Top Spin 3

One thing that does let the game down is the players inability to move really quick, I suppose it's a simulation now, a proper one so you can't ask for miracles when chasing a ball.

I find pressing LB gets you back to the middle quicker, and if you let go and carry on running you can reach the other side quicker as well :)

Yeah I use that occasionally, I'm still figuring out which benefits me more, using A or B to hit base line shots. It seems A is better when the heart rate is high or it might just be a coincedence that I won lots of points using A. Not sure.
 
I use slice shots a lot to move my opponent round and bring him a little closer to the net, then use A or B to fire it into the hole. Seems to work quite well against the AI, not tried online yet though.

I'm a lot better too now that I have levelled up my player a bit, on a 3 game winning run and have 8 wins, 11 losses. Not bad really.

Also Danny, single player you can achieve XP for your player.

I have 11 or 12 wins now for 13 or so losses. Had a marathon tie break last night that I eventually won. I'm not gonna play that much ranked anyway. In a day or so after every one has battered it you will just end up playing guys with 3x the stats. That will put off the new players.
 
Is this really complicated?

Just that am looking for some fun games, and was looking for something to go with guitar hero 3. So is this a little too complicated to be classed as simple fun?

It's not necesserily complicated no, i went through the basic turtorial which took about 20 minutes. You then know the basics in which you improve playing matches. Top Spin 2 would be the perfect pick up and play game but this is just as fun when you give it a bash for an hour or so.
 
World tour is a great feature but already pointless. They havent thought it through. I just did a search for a game and the players are now 90 stats. 90 on forehand backhand and serve. It doesnt matter how good or bad I am I can't cope with that.

You end up trying for a few shots then letting it auto run.

I can understand player matches allowing you to use your custom player. Ranked should be even. All thats happened is people have blitzed the career, got the stats up and then creaming easy wins on world tour for even more quick XP.

You should know a difficult game does not bother me, infact i prefer them - this game isnt exactly hard (though its harder then its previous versions)

But the movement of players and the way you play career and world tour are just really poor
 
I can't really get on with using LB and RB to position my player. It's not faster in my eyes than just Left stick running?

Rarely use LT and RT too.

What difficulty are you playing career on?

I've started on normal and won the first couple of sections.
 
I know I'm just being silly :p

I actually tried this last night, I might have to go try a proper game because the training put me to sleep and I wasn't impressed.
 
My copy arrived this morning, will get to play it tonight when I get home.

As for the comments regarding getting beaten by people online whos stats are better, why dont you just play it and build up your stats, once you have maxed out, or get to a decent average then play online. Surely that seems sensible?

The point being ranked should syrely be a level playing field, these people aren't playing and building stats they are dual gamer tagging and building up huge stats. This stops anyone from joining and playing ranked just for the hell of it.

Imagine playing fifa or pro evo where the experienced players have an even bigger advantage over the new players. No one would play it.
 
Noticed a glitch in the game earlier playing single player...

Quite off putting, she clapped and everything!
 
What annoys and puts me off is that one person in the crowd that woohoo's after a good shot, normally by the AI. Once you notice it you will want to turn the sound off :D

Went up to the Pro's. Oz open first round Federer, got knocked out. Next tournie first round....

Federer :mad:
 
dont know if its just me, but the L1 & R1 buttons seem to do jack :confused: - L1 is supposed to run you to the middle, and R1 is supposed to run you to the net...

they dont :(...
