Gosh I hope they finally have some commentary this time. Thats been missing from every tennis game thats ever come out. It takes alot away from the realism to me.

First, Michael Jordan in NBA 2K11. Now, Andre Agassi in Topspin 4.

Thank you 2K for realizing that there is still interest (and money to be made) in athletes from the recent past. Both titles are a first-day purchase for me.

Can I just say a Giant **** yeah! I love this game and very happy to here it is back!

After tha abomination TS3...I really hope 2k Czech brings this back to the promise land..

Finally. its about time they release some info on this game. Top Spin 3 came out June of 08 so they've had plenty of time to make this game good. It better be good.

Re: 2K Sports Serves Up Another Winner with Top Spin 4

The first thing they touched on...Controls. A huge plus.

And Agassi mullet?!

[dunebugs]

Oh my I didn't think they were going to make any more Top Spins. In my opinion, TS3 was the most realistic tennis game out of all the virtua tennis and TS iterations I've played. The control scheme was what made that game great so hope they keep it and just iron out some of the issues. The biggest problem with TS3 was that it was too easy against the A.I. Even playing on very hard the only cpu player that gave me trouble was Nadal but even then I still won in straight sets.

Tennis can be a blast when played against friends so hopefully this game delivers.

Offline Multiplayer tournament mode is a must. The single player career mode is far too dull.
Really surprised to hear of this release. I thought 2K had given up on the Top Spin series.

[Ermolli]

Yes! I was hoping to see a new version of TS. I wish they really improve copmpared to TS3

Re: 2K Sports Serves Up Another Winner with Top Spin 4

game looks awesome!

and pistol pete is in the game!

one thing i hope they address is how come serve speeds are always so low? serve speeds should be able to go as high as 140mph for certain players with a 120mph average for most players, and a 100+ second serve.
