    Currently, there are a few major issues with this game that really prevent me from recommending it. The shell of the game is there, it lets you watch the match which other management sims don't, and it could be great. But... First, injured players. If you aren't the direct coach (can only be the coach for a single player on your team) you cannot make them forfeit a match. The game says that it will pull injured players for you for rehab until they are better. This, sadly, is just a lie. The…

    Have been testing simming matches, seems results are pre determined! Have tried multiple tactics and setups, you will always lose a game even if you sim it like 25 times over and over, same for winning a match, very frustrating

    My purchase is Zealand's fault. Fun sports management game for a decent price point. Even if you don't know much about tennis (like me) I think you'll enjoy this if you like the sports management genre.

    The game seems good in almost every aspect except for the fact that I couldn't find a way to spectate any of the matches of players in your academy that you aren't actively coaching. What is the point of having more than one player if you can't even watch them play? Everything I've read online has echoed the fact that it isn't possible to spectate these matches unless they are in a final. If this is changed, or I missed how to do this I will change this review but otherwise I can't recommend…

    Refuse to give a poor review of the game as when it operates as it should its a terrific amount of fun. However in the hopes of game devs reaching out, in its current state it is unplayable. It has crashed on me no fewer than three times as well as each time causing major issues with my gaming laptop. the first two times under the same saved game file i had a mod activated and then the third and most recent where i deactivated the mod and started a new saved game file. I'll attempt my most…

    Vast improvements which make the game flow well, love the new animations in matches which make things more realistic not to mention the cool little feature of the cinematics in matches. Improved stats and features and the Davis cup and Olympics and doubles also is a nice touch. Highly recommend if you’re a tennis fan and even if you just like your management games, this is a lot of fun.

    I like the game although it isn't worth 40$, it has tons of flaws that I'd expect to be easy to fix, and will often crash when you load into a game. however it IS a fun game. The reason I can't recommend it is because after 10 hours of playing I loaded it up to continue and found that my save was just not there, its as if I never started a career in the first place.

    Not a bad game really, decent afk game. Unless you really want to micromanage. Only big issue I've had with it so far is that the player's confidence meter doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥ in game. Your player can be balanced and playing like ♥♥♥♥. Meanwhile opponent is anxious, indecisive, no confidence, and somehow be playing the best game of their career suddenly. Also tactic reports are garbage, they don't seem to work at all. I did the opposite of the tactic reports and seemed to work out much better.…

    There is no way to save a game, exit the game. And if you alt tab and close it with steam. That kills your auto save file. So each time you start the game you have to start from nothing. There is no way to continue a saved game.

    In principle I love the game and I loved previous versions, but the current MAC version crashes too many time when the game has to do complex operations (like filtering players) and the game becomes suspended till I force quit. I hope this get fixed. PS I have a brand new MAC MINI M2

    A good game that gets better with each version. The 3D engine looks really nice, and makes for a great watch. There's a lot of mechanics to work with to improve your players and facility, and a lot of decisions to make with how to spend money. A lot of it is FM inspired, but that's not a bad thing since FM is also good. Create an academy is really nice because you can create an academy from the ground up and really make it feel like it's your own. Even if you aren't a fan of tennis, this game…

    Tennis Manager 2023 developed and published by Rebound CG is a detailed sports management simulation that focuses on the strategic, analytical, and developmental aspects of professional tennis rather than the direct control of athletes during matches. Designed for players who enjoy complex management systems and long-term career progression, the game places the player in the role of a tennis academy director responsible for scouting talent, training players, managing finances, and guiding…

    Everything is great and just what i expected and more but the game itself is too hard and thus unsatisfying. I'm not playing games to curse and lose hair in my free time. EDIT: No, this game is very hard if you're not a tennis pro. Somehow my player that is ranked #317 lost 18 simulated matches against #474. This is not a game for you if you're not from the world of tennis.

    Great simulation, with a few lacking features. Firstly, tactics often lead to a reduction is stat areas where you would expect an increase and vice versa. For example, I use a modified big serve tactic where I refine it to be more aggressive. However, the player makes less aces than when they were a counter-attacker. Additionally, I wish there was doubles, at least at grand slams, and would even sacrifice juniors if we could get that.

    This game feels criminally underrated, despite the overall good reviews. If you're even remotely interested in tennis and/or sports sims, you should definitely consider buying this. Well worth the price for how deep it is. I've played ~22 hours thus far, and have progressed about a year. You can go at your own pace, but I like checking in on my players and exploring the game world for new prospects from countries that don't traditionally produce tennis studs. Quick side note: Get the TM…

    The games just crashes and keeps crashing!!! It does what it promises but crashing multiple times when you play it it's unacceptable. I even started saving in multiple files to prevent damage to the file. I just had enough. Uninstalling it.

    I played Tennis Manager 2021 last time because was so cheaper and I play this game 2 hours for the moment because I bought today. I can say this game is awesome, for all the Tennis fans, I recommend so much, and if you aren't fan of Tennis and you're interested on the game, if you don't know anything for the sport, the game has a good tutorial. Congrats all the developers, I hope you will do Tennis Manager 2024, and one shoutout for the guy that do the Licences on Workshop.

    Amazing stuff Rebound! Third opus has reached a certain maturity. Matches very pleasant to watch now and nice addition with the world cup. GG! a few bugs (which will be fixed surely) and surprisingly hard to run game though, only negative point there is the optimisation, but hey, with the match engine change it was to expect. Super hyped by the game!

    This is already a really cool game and it can be so much more, if the team keeps on building. Of course, there are a lot of things that need improvement. However, given that this is basically the 3rd edition, the game looks and feels pretty pretty good. I hope that with future editions we will get a few more features and more in-game depth (still a bit shallow). Currently the fun lasts for maybe 50 hours but I see no reason why it couldn't last for hundreds of hours.

    An amazing manager game. I love any sport manager games, and this is a MUST have. Good gameplay improvements from last year's game. Love the addition of Fed Cup (Team Games) / Olympic Games and that you can be the captain of Fed Cup teams. Looks cleaner from last year's game, and love the addition of doubles matches in Fed Cup. Would love for that to be implemented outside of Fed Cup too. Overall much recommended.

    seems to be a bug recruiting staff which means i can't progress past that day. I'm recruiting them as a trainer and confirming doesn't work. i also can't dismiss. so i'm pretty much stuck on my first game ever. Edit: yes. totally my fault. there wasn't room for another staff. that was why i couldn't proceed. it's not very clear, in that sense, from someone who's played A LOT of football manager.
