Improvements/wishlist for Top Spin 5

Postby a11ure » Wed, 11 May 2011 11:41

Hi guys I'm new to this forum and I thought I would start a wishlist/improvement thread for everyone to stick their thoughts and opinions in here to detail how the TS franchise could improve. djarvik it would be great (since I've read that you're in contact with some of the guys from 2K) if you could pass our suggestions along to them.

For me, the biggest issue I have with the game (besides the inability to connect to the 2k server) is the change in service motion when opting to serve and volley. This is ridiculous in so many ways (telegraphing your strategy; utterly unrealistic) and I sure hope its not something I'll ever see in a tennis game again. Certain other niggling things (the lack of UE's; inaccurate player stats and animations) are also things I would like to see addressed. Overall though I still very much like the game and already I can't wait for a sequel.

First of all TS4 JUST came out, so.... :? :?:

2nd, most people who serve and volley in this game are going to be serve and volleying basically every point, so you're not really 'telegraphing' anything, it's not really a surprise to see a Serve and Volley player Serve and Volleying all the time...

That's not the point is it? Should a player's service animation change just because they opt to serve and volley? And say you're using Fed and you predominantly stay on the baseline but you'd like to mix it up by serving and volleying... there goes the telegraphing. I do realize that this is mostly a cosmetic issue for most people, but to me its a shows a severe lack of polish and care on the developer's part

It is annoying if you're trying to use a little SV.

Three things i would like:- 1. 4 console doubles
2. accurate player animations (not hard!!)
3. Court speeds realistic. They are all pretty much the same with barely any difference. You should have to be a phenomenal SV player to win at RG. But you have a advantage on grass

Better camera angles.
Less cartoony sheen on the game.
Ball not "blending" into the background.

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