Tennis Champs Returns 9+

Best tennis game around

This, to me, is the best tennis game available today on any platform, with or without a controller. It’s fantastic with so much hidden depth to the gameplay. Been playing for a few years now and still enjoy it! Would love to see some of the following added if it is updated in future (maybe for season 4?):

*A harder difficulty setting for experienced players
*More variation between surfaces e.g. make the clay a bit slower and grass/indoor a bit quicker
*Cap player development so you can only ever specialise in 2 or 3 surfaces / shots and not become too overpowered
*Make serves more of a weapon so it’s harder to return the biggest serves and allow for a few “cheap” points
*A few more upsets for CPU players during tournaments e.g. not seeing No. 1 ranked player in the final all the time
*A few less serve and volley players (as they can be easy to beat once you are experienced)
*Player list updated to match modern ATP/WTA tours would also be awesome. Imagine going up against Roger on grass, Rafa on clay or Serena in the US Open!

Even if not, I’ll continue to enjoy the game, so thank you!

Decent

It’s a good game however challenges are pointless! In one tie break I used the challenge function 3 times, all successful however what followed was dubious. Challenge 1: I served the ball to the opposite side of the service box to where my opponent was standing, ball called “out”, challenge made, ball was in, replay the point. The point is only replayed if the opponent makes contact, my opponent did not. Challenge 2: similar to number 1 however point was awarded because the ball was square-on the line. Much to my surprise my player was ready serving from the same side, I attempted the same serve again and was told that I had double faulted. Challenge number 3 was an exact repeat of number 2 but from the deuce side. This was only my 3rd match in this game and so far am satisfied with the game but the challenge option needs some serious work.

Developer Response ,

The CPU player doesn't attempt to swing once the ball is called out. The rule on replaying the point is if the shot was deemed "unreachable", and the game does try to asses that. IIf so, the point is awarded if the challenge finds the ball to be in.

Fantastic addictive tennis game

Found this game after buying and loving the football game SSC2018 by the same developer. Absolutely hooked on the career mode which takes you through a tennis season, competing in tournaments and earning coins & skill points to improve shots. Controls are either virtual controls or touch and with a bit of practice some amazing shots can be pulled off. Really recommend playing £1.99 for VIP access as a way to support the developer.
