    The card system makes this game even worse than the first game. Activate cards in online matches and boost your players stats OR lower your opponents stats! This isn't skill and doesn't belong in a tennis game. Avoid this at all costs and buy Tennis Elbow 2013, still the best tennis game ever made!

    Much better than the reviews say. The better you get at the game, the more realistic the tennis becomes. I've played a lot of Top Spin 4 which is considered the best, still. I think this is a valid upgrade.

    CHANGED TO NOT RECOMMENDED **Human vs Human gameplay = Sometimes fun, but frustration because of lack of control hurts the experience** **Human vs CPU or human vs human gameplay on expert = Broken (You can't even swing at most shots coming at you, even if the ball is hit right next to you)** Here is some human vs human gameplay. Nadal vs Federer (I am Nadal) - This is on Very Hard difficulty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OrudgRbt3A&t=166s **Some major problems exist with the gameplay**…

    My first look/overview can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18dYyc0TNgo Having only played for just over an hour, I have to say there was more I disliked than enjoyed about the game. The game seems to want to force your player into animations even if you don't press a button. This combined with the timing elements of shots means it's impossible to get into a rhythm. As an example, if you tap the button you do a weaker more accurate shot, if you hold down the button you do a more…

    Better than the reviews suggest by far, however they are somewhat accurate in their complaints, and I think some dev work on it could help improve it. Even as-is I think it's good as a tennis game past the initial hump, and as a game in general I think it's passable. Specific points: 1. "I can never release the button at the right time, it's random!" The timing mechanic is difficult to grasp, because it is "release a button 'at the right time'" ..with not enough feedback on when the 'right…

    I like the new system, the animation is not perfect though. The transition should be made fluid. Gameplay, not the best but not bad either like others are saying. Better than AO series and TWT1. Wish to have more camera angle selections. Yes I recommend this to others.

    Tennis world tour 2 is actually called AO tennis 3. Why? Beacose basic mehanics, timing, movement of the players, animations, ball speed, ridiculus unbalanced different type of shots are inherited from AO tennis, wich comes handy for the programers, since developers are the same guys who made AO franchise. This game when it comes to gameplay, has nothing in common from its predecessor, in fact it is completely AO cover. So, if u didnt like AO tennis, u prolly wont like this one either. The…

    Let me be a voice of reason here. I've read the other reviews for this game and I feel like those that wrote them have severe mental instabilities. Seeing as this is an early review, I will be brief and update as I play to better reflect this game. As it stands, this game is good. It's a HUGE step up from the first Tennis World Tour. Better animations, better sound, and overall better feel. It stills suffers from bad polish, similar to the first entry, but progress has been made. The new serve…

    This game was just okay. Although I don't have that much time on the game, I will try to give the most in-depth review that I can based on some of the things that I saw while playing it. Most of these will be comparisons to Topspin 4 but hope this helps for people that may be on the fence. Pros- Forehand and two handed backhand groundstrokes look good and the developers did a great job with the actual players animation. Volleys are much smoother than topspin and is a big upgrade in my…

    Yes, at the time of this review, I only have 40 minutes played, but I can most definitely say, that this game, is a great game. I compare this game to PES, even though PES is the "same" as Fifa, PES has a more realistic feel to it and it's a lot harder to master. AO Tennis 2 is a fantastic tennis game, but it's more friendly and easy to get used too. Tennis World Tour 2, has a more realistic feel and it's a lot harder to master, even on its most easiest difficulty. The graphics are incredible.…

    Initial Impression - A joyless career mode that I'm just not having any fun playing. I am actually a big fan of AO by the same devs, and even got a little bit of fun out of the patched up TWT... but this feels joyless - such a shame as I really wanted to like it. Technically it's far better at launch that TWT (not hard I know) but even then, I've had one crash to desktop in 90 mins played. I can see remnants of the AO player creator but its a cut down experience with less flexibility and…

    I like the game with no cards which is great. Otherwise very glitchy and not enjoyable when the game devs have not fixed issues that have been around since day one! If the game had regular updates, I would highly suggest this game but with how things have been for the last 6 months, I wouldn't hold my breath. EDIT: As of 02/05/2021 I had a look at the recent updates and these are a MASSIVE improvement. It is still clunky in some aspects and graphically unimpressive but the gameplay has gone…

    well for nearly an hour of gameplay i think i can say is that it's sucks at the Best! and it's not fun to keep getting hit back when your serve is good but the return is even better so it's not fun for those who have good serve! I will return this game because it's not the game i'm looking for!

    The game is mostly a buggy mess, with no real substance of replicating a real life Tennis pace, physics and movement. It plays like a PowerPoint presentation with no freedom of movement and shot making. These AA games are disappointing and good to avoid.

    Played almost 100h now and i like it a lot. Ok the card system is garbage, but can make sense to progress faster in carrier mode and you can put it off, just fix the bugs on this. (sometimes fun with speed of light serves) Some animations still are a bit weird specially when you defend and you teleport sangoku's style, pretty hard to get the timing right in that situation. But overall the sensations are great, you feel like you are playing tennis. Even if it's no TS4, really my favorite since i…

    Sure it's not perfect and the card system is just plain retarded - Is it the the best tennis game going around atm? By a long shot. Huge improvement over TW1 and the AO series. I have no problem with the speed and animations. I don't think most people have ever played or watched a game of tennis before! Game has huge potential and I hope they continue to support it.

    Postscript on October 31, 2020 I will add to my review as they are having a sale now. The "drastic update" hasn't come yet!! That's all. The following is my original review, on October 3, 2020. ------- First of all... If you're looking for a "REALISTIC TENNIS EXPERIENCE", I wouldn't recommend this game. Possibly, it will get a drastic update and get better, but at this time (October 2, 2020), it won't satisfy you. Right now, it's more of an outrageous rhythm game, than a tennis simulator.…

    There's some potential but overall it's a mess... again. - Shots frequently still don't match the input. You'll get a slice shot when you've press for top spin or a flat shot when you want a slice etc. and this happens even when you've supposedly timed the shot as "good" or "perfect". - Pro players seemingly have no identity or specific animations other than Nadal. Even Federer has a generic serve and swings, and NO ONE has realistic or personalised celebrations. For a game that wants to…

    Cant recommend the game at the moment. The ball moving too fast during unrelated animations, no signature shots. backhand slice is not even the right animation. The biggest issue of the game is the ball speed and animations. The new shot mechanic is a good direction but when the animation doesnt match its getting clunky and cheap. I mean, you could have invested more in NADALS and FEDERERS animations, the serve doesnt even look like its the actual player. When an opponent hits a drop shot the…

    I have been a tennis fan my whole life: I have played Virtua Tennis, Top Spin, Grand Slam Tennis, Dream Match Tennis Pro, and Tennis Elbow. Having played TWT2 game for an hour after buying it, I can say it's just not worth the money at all for the features you gain. I chose to buy this over AO Tennis because I really prefer the realistic and deep learning curve that Top Spin or Tennis Elbow provided, yet this one is nowhere near their caliber at all if you are looking for realistic and…

The developers followed the same pattern of silence with the community and did not push an update past April 23 and have not communicated to the community. There are a myriad of bugs, online wasn't working upon release, auto hit functions. Difficulty levels that just didn't make any sense. Easy was hard sometimes, yet normal was ridiculously hard at the beginning of your career. The training got to the point it was impossible to…

    Take Top Spin 4's control scheme exactly, remove all the polish put into it and you get this. Viciously clunky controls and a career mode with a massive difficulty spike right at the beginning. It's amazing how poor this game feels, even compared to last year's AO Tennis 2. AO Tennis 2 also has features that TWT2 doesn't have, like a stadium editor and decal sharing.

    where to start... Progression in career mode is basically you barely being able to move and serving like a little girl against player that will return everything and your only chance of winning is when they send the ball out (which happens a looot). You break other player's serve way easier than you win your own serves. They return your serve to the lines all the time and you can never reach, so the best approach is not to serve to the corners or your're dead. Totally unrealistic. The AI's…

I hope developers will fix shortcomings from simulation, camera angle and statistics of matches. By the way, I can't use Disputed decision on PC.

    I've chosen negative as there are just too many little things wrong with the game. It certainly has potential and is a definite improvement on TWT1 and the AO games. The little things bugging me are: - The net isn't involved in the game enough. Not enough 'lets', no 'net cords' whatsoever and not enough shots hit into the net in general. The net doesn't feel threatening. - Serving is too easy. My 1st serve percentage is always over 95%. - Impossible to serve an ace though unless playing with…

    The game is horribly harder than the first one. The ball goes long or in the net even when you are perfectly positioned and timed. The pace of the ball is horrendously fast which makes it very difficult to play rallies or hit good shots. Even the slice shot is terrifyingly fast like a topspin or a flat shot which makes no sense. Sometimes when you try to reach to the centre after hitting a ball, my player is stuck or goes in the other direction on its own. The gameplay of the first instalment…
