12:25 how´s the name of that other game you mention?

the only quality of this game is that they rushed to get it out BEFORE tie break there is no real career mode and servers, omg, are awful like we're in 2005

This game is broken. It’s the definition of people making a game that know nothing about the sport. Players like Sampras and McEnroe are unplayable. And why dose Federer only have skills that target serve and volley players. The patches only ruined the game and favored certain players. Waste of money. Topspin4 is better by far.

The overall graphic fidelity is definitely bad. But from what I'm seeing, ball physics are *chef kiss*.

Tennis Elbow 4 on steam deck is my number 1 choice.

Gameplay wise top Spin 2k25 is far better License wise tiebreak is better

Keyboard wariors in online play as its easier to hit hard angle shoots.

Is there a way to remove those energy and other stats that are left of your player? It kinda takes away from the immersion

This is the best guide on TE4 mechanics, thanks so much for making it! One thing I'm still confused about is the movement. It seems like the player has a hard time changing direction, and yet when I see high level gameplay they are able to move much quicker. Is there a stutter step mechanic? What am I missing here?

I had no goals until I started raiding. I learned how to play/gear and then legendary items to work towards.. from that I learned to make my own goals, and it works with ANYTHING in gw2. You just gotta know what you want.. talk to other players, best way to understand what you want out of gw2.

isnt not possible for autocast without a numpad keyboard ?

Please stop talking about Tennis Elbow it is a PC game that is very outdated a game from the late 90s.

Speaking on the Career mode: It’s horribly made a the energy system is a horrible design choice. For example I could start in the ATP Finals in December with 100% energy and by the end of the first match I’d have 70-80% stamina and by the end of the group stage I’d have 30% risking injury (happens when you are 35% and below). Basically it’s impossible to play ‘real tennis’ mode or ‘topspin’ mode because they are too long and EVEN when I did ‘short set’ I sometimes found myself losing 25% a game. Yes I upped stamina but it really doesn’t matter. Also the wide service meta is used by the ai to somewhat of an effect as if I’m playing someone like sinner for example, who has a great serve attribute, it’s almost impossible to win that point if his serve is correct (which from hard difficulty up which is what I play on is 60% of the time) Finally the only takeaway I have from Topspin2k25 is that the ‘Topspin Academy’ is actually very informative and good at teaching playstyles, the devs vision was to definitely make this game tactical but instead the usual 2k money grabbers decided 50-80 pounds wasn’t enough. Shambles but it’s the only tennis game I’ve played in a hot minute so I guess it’s in the same boat at the situation with EAFC

Have you played tiebreak? Will you recommend to buy it on preorder?

Please tell us about single player content review? Your only focus is multiplayer ?

i wish there was a documentation for TE4, like wtf is breath/energy/shorttermform/stress, how does it affect players, im playing career, and i cannot find any explanation about that, like for breath is a little bit obvious, when you run out of breath you miss more shots, but what is the percentage ? and for energy it seems to go down very very slow, like should i make my oponent(CPU) tired and play around that? the concept is good, but it is not well explained, poorly simulated for when you reduce number of sets/number of games per sets, i guess it only works if you wanna play full game sets, but in career mode thats too long wtf is focus and these mental stats, wtf is muscle tone, wtf is acceleration trait, too many questions i can see why the game doesnt appeal for new players,

Is Tweener and back shots exist?

Great video! TE3 and TE4 player here.

One question: Can you create 99 overall players in Tiebreak?

thanx, i was waiting for this guide i’m playng this game for 5 days and i use pro 6 of difficult, i lose almost all the match, but i dont want change it😂

(I've never played TE4, but I am assuming it plays the same way as TE3, fundamentally) One tip for aiming: as soon as you hold a shot button to hit it, your player plants themselves in position and starts preparing to hit the ball. That means you want to plant your player in position when they are within reach of the ball, otherwise they will miss it. So only start aiming when you are holding down a shot button, and only try to hit the ball when your player is within react of the ball. With practice, you will instinctively know how big the aiming indicator is and how fast it moves in either direction, after you decide to turn off the aiming indicator

Great explanations, this time I have nothing to add, well done ! 👍

Question: I play with 2D courts, real pics of tennis venues. How do you shut off generic lines men and chair umpires on the screen? I play with XKT mode.

Played 100% Career. For me it was a lot of fun, BUT: In every turnament i played in the last rounds (semi/Final) against Alcaraz, Fritz or Medvedev, sometimes (previously) againgst Tiafoe and Shelton! Berrettini and Murray hardly ever. The first tournament rounds against fictional opponents. That fact was pretty boring! Tournaments with such less real Players! 😬 Support Team and Coaches with tasks are good, trainings and special events too!

How to remove the black ops linesman judges guys??

New Tie Break video now that the preorder is on? ❤

This game is amazing! The best tennis game I have ever seen (by far!). I'm only having trouble to change the number of sets in unique tournaments (do Grand Slams with best of 3 is too much for me), but with this discord tip I'm hoping to find a answer for it. Thanks!

Thank you! Short and simple :D

Don't be worried about getting ascended gear unless you're heavy into crafting. All you need are ascended trinkets and exotic gear. You can get trinkets for Laurel's you can do season 3 and 4 to obtain them. You just need the first expansion

At the moment I’m playing TE4. Which is great, we all know what it lacks so no need to go there. 2K25 pissed me off 🤬. Soooooo disappointed! Especially the moola I spent 💸💸💸🤦🏾‍♂️. Anyway looking forward to this title. Looks so much more enjoyable.

Are you using a shader, and if so what shader are yah using ?

If we play online and offline, is there an issue having this mod while you play online, or do you need to disable\uninstall when you play online? Thanks in advance.

Would you consider TB game mechanics similar to AO2? I’ve recently started playing it being tired of TP2k25 and was wondering if they are similar

tennis elbow 4 for tennis games is what richard burns rally is for rally games a really hard and fun simulation

Really like the look of tiebreak looks realistic and some great lifelike animations of the player styles may try it in early access to me looks more like tennis top spin

This is horrible...sorry

Great video! Looking forward to future videos!

Fantastic video, I’m not a begginer in the game but everything you said was truly useful information for new players, it would be great if after your series of begginer videos is done the link to these videos is shown on the servers permanently or even in the game itself on the tutorial idk hahaha keep it up

Does it have more of a roster of players than 2k25?

love this game... Manutoo is a genius! It's made by a tennis lovers for tennis lovers around the world... it's a game full of soul and personality... quite unique in every way, and differently from full ace, the developer doesn't burn you or implies you are stupid for asking something...

I still prefer 2D gameplay of Tennis Elbow 2013. Player's movements are much more realistic with mods than TE4, don't know how

Can i install these modes on console?

Can you properly serve and volley in this game? No videogame has ever got this right.

Great video to welcome newcomers into the Tennis Elbow world ! 2 things though : - to avoid the FPS drop from the Crowd applauding, disable "Crowd animation" instead of Near & Far Crowd Density - you'll find many questions already answered in the Mana Games forum and can of course ask new ones ; I usually answer every morning 🙂

TE4 is fire 🔥. It’s a shame bigger game companies aren’t reaching out to this Developer. With a bigger team and capital to support the graphics would be outstanding next level. They already have the game play down to a T!

That’s for this great informative video!

I needed this. I have reached Pro 3 so far and it's challenging for me. I'm losing a few matches and winning some. Lol tried a few matches in Pro 10 and I lost quite badly lol. Don't know how people play in Incredible 😂😂😂

Great vid. The button layout and shot config still confuses me a bit (using ps4 controller). Be great to have your controller overlay on screen in a game as you explain the shots as you play.

People that are playing against the CPU at Incredible 10 need to go touch grass EXPEDITIOUSLY

The run movement is still weird, not realistic like what we see on tennis games. Something is wrong with the foot movement and body is stiff up while running. Needs to correct this. Maybe make the run animation in TS2k25 as the basis on how the proper foot and body movement were done. From there make the necessary adjustments.
