You are entitled to your opinion. However many people are stoked about NBA 2K11's historic teams, and many people wanted past stars to be available as DLC in Topspin 3. I think it will work.

I play a ton of tennis every week and I can't wait to possibly have a video game that does the real game justice again.

Tennis is simply a great console sport if done properly. I love the Agassi concept too. There are not a ton of current stars in Tennis, so bringing back the classics is a good idea.

THIS.

I used to play basketball. Everyone's "other" sport was golf, but mine was tennis. I love the sport, but it's hard for me to get into it with the lack of American stars. I'm anticipating the release of TS4 almost as much as NBA 2K11. The last time I played as Agassi was in Smashcourt Tennis.

The one thing missing from almost every tennis game is COMMENTARY. Such an essential part of watching tennis on TV at least, and for any sports game really is commentary. If TS4 was able to get a solid commentary team it would be awesome.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Looks like they did get some greats... Courier, Sampras and Agassi based on the screens

This game is going to be amazing.

Can't wait.

I have not played any new gen tennis titles. I played the original Top Spin to death though.

I really am curious to the super deep career mode they are touting. That was what was lacking in the original Top Spin. The game though will play great, i have no doubts about that.

They are touting TV style presentation. I have all the faith in 2K

Look at NBA 2K11...proof is in the pudding...they are the kings of presentation.

lol, yeah but yer comparing apples to oranges here. NBA is a highly successful game in 2ks lineup and a money maker. Look at 2k's hockey game though. Presentation is nothing special there.
