Hello Top Spin 4 players, No vacation for the Top Spin team during the summer, as we’ve been reading your feedback and working on a new Gameplay Balance Update for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We really hope this update makes your game experience even better and fixes some of the problems you had. The changes include better shots in good situations, less efficient defensive shots (especially slice shots), reworked drop shots, a bigger impact of the stamina attribute, a reworked impact of the Speed attribute and fatigue on the player’s speed and some other changes and fixes. Please boot up your Internet-connected console with the game disc inserted to receive the update. Enjoy! Shots in good situations have been improved. Shots played in good situations are more precise, making them more efficient, especially when hit with good timings. Bad and average drop shots are less efficient. Bad and average drop shots now land further from the net and with higher bounce, making them easier to attack. Shots in defensive situations have been slightly reworked. Slice shots played in bad and medium situations are less powerful and less precise, making them real defensive shots and not offensive weapons. Flat shots in difficult situations can be returned with slightly more power, making it easier to defend against power players. Players with a higher stamina will last longer before being tired. These players only get tired after a really long and exhausting rally, thus creating a bigger difference between low and high stamina players. Tired and low speed players are slower. Tired players and players with a low Speed attribute are a bit slower, making it more difficult for them to reach difficult balls far from them. Returns with a bad timing are less efficient. Returns aimed long with a bad timing land closer to the net, making it easier for the server to attack the ball and play inside the court.

Out of all the improvements made to this great game, I guess I will never get the only one I truly want--to play a career as an existing pro.

As I said before, it's like not being able to play a season/association in an NBA 2K game without doing My Player. I love this game, but it's lacking that one thing for me. I love realism, and I'm not a tennis pro in real life meaning I want to play as someone else in a career.

After spending a couple weeks with the last balancing update I pretty much abandoned the game, and I figured they were done with the balancing updates altogether. This is a really awesome surprise.

Anyone have any feedback on how the new update plays? Like most of us, my copy has sat unused since the last patch release.

Updates are nice after wasting a few weeks with Madden and Ncaa, put this back in and got a welcomed surprise. you can definitely feel the difference shot variety is great now, you are rewarded for good shots and punished for poor positioning. Definitely an underrated title.
