Feature request: allow offline play for everything except online matches

[⭐alb3530]

Please, allow playing career, exhibition, access and customize our created player.
It's not a good design to force online in a tennis game where even exhibition (or future career mode) can't be accessed offline.

Take Virtua Tennis 4 as an example: you need internet for online matches only, but everything else can be accessed offline, including career and player customization.

And why can't i find anything about needing to be always online to play the game? This should be stated on the store page!

I nearly bought it now, good that i looked in the disscussions before doing that. Same ♥♥♥♥ as with TS2K25 wich was offline for 6 hours yesterday? No thank you then.

No OFFLINE MODE for singleplayer stats and career?

Hard pass then.

Pretty much every game these days requires a constant internet connection, maybe in the days when Sim City got slaughtered for it, you could then argue for it, but not these days.

Well, its 2024, and gaming path are already different, more advance shall I say. Maybe you read some post that games should be current in everything and here we are, I am not surprised with these things.

I respect your use of Google Translate, I do, but the tide of weak submissive republican-esq blind acceptance of online always is beginning to fade.

Keep watching it will become obvious to everyone, you too, perhaps.

So, hang on... You cannot play PvP offline without being online? 🥴

Currently, this game is like "The Crew": while offline (internet and/or game server problem), the farthest you can reach is the title screen.

State of "The Crew" now:

It’s by design. They do it to curb piracy I believe
