To be honest, it's ridiculous, nonsense, and a provocation to the tennis game audience after waiting 13 years for them to release a tennis game at least of the same quality as NBA, PES, or even FIFA!
1- The gameplay is not better than the previous game released in 2011!
2- The graphics are bad and not realistic (especially Roger Federer) as if it's a game released in 2014, not 2024!
The shape of the bodies, their movement, and the footwork, all of this is not good, and the ball is very slow, especially in the serve or perfect high power shots. The smash takes maybe more than a second to win the point, while in reality, the shot is over and the point is won in a fraction of a second!
3- There are many missing players, which is a shameful and fatal flaw. At the very least, the top 25 ranked men and the top 25 ranked women should be included, in addition to 25 retired stars and legends, and 25 retired female stars and legends!
The NBA game has hundreds of players, stars, and legends, and each special star has more than one version, and teams like the Chicago Bulls, Celtics, or Lakers have more than one version. So why doesn't the company show half this interest in a tennis game as it does in a basketball game?
4- The issue of repetitive and unrealistic tournaments and awards is also ridiculous, annoying, and boring. Are they incapable of caring about this stuff? Or are they truly developers who are not specialized in sports, and tennis in particular, and all they did was build the game on the foundations of Top Spin 4 and make it worse in the end!
5- The issue of making, developing, and training the player is also not as good as the NBA game, and the weak value of the (VC) awards to make us have to pay a lot of money to develop and buy things it is laughable. When you want me to pay you, you should provide a service worth the money, and not ask me for more for nothing!
6- I hope that a new company will develop and release a respectable game that is at least affiliated with the Tennis Federation, and has all the licenses, tournaments, logos, clothing, and accessories, and includes all the players we love, the legends, and the new talents.
Shame on 2K for what they offer us; this is more like a free game, not a game priced at 70+ dollars and 120 dollars!
As for the rating, after all these flaws and problems, I don't know how much it deserves, maybe 3 out of 10.
And why is the Russian flag not present in the game? Is this a sports game or a political one? Why don't you also remove the flag of any sovereign country that the United States doesn't like! The flags of China, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, in my opinion, remove all flags except for those of NATO countries and Ukraine!
