutes ago i was checking videos on youtube, "Ten burning questions".... 10 questions to ATP and WTA players....well if you check those videos, there's the following question:
"If you could pick any player from history of tennis to be your doubles partner who would you choose?",
and almost none of the WTA players answered a female player, that surprised me a lot, not even them look up to the WTA legends.

And once again ,that has no point!! Will Micheal Chang,Jim Courier and Pat Rafter help sell games?? And with females legends like Graf,Evert,Navratilova and Seles who truimph even Sampras and Agassi in career accomplishments its even more of a slap in the face. Heck Graf and Navratilova alone have more career feats than the entire mens roster alone(and thats current and legends lmao),so given 2k's claims that just makes no sense. In fact if you want to get literal i can guarantee you if you look in the past 5-10 years and compare WTA VS ATP player's overall popularity and fame...you fill find the WTA players lead as more marketable and popular. But back on topic, THE POINT is 2K claims this roster is the most comprehensive and greatest ever yet there isnt a single female legend, there is literally nothing they can say to justify why the didnt include not 1(even more so when they included 8 men,half of whom current gamers wont have a clue). Sorry buddy but your point is moot and failed in this instance

a game with rafter is much better than a game with all the WTA legends.

ok you got me mate hahaha, i don't mind if there're no WTA legends because i don't follow female tennis but i respect you do and i understand your disappointment

Honestly not many people care about WTA players.

Except maybe women I guess but who cares.

by **JJ_DUBZ_87** » Mon, 21 Feb 2011 04:04

generally the men's tennis following is MUCH larger than the women's tennis. Personally I like women's tennis, but trust me if the fans wanted more women, I'm sure they would have put them in there. But since a lot of worldwide fans prefer men's tennis, that's the major weight of the game.

At least there's gonna be a Women's Singles ITST tour

But they do....just check no further than Tops spin's offical facebook page where literally every other post has comments about the womens side of the roster. Plus players like Sharapova,Williams sisters,Kournikova alone are more popular than about 80 % of the mens roster combined.

As i said in my previous post,that is not the case. It really boils down to one simple fact,gamers play to WIN and in video games the womens stats are always far inferior to men therefore men dont want to play as women and get their asses kicked. Plain and simple, btw how many strictly ATP games are there?? I count none since the 90s,yet i know of 2 strictly WTA games......so much for the wta not being as popular :lol:

Lol i understand you guys are trying to rationalize it and make sense vut it doesnt lol. Having 11 current men compared to 7 current women got no agrument out of me,but have 8 legends to 0 is a no no and a big difference.

by **emate007** » Mon, 21 Feb 2011 05:27

Fact - 8 is indeed much larger than 0.
Fact - everybody but you in this thread seems to have no problem with this imbalance.

Conclusion - 2K didn't really upset very many people with this decision.

I don't think you should be taking this so personally. Nobody here is trying to upset you or tell you you're wrong, we just don't mind the smaller roster. You clearly do miss the inclusion of legend WTA players, but telling us we're wrong/rationalizing (wtf

) won't change the facts listed above.

@ Nardy2010

It looks to me like you are the One "trying".

Numbers don't lie and we have them. Womans tour was always smaller then man in ITST. It is irrelevant how many slams Steffi won or if more man like to "look at Maria".

I think at this time it is a mute point, 2K won't be adding any WTA legends and won't offer the explanation or an apology (?)

Funny how out of all people here, you are so lonely in your findings :wink:

once againg, do the math and add "video gaming" to the equation.
