aim deeper into the court (move your joy stick more up), so your perfect shots can actually do some serious damage sometimes.

[@grahamwebb1367]

when you lob the opponent attack the net giving them less chance to regain a good position from running back to hit it

Tennis elbow and full ace tennis are way better

[@Tencraft1235]

@@MikyTruePowa for 95-99% of people who aren't hardcore tennis fans topspin is better. Also TE and FAT are only on PC, many (most probably) players play on consoles.

[@paranoidpixie95]

I haven't had a chance to play this just yet but it looks like it plays very similar to Top Spin 4. So a little tip for conserving your stamina is to use control shots, which is done by tapping the button at the right time instead of holding. Most of your shots are attempts at power shots that aren't fully charged up (you'll know they're at max power when the red circle appears). If there's just a white ring that doesn't make its way around 360 degrees, it won't come off as a proper power shot, and therefore you expend stamina without the benefits of a powerful stroke. You pretty much want every single shot you make to be either a control shot to dictate the play, or a power shot to put your opponent under pressure and win the point.

[@PLRNZOO]

Great video, thank you! Fwiw It’s super important in tennis to aim deep(push up on the joystick while aiming), otherwise the opponent just tees-off on your shots and force you on the defensive. Hitting deep will also make your winner attempts much more successful.

[@LiamApilado]

I see that you hit to where the opponent isn’t but there is a huge benefit in tennis to hit cross court more than down the line :)

[@Mathewchallenges479]

SIMON PLAYING TENNIS IS AMAZING ❤

[@mrbenizzle4087]

Early access starts the 23rd! The game is mad fun tho! Glad to see one of my fav creators get the early early access lol

[@Dev-fn6vt]

Already love this series

[@Dustbrush]

As a former D1 college player, I am pumped to see a solid tennis game getting a little attention!! Only recommendation would be to keep it cross court, once you get a short ball play it down the line and follow it into the net and finish it with a volley. Great video, look forward to seeing more!

[@lukesono5687]

Your form is quality

Never been a tennis fan or into the sport but game looks really good

[@MaxAlex0501]

I love watching him shout stamina! This was the best use of my time.

[@moooshimooto]

This is gonna be a lovely seri3s

[@TheKaipeters99]

try changing your tactics a bit. If the ball lands in the service box move up to it, defend with slice so the ball doesn't sit up for them and try to wrong foot them (don't always just hit where the space is). Also use angles from the back i.e. get the ball wider not just deep

[@flightteamforlife3444]

please continue this series

[@jeroen9714]

When the Sega Dreamcast released back in the days I loved playing Virtua Tennis 2 (arcade like controls, easy to learn, hard to master against good players). Recently I bought AO Tennis 2 on the PS5 to get back into sports/tennis games. It feels more like a mixed arcade/simulation compared to Virtua Tennis 2 and I still need to get the hang of it. Now I'm wondering if I should buy Top Spin 2K25 and what makes it the different (better?) game compared to AO Tennis 2 (if that's the case)? Similarities/differences?

[@PLRNZOO]

The movement in topspin games generally feel more fluid than AO tennis and some of the recent tennis games. The movement in AO tennis specifically felt in consistent and didnt always do what you intended. Virtua Tennis is easier to pickup and play and has less realism than TopSpin, but both are quality games with good gameplay mechanics

[@jesp-pctech9196]

TS2k25 is very similar to TS4. In TS4, it has many variety of shots, regardless they are top spin, flat, or sliced and I am presuming TS2k25 do the same. Like for example, try to play TS4 using top spin stroke only, if you will look closely how the character hit its forehand, you will noticed the character is using different variations depending on position of the of the character to the ball, the intentioned ball direction, and how hard the stroke was. Its not a one top spin stroke style for every situation. Flat and sliced strokes in Backhand also has variations. Other tennis games out there are very limited in this scenario. Try to examine their strokes in videos. This makes TS strokes animation very realistic regardless they are signature strokes of real pros. This is why I love watching the characters playing in TS2k25 videos, its like watching real tennis game on TV.

[@jeroen9714]

Thanks @PLRNZOO and @jesp-pctech9196 for your reactions! I think I'm going to pre-order the game! Only thing I'm not sure about us if I should get standard, deluxe or the Grand Slam Edition of the game. But I'm looking forward to practice (a lot) and play online. 😀

[@nangaeboko6710]

@@jeroen9714if you buy Grand Slam or Deluxe.. they are available to play right now!

[@jesp-pctech9196]

​​@@jeroen9714It depends to your budget and what you are up to in tennis games. In my case since at present I have limited budget, I preordered Standard. But I am going to buy any premium center court pass later if I found (while playing) any premium item rewards that looks interesting to me.

[@comford9414]

My guess is he only moves his joystick left and right with no thoughts to control the depth of the ball at all... When he does the 2nd training, he doesn't need to do a drop shot he just needs to aim down!!!

[@comford9414]

All the shots are landing on the service line when you perfect timed shots just indicates that you're not moving your joystick up to hit any deep balls at all!

[@kingeaj8107]

You're standing in the court too much, you should stand behind the baseline more to have more time to hit a perfect shoot and a better quality shot

[@vivek_sheokand]

Why is every shot to one left one right, one left one right

[@danielnevill7258]

You’re winning the points where you play on the baseline, the point you loose is when you’re standing too far forwards in between the service box and baseline which is called “no man’s land” because you don’t want to be stood there

[@patrykstachowicz]

How come do you not move your stick when serving and hiting the ball back. Every serve is in the middle, not to the left and right and every hit over the net is in the middle of the court - not in the back or a shorter one o_O

[@akaBPhife]

Ball retrievers that DON'T retrieve balls 😏😂😂

[@MatejKavcic17]

You hit it many times the way he ran so he could hit it back, you have to hit it the same way 2 times and it would be better
