Answer 1

Hey.  I've had it for almost a week now.  The first thing you need to know for sure is that this is not your typical tennis game.  This one is a Tennis Sim and the rest are Arcade.  That being said, in this game you hold a button to swing and release to strike the ball so you have to have good timing.  Also your player will not hit a clean shot if they aren't in good position to hit the ball.  I.E if it is too low they will have to scoop it, or if its too far away they will reach and be off balance and they very well might miss...  Just like in real tennis! :)

I consider that a great thing for the game because you have to think of your players footwork and court positioning but it makes for a very challenging first half hour or so while you get the timing and movement down.  But once you do get it down the game becomes incredibly rewarding because every winner you hit, you've earned.  It is definitely not as easy to win matches in this game and you have to think through it like a tennis player should.

I like career mode except for the fact that you don't get exp for your player unless you win matches.  There is no off-court training or mini games to improve your stats.  But I don't mind that because it is fun.  You start as an "amature" and work up to a pro player by winning matches and tournaments.  

One of my favorite things is that online matches with your created player give you exp to improve.  And you will need it online because it seems like everyone has a super powerful groundstroking player and if you try to go online before you're ready you'll get blown off the court.  

Just remember to give the controls a chance and you'll be loving it in no time.  It makes the acrade tennis games feel way too easy and is far more rewarding than they ever were.

I played Top Spin 3 at my friends house. The controls will take some time to get used to. It feels more "realistic" because you actually have to practice to get perfect shots and timing just like in real tennis. But i dont like the player roster in the game.
