IMPRESSIONS

Me too.

I love it so far! I can't stop playing this demo

It feels like a mix of the best parts of TS2 and TS3.

Didn't TS1 had those Extraskillz like TS4 has too?

I believe so if I try to remember. I would say TS4 is a Mix between all previous TS Parts.

Now I first understand what you meaned with that the AI sucks on hard because I am at a Point now where I got almost no Problems anymore to beat Rafa on hard. I still lose the one or other Point if I am wrong footed and sometimes it gets close when I am not concentrated but it works now.

The Problem was that I first didn't understood the full Range of the Controls but now it's cool.

Just try to extend the rallies if its getting too easy, have some fun

Yeah but seriously Guys I think we are well served with a "very hard" CPU in the final Game. Ofoucrse we need a lil Challenge but I really don't need a monster CPU which kills me in every Aspect.

The Time to get frustrated so soon you play against humans comes early enough and I am sure everybody will make this Experience in TS4.

Wow so far every part seems to be better than TS3.

The movement no longer feels like you're stuck in mud, and something I'm really impressed with is the animation for the strokes...the animation for hitting slices off of high balls is much better and more realistic, your character stays in a square stance unlike TS3 where your player does some incredibly funky open stance slap at the ball if you try to slice a high bouncing ball. The rallies look and feel so much more real.

Haven't been excited about a game in a while so this is cool

I totally agree and that's exactly what I was talking about.

Compare the Rallies of TS3 and TS4 if you watch a few Videos and you see are clear Difference. The Improvement in this Point is huge and that's simple because TS4 will be the best Tennissimulation to date.

Glad you like it Jay! ...and last I will have someone to play with at night. All these Europeans and their funky times....meh...

[jayl0ve]

Yeah I can't wait.

I can even hit pretty decent stick serves in TS4! I could never stick serve in TS3 at all

Hehe Djarvik I can almost guarantee that Top Spin 4 will be resposable for a few weird Sleep-Rhythms so I will be probably awake to the wildest Times sometimes.

TS2 had no redeeming qualities.

To me, TS4 is the love child of TS1, TS3 & VT3. That's a tennis gaming Ménage à trois, for those keeping score at home.

I'm having trouble to use the LT inside out button. My player rarely reacts to it, even on slow incoming balls when there is time enough to run around it. I've tried tapping and holding the button but I see no difference.
Any tips?

TS2 wasn't THAT bad. The risk vs risk rallies were the best of any of the series - better than TS1 because the topspin risk added variety, and better than TS3 because you could run them down more consistently. It was hardly realistic, but the ridiculous pace was fun. Like Jaylove once said, it was like two Agassi's on speed - which, in hindsight, I guess was really just like two Agassi's.

I've done it once and it was gorgeous - watched the replay three or four times. That's it though, just once, so yeah, tips are appreciated.
