Tennis World Tour: THOUGHTS / SUGGESTIONS

[Amazing Matheja]

Haha !Doing good ! Still in Paris ! Still mate with Amazing Zizou ! ^^ Hey Djarv my man how are you ?

Ok ! Been working on the game a bit ! I've created 2 diffrents players (1 tall guy (186cm) Athletic, and 1 average guy (180cm) "muscled") and i've scooted the pro players skills a bit...
I see a lot of muscle men comin' ! ^^

I don't feel loss of endurance alter your gameplay...

The unlocked coaches (adding skills) are back, plus you have a manager (adding a skill) !

Glad you both fine!

We have a chat now, you should pass by from time to time. We talk about a lot of things there, tennis included. NBA. Politics, religion - you name it. It can be fun sometimes!

Regards!

Ah chats... I'm not really into it but will try to have a look !
Do you have the game on PS4 ? Maybe we can do some workshop together again ! ^^

Do someone know if once you end a career you have a "create quick" option for creating a new character ?... Hope so !

it’s worse than AO in my opinion. Thinking about getting a refund. It’s not a £60 game more like £20. Nothing is better than any of the other top spin games. It’s half a game at the moment and they will be lucky if anyone sticks around to see what the updates are like. Shipping with no online play on launch is really poor.

It’s 2018 and you have Federer on the cover and this is what you come up with? Nothing has been learned and you haven’t kept the best bits of all the previous games. Ok I know this isn’t TS5 but it’s what it has been sold as. I understand that this might be what developers do now to get these titles out, produce half a game, bring some money in and get updates out ASAP but to me it needs more than updates.

It doesn’t know what kind of game it is. World Tour Tennis but doesn’t even pretend to follow the world tour format.
Negetives so many
-no online play
-career limited
- no mprovement from previous games in player creation, graphics, finish, animations, realism.
- game crashed on me once

It’s got a decent amount of pros, yes they look a bit rubbish but I could forgive all of that if the game play was spot on. The courts are alright but just copies, and that’s fine to if the gameplay was spot on. The developers know what good ball physics look I hope they have played tennis elbow, just start from there. I would much rather have seen gameplay nailed, no character customisation and a good online platform with a few courts and no career mode. Get everyone playing online and add a career mode after. Oh it just annoys me how my favourite sport still doesn’t get the kudos it deserves in these titles.

Anyway this is my first couple of hours review. I think with tennis games there is nowhere to hide because funnily enough all you are doing is playing tennis. This ain’t tennis at the moment to me

Give it a bit of time !

I bought the game last night... It was a bad idea

The game is not even a pre beta , it has many flaws, too many, and to think that this game will get better is not hard to imagine because it can't get worse.

The gameplay is terrible, very slow , movements are laggy.
The shots animations are pretty dull, moving the player feels like driving a war tank.
The collision system is simply not working well, there is no relation whatsoever between where the racket is vs where the ball is when it is hit. You simply see too many times, that the racket is 30 cm or more away from the ball and then it is miraculously hit by the racket....
The sounds of the crowd are really bad , crowd sounds like a bad late 90s music stream .
The referee calls are just as bad, the ball was called out 5 times in less than 10 minutes, when it was clearly in, the score reflected what really happened, that it wasn't out (it wasn't out 5 of those 5 times) I hit a ball in the middle of the court and it was a winner, suddenly the referee says OUT.... come on, really??
The sound effects of the racquet hitting the ball is like playing with wood planks ...
The camera couldn't be changed, it was impossible to change it , wanted to use the far camera like in the videos.. but it was not possible.
Finally I couldn't play multiplayer online because it wasn't available

I can say I feel cheated

7 years for this... Tennis on Atari was more realistic

I’ll come back to it another time, but for now I have got a refund. I’ll pick it up if and when there are significant improvements and there is a ITST tour.

Yip same issues, if they wanted testers to tell them what’s wrong with the game then fine. Pay me and I’ll list all the problems but I’m not paying £66 squids for that job and then hope that you may or may not fix it. Honestly wasted opportunity could have been so so much better you had a good opportunity to create something amazing and you blew it, someone got it all wrong! I hope one day I’ll be proved wrong but for now I’m done!

Ok...
1st of all, I say that we'll have a better idea on the game once some itst players have worked together ! Testing different characters, different gameplay etc...

1st feeling is that we have Top Spin 4 remastered... It looks to be all about charging your shot or not, depending on where your player is standing from the ball...

I'm guessing they tried to make the game "eSportable" so that you don't have loadrunners covering every inches of the ground, always reaching at the ball, always hitting it clean...
That's why if you move too quick to the ball, charging your shot too much, it will end in that strange shot you weren't charging (charging a slice but wich ends in a weird flat shot)... And you make a direct fault...
If that's so, that could be a good point to me !

I haven't played it enough yet of course ! Need to end the career, to see how it goes on harder level (until we can play online), to test different gameplays/gameplans with different kind of players !

So in all I'm a bit disappointed for now because it's too much "Top Spin 4" to me, and I wanted a more "Top Spin 3" title but I'm fully ready to play a lot more, to give it some times, and to try many tests ! ^^

Other thing that disappoints me is... I just can't serve ! I haven't find the trick ! I try to put direction when the ball lefts the hand, and stop all (charge & direction) when the ball is at its top,
but it's "fault !" all the time... So I end on doing just a charged 2nd serve with no direction... Thats not really "Safin-like" like I wanted my player to be... xD

So yes, i admit I'm quite disappointed, but I still have a little hope it can be fun ! ^^

PS : As for the "incomplete" game, I bought SFV so I'm used to it now... Actual video game business so I won't get angry about that, or I will spend all days angry and I don't like that ! So like the great philospher J. Burton once said "Relaaaaax !" ^^

Or a winner (like a friend reminded me) ! I'm not sure but I think that's where Endurance has an effect...
Full stamina : you charge in red (max power or outpower) + bad position = winner (sometimes ?)
Zero stamina : you charge in red (max power or outpower) + bad position = fault (all the time ?)



EDIT : Oh my god ! When you select far away camera you can't play Aussie open ! The camera is in the public you just can't see the field and the players anymore !!! Unreal !!!

Sorry haha I thought it meant so baaaaad

[C4iLL]

Sorry for the believers, TwT is definitely the worst tennis game ever released...

[ILuvBillVal]

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well!

I wanted to post here because I've been checking out the game and don't really find it quite as bad as a lot of people are saying online. It definitely could use some work but there's also a lot of room for potential here. As a gamer, I'm not really super concerned with the graphical aspects and what the crowd looks like as much as the system and game.

I really like that the first patch was already released, and the shots feel much better as a whole since the patch. Hoping they continue to be as active as this with adding the online mode, etc.

I like the stats design thus far and the skills as a whole. I like that you don't have to commit to having a player that is totally awful at groundstrokes in order to have a decent volley skill.

My biggest issue so far is the lack of faces in created players, and obviously the lack of online. Would help to see more fresh faces pop up or be able to customize them more?

I really like the inclusion of being able to rearrange your player stats in the career with the update. I do not like the uptick in frequency of replays however. Do any of you super knowledgeable guys know if they included or will include something you can unlock to quickly create a level 30 player?

I know there are many flaws in this game and still need a lot of improvements but seeing this video clip there's still hope. depends upon the skills of the gamer playing this game I guess. I believe this game has potential and will be improved a lot with future patches
