The only thing this game has going for it is its graphics, which aren't even that impressive given that half of the players don't look finished. This is ridiculous considering there are only 20 players, especially when compared to other 2K games that feature hundreds of fully rendered players. Although it surpasses recent competitors, this comparison shouldn't even exist given 2K's significantly larger budget compared to smaller companies like Big Ant.
The career mode is highly unrealistic, with only 80 players in the rankings, including just 7 real players. Itโs also very limited, allowing participation in only 12 tournaments a year. The game urgently needs to switch to a weekly calendar instead of a monthly one; it's absurd that a tournament lasting a week takes up an entire in-game month. One of the game's major selling points is the inclusion of every Grand Slam and Masters 1000 tournament, but it's frustrating that you can't play all of them due to overlapping schedules.
Though the game has potential, it must address these glaring issues if it wants to compete with the upcoming Tiebreak. Tiebreak, still in early development, already boasts nearly 50 announced players, including the top 10 men and women, and is expected to feature well over 100 players; and the graphics have been increasing rapidly leading to the edge topspin has right now possibly not being a factor when tiebreak inevitably releases.
