Looks like you played on Hard. Also looks like my matches on Hard.

I am having fun with the demo. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I didn't know if I had to press and hold the button or just press once, button serving vs stick serving, etc. I wish they would have given a more detailed control explanation or maybe opened up the practice area for the demo like other sports games have done. All in all it seems like a good game to me and will buy it for sure.

Something else I forgot to mention was how impressed I was to hear Daft Punk as a menu soundtrack

The really kicked up the presentation, i like it. player models look more realistic too. the gameplay feels different, but in a good way. all in all good upgrade over last game.

Yep, I played on Hard. Very difficult to get anything past Nadal.

I have found I can at least get 1 or 2 aces a game in the demo from using the right stick serving. I have yet to get one from the buttons. To me it seems like the button serving is the safer choice if you don't want to fault but right stick serving will lead to aces. It is really up to the player to choose what they want to do and decide if the risk is worth it.

Some more practice and I finally beat Nadal 7-4 on Hard. I was getting creamed before. Even after that I played again and lost 7-4, but at least I was in the game. Prior to today I could barely score a point on Hard.

Still not having success on serves. I need a manual or a training because I've forgotten how to use the right stick effectively.

I also saw Nadal have one unforced error finally. Had one myself in the same match. Nice to see.
