I can only imagine every one of his opponents is also narrating through each point, saying "you're going in the spin cycle now" every point

It is as he says, the game mechanics and gameplay looks tight and fun af but they need to balance the matchmaking for fair matches (if they have enough players for that). Really fun watch as always.

No XP for losses is just bad game design, unless of course your overriding priority is enticing p2w. Which makes it par for the course for 2K.

@charlottenelken Ай бұрын

Anti-spin cycle: instead of going cross court, he puts the ball on the side he just hit it to, to confuse the opponent, something like that!

@collinpitts7326 Ай бұрын

@@lynhehe I play tennis, he’s not referring to top spin when he says anti-spin, I think the other commenter is probably right

@joshy3614 Ай бұрын

He means hitting it to the side the opponent had hit it from, which they are closer to, instead of hitting it to the other side. Usually you want to hit it away from your opponent to keep the tempo of the point in your favor, but since there is input delay and people don’t have the best reaction times with this game, you can catch the opponent off guard by hitting it to them instead of away from them. That’s what NL means by anti-spin.

@losarex Ай бұрын

@gotaplanstan Ай бұрын

So glad NL got the game and played it, so I don't have to. Been a tennis player and fan for 3 decades, and enjoyed games going back to the NES and og Gameboy ones...and this game? Just isn't it. Looks so very very mid, that I'll probably not even keep an eye out for sales, and just hope for something better from another dev...like maybe we'll get another Hot Shots game, cuz the last 2 of them blow this away in the gameplay department

@Maegnas99 Ай бұрын

Why does this game look exactly like the original top spin on xbox, and play no better than the tennis mini games in GTAV from 2013?

I know it shouldn't, but it tilts me a bit when he say "serve and volley player" . Every player needs to volley sometimes. Volleying is not exclusive to some players and is one of the best ways to finish a point.
