IMPRESSIONS

Now I'll test it a lil bit more. Shame that there is no Revanche Option in the Demo.

well i played a couple more matches. I really enjoy it! But the lack of unforced errors is a bit killing it... maybe a patch will do it (like they did in ts3).

Volleys are better than in TS3, it is still clunky but i guess it should be difficult to maintain the balance between play styles.

I cant wait for the full game!

I am losing against Nadal on hard dif.

Lost two Matches in a row.

[tenjintenkai]

oh man you have to train harder!
I guess we are all well prepared because we played TS3 exhaustingly, thats why we can easily pick up ts4 and beat cpu.

After one hour of playing i am starting to feel that strategy will have bigger place than in TS3! also the rallies seem more dynamic. Before i was affraid of the speed of the ball but i am relieved. There's still this lack of unforced errors that bugs me though...
oh and what do you guys think of the serve? it happened to me a few times wheere i put a direction and the serve goes to the other side! wtf? it seems you have to press longer than before the direction to angle the serve. No difference between 1st and 2nd serve at all.

ok ill go play a last match before going to work.

OMG Nadal kills me.

But not for long that's sure. ^^

The Game feels good, the Netplay feels good I just tried to make a Point at the Net but missed it. *lol*

And because of the Errors. I just made few when I was in bad Position.

I just only made three Points against Nadal. ^^

I just played 2 matches, and I love it so far. Speed and stamina make a big difference. I'll play with my bro later today, a newb, to tell you how things go.
To hit more angled shots you need to be in the position to do so no, and severly tilt the analog in the south west or south east direction. How angled the shot is, or how close to the line it is depends on greatly seems to depend on your position, then comes your character's stats and your timing.
I made a couple errors against federer even though I had a perfect timing on my shot.

[tenjintenkai]

yeah that makes sense....

i guess i'm too good then

[Moralspain]

Ok i've been playing with my bro, and well my thoughts are the same, that being said, the game, at least, is fun and some rallies were quite awesome despite the lack of unforced errors.
The net game has improved, now it's way better

[o Sinna o]

OMG I can't beat this gay-a-s-s Nadal. The CPU is acting too good for me at this Point.

And you Poser telling me it's easy. Wait after I finsihed my first Career and figured out how to play it more effective I'll beat your lame Poser A-s-s tenjintenkai.

BTW the Game forces enough errors between the Ralleys.

And Nadal made his first Ace down the Line against me.

[Hawkeye Miihawk]

I'm loving this so far. Maybe because I'm a newb. Stats seems to matter now. I can all ready tell a big server and s&v is going to be so dangerous. Playing as nadal, fed was really aggressive, but I could get so many balls back tire him out to win pts. Playing as fed, nadal could get to so many balls, and I had to play extra aggressive. I could definitely feel fed was slower. Pts nadal could get to fed didn't even have chance. I hope this turns out really well, but so far I'm really enjoying this.

OMG I did it after five Matches and it felt so good. Aces are definitely possible in TS4 but hard to perform at this Point. Nadal made one against me in the last Match and I just made one down the Line with my Matchpoint to win the Game 7:5 on hard difficulty.

I also made my first Volleypoint at the Net right now in the last Match. OMG the Game is ingenious.

We will love it so soon everybody is gets the most out of the possible Gameplay.

[o Sinna o]

Aces will be also possible against human Players to my estimate after playing a few Matches because you can't always stand so good to cover the whole Servicefield. But you will see it.

I just made an exact Ace a few cm's before the T-Line. Not exactly on the T Line but on the Line and Nadal looked on hard dif. like a Noob and gazed my Ace with Respect.

Although I only played with the women once, at least in this game they seem to be more on an even keel with their male counterparts. I didn't notice too much of a difference in regards to movement anyway which was very obvious in topspin 3.

After playing a few matches i find it great. Better animations feels much more realistic to me. good rallies a to hit a ball close to the line you must stand perfect maybe im bad but a few balls go in net or out sidelines a baselines. feels much more realistic then TS3 ever did.
