There's actually 3 US Open venues as well... for a total of 16 unique venues.

You guys are freakin me out and bustin my bubble! Should I buy this or TOP SPIN 4? I wanna create a female pro, so my daughter can play along and learn a little about tennis. We want the game with Wimbeldon, don't we? Or doesn't matter?

for the love of pete.........can i finally get Steffi Graf up in this game

She was my all time favorite.

I wanna love this game aswell, but in the demo these dudes sprint WAYYYYYYY to fast and come to the Net WAYYYYYYYYYY to often. In 1 game vs Nadal he came to the net over 15 times. Ummm, he dosen't come to the net that often. I hope its all worked out.

I really liked the demo. I felt like you had good control over your player movement. I also think the swinging was spot on with the stick. It did seem like you would have to adjust some sliders a little bit but that's the way it is with most sports games.

If you want her to use a motion controller, this game will be a lot better than Top Spin 4. As far as realism though, TS4 looks slightly better overall.

I actually had a lot of fun playing with the motion controller on the Wii for this game. This coming from a person who also plays a lot of tennis. It's the closest anyone has been so far to re-creating actual tennis play.

If you want a tennis game that:

- good venues
- download customizable players
- announcing
- CASUAL

Or:

- realistic
- actual tennis strategy
- less players to choose from
- no announcing

Just depends what you're looking for. To me, I would take realism over venues and players any day. While it would be awesome to have both, this is why there's no question TS4 is the better game IMO. That is of course realizing one is the retail game and one is the demo, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Have sliders even been confirmed?That'll be this games saving grace.

# 29 eugreene2 @ 02/03/12 10:19 PM

To me Top Spin 4 isn't as realistic as people say it is. The attributes for ALL the pros were wrong. And on the higher levels, it became worse. In career mode, being a hard hitter was basically useless. The game made you be an all around player which isn't anywhere near realistic. It was entertaining but it had plenty of issues.

I'm sure Grand Slam will too but I'm just pointing out that none of these games have really been that good.

I liked it for the most part, I just wish there were more unforced errors, or errors period. I'd say about 95% of the points ended by one player hitting it past the other. Not out, not into the net, just too many outright winners.
