    Top Spin 4 vs Grand Slam 2?


    Hey all, i know i'm 5 years late and this topic has probably been debated to death but i have some specific questions because i'm buying the game for my little brother.

    My bro is 12 yrs old and has an Xbox 360. Over the past year or two he has taken a real liking for tennis, he's getting lessons and loves it. It seems like he's found his "thing". So tennis game for christmas it is.

    Questions:
    1. Which one is harder to learn? (my bro isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and doesn't have a great attention span)
    2. Which one teaches you the most about tennis? (I remember when i was 12 i used to learn about basketball through NBA Live 2001 through the commentary and i even modeled my jumpshot after the animation in the game. I heard GS2 has commentary, that's good. But it looks like TS4 has more realistic animations. What other factors are there that would help a kid learn about the sport?)
    3. Which one has better training modes?
    4. Which one is more fun from an arcade standpoint?

    Any other insight would be great too.
    Thanks

      Even for a 12 yr old kid?

        Yep. I never could quite get used to the delay in Grand Slam from the time you hit the button till the time your player swings the racket. I think Top Spin is superior in every way.

            Top Spin 4 all the way. It has a steep learning curve but is the best tennis game created.

              The thing about Grand Slam 2 is that is has commentary where as TS4 doesn't. I figure the commentary would teach my little bro about the game. But sounds like TS4 is the way to go anyway

                If you can go memorize about 10 phrases slightly related to tennis and record it for him to play on a constant loop, you can simulate the Grand Slam 2 commentary.
