Everyone has the same body/build - another lack of attention to detail

[NathW14]

Go on the player selection screen and compare. Every single male player has the exact same body shape as every other, and the same goes for the women. Same shoulder width, same arms, men all have the same stick thin legs. The one and only exception that I can see is Auger-Aliassime who for whatever reason does have bigger quads and different shoulder shape.

So that's:

- No specific/accurate swing animations for anyone but Nadal (even Federer is generic).

- Generic body types for all but one player. The weird stick thin legs on everyone looks SO off.

- No specific/accurate celebrations for anyone (massive cheesy grin and throwing the raquet up in the air for a spin over and over again, anyone?).

Again, I'll say this, don't try and make a game and present it as a tennis "sim" when you can't even be bothered to accurately recreate the worlds best players beyond their faces and clothes (as well as the mountains of other problems with this game). It's amazing how easily and quick this game becomes boring because almost every single player feels the same to play with and no one but Nadal really stands out as unique or anything like their real life counterparts.

Yeah, the game was a rush job... big ant always release unfinished games instead of making one really great one. NO official stadiums in the base game? A joke for a licensed product.

See my FAO Naco/Big Ant thread. The more I play this game the more irritated I'm becoming. It's just not acceptable for a game to have this many issues.

Damn...them celebrations make me cringe...I'm mastering the timing...but again the atmosphere and especially career mode feels soooo flat, I mean I dont feel like im accomplishing much...we cant even unlock extra content will only get xps and the gear is hella off-brand...this game should've been 30 maybe 40 out the gate...they playing with our emotions because that patch wasn't about ♥♥♥♥!

This game should be free for game pass download...straight up. no patch up timeline, I feel played. faux patch-ups! this game has so much potential. if licensing was a problem, ask for feedback before release. ask the fans and gamers what they want. FIX THIS PLEASE, sincerly speaking!

The patch did literally nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not even real in terms of the supposed gameplay "improvements". The laziness in developing this game is laughable. Everything is SO undercooked.

I just spent half hour on career mode - after creating my awful character in the unbelievably, embarrassingly bad player creator sent from 2002 - and literally felt depressed from playing it. An absolutely terrible, lifeless mode.

Still, the bodies look FAR better than the midgets in AO tennis

I will agree this game does not make me want to play ao tennis 2, my expectations could be too high but c'mon we don't get a tennis game every year, why does this seem to be so hard, when the market has been literally asking for the same thing for YEARS.

also, upon settling with this video game how am I supposed to experience real player competition when online crashes and every play is cheese and half the time it's freezing up. all of my services are up to date and I always play console..that is unacceptable!

your playing in career mode should reflect your attributes through and out regardless of the match wins .. you can't configure attributes distinctively and edit at your own discretion its always through XPS or something(help me I can't figure this out), I guess what I mean is there is your way to track the progress of attributes. Are tournament wins how you attain great attributes? ..because you only get exps for completing training or am I missing something. This is something I've been trying to articulate to myself.

Hey mate
In the career mode, by gaining xps your level increases. You get xps by playing tournaments, exhibitions, training etc in the career mode. Once you level up you get archetype points which is your level. I mean for example, if your level is 6 then you will have 6 archetype points. Now u have to use the archetype points to upgrade your players abilities. You can use the archetype points by navigating to bottom right icon stating "edit player" in the career mode and once you are in the "edit player" screen you can see the archetype points on the left side and you can upgrade your player. To use the archetype points, look at the bottom right of the screen again.
All the atp players in the game are level 30 (30 archetype points), hence, once your player reaches level 30 and once its upgraded with all the 30 archetype points, your player becomes as good as the atp players.
I hope this helps you.
