Surely it's not rocket science to make a tournament realistic.

In the case of asking for 7 round tournaments, they don't even have enough players in this game to pull that off I don't think. There's 80 players on the circuit.

Can also confirm that unfortunately, shadows don't move across the court (at least the ones I've seen on courts I've played on have been fixed).

Alistair, you won't be the first server in career mode for every match. It varies from match to match. In exhibition it just depends on what side you start on.

I may be way off with this as I didn't own Top Spin 3 but I read on the 2k forums that in that game once your player ended a season as World Number 1 the mode ended. Was that true and if it was does anyone know if that has changed in Top Spin 4?

Level 20 just means the player is fully developed. It does not mean every pro is equal at everything.

Online create a player matches are awesome. Far more fun then playing Roddick everytime. You get to see each person's character and it will match you up with a player equal to your level. I love that concept..I know 2k did this with all pro football and it is just more fun to take on someone's created player then to see the same pro over and over.The whole tournament concept is awesome..just a killer game, but it really is meant for online play. If you are not online, you are probably missing out on 70% of the game because playing another human in tennis is the most fun sports experience I have had in a long time.

Hey guys, I'm reviewing the game for OS. An impressions article will be coming within the next day, but I'll be playing for about another week until I do my full review.

Feel free to ask any questions on anything from a polo t-shirt to how realistic a clay surface is.

Also I'll be updating on Twitter with impressions @eckoefx_OS.

But so far...this is a fantastic game.

OK I 'll bite,

How realistic is the clay surface of the Roland Garros court in the game?

Spoiler

you don't need to answer I have the game, and just wanted to bust your chops.

Looking forward to your review, glad it seems like you are enjoying the game as much as I am.

Why can't we take an existing pro into a career--or can we? I read somewhere that you can't, and that's messed up. I don't like to create players--I want realism, and I'm not a real tennis player.
