What is most amazing, very accurate and realistic in this game is footwork. Man if only other sports titles (like basketball) achieved the level of footwork this game has...Very good game, both for Tennis enthusiasts and casual players.

Totally agree! I was watching some gameplay videos and was amazed.

A few questions...

I'm seeing tournament complaints, that you can't play a tournament outside of career mode. Are you able to use existing players in career mode or do you have to create someone?

Also, is the lack of commentary effecting anyone's experience? I hated this about last year's game.

1. Pretty sure you have to use a CAP in career mode. I never saw an option for using a pro.

2. It can, at least for me. During the flow of a rally it doesn't matter much IMO, but for big/exciting winners or in between games and sets, it's a bit of a let down to not get some type of commentary. The atmosphere in general is pretty unimpressive to me.

Only user created player can be used in career mode.I'm hoping 2k will release a patch or even better a DLC adding content like tournaments/players.
Commentary would be great only if it is at NBAk11 level.Dynamic commentary with lots of stories about players/tournaments plus various comments about tactical approach of each player on the court.Also two options for commentary:
1) Court Real time: Comments only when a point is scored by players.
2) TV Real Time: Comments when ball is in action and after a point is scored.
