Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

I think the most important thing to me is how many player you can create and add to the available slots. I also hope the career mode is fine.

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

I actually liked the demo of this game better than the full version of Top Spin 4. I am sure it does not move at exactly the right speed or the total racquet control won't take getting used to but It is one fun game. The demo graphics are better than TS4 and I think they nailed the sound of the racquet hitting the ball and the varied grunts are nice too. I loved all the little things too such as more aces , and more variables in what the ball might do. I am sick and tired of every time a good game comes out everybody bitches cuz its not exactly like the real sport or one mode of play is not as great as the rest of the game. Lighten up. Have fun with it, and if u want realism go outside.

I always hear this argument, but I always say, if a video game company can capture the sport as real as possible, I'd go and play that game. GS2 is a very fun game. But some animations really bothers me.

The rest of your post is fine, even though I disagree with you on some things. You lost me here. If people expect certain things out of their gameplay, who are you to say that they are expecting too much?

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

Im willing to give this game a chance if

*They Fixed AI Net Hugging/Effectiveness
*A good amount of Working Sliders/Tendencies

We'll see though, this is EA we're talking about

[cashless]

I really wanted to like this game, but after having played the demo, I'm having a tough time thinking of one single positive thing to say about it. I guess I can see this game being somewhat enjoyable with motion controls, but as a tennis simulator it comes nowhere close to Top Spin.

It will be interesting to see how much content EA has built around the majors. If it's just the 4 slams and 2 or 3 more tourny's then it will be an epic failure for me

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?

[southriver]

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.

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

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.

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

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.

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

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

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Roundtable

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.
