    A good new installment this year with the integration of MyPlayer. BUT: I'm talking about integration, not something new. And remember that MyPlayer is a mobile game; the core gameplay remains the career mode with our academy. It's nice to have MyPlayer integrated, it's fun and engaging to play, but in the case of TM 26, it shouldn't be seen as a complete game, but as a learning tool before moving on to Career mode for new players. In MyPlayer, you learn basic player styles, basic…

    I'm going to start with something that probably makes this review a little unusual: "I don't really like tennis. I don't watch tennis. But I love management games, and I really enjoy Tennis Manager 26." For me, that's probably one of the biggest compliments I can give the game. What keeps me playing is the management side. Player development, tactical decisions, running and developing your academy, scouting and watching everything you've built gradually progress make for a genuinely…

    Overall a fun time! I've played a couple of Tennis managers in the past and this one has some solid QoL improvements and upgrades compared to the last. One of the ones I highlighted in a previous game was being able to click on names in inboxes - that's now in the game so that was great to see. Overall positives: - Match engine is solid, the match feels as smooth as it can - Runs incredibly well - UI is smooth even if a bit tough to learn at first, but once you do it's straight forward and…

    1/10 STARS This is the very first time I've ever purchased "manager game" that was over $20.. and to say the least, for a $40 GAME, this was a DISAPPOINTMENT. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT BUYING THIS GAME? READ THIS REVIEW!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNTIL YOU READ! Let me give you a solid breakdown on why this game has the potential to be great and why the developers tried to just slop a mobile game into a "PC-made" game for damn near quadruple the price ! MyPlayer mode is about as SIMPLE as it…

    Wonderful ★★★★★ 'My player' mode is awesome and great. This is a new type of 'Career Mode' found in other tennis games, which allows me to experience the excitement and tension of a tennis match with significantly less game playing fatigue. One thing that I couldn't be satisfied from this game is only outdated graphics, but it is acceptable because this is a simulation game like a football manager.

    I would recommend it. it's fun. I would have loved to see regular season doubles as well, instead of just in the World Cup of tennis.

    Good game, play it every year and it always consumes me for a few days, the language translation is always an issue because the creators are not native English speakers, but once you get over that you can just dive in

    The last TM I played was 23, so I can't evaluate this as a yearly update from last version. That being said: this game is a really good sports sim. The 3D match presentation is really high quality, and the tennis action is intense. There are TONS of options for strategy and gameplay, and a really indepth system to setup training programs for your players. Facilities have lots of different upgrades so managing your academy has plenty of meaningful decisions. It's clear this was heavily…

    Great game, beat in the semis by a Brazilian wonderkid. Somethings never change.

    It is smoother and I found better on lower graphics. A fun game and good for tennis managing. It needs a doubles mode/tournaments though, so you can have your academy players play doubles. Even in MyPlayer being able to play doubles and trying to become good at both.

    So I've been playing Tennis Manager since the first one and this has the potential to be great, unfortunately it's been let down, I will wait until Tennis Manager 27 to see if it improves, the games seems to be getting worse, glitchy and very annoying.

    The new UI is great. Several QoL changes have made this game fun and much much better than the mediocre Football Manager 26. But it still lacks some basic features for a sports management game. Like staff contract renewal. I have to click back to the profile and then go back to offer a contract. Vital information about salary and bonuses should be available at a glance. But, recommended without a doubt! The developers are actively listening to the players and respond positively.

    Excellent upgrade from last year. I love the new content. I'll be playing this one for quite a while.
