Tennis World Tour 2 Review

I’m not really sure what’s happened with tennis world tour 2 ..

After the first title in the series failed to impress, it seemed as though Nacon was doing all it could to make up for it. At least on paper, anyway. Big Ant Studios was brought in to develop this sequel, and its last title, AO Tennis 2 , actually impressed us a fair bit. Tennis World Tour 2 , however, seems like a step back for the studio. It’s an improvement over the first game, sure, but it still falls short of being a good tennis game.

So, what’s new? How about a new game engine that allows for improved animations and physics? That’s certainly welcome. Doubles is in, too, which many players will appreciate. You can even play in doubles online. And court surfaces now have an effect on play, adding another layer of challenge and/or strategy to each and every match. There are so many improvements in Tennis World Tour 2, big and small, that make sense, and that make it a clear step up from its predecessor. But they’re all nullified by two major changes that do the game no favours at all.

The first is a new timing-based shot system. You can tap one of the various shot buttons to perform a precision shot, or hold one to charge a shot up for more power, but get the timing wrong, and chances are the ball won’t go where you wanted it to. It’s meant to make play more skilful, but the system’s so hard to gauge that it effectively ruins the game. AO Tennis 2 has a similar system, but it also has a useful indicator to help you along. Tennis World Tour 2 doesn’t, and the timing of shots feels horribly inconsistent.

The place where the new timing-based shot system really makes its mark is in career mode. Take a professional such as Roger Federer for a spin in an exhibition match, and you might find yourself actually having a decent time thanks to his high stats. Even if your timing isn’t perfect, there’s a good chance your shot will still be good. Create your own character in career mode, however, and their pitiful starting stats will mean that unless you get good or better timing on a shot, chances are it will go out or hit the net. And getting good or better shots is made all the harder because of their poor starting stats. It’s just not fun.

The second of Tennis World Tour 2 ‘s major mistakes is a revamp of its cards system. Where cards could be equipped to players in the first game to boost their abilities in the long-term, here, they mostly provide boosts that last as little as one hit and as long as one match when activated during gameplay. Some of them even reduce your opponent’s abilities. You can reduce your opponent’s serving strength for, example, increase the precision of a slice shot, or restore a portion of your stamina. The trouble is, it feels largely ineffectual and superfluous.

Cards are purchased in packs from a store on the game’s main menu – currently, only in-game money can be used. You can then assign five of your cards to a deck, one of which providing a passive ability, and the other four active abilities that you activate during play by double-tapping a direction on the d-pad. After so many uses, a card expires and disappears from your deck. With effects being so precise and a game of tennis being so dynamic, however, using them effectively is a hit-and-miss affair. It’s also at odds with the game’s serious tone – it’s a very arcade-like feature in conception.

There are other issues with Tennis World Tour 2 as well. You’ll find the AI of your computer-controlled opponents to be a bit all over the place. Sometimes they’re magnificently dumb, other times they run rings around you. And while the game’s animations are improved, there are still times where they’re not particularly impressive. Finally, you’ll find the game’s character creator to be a let-down too; in career mode, be prepared to play as, and against, lots of unfortunate-looking souls.

Ultimately, Tennis World Tour 2 ‘s new timing-based shot system ruins what could have been a decent or even good tennis game. It makes gameplay so unpredictable, and not in a good way. If you plan on buying Tennis World Tour 2 just to play exhibition matches as your favourite professional players, you might get some fun out of it thanks to their boosted stats making things more lenient. But career mode will be unbearable for most, requiring either an obscene amount of skill or an inhuman amount of patience. AO Tennis 2 remains the best tennis game available right now, so just stick to that.

Tennis World Tour 2 (PS4) Review

Michael September 25, 2020 News , Nintendo Switch , PC , Playstation 4 , PS4 Reviews , Reviews , Xbox One Leave a comment 3,174 Views

You can challenge the umpire on this, but….

Tennis World 2 has the things you’d expect of a tennis game, on and off the court. From drop shots and exhibition matches to volleys and a Career mode, developer Big Ant Studios has put it all in. It’s just not their best set.

If you’re coming to Tennis World Tour 2 like me, right off of the heels of Mario Tennis Aces, then you’re going to be in for a rude awakening.

Timing is everything in Tennis World Tour 2 . Mess it up while going for a winner, and you’ll see your ball fly out. The window can be demanding, but it is not an unassailable challenge.

Down a Break

The real issues on the court come from the way the game handles movement and animations. Your character moves in many ways automatically. Sometimes, they’ll swing even if you don’t hit a button (this won’t go in), and other times just watch the ball go by. It can be a struggle to have them do precisely what you want, especially when they commit to an animation against your will. This is made worse when you expect the character to move while preparing your aim. Countless times I’ve walked away from a serve trying to load a charged return, while on other points I’ll do the exact same thing and the character will stay in position.

The worst are the predestined points, wherein the crowd will start to cheer before the ball has even hit the ground, and my character will hang their head in shame as if there isn’t a sprint button that will clear the distance. I once pressed the lob button for a return, but because the point was already decided (despite the ball not yet hitting the court), that button press was instead read as queue highlight.

As a local-multiplayer tennis game, Tennis World 2 is sufficient at best. It feels and looks like tennis. Rallies last, hits mostly go where you expect, and even if you haven’t mastered the expectations for timing, you’ll have decent fun.

Online (which ran well during our post-launch play sessions) is a similar story. People make mistakes, and you’ll feel like you’re walking them all around the court with your expertly placed shots.

It’s against the AI when you realize that people is all you’ll ever be, and you’re up against the machine.

Career Lows

Career mode starts you with a custom-built character (using preset facial features and limited fashion) at the bottom of the rankings. Spending your time playing exhibition matches, doing training challenges, and hiring agents fills your pockets with the game’s currency and experience, which are in short supply in other modes.

How short? For a one-versus-one, three-set match at six games each, I earned under 300 coins. For a one-game match in career mode, I earned 720.

Early equipment is decently priced under 10,000, but rackets and card packs (we’ll get back to card packs) are both an unattainable grind for people hoping to progress in any way from local play.

(For the record, I won a quick match online and was awarded zero.)

No Grand Champion

It’s painful that money and experience both come so slowly, because your Career character will start with stats in the twenties. For comparison, Nadal averages 90s across the board. Even your no-name, auto-filled early-career competitors have a base in the 40s.

What does this mean in practice? Your shots will go wide, your serves will be slow, and you’ll be at a distinct disadvantage throughout the Career mode. Aiming for corners with anything less than a “Good” is a good way to lose a game.

Which, frankly, matters little. Exhibitions pay out identically win or lose. Often, it’s better even to throw a match to complete a challenge, because those hugely increase your take-home. There’s no real rush to improve your ranking, either, so you can grind up stats for a few years while gradually getting a handle on the AI, shot timing, and serves. It’ll take a bit of time to get anywhere near the level of Federer or Nadal. Experience gain is slow, and a level-up only increases your stats by 0-3 at a time.

These stats aren’t precisely self-explanatory. Is front-hand accuracy? Strength? And why does leveling your precision increase your precision stat less than leveling defense? Like many other parts of the game, everything changes in such minute fractions that changes won’t be clear level to level.

Tennis Card Game

Outside of Career Mode, there is nothing really worth working towards. Outfits and rackets purchased by coins can’t be attached to other characters, making them exclusive to your customs. That leaves cards.

Cards are limited-use actives that give miniscule advantages for a match or a game, such as giving increased stamina use for certain shots to your opponent. Generally, they’re so small that it’s not even worth changing the way you play to react. They’re definitely not worth spending your coins on. Card packs at varying rarities supply the jolt familiar to loot-box games, except without any worthwhile reward. Collect them, equip them, use them: they don’t make much of a difference, either way.

You can’t turn them off, either. They sit on the screen, delaying the start of some points because the AI is rifling through theirs. At least you can’t buy them with real money?

Presentation

Tennis World Tour 2 is not a looker by any stretch of the imagination. Outside of serve routines, animations are shared by all the players. You’ve never seen Kei Nishikori this smug or Nick Kergios this calm. The lack of personality makes it difficult to believe that’s who is on the court. Colors are garish at best, with a plastic sheen for all your players. Even that can be distracting: there’s a glaring bald spot on my custom character’s head whenever the lighting hits him right.

It looks like tennis, and, just as serviceably, it sounds like tennis. There’s a crowd, an umpire, and balls hitting rackets. No announcers follow the action in your game, and there’s no music during play. Tunes jingle on the menus with enough energy, but it feels like something is missing from the action. Maybe I’m just too used to tennis on the television having stats read at me by retired players.

Final Thoughts

That’s an emptiness that carries throughout Tennis World Tour 2 ’s presentation. If you are looking for a single-player Tennis experience, it’s here in Tennis World Tour 2 . It’s a decent tennis game with unnecessary card fluff, a slow grind, and difficulties that aren’t suited to a casually interested tennis fan. And that’s on the best day. The occasional freeze, frustrating animations, and visual oddities don’t make matters any better. You don’t have to skip Tennis World Tour 2 if you’re desperate for a new tennis game, but if you have one you like, then stick to it.

Tennis World Tour 2 Release Date : September 22, 2020 Platform : PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch Publisher : Nacon Developer : Big Ant Studios MSRP : $39.99

Tennis World Tour 2

Premise - 70%, gameplay - 60%, presentation - 55%.

Tennis World Tour 2 has singles and doubles tennis, but a litany of issues keep it from being the premier champion of the sport. Even if you're desperate for another tennis game, you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

The Masters 2024 - Day two digest

Everything you need to know from day two of the season's opening Major Championship.

We had a trio tied at the top, Tiger Woods made yet more history, José María Olazábal rolled back the years and Danny Willett bagged a big bird on day two of the Masters Tournament .

Here is everything you need to know from Friday at Augusta National Golf Club.

Scheffler among leading trio

World Number One Scottie Scheffler shared the lead with fellow Americans Bryson DeChambeau and Max Homa heading into the weekend after a testing second day. DeChambeau entered the round with a one-shot lead but a 73 in very windy conditions dropped him to six under where he was joined by Scheffler, who carded a level-par 72, and Homa who signed for a 71. Nicolai Højgaard was at four under on his Masters debut, one clear of Australian Cameron Davis and American Collin Morikawa and two ahead of Swede Ludvig Åberg, whose 69 was the lowest round of the day.

Tiger makes 24th consecutive Masters cut

Woods wrote yet another chapter in his remarkable Masters Tournament story as he made it a record-breaking 24 consecutive made cuts at Augusta. The American great made his debut at this event as he finished as Low Amateur in 1995 and while he missed his only cut to date in 1996, 12 months later he ripped up the history books with a 12-shot triumph that made him the youngest winner in Masters history. Since then he has won four more Green Jackets as part of a collection of 15 Major Championships and despite a host of injury issues in recent years, he will once again be playing the weekend. "I've always loved playing here," he said. "I've been able to play here since I was 19 years old. It's one of the honours I don't take lightly, being able to compete. The years I have missed, I wish I was able to play because there's such an aura and mystique about playing this golf course. Unless you have played and competed here, you probably don't really appreciate."

Ollie rolls back the years

Two-time champion Olazábal thought his chances of making the cut for just the fourth time since 2010 had gone when he found the water on the 12th to drop to seven over. "I paid dearly, I have to say," he said. "Yes, just a pity. I played really good golf today. It was just a shame that I put a bad swing on 12. As simple as that. It cost me dearly. I made a triple there." But he put a brilliant tee-shot to seven feet at the 16th and with the field coming back in tough conditions, six over was good enough to see the 58-year-old make the cut on the number in his 35th Masters appearance.

Wind warrior Åberg among sparkling rookies

Ludvig Åberg carded the lowest round of an incredibly testing day two as a trio of debutants continued to impress. The Swede's 69 moved him to within four of the lead on what many long-term observers have called one of the toughest days in Masters history. "All I'm trying to do is really enjoy it," he said. "It's my first time here at Augusta National. It's a privilege to be here and play this event and that's what I'm trying to do for the rest of the week." Højgaard carded a 73 to sit two shots off the lead, with Matthieu Pavon making the same score to get to one under. Could we have a first rookie winner at the Masters for 45 years?

Wizardry from Willett

First event since shoulder surgery and Danny Willett is doing this from 95 yards. The 2016 champion is having quite a week.
