Hi
I have played many matches during my near 40 hours of gameplay on Tiebreak.


I have played to Ao tennis 2 and Tennis World Tour 2 after some games on TieBreak.
The animations on TieBreak are clearly better. Not perfect but going to the right direction.
I have seing some slinding animations on clay, some nice animations behind the line.


But the big issue for now is playing foreward to the net : the animations are the same than behind the line, it’s not realist at all. I want to see some volley and a nice touch like players did.


I’ve seen some strange teleportations too because of a lack of transitions between some animations. The mouvements of our player are sometime stranges and didn’t worked well. It is going forward even when we have didn’t touch our pad…


Maybe the really big issue is the AI. The server always strikes on the opposite corner with no variation. And most of the exchanges are left to right, etc…


AI on AO tennis 2 and Tennis World Tour 2 were far better and more challenging.
Too many balls are going to the net even if the timing was great.


But I have some really nice fun to play but the game has a lot of potential.
The graphism are great but I have a ghost shadow beside my player. Not when I’m playing on my Asus Rog Ally.


Stamina, Hawk eye and more players should be soon available, I hope.
It’ s a good alternativ game to Top Spin 4, waiting for Top Spin 2K25.
I love the service feeling with the striggers.


With more progress on animations, the better net game, variety on AI, the game could be a really nice game. It has its own proper personnalty






For now, the big problem of this game is the AI, who made non stop left to right rallies.
The animations since the last patch are better, less teletransportation but the volley is another big problem.
The animations on TWT2 when you go to net were not perfect but better than TieBreak


I have made some videos, recorded on my laptop with a 3070ti, to have a better quality than on my Rog Ally. The game runs at 240 fps on it so the videos at 50/60 fps looked sometime strange
