Worst controls ever.

anybody has played it yet? how does it play? I'm asking cause I'm almost at my limit for my bandwithdt this month and I don't want to waste useful mbs.

I've spent very little time with it, and just against a very poor CPU level (we will have a First 10 min of the full version next week, when we get it), but I'm not impressed. I like how TS2 and VT3 did it, how you "only" need to press the button and no timing. I guess the *real* tennis fans might like it a bit more sim though.

It just didn't seem that fun to me, but I guess it can be enjoyed more if you can play against a better opponent and actually have some longer duels than this. Now it's more or less just shoot and aim, you don't even have to time it that well.

The demo is only 400 mb's though.

I like it, it makes it feel much more challenging and makes you feel like you are actually playing.

If you don't like challenging gameplay though, stay away and get Virtua Tennis or another arcade tennis game.
If you want to really 'dig in' to a tennis game, I love this new system.

Kudos to 2k for implementing new things that actually work.

liked the controls, graphics are really solid, best moving clothes i've seen in a game.

Took me a few hours, but seriously...once you get the hang of it you're hooked. The gameplay is amazing!

It seems like you'll never get used to the controls at first, and you start to think they made the worst controls ever, but at some point...it clicks, and it becomes so satisfying. Seriously, it's easily worth the (very) steep learning curve!

i downloaded this last night on the 360.. the graphics are really nice, nice animations. The controls take abit of getting used to though.. kind of reminded me of fight nights controls where you use the right stick for your swing..never really took to it. Certainly alot more challenging than other tennis games though.

Agreed - I've been on a rental copy, and I'm absolutely convinced that it work. Like the first poster, really hated it at first. It was tough having to unlearn every facet of my tennis game playing of old, and now, it just feels immensely satisfying to crack a good slice now.

If only they improved on the presentation (antiseptic atmosphere and sounds during matches) and slightly eerie-robotic looks of the real players, we would have a proper good tennis game. And take out Jamiroquai, silly sod.

Just unlocked my 100 matches achievement... that says it all really :D
