Let's all tag 2K to revive TopSpin! Its high time that we, tennis lovers, have a proper tennis game!
I know! Are they not aware how friggin in demand the game is in a new gen format!???🤯
2k will make you buy VC
Guess what
I just wish someone can copy and paste top spin 4 gameplay with updated graphics and roster
Yes please. Top spin 4 best ever
100% agree
I will even take it with the old graphics, just backward compatible. But i think there are licence issues why it isn´t possible
2Κ is to busy 💵 💵
I still play Top spin 4 with my friends each Saturday... the best tennis game ever! This one is a pure rubbish...
I wish a big studio would invest in a good tennis game, there is so much potential
true, fucking scandalous. after 7 years no good tennis game. ao tennis 2 with fucking retarded graphics and gameplay. hopefully on ps5 there will come a great tennis game and triple aaa studio
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 preach this shit, make them notice what we want
@@dvgemerden28 what ? the gameplay is awesome in this game but graphics are ugly
yeah not that great that graphics, you seen that a 3rd part studio has make it. a shame that 2k studios dont make a great game again. i missing also a new arcade game like virtua tennis. that games are nice
true, 2k studios and sega where make the best tennis game. top spin, more realistic game. and virtua tennis more arcade. miss those games! after 6 years no great tennis game is a shame. hopefully on the new xbox one series or ps5. otherwise bring out a nice remastered 4k version of it
I just miss virtua tennis 😔😔
The problem with modern tennis games is that they value animation over gameplay. Tennis Elbow truly is the best tennis game of the century, other good ones are Mario Tennis, Super Tennis (SNES), Top Spin 3 and Super Blast Tennis, all of them require tweaking of settings to get it right. I’ve played just about every tennis game in existence, and the key problem is that net play is completely overpowered while baseline play is underpowered. All of them have strengths and weaknesses but if you tweak Twnnis Elbow on Tour mode to have juuuust the right settings and difficulty for the CPU, you’ll get quite a lot of hours out of it. I would play it to relax and watch some shows almost every afternoon for about 5 years.
Just tried AO2 on PC apart from above commentary i must commend for dev who kept a lot of score, lineman and challenge system intact. First I dived in career mode and try to get used to it. Took me likes 1 - 2 hours. I will break down my POV with this game with categories. - Movement to return the ball Just like in IRL tennis match you need to run or stand in most strategic position on court to able to rush to ball that coming from any direction. Mostly center of court or center of left/right back zone. Which you can make a decision by looking at direction or movement of opponent that will return the ball to you (If you can't stand or find that position you really need strong leg works to rush to ball in time to do a perfect stroke without unforced error) - Play style and BOT decision I just learned that opponent bot studying with my play style after awhile. I keep hitting ball to left or right in the corner of court till opponent losing their timing and using sharp volley or smash to prevent them from return the ball. But in next match bot trying to do the same and even counter me with LOB or slice shot. (IRL I also using that play style and rarely using LOB or drop ball because I got very high chance to make unforced error with that kind of shot) - Unforced Error I really love this kind of stuff. IRL match I make unforced error alot exp. Return the ball with wrong part of the racket (LOL) make the ball go out of the court or hit the net. Serving with incorrect stroke movement and make the ball fly in another direction or even hit the net (happen a lot in slice and top spin serve). So this system make me having fun with match in game. That's all my part that i got from the game within 1 - 2 hours feel free to correct my grammar or whatever is incorrect with these comment. :)
I am Top Spin fan, i played yesterday this game for the first ever and i have to say it is really great ! You have time to think in wich direction you send the ball, it is very enjoyable.. The ball physics are amazing, just play on high close camera to see better ... On 4K it looks really good,... Even if it's not perfect, i think AO2 is the best tennis game today
I agree with all of this, I only picked up AO Tennis 2 recently and Its really is the best current tennis game available.. Tennis World Tour 2 and its auto swing mechanic is so incredibly bad.. Tennis has one thing, hit the ball with the racquet, and they took that away.. When I play tennis I want my player to swing when I press a button, not to swing on his own accord and my timing input is the only thing that matters. AO Tennis 2 will kind of begin a swing the same sort of way but still gives the player more of the feeling that they have carried out this action themselves, as well as very much allowing for more movement and positioning on the way to the swing.. Tennis World Tour 2 is disgustingly restrictive and It saddens me that the Top Spin team made it…
My 3 favorite sports are , Football(Soccer), Boxing and Tennis. We have a couple soccer games i can play like Fifa or Pes, but Boxing and Tennis doesn’t get much attention until recently.
The most annoying thing about this game for me is that it's so unforgiving when you don't hit a shot with the right power. I lose games on career mainly just due to the fact that the ball constantly goes out of bounds because I hit it with the slightest wrong amount of power. So frustrating.
Push back on the stick it will slowly it down. Or is this wrong?
Umm...don't think they went "back to the drawing board" just to improve a few things...Sketchup is not expensive to use...
top spin 4 is the best.by far.
Players just needs to move easier , at the net and returning serve
I agree. The simulation of sound and ball physics feel amazing. You can even request a number of Hawk-Eye and also react negatively or respectfuly at the end of each point. The only flaw that i really felt was (as everyone says) the incapability of reaching some hard balls, or the player just staying instead of hitting it, sometimes. But at the end, the sensation is pretty authentic, as there's a certain difficulty in each strike (kind of like in real tennis). There are a lot of unforced errors until you learn how to hit it correctly, at the right time, with the right power, and at the right direction, EVERYTIME. It feels like real tennis. We only need another more polished sequel.
Copy pasta much😅😂
TopSpin 4 still remains the best tennis game ever! A bit of tweaks and additions here &there and there you are! It had the best gameplay. It seemed realistic!
Still playing against my brother as much as we play PES
is there any replay with some camera angel and camera tracking/following the ball? also other tennis games like Tennis Elbow? TE is not good annimation
Is it better on switch compared to PS4? It feels broken on PS4, too often it will not respond when I hit a ball ( character doesn’t even move ) , the aiming spot disappears ... very frustrating.
We need Top Spin back. Imagine that on ps4 with the great sound effects.
Atleast they got Nadal's grunts right.
It bothers me that all non-flat shots appear to have weird swerves. It's almost like the ball is being pulled by magnets.
João Pires hey you should check out my AO2 tennis gameplay! Next video will have info on how you can win some shmoneyyyy 💪🏾
right?!
Can you get players like Djoker, Fed and the Williams at all? If not then that kinda ruins it for me tbf, not having 6 of the top 10 is a huge issue to me.
You can download them from the community tab in game
Smahs court tennis 2 will always be my favorite tennis game, the game play was solid. And the unlock able characters was fun.
Spent many hours playing sct2
I'll try this but it's hard to see how anything can top Tennis Elbow right now

Virtua tennis and grandslam tennis had the best tennis gameplay
@Edward Jam I actually meant to say smash court tennis series.
Someone please bring back topspin 4

so bear with me, im new. i have a ps4. i want to play ao2 and its in the ps4 online store. but says i need a PS Plus sub for online play. does that mean if i want to play other players online? i don't care so much abt that. i don't have a sub, can i still buy/download the game and play it?
I Love virtua Tennis 3/2009 I liked the fast arcade games
Tennis games are awesome and realistic it's crazy Madden still lacks
This game is NOT awesome or realistic.

@@alessandrodelpierojuventus8156 Holy shit if u think this games really great youre very easily pleased. The player movement remains poor despite numerous updates , the volley animations are a joke , and the rallies are extremely repetitive. The one part I agree with is that its the best tennis game but thats just because theres only 1 other and its even worse.
In my opinion I could easily do with the graphics. It is just right - not great but just right. I see more fluidity in the movement. What I miss from Top Spin 4 the most, aside from literally EVERYTHING, is the character customization - the points and coaching system as well as the character's personality and style. Yet that would be nothing without the gameplay mechanics and its fluidity. Sure, sometimes Andy Murray literally teleported towards the ball and things like that but the overall experience was very, very consistent. I'm just rambling at this point. Just remaster Top Spin 4, thanks.
We just need a topspin 5 or even a grand slam tennis 3
Grand Slam Tennis 2 was trash. I played that a couple times then gave up because every dame shot seems to have been lobs or dropshots.
C Jahmal yeah I agree with that. But it was an improvement from the first one that was only on the WII.
Hopefully they can fix these w/updates so I’ll wait until a few of those release.

Ima give it a shot!!
can i download the stadiums and players in ps4?
Honestly most of the game play issues you mention are because you're picking the wrong location to stand and return balls from. Also, diving is in the game. Just doesnt happen to often.
Xxx Xxx hey you should check out my AO2 tennis gameplay! Next video will have info on how you can win some shmoneyyyy 💪🏾
The only game that has got it right is a small indie game called tennis elbow the gameplay is perfect. It just feels right and much much better than any top spin game
can you create your own game ?? tournament ??
Oh My Gosh!!! I just want to PLAY the d@mn game! lol Does the free DEMO allow for game play, or just for us to SEE the character set-up? I find NO window to START GAME.
Good review, guys!
You’re a dumbass
When is top spin 5 coming out?
Never bro :(
Wish they had a bigger budget
Really great review. We found a lot of similarities in our review as well 👌🏼

the game is better from first but need update to fix some thinks like unforced errors.please update it big ant studio
They so obviously DIDN'T go "back to the drawing board" its the same bloody game playing wise. Ridiculous comment.
The graphics are excellent....by 2005 standards.
So? Retro is all the rage now.
Nah on 4K looks good
I couldn't disagree more about the load times, it takes 10 to 15s for a match to load on the Xbox one x
5:08 Really..... come on now.... Gael Monfils, a man in the discussion for the fastest tennis players of all time, has an 80....
Not bad but the game feels choppy and unresponsive at times! I slowed the game and ball speed. Feels better
Is this the ps5 version?
it ain't virtual tennis 2..i still play it on a dreamcast emulator
If you want to play the best tennis game don't waste your time. You can still play Top Spin 4 online on ps3 and xbox 360 in 2020! Player Match, the online exhibition mode still works!

No, the best tennis game is Tennis Elbow
No way, top spin tennis 4 100% is
@@Iam-vr3po Top Spin doesn't even come close to Tennis Elbow 2013.
Gary Key holder it’s a joke you melon
@@sirbenjaminthebold3943 Ok you prune
TheFedHD ok shit how was I supposed to know tennis elbow was a real thing? What kind of stupid name is that?
Not going to lie those graphics look pretty good
Career mode is honestly the most fun I’ve ever had playing a tennis game. The atmosphere is remarkable. It is a couple wonky animations but there are always several that are lifelike in its beauty. And the soundtrack is simple amazing. Why aren’t the artists names attatched to the songs? If I was the artist that would be mandatory,. The AI is the best I’ve ever seen in a tennis game. The third time will be the charm for this game and probably a masterpiece. They honestly need more licensed players and venues (especially the slams). And commentary. 9 out of 10 for me.
The animations look so wonky. No game can beat Ts4
Hard times to be a sports gamer...I mean, I'm upset 'cause if you want something deeper and simlike style everything feels pretty poor...I would like to have, like simracing do have, options like Assetto Corsa or Iracing but in tennis and NFL...for example, FIFA machanics are trash, NBA has become a cassino, Madden no mather what they say, it's still glitchy and running and tackling it's feel just so wrong.. anyway good video!

5:40, wtf!
best ever? top spin 1 is better and that came out...
Madden is so garbage I'm ready to try something new this game looks interesting.
I haven't played this, but I have played Madden, and if you think that it's rubbish and you are as into tennis as you are into football then you will find that this game is alot further away from tennis than Madden is from football!

What ever happened to the top spin franchise? Surely there are enough tennis fans to warrant a decent game.
Grand slam Pro tennis tour 2 on the xbox 360 is still the best tennis game out there by miles! Top spin 4 was the closest and that was still way off.
I still play top spin 4 and it’s so good lol
I have ps4....what tennis game u recommend?
@@Best-go8cd Hot Shots Tennis is the only good one.

Many people complaining but I think this is the best tennis game right now.Atleast big ant is making tennis games ...
The psp tennis game I had 10 years ago looked twice as good
Drew Seventyfour really ? Thats soooooo cooooool bro broooo
Smash Court Tennis?
Tennis elbow and top spin 4 is still better
I love the ambition though👍
Top spin 4 is the best game. AO2 has graphics and gameplay of a decade ago. Ridiculous.
Top Spin 4 looks like a 2020 game and AO2 looks like a 2011 game, yet its the other way around

"Sounds like youre actually at an event" - Insert clip with videos annoying background music playing so we dont actually hear how the game sounds for real.
Ao tennis 2 OR world tour tennis 2 ??
screen tearing visible.
it's a buggy broken mess. the ai is unreal. you can hit a ball deep, then a drop shot at the net, but it still will be able to run up and get it.. other times, if the ai is out of position, it will teleport to the shot to make sure it gets the ball back. I'm not kidding. also, it's hell bent on not losing 6-0. it will do whatever it can to ensure it wins the next game. I've seen this time and time again.. let it win the game, and the next game is easy to win for 6-1. there's a pattern to the AI where all the characters basically play the same. run up to the net, and it will pretty much always lob you.. to a ridiculous amount.. if it goes far to the right or left, it will hit up the line this arched shot, which is impossible to hit.. anything to win. I'm playing on medium difficulty.. not hard.. it's an absolute mess and needs fixed. why is it so hard to make a good tennis game these days?

You can dive
What's with the lack of Tennis on PS4? I would pay full price for a new Top Spin.
TayR0C hey you should check out my AO2 tennis gameplay! Next video will have info on how you can win some shmoneyyyy 💪🏾
bought this game for 10 bucks at gamestop
This shit looks and plays like virtua tennis 3 except virtua tennis 3 was fun and wasn’t released on next gen consoles with previous gen graphics lol
Then the problem is solved
just from watching movement has no weight looks like players are skating not running, shots are twitchy (especially slice) it seems hard for devs to chain fluid body movement with a swing,also every player has generic forehand/backhand (just some animations appear different) it's a Virtua Tennis on steroids bscly..faces are god damn awfull to be blunt,on some ps3 shit..lack of licensed gear/tournaments/players..waste of assets on dumb story stuff they took from NBA games..like theres a lot of stuff that is wrong with this game,dare i say Top Spin 1 was better in almost 90% stuff that you want to see from tennis game
Decent..
Looks like the same, Dont think will buy again
so you bought the bad one and wont buy the good one.
5:43 2 to 3 minutes to load a match?? Holy shit that alone makes me not buy this game
It almost seems as tennis as a videogame culture is dead!! I mean, neither ao tennis 2 or tennis world tour 2 does deliver more than topspin 4 did all those years ago, and it’s a shame. I would like a big studio to make a new tennis sim, because these new titles a dreadful! Sure, some graphics are crisp but animations and overall presentation is really bad for a tennis title in 2021! And they expect us to swallow that bait and pay full price for indie titles! No thanks I’ve played ao tennis 2 for a couple of hours but it doesn’t feel and play like it should! And with that, my hopes for a good tennis sim went out the door!!!
Smash court 2 is the greatest Tennis game of all time.
Tennis video video game
Roland Garros was the best
You mean tennis world tour Roland Garros edition?
@@alessandrodelpierojuventus8156 No I meant Roland Garros 2005 Paris on ps2 Smashcourt Namco ,kzhead.info/sun/lpqSiaWZgHeHnqc/bejne.html
Hi 🍦🍦🍦
40 uk poundd for that utter shit. Aviod! Ripoff incoming.
50 euros is alot for a game like this... ALOT..
topspin3
cant watch a review that has someone standing in no mans land and complaining about gameplay
As someone who actually plays tennis a lot this game is a piece of shit
No Federer?
No but you can download a roster.
Currently £5 on Xbox store, worth that?
Top Spin 4 looks better than this
Tennis Elbow still the best and most realistic... sorry not sorry
Top Spin is good too but not as real it’s more arcade style it’s probably the best on console. Top Spin + Tennis Elbow = best
Why not saying it just sucks?!
Gameplay > Graphics ... but this game looks primitive.
It looks good at 4K
Big No No on this one 👎AI@godmode or what? The movements feels weird and it looks like players floating when running and gets awkward timing and crappy gamefeeling! I just can't recommend Aotennis to any one that actually likes the sports and art of tennis.
The best tennis game is mario tennis aces
This tennis game is awful, gameplay sucks big time! Lots of unwarranted faults, even for a veteran tennis player (in real life *and* on PC), it is impossible to master the moves, and AI is always perfect! Come on...
Nah, thats just embarassing. The best Tennis Game ever is still the very first Top Spin and thats almost 20 years old....also when Nintendo's Fungame Mario Tennis Aces is better than every serious Tennis simulation than you know whats up....if I would have developed this pile of shit I would be so ashamed....this is just...yeah no words....those players dont even use the right grip when they serve, man!!!! Who the fuck is responsable for this insult????
No this is the worst game ever. AI is bugged.
Like your face.
Nothing compared to top spin tbh
