You can't :( You'll need to do it directly from the 360 then.

Last time I checked you'll have to have your xbox running for it to work that way. If it's turned off it will start downloading when you turn it on.

Ok my thoughts.

Honestly it seems a little too easy for now. Like Xavi said you hardly miss a shot. The slices look and feel a little akward.
And won already a few matches against the AI on the hardest level.

About the returning it seems easy. But the AI is serving rather easy. Nadal did ace me with his spin serve.

Good thing is you dont have to press too early like in TS3. But you still can.

The only wierd thing is . You have the help indicators. I hit many shots with the "wrong " timing. Yet the ball doesn't go out or in the net or anything. It still is with power and rather good placement.

Till now I feel the game is close to VT but you can make errors.

Rallies can go on a long time although players get tired. Maybe that will change when the match progresses.

So for now I would say the game is a little too easy.

But maybe the demo is made easy for people to "like"it more.

It isn't in the US PSN Store either.

Ah well, I'm just going to buy a 360 for the demo now then.

I echo Anil's thoughts. It all feels just a little too easy and despite it coming up on the screen that you've mistimed a shot, it still lands in with fairly good depth. I barely made an error in the few tiebreaks I played.
What I do like though are the inside out returns and drop volleys which you cant really do in TS3. Lobs also seem to work properly here and you can chase them down now which is a relief.
Unfortunately, the "return near the net" thing seems to be back so that will please cheesers in wt :x
Overall though, I think it is looking promising.

Well, the demo should attract buyers. From their business perspective the demo should be easy to pick up to have some fun playing it, it will attract new players to the game. The ITST folk will buy it anyway.

Hope the inside baseline return isn't as cheesy as you say it, and that it's only because the service isn't good enough. It should be possible to return a poor service from inside the baseline.

Just KILLED Serena with Ivanovic on clay in a comeback to win 10-8 on hard level. BTW Nadal's topspin is quite close to the real thing. :D And I don't see the hallowed courts of Wimby. :(
