when?
this is the often overlooked game made by 2k that is fantastic. There is not a tennis game that has been close to this one. I'm not a tennis fan, but love the top spin series.

That would add a lot of replay and realism to Top Spin3 and would be a way of getting around player licences that was unaquired.

I think if Top Spin did that they'd risk infuriating a player or a player's representation that they need for future versions of the game. Unlike College Football (which doesn't use real names because of eligibility issues), Top Spin has professionals who are making money on their exclusives to deal with.

EA does it with Fight Night. You can create any boxer and place him in the career mode.

So far the only review I've read is the OXM review and it gave Top Spin 3 a 9/10.

Didn't this game drop May 20? Has it been pushed back? Why no reviews?

Ok I see it was pushed back to June 23.

I think it's been out in Europe a month or so, but I may be wrong.

Either way I'm hyped for this.

Blumenthal (Z) and I are going on Wednesday to see the game, just reminding people once again. There is a thread in the other sports game room where you can post last minute questions.
