    Re: Top Spin 4 Impressions/Questions Thread

    I had the same issue last night. The game froze and my player was static, arms raised. After some time I had to hard reset the Xbox.

      So what you're saying is that the game should be re-named to WTA Tour 2011?

        Haha, touche sir.

        FYI, don't neglect stamina in your career. It really starts taking a toll on you once you get to level 2. It's rough if you don't beat your opponent in two quick sets.

          Hard mode is so fun!!

          I'm also on level 19 with my create a player. The coaches really come into play here.

          Has anyone found another good online pro player to rival all the roddick lovers? I am thinking maybe Jeff Blake but not sure yet. I really want to crush a roddick guy, but it is tough since he hits all his power groundstrokes so well and his serve is insane.

            Try Borg, he's got the best topspin forehand shot and his backhand is pretty good too. With the topspin shots it's easier to pinpoint your shots and keep the ball deep and in the corners with groundstrokes and keep Roddick off balance so he can't load up on his power strokes. Borg''s got great stamina too so if you can maintain a few long rallys with him then you should be able to tire Roddick out a bit.

              Up to level 9 and decided to jump into a major tourney to see how I would do even though I haven't finished my minor tourney requirements. Won the quarter final against a serve and volley player at level 6 and starting to get a little cocky and then faced another S & V player at level 13 guy and proceeded to get smoked 6-3, 6-1 but in a fair way because I was impatient and sloppy.

              I'm a little pissed so I go back to a minor tourneys to build up my guy a little more and win another 2 tourneys so I can raise my status. I face a level 3 guy in the quarters to the finals and because I'm at level 9 and won my last minor tourney, I play way too arrogantly thinking it will be a cakewalk and lose the 1st set 7-5. I then decide to play properly with proper positioning and then I win the next 2 pretty easily because I play like I should not like I want.

              I love the way AI will beat you if you get too cocky in your strategy and they don't beat you in a cheap way. They beat you because you're being an idiot and over confident. This game gets more fun the deeper you get into career mode. I can't remember the last time a career mode was this compelling.

                  Well if it works then maybe I can be a coach in Top Spin 5.

                  I know I had that success with Borg against the AI Roddick in exhibition so hopefully it works out online. I haven't touched online yet so I don't know how impossible Roddick's serve is to return online.

                  I do think they went a little overboard with Roddick's serve and power. To just to try and crank aces all match would bore me online. Hopefully any guys I play with on OS will pick someone more interesting to play with.

                      I just started career mode. I was happy to see it had both my racket (Aero Strike) and shoes (Roddick shoes)!! I played a few tournaments and found it cool that under my player, it tells you what % your are hitting slice, flat, and top spin. Also, what % backhand vs. forehand and how you win points: off winners or unforced error % as well as how you lose points %.
                      Have an awesome day!!

                          Agreed. In my career I beat Hulse in the first round 6-2 6-0 in the first tourney. The next tourney i played him again and took the first 2 games and thought it would be a cake walk. I stater playing a lot looser trying different things and he won 3 of the next 4 games before I just went back and started playing a simpler game.

                            After enough hours of Top Spin 4, I agree with the New York Times. Career mode is not that exciting for me, would of liked to of seen all the Pros in this mode. I will agree the gameplay is way better then TP3, but I bought the game for online play and am disappointed here also. It seems like how much you play determines your rank(World Tour) instead of skill, add in the fact not being able to connect with opponets and taking the loss(maybe they will fix this) is terrible.

                            I made level 20 and superstar rank on hard in 4 days, so I have played it enough to know I will be taking it back today and get a good credit at least.
