Bug Reporting and overall feedback

[prafull.arjeria]

As a full time tennis player, coach and owner of a youtube channel with hundreds of AO Tennis 2 videos here are some of the bugs that I want to report. Can also share screenshots/videos if someone is willing to fix these bugs.

Graphical bugs (using Nvidia GTX 1060) :-

1. Flickering shadows- The game shows lots of flickering shadows every now and then.
2. Black texture- There is a flying black texture (mostly during the changeover cutscenes).
3. Some items distort- My player was eating a banana during changeover and banana texture almost tripled in size for a second or so.
4. Misplaced items -During the changeover player was sitting in mid air instead of the bench.

Here are some of the issues with the gameplay which needs to be fixed. Please remember that most of thee issues are with CPU play:-

1. Under arm serves - Needs to be disabled entirely for CPU. No player in the world except Kyrgios and Paire use it anyway.

2. Zoom on serve - Needs to be removed completely. Looks bad. Is useless. No TV broadcast ever shows a zoom like that.

3. Drop shots - As of now CPU is trying to hit too many drop shots. No player in the world hits a drop shot every alternate rally. Frequency needs to be reduced to almost 10% of what's it's currently set.

4. Highlights - As of now highlights are predominantly being shown only from the top angle. It will be better if highlights are a mix of all camera angles.

5. Ball - Ball size is slightly smaller than AO Tennis 2 which makes it difficult to see (especially if you are watching the video of the game on a mobile screen). Also the balls are slightly dull in color (like very old balls with all names diminished). In actual matches balls are always in very good new like condition since they are changed after a fixed number of games.

6. Unforced errors - I recently did an AI vs AI match Alcaraz vs Sinner which went for 5 sets. The total winners count was about 30 for each player which is ok for a real match but unforced error count was around 150 each which is way too much. AI needs to make less unforced errors and more forced errors so the counts are reasonably like real matches. Also the number of unforced errors while trying drop shots is ridiculous.

7. First faults - AI is hitting 90% + First serves in. That is way too much. First serve percentage usually hovers around 60-70% in real matches. Also I didn't see even a single double fault from AI in all the matches that I have played so far. A second serve percentage around 95% should be reasonable setting for AI.

8. Change over Rest - One of the player was sitting during the change over, other one was simply standing and moving to other side. Both of them should ideally rest. While broadcasting tennis matches in AO Tennis 2 the annoying thing was really short change over time. If possible there should be a setting to fix change over time varying from 0 to 90 seconds. With a mix of players toweling, Drinking water, eating banana and some highlights of the previous game being shown during that break time.

9. Venue creator Problems - This problem has been carried over from AO Tennis 2. There are many settings where you are putting in a logo but the place where logo is being put isn't displayed on screen. So it becomes really tough to resize and move the logo. The best example for this is primary sponsor logo.

I will post more after trying for few more days.

As someone who just bought the game this weekend and played for more than 10 hours, I agree with your points...and if I can leave a little bit of feedback here:

I've played Topspin 2k25 for more than 100 hours, and I was skeptical of Tiebreak when watching the videos, after I tried it I loved it, but ball physics aren't there yet...the ball still looks a little floaty, specially in dropshots and flat shots, topspin (not the game) shots look better, but when you hit slow shots it looks floaty too.
I'm sure animations and game fluidity will get better, because it needs a little work too. And those defensive weird lobs have to be changed, in real tennis, most of the times those shots would be normal slices, even a little lower than normal, not lobs.
But overall I'm hopeful this game will be great and I can't wait to see the next updates.

How do you do AI vs AI? Can you watch other matches in tournaments or something in career?
