The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics and variety, allowing players to create and customize characters while engaging in competitive matches. However, some users find it repetitive and feel that it lacks the depth of other tennis games like Top Spin and Virtua Tennis, leading to mixed opinions on whether to prioritize gameplay quality or overall game depth. Despite these criticisms, the game offers a satisfying tennis experience with impressive graphics and a good selection of real and custom players.
- “The graphics are great, gameplay is solid, and it has a good mix of current and past players.”
