This is good I guess..Yeah releasing half baked game and releasing patches to get it to a normal state isnt something one would like but hopefully it reaches a better state to where it is now..

 

The patch released yesterday has changed the game for the good and people have been posting views positively after installing that patch..

The entire thing is crying cash grab. 

 

$99 AUD. AAA pricing with fake description.

 

AO Tennis is the most advanced tennis game ever produced. It combines fully licensed, photo realistic players with a decade’s worth of historical shot data that enhances their AI so that they play just like their real-life counterparts, right down to shot selection at any given point of time in a match. Comprehensive career, tournament and online play modes make this the most in-depth tennis game ever created, and sets a new standard for what a tennis game can offer fans. 

 

None of it is true. Not sure why anyone would fall for such crap. Might as well just boot up Top Spin/VT since this looks and plays worse than a decade old game. 

 

When a local news gives you big thumbs down, you know it's beyond terrible. 

  • It might sound harsh, but the developers at Big Ant have shown they are consistent when it comes to releasing a half-baked sporting game with a premium price tag.
  • Selling for the RRP of $99.95, AO Tennis has a frustrating lack of polish, poor presentation and subpar mechanics — making it basically feel as if you were playing a PS2 game, not something on a next-gen console.
  • Let’s start with the first major let-down. You pay $100 of your hard-earned cash and want to play with your hero Roger Federer. Well, you can’t. Nor can you play with Djokovic, Kyrgios, Williams, Wozniacki or many other tennis stars.
  • While the creators of AO Tennis claim there will be more professional names added in future updates, it seems like a poor option to release the game with such limited characters — and the majority of those in the game are hardly well-known to casual fans.
  • So for now, $99.95 will not allow you to play using the two people who actually won the male and female grand slam titles in real-life, despite the game being called AUSTRALIAN OPEN Tennis — hmm.
  • But let’s say you can look past the inability to play with anyone other than Nadal and still want to give the game a try. My advice would be: please don’t.
  • Aside from the total lack of commentary, motionless courtside photographers, poorly animated crowd and player reactions with no context, there are terrible controls which players are left to figure out themselves as AO Tennis offers no in-game tutorials.
  • Another criticism I have with AO Tennis — because 100,000,000 issues isn’t enough — is the lacklustre career mode which doesn’t include mini-games or practice courts to up your skills and keep you interested between tournament games.
  • When it comes to playing AO Tennis again, I think I would rather spend a decade in prison. Either do a job properly or stop making games, Big Ant.

Wouldn't even play even if it was free. Just another quick cash-grab from Big Ant. Nothing new.

Pricing is something which I have always hated in BA games..And they dont believe in discount even after a while of release..

 

As far as this game release is concerned, really poor decision to release the state in which it was released..I mean you cant expect people to believe in them that they will add content with patches and expect them to pay this huge amount , again..

 

They have nailed themselves with the awful release and the reviews which followed..

 

Now the game is getting better but to what extent it will go is something to see..They have said they will be releasing weekly patches till global release which does say that it was more of an early access release rather even beta release of the game to Australia and NZ..

 

So far the latest patch from them on Saturday has got a positive review finally something to look for in tennis gaming in general..

Haha nothing like that, I like their way of making games in general.. They can easily mess things up big time I know but they have a good perspective towards the sports games..

 

Being active member in Planet cricket forum and here , I just pass information whenever I can thats all..

Seeing this video makes me miss top spin even more. It has been so many years and still that game shits over every other upcoming tennis game in terms of gameplay and fluidity.
