And the second and best would be Video how you defeat Nadal with a offensive Baselinestyle....


I thrashed Rafa by going to the net ASAP! (It works fine with Roger, and with Ana Ivanovic too ;) )

Let's not talk about the difficulty since it has been levelled down for the demo...
I found the moves are "smoother", and "more real"... I played only watching the moves (didn't care about the point) and honestly, it is really nice!

The moves from left to right are more "human"....... wow! i'd like to explain this better, but my english is too poor... :( : let's say that i feel the player does this with difficulties, he doesn't just kind of "run left-stop-run right" anymore... He has cool animations for this, and you can feel it costs you.

Michael Chang has to be Nightmare in the Game.

No it's not so that I couldn't beat Nadal yet because I have won a few times but I lose more than I win. :lol:

jump to the net with Federer a you will win ag Nadal very easy in hard mode.from the baselines its much more difficult but thats real bec Nadal is hard to beat from the baselines. you will see if you play against the top guys in ITST it can be very frustrating. and like in real tennis there are players who kick your ass. you have to accept this fact. I do and for me its fun too playing ag the top guys. but without a good tactic everyone will kick your ass in ITST. so if you think you can play baseline with a s&v player your tactic isnt very good :D

My favorite part of the game so far is how the play style of the character you're using basically dictates what kind of game you have to play to win, and that this also varies on the different courts.

For example, when I'm playing as Fed, I find that if I don't hit a big serve and get on the offensive early in the point, Rafa will be dragging me from side to side and the stamina will take a hit, even if I eventually still win the point. Ditto if I go too far behind the baseline at any time during the point. Fed's more power/less speed than Rafa means that you have to be super aggressive, and if you're not a lot of the time Fed gets burned, as he does in real life. But if you can get in a big wide serve or a bomb down the middle and use the run-around button to get that big first forehand, chances are that the point is yours. Good stuff, I am salivating at the chance to use the rest of the players!

You kind of have to play at least little bit of baseline if you are a serve and volleyer lol. Thats the difference, baseliners don't have to play the net, but net players have to play the baseline some of the time.

Yep that's true. You saw it with Players like Pete Sampras but a good Serve and Volley Player is always searching for the moment to rush the Net even if he has to play a few Points from the Baseline.

Ok, 1st match lost 6-8 to rafaat french open, losing 4 points in a row. fed serve animation is about 3 times as quick :shock: and to SV you have to push the button to move to the net. no more auto-run to the net. apart from that i got a few perfect winners 8)

Seriosly Guys I don't know what you alle have with unforced Errors. They always happen between my Matches especially if I was in bad Position and took the ball to late or my Stamina was down. Ok most of the Time they are forced but sometimes unforced too. Stamina will play a big Role in TS4 and forces you to unforced errors if your Stamina Level is down between the Rallyes.


They said they made improvements in the Development after the Demo was build.

But we have to take the Game how it is. Now TS4 has the Gold Status I think and is ready to get pressed.

Yeah but i wouldnt count to much on it. I can understand they would make the game easier to appeal to a larger crowd but what kind of marketing idea is to try to sell a game making people think it is easier than it'll be in the end??? Dont get me started on supposed-to-be-tweaks in the gameplay. If there are i think they'll be minimal. It is not like they made the demo 6 months ago to give it to us now. I know that it can take some time from the point of finishing the demo and publish it so there may be some slight improvements.
Demos are there to get customers. What would be the point to show an unfinished product before release? This is beyond common sense.

Yeah Iam only saying what he said. He didn't only talk about Improvements he talked about many Improvements. And Ronnie 2K said the same yesterday that the Demo was made of an early build.

Ofcourse I am not expecting much difference but I guess they know what they are talking about.
