Yea, I wrote TS3 about their lineup months ago. They sent me some standard reply and then ignored by 2nd email. LOL
But the other thing is that - when I finally get to talk to Serena in 2 weeks, I'm going to remind her how she needs to get into a video game for her fans.
Re: Top Spin 3/Smash Court Tennis 3 Waiting thread - both hit stores June, 2008
the perfect player roster should include the top10,
maria sharapova
ana ivanovic
jelena jankovic
svetlana kuznetsova
serena williams
anna chakvetadze
venus williams
elena dementieva
marion bartoli
daniela hantuchova
& perhaps a few up & coming players like azarenka or cornet or seasoned veterans like schnyder, mauresmo or davenport too.
i suggest the wta create their own game, but this time go ALL OUT and give the fans some choices unlike topspin or smash court. AGREE?
and they should also make it like a requirement (like the interviews and photo-shoots), so players would have to go through the stop-motion animation so they play individually and realistically and then record actual maria sharapova screams and williams' grunts from their matches. everything down to a t (with a full tour of ACTUAL tournaments too) and none of this venus williams playin two-handed both sides and mauresmo with a two-handed bhand, which is what happened in vt world tour for the psp. can you imagine the cover, SONY ERICSSON WTA TOUR TENNIS 2009 with the top 10 purposely posing for the game, everyone looking amazing! this would be a success!

Yes now wouldn't that be great! Mind you, they almost had this several years back with WTA Tennis (PAL) on the PS2. It had the best world tour of any tennis game I have ever played and a wonderful player roster that included Seles, Henin, Hingis, Venus, Clijsters, Sanchez, Pierce etc and even unlockable legends like Navratilova and Graf. The only thing was that the graphics were more cartoon like and the AI could be somewhat repetitive (unless you were playing Cara Black or one or two othes). But it was a fantastic tour and game IMO.
Still, as you say, a new game with most of the top players and next gen graphics, and a realistic world tour would be fantastic!

You seem to be an expect Adal So question: Is it true you can't make your own player for the wii version, and that the circuit (or whatever it is called ... the real life thingo where you play and get your player up the rankings) will not be as in depth as the other versions/videos I've seen? Thanks

I don't like the animation and movements of Top Spin 3's characters, especially the their strokes, because they aren't smooth and aren't similar to the real life counterpart. Virtua Tennis has better animation IMO but, I hate its gameplay which involves diving from all corners of the court and not hitting a single unforced error.

For those that think it sucks there is a simple solution. Don't buy it. But why bother try and ruin other people's anticipation. Personally I don't care so much about the roster as the gameplay and world tour options. These factors mean more to me.
Re: Top Spin 3/Smash Court Tennis 3 Waiting thread - both hit stores June, 2008
Exactly. The more players that are missing, the funner t will be creating all those that are missing. Plus I'm sure we can create them closer to the real thing that the game makers can.
Also people need to get the fuck over the fact that out of the 20 playable characters in Top Spin 3, there are 7 females. It's not a WTA game, it's a TENNIS and they could have easily made the roster all males.

Um excuse me....if a game has 20 pros but only 7 women,why cant we be upset.Yea it isnt a wta game,but it sure as hell isnt an ATP tour game either,so your point made NO sense(so by having an even number of women that would make it a WTA game?????).And fyi,the last topspin was split down the middle 12/12 and before that 8/8 so there is no excuse for a 13/7 ratio this time around.Hell women have worked hard and long to be even with the men in this sport,so why do they get twice as many characters

Speaking of rosters, I thought SCT3's roster kind of sucked. Seppi, Kraijeck, Berdych, Lopez? I mean they could have least gotten a few players with a bit more notoriety. But I also understand what Naldo is saying here. Gameplay is more important than the roster of any game.
I'm playing Dream Match Tennis now and even though the graphics are horrific, the game play is very realistic. They really need to make a game for the PS3 like this one. It's awesome.
Re: Top Spin 3/Smash Court Tennis 3 Waiting thread - both hit stores June, 2008
They should do what they did in the TMS 2003 game.
I remember in the demo you got to choose what time you played your match. You could choose to play Indian Wells in the morning, afternoon and at night.
It would be great if the did it in these games. You could play the US Open at night
(I haven't read through this thread, so I don't know if it has been addressed that it is possible to do that in these games)
right! exactly wut i wuz thinking. i really didnt like the career mode for TS2, especially the calendar. the years as pro should be longer, 10 years IMO. 5yrs goes by fast.
Re: Top Spin 3/Smash Court Tennis 3 Waiting thread - both hit stores June, 2008
These are all good questions. i wish we could find out more info from them like...
how long is the career mode (5 yrs was def too short)
can I create a player and add him/her to the tour without having to play as them
will all the players wear white at wimbledon (TS2 was funny - I would change my players attire come Wimbledon time only to play Federer in Red/Black)
Re: Top Spin 3/Smash Court Tennis 3 Waiting thread - both hit stores June, 2008
I'm getting rather excited about the release date now I've pretty much given up on VT3 as I feel I've peaked in that game already (#156 online ranking, I failed in my bid to crack top 100 ) so I'm looking to start fresh on Topspin 3
