IMPRESSIONS

[Cro Morgan]

Are you playing on "hard?"

Yeah, just beat Nadal on clay 7-2. Id say its a bit easy then.

Damn, this might be your time to shine.

Ok, this was interesting. Played a bit (download went pretty smooth for me by the way) and i must say i am impressed.

Its pick up and play for sure. I havent played a Top Spin version in ages but i was having fun instantly. Just serving is tricky for me. Ill need to play a lot more to master that again.

What i found most impressing though was the huge difference between playing with Federer and Nadal. In my matches with Roger i was way more offensive then with Nadal. And it happens automatically. It makes sense somehow.

Minor issue is that the demo is way to easy for me or any other experienced Top Spin player and a tiebreak is a bit short to fully test the new stamina system. So i cant really get a good feel for the depth of the game.

The number of errors is to low at the moment. Perhaps they will increase at a higher difficulty setting or in a player vs player match though? I can see that happening as you would be wrong footed a lot more.

Are you playing on "hard?"

Yeah seriously it scares me a lil bit. Every second here wants to tell me how easy it is even on hard cause they were big TS3 Veterans. *lmao*

I played this Demo too and it wasn't so easy like some of you say.

And even if you really do something better I'll find it out sooner or later.

I will play Top Spin 4 like a Machine 6 to 8 hours a Day when it has to be. I got time, really enough time because I am the opposite of Cro.

I got no Wife, no Kids and no mofugging Job. (haha)

I got time and I am free.

Exactly, that impressed me the most too. When using Fed against my brother there was more variety in my shot selection. I also had to be really aggressive, with the occasional volley, as nadal can make it feel like you're hitting against a brick wall sometimes. With Nadal, it was more about patience, getting every thing back, and waiting to strike at the right time.

You'd definitely get wrong footed against a human. It's so easy at times. When you give your opponent a floater you practically have to guess which way to go, unless you're speed is high like nadal's cause fed definitely couldn't retrieve those on reaction.

You Guys don't have to play on easy by the way. Play with Fed against Nadal on hard and you will have some Problems in some Rallyes.

I mean I have it.

I'm playing with a human. Much harder than CPU

If you mean when someone lobs, you press a button and swing at the air. I think they have. It seems like the volley doesn't even come out once the ball has been lobbed over you. Your character cancels what shot he was going to do and waits for you to press back to run and try to retrieve the ball.
I'll try it out later and let you know for sure.

Just got done playing with my brother. The most fun I've ever had with a tennis game. He's still learning, but non the less after a brief explanation he started getting better. Rallies are definitely more dynamic than TS3. You're going to love this emate, and any other s&ver. S&V seems like it could be really strong. Then again, all styles can definitely work in this.

Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to try the game out.

And now i thrashed Federer at the US Open with Ana... 7-1...(on hard level)
I forced him to direct fault (a return in the sky included), i did some nice "perfect" shot (mostly by luck, since i don't really "master" the timing), but hey, how the hell can Ana (even in "goddess" mode) thrash Roger?... I know Ronnie said it was "levelled down" from what it will be but still...

[oDEVLISHo]

I do miss the old risk, it does feel like there is something missing especially on return. Ive not lost a match yet but i do think the AI is a bit shit and had it been one of you guys i would have got killed!

The tie breaker is much more intertesting if you try and let it go on and on for as long as you can we should see who can reach the highest scoreline, this demo is going to get boring if we dont think of something lol

You right! It is a horrible game. Everyone, stop playing it NOW!

Easy, Roger would easily get distracted by Ana, because mirka gets old to look at after awhile. I'm sure that's the case, unless she played topless and in that case im sure he could have barely moved!

Case solved
