that being said, playing against persons and no computers is the key to know if the game is good or not, in my opinion


Even when your shot was perfect, you still missed?


don't remember if that was perfect.

I've just beat Federer (7-3) using Ivanovic (difficulty: hard)

that's a good thing then.
I predict the short slice will be a problem again in TS4, and of course the favorite shot for the cheesers., it's not easy to run forward so..... well....

about Fed's serve animation...it looks real to me

i still don't get though why if you hit the ball "too late" or "too soon" still goes in :shock: ....all the **** times

Well, if the computer is easy then that's probably why. As you saw in the murray vs agassi match, human vs human, things weren't so straight forward, and errors were made. Yeah having 2 people play would be a good way to tell how the game could pan out.

I posted this in another thread but good to post here too.

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.

I'm downloading it now. Will give my scrubby POV soon. I just hope that by the time 2 good players play the real thing, it turns out good. There'll still be cheesy stuff, hopefully not, but as long as all play-styles can win, then I'll be very happy.

The short angles shots seem a little wierd to me. You can hit extreme short crosses with topspin AND slices.

The thing with TS3 is I LOVED it when it came out and that faded. Maybe TS4 has way more instore what we don't see yet. The AI did hit some great shots on the line. I am curious if people will masters that how that will work. But it does worry me a lot that you hardly miss anuthing. Including the serve.

To me, 2k team has done a very impressive work...animations are great and now we feel really the strenght and weakness of each players (sometimes in contempt with reality, but no matter) and the gameplays seem very deep even if it's really quick to learn.
I think we are help by our experience on ts3. I miss quite a few shots, but against a good player, I now that the not perfect shots I've done should be punished fast, so I think it'll be demanding on multiplayer mode.
I love too the possibility to turn around the ball to make a forehand in place of a backhand("décalage coup droit" in french, don't know how you say in english..) using LT.
So my impressions : a lot of good!
The IA is too easy, even in difficult, but the gameplay is here, and that's the point!

i agree with you, actually i don't know how to hit shots down the lines, i just hit to that area of the court, but i can't see how you can manage that if there's not button combination or so, i mean i'm hitting perfect shots trying to hit lines but i'm not getting good results,
The best shot so far is the "no power" shot with the b button, Al knows what i'm talking about

So I have it on my Console.

And what should I say? The Game is back! The Dynamic is back!

It feels really good to play it.

I am sure it offers alot more depth than you expect after you play it in the first Minutes.

The Developers said it's easy to pick up but also offers alot of depth.

I can feel it Baby.

I'll drive in my City in a few hourse to pre-order it.

This Demo is only a pretaste from the greatness TS4 has to offer.

You will see Guys, we will love it so soon the final Version is out.
