This vs Tiebreak?

[Prøxy]

I'm looking for a modern Tennis game and can't quite decide between Topspin and Tiebreak.
After looking online, honestly it looks like they both have their share of pros and cons and I can get both of them for roughly the same price so I'm a bit lost on which to get.

From what I was able to gather, this info may of course be outdated -
Topspin pros & cons:
+ Great looking stages/courts, they feel super alive
+ Simplified gameplay. Easy to get into, hard to master
+ Great animations but..
- Not much variety in the animations
- Fairly outdated looking character models
- Limited character creation options

Tiebreak pros & cons:
+ Super good looking character models
+ Huge variety of customization options in character creation
+ Deep mechanics
- Stages/courts look dull
- Steep learning curve
- Janky looking animations, specifically when transitioning from one to another

I don't know anything about the game modes and I'm specifically looking for a deep career mode, not very interested in online-play. If someone could enlighten me on what I'm missing from both games, it would be greatly appreciated.

They're both terrible.

200h of Top Spin, I only play because nostalgia + spent 130€. Scammed hard.
No depth in the gameplay + playstyle = almost always the same point (short cross matches)
Very few anims, we all look the same
Balance of the game is the worse I've ever seen.
PROS are almost all bad and not realistic, with no real animations (except 3 or 4).

TB is far better, BUT it feels like the ball is floating with a weird speed management + movement are dull and ugly.

I suggest you to wait anyway. TS2K25 will have an update soon and TB will be released in 10 days.

Even if topspin has an update it will not do anything, each update they have added has been useless. i also regret getting grand slam edition, 2k are liars.

The updates are only to the cash shop. Thats about all you can expect.

This game is basically a cash shop with Top Spin 4 tacked on to it.

I fully agree. Once you play FA with mods, everything else feels stupidly simple. When you're playing, your brain makes it look a lot better than it does... because you're focusing on the ball and placement. Everything else is in the background.

If you mixed the best from all these games we would have something amazing. Tiebreak players/roster, Full Ace gameplay, Top Spin environment visuals... that's the dream.

Full Ace will do, but the others are okay for super casual games I guess.

If Top Spin have rooster of Tiebreak or Tiebreak have gameplay of Top Spin we would have our tennis game but we have not sadly.

If I have only one choice, I will pick Top Spin.
