It really is a good tennis game, but there are some frustrating things. Twice a match my serves get hit to where I cannot reach them. When you are trying to win only one game through service it becomes very difficult to overcome. Second point of contention is in tournaments when you are ranked #1 overall and you have to play #2 overall in the very first round of a grand slam. In real life they would set up the bracket so they wouldn’t meet until the final. Seems a simple coding fix for the developers

I only say almost good because of little gripes I have about the game that make it more frustrating than fun. Number 1, the controls are terrible because if you want to hit the ball harder you have to swipe and if my hands are sweaty than it won’t work half of the time. The reason that’s a problem is it’s supposed to be a MOBILE game but I have to have the correct temperature in a place to play it well. Number 2, the ball tracking is also terrible. For example, my character will have to run all the way across the court to get the ball and then they just randomly stop half way through for a quick second than keep running. Sometimes this isn’t a problem but other times it can cause you to get scored on. Also, when the ball is hit short, instead of going diagonally to get the ball, the character decides to go across and then up to get it, but by then it’s too late. My last gripe about the game is that, when I got to higher tournaments, for some reason the 151 rated player which I would destroy in lower tournaments, for some reason aces me 3 times and puts up a great fight. Although I have gripes about the game, there is also things I like being the news section, rivals, seeing your character level up and playing with the big boys, and the amount of detail but other than that, this game frustrated me more then having fun.

All the people here complaining that it’s too hard or that they can’t return serves made reviews before taking the time to actually upgrade their player. This game is fantastic, but like any good game, it takes time to get good. If you get mad that it’s touch to return and touch to move you should probably go do the tutorials anyways; you should never be hitting the ball by touching, at least swipe up to hit the ball harder. The drop ball is actually so OP I don’t allow myself to use it because I’d win every game easily. This game is difficult at first and can be frustrating because you play people way better than you, but that’s how real tennis goes too. Pretty soon and you’ll be able to upgrade your character enough that you can easily win majors and have the best tennis career of all time.

So many problems with the “touch” controls. If I’m too early my guy will turn and run away from the ball not hit it. Charge shot being a flick and normal return being tap makes it so that if you barely move your finger after tapping you return it without adding power and your guy hits it like 2 feet. I’d love a “stick and button” control option. I’d easily raise the ratings. Also, I’m not trying to sound condescending but, there’s a huge difference between a good challenge and artificially increasing the difficulty by giving the opponent unfair advantages such as making the opponent serves impossible to get to, I’ve had opponents ace me 4x in a row because my almost maxed out speed character couldn’t get to the ball. The game IS enjoyable, but then come along the frustrating parts which makes me want to put it down.
