Tiebreak Early Access 6 - NEW Patch Summary: What's New? What Changed?

[@machetegaming]

Oh I forgot to mention one important addition - WTA Finals court. You can see how the court looks like a lot in this video.

[@vitorius2647]

In all honesty, its looking very promising,im starting to like this more than 2k25. It's on my wishlist on ps5 already.

هل اللعبة موجودة على الاكس بوكس

[@santipecollo1]

not in gameplay, still sucks this game.

[@robertgout530]

​@santipecollo1 indeed, I wish movement is more realistic instead of arcade

[@lum1notryc828]

It's literally horrible in everyday lmao. Gameplay, animations...

[@lucasnicastro8731]

Thanks again for the overview and in such short notice! The heavy top spin tactic is what concerns me, because this can easily turn matches stale. In real tennis, a player would react and different players would adapt to such tactic, encouraging change.

[@machetegaming]

It's concerning indeed. High/Medium-reward + Low/No-risk shots are never good for tennis games.

[@TheWokeSportsFan]

Sinner animations are literally some of the best in the game lol. Cmon man. Even though his move set is called snappy instead of Sinner u should know he had his own animations. Loving the update, and love the vids bro. Keep up the great work!

[@machetegaming]

Ye, my bad on that one 😅 Almost all other new players have loads of generic animations tho

[@teniente_cvrs9481]

Tennis is a really complicated spor t, thats why make a videogame of this is so difficult.

[@rvtsecure]

Btw sinner has his own animations, its called snappy tho not sinner

They need to overhaul the serving to have similar serving mechanics to ao tennis 2 serving with a power timing gauge. I should have freedom with the serve, doing a underarm serve to surprise an opponent thats well behind the baseline. Nothing more thrilling than serving an ace with a powerful server like Nick Kyrios. I should have the ability to serve a similar ace count to what the top servers in the game are doing. Should be a serve shot modifier that allows for special signature serves that the top servers in the game have. I want to have the choice of doing a fast or slow serve the more power I put into my serve the more taxing it is on my energy levels. Going all power on a second serve should come with more risk than going all power on the first serve. If you're in a 5 set match and serving power serves in a fifth set have it impact on the energy levels of your player. I want to have the choice of serving a 180km serve in the corner out wide or down the t with a bomb at 230ks plus I want to take the risk and serve a bomb on a second serve this would make this game worth a purchase if they implement all this and I want hawk eye just like it was in ao open 2. For second serve if you take the risk of doing a maxed out power serve just shorten the timing response on the power gauge to increase the risk of a double fault. Not having the ability to score an ace is an epic failure serving is a big part of the game of tennis. I want to know what speed I'm doing for every serve and not be forced to look at the speed clock in the stadium, not every stadium has a speed clock so I wont know what speed my serve has done. Big Ant hope you're reading this comment bring back the thrill of serving an ace whats the point of using a player with an incredible of serve if it cant be a weapon in the game. Make it harder to return a fast serve by having a timing gauge on the returning shot and depends on the returning ability and energy levels of the opponent to the success of the return. I want to do an ace with nick kyrios one of the best servers in the game give me that ability. Have the speed of serve beside the power/energy timing gauge or beside the names of the players and scorecard at the bottom of screen. Come on big Ant u have potential with this game just upgrade the serving and return of serve. Should have a skill to the serving where you enter into two different timing gauges for power and spin. Also on a final note a nice touch to serving would be giving me the choice to bounce the ball before serving gives a sense of realism to the game. Bouncing the ball helps with the ball toss another component of serving that should be addressed ball toss should have a timing gauge for this. If you time the ball toss and power gauge perfectly with a powerful server should be rewarded with an ace against an opponent that has poor awareness or defensive skills or a good player with low stamina levels that's positioned in the wrong part of the court. Will be closely monitoring the early access of this game to see if any of this has been implemented. My last purchase was ao tennis 2 please make this game my next tennis game I purchase since watching wimbledon I have the desire to play a new tennis game.

[@sucia1984]

Looks like slow motion

[@newdraftanimations]

Can't wait for the full release! If you would give a score to the early access 1 and one to this last version, which marks would they be?

[@machetegaming]

I can't answer that since I haven't played Tiebreak back then. Maybe somebody else with longer experience with the game will be able to 🙂

[@gmagno]

EA1 2/10 EA6 4/10.... game is still crap.... doesn't matter how many players it has

[@rvtsecure]

Ea 1 - 4 EA 6 - 6.5/7

[@jjgittes43]

Sinner has its own anims, but they are not listed as his own signature moves.

[@machetegaming]

So "snappy" animations are his signature animations?

[@NickyGi]

@@machetegamingYes

[@thaihoangcfc]

If they can fix that weird backhand slide animation

[@henrychang2267]

Does anybody know when this will be fully released? And whether there will be Steam achievements upon full release?

[@machetegaming]

Full release is happening supposedly on the 22nd of August.

[@bilalkhichi6554]

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

[@flaw3dgenius222]

Dam sounds like they are trying to add much more but in doing so its starting to go backwards. Just when i had hope for a good console Tennis game they go and ruin it.

[@hamzahrafiq5675]

It does look nice but to me at times the ball speed looks quite slow but i do like the vast variety of animations for players.

[@machetegaming]

I guess its a matter of preference. Have you tried the game yourself? When I watch the footage, it does look a bit slow. But when I play the game, ball feels quite fast actually. It's weird.

[@hamzahrafiq5675]

@machetegaming I guess we'll have to wait until the game is released. So hopefully by then they will have addressed the main issues.

[@gmagno]

This game is the equivalent to getting a box of beautifully wrapped assortment of chocolates but the actual chocolate is bland AF.... 10000 players.... great face graphics (UE5)... great serve animations... but the rest is pure crap.... TERRIBLE gameplay

[@shermannreis3296]

Just the same...a mix from Twt and aotennis...looks the same boring and bad game...

[@gmagno]

finally somebody who is not blind... this game is TERRIBLE

[@shermannreis3296]

@@gmagno for sure buddy. Worst tennis game made!! Really bad. Bad animations. Bad moviment. Bad ball physical. Only nice thing is the serve movie set. They are serving well. Real moviment. But the camera, on the moment, its terrible. Hahaha

[@theFedHD]

Yeah Sinner’s serve is decent but overall pretty disappointing, and there were people saying “they’re gonna update it and make it better” hahhah now what?

[@lminstinct]

yes, it's TWT 2.5 with a bad physics and bad gameplay. Impossible to rivalise against top spin. Juste the faces better and signatures moves

[@theFedHD]

Sinner’s serve looks decent, forehand looks meh, but the game overall? I’m laughing at those who said “there are still updates, the game’s gonna be good” and I always told them “there’s not enough time, this is what you’ll get”, as we see, game is the same with some minor changes, huge problems still remain, as expected (and it’s normal, there’s not enough time to fix it, maybe if they had a year, maybe), well, at the end of the day, de gustibus no est disputandum.
