Cheap difficulty...not gonna keep you engaged for a long time
Well the game is not bad it is quite fun for a few days. SPT world tour is ridiculously easy. So after beating it, I can only have fun in training mode. Now that is where things start to get really awkward.
Theron Theniel in training gets really unbeatable after a certain level: he achieves crazy shots, like running from left to right corner and still managing a perfect top spin to your left corner deep in your baseline. Which is impossible to happen in tennis. Let alone some crazy diving shots with perfect a ccuracy and trajectory. This is stupid...
Another thing is that controls are not good at all. At lower levels of difficulty things are manageable, but as the difficulty increases you want more snappy controls. You will experience pushing the shot button and nothing happening, or changing direction and your player taking too long to respond. Another particularly thing is that it is nearly impossible to achieve a good volley shot: you pressure Theniel with deep shots in his baseline then you move forward to the net; Theniel shots the ball right at you and you being just right in front of the net perfectly positioned, most of the times you will do an out-of-balance semi-lob volley shot, although your position is perfect! Come on, this is stupid.
I paid for the game and it was good for a while, but cheap difficulty is something I cannot tolerate and is not “challenging”, just irritating.
It’s okay, but...
It’s a good game. A very good concept. And it gives you statistics of your career. I love that there are difficulties and you can choose how many sets and how many game there are in a set. This adds to realism as I can play 5 set matches in a grand slam and 3 set matches in the others.
What I don’t like:
Bojan Jankovic is way too overpowered. (From hard up). I can always give him a good game but in the end I lose in straight sets.
He returns everything. And wins points that he physically couldn’t in real life.
I play using swipe. Most of the time the ball doesn’t go the direction I swiped in. This happens a lot when I have a smash or a supershot.
Sometimes when I try to swipe to hit the ball, instead of hitting the ball, it moves to the point at which I ended my swipe. It seems scripted, which I know it’s not, but it’s still annoying.
There’s at least three gulfs in difficulty between normal and hard. I can double bagel Jankovic on normal. But on hard I always lose 7-6 7-6 or something like that. This is a long review but if you see this, thanks for reading. Have a good day!
Decent
Way to improve the game could be to increase the amount of sets you play and how many games in each set. As I feel a minimum of 4 games in a set is too short.
But make this a feature you can turn on or off therefore it won’t have a negative impact on anyone. Also as I’m black I can only choose from one guy with long hair, which I understand as there isn’t many top black players.
Sometimes the controls are unresponsive as you get further into a competition.
There is a problem with the sound as after ads sometimes it just cuts off.
Ads after every game is too frequent would be good after each set.
At times you can hear the game in the background of an ad and if it’s the opponents serve then you’re gone go 15-0 down.
It take extremely long to rank up, and needs to change as players don’t lose ranking points if they don’t do as well as expected.
However it was very enjoyable to play when the controls are responding to input.
