Looks to me like this game is going to be better than the much anticipated Tennis World Tour that is also releasing in May.

I beg to differ. I've been following the game since it was released as AO Tennis and it's a pile of hot garbage. Take a look at some of the reviews to get the picture...

Granted they've tried to patch the game but the game is so fundamentally broken that no amount of polishing the turd can fix it.

I would strongly recommend folks to wait and watch, and read the reviews before purchasing the game. The game's devs (Big Ant Studios) aren't known for their quality. They are small development shop whose modus operandi is to target a sports game without much competition - AFL, Lacrosse, Cricket, Tennis at the time as there isn't any game on PS4, release a broken game, try to fix it and leave it after 2-3 patches in a half-broken state.

Wait for 2-3 weeks post release and read the reviews as I've already burned my fingers with one of their products.

So, you think that the Tennis World Tour game is going to be a better option than AO International Tennis? Is that what you're saying?

No. What I'm saying is that we've already seen AO Tennis is shyte while there's a strong chance World Tennis Tour might be shyte. At least there's a possibility that World Tennis Tour will somehow miraculously be a decent game but no chance of AO Tennis being half decent.

As I mentioned in another thread, it's unfortunate that Full Ace Tennis Simulator is a PC game as that seems to be the best Tennis game out there.

Re: AO International Tennis

All I'm hearing from both sides is that the other game is trash. Hopefully, one of them ends up being decent because I'd really like to get a new tennis game.

Official video from BigAnt showing all the shots. The game is looking really good.

The game was released today.

Re: AO International Tennis

I've seen a few reviews online and both do not recommend this game. Control is clunky and laggy.

Re: AO International Tennis

I really like the game, and I've hear from Big Ant that they are working on improving lots of areas of the game, as well as adding new features.

That's what intrigues me the most about this game over the other one is the number of patches that this one is getting and the overloading of customization options.

Let’s get OS to review each game and then we can decide.....

This game seems to be right choice. I felt blind sided by Tennis World Tour. Too many deal breakers, DEV's not responding, modes not working, horrible commentary, shots in by 6 feet getting called out. Long story short I was able to get that game refunded. The fact that I can download created players and have them included in my Career is enough for me. The DEVs are active and patching the game. This just seems to be the better choice of game right now.
