Ratings and reviews

I really want to like this game. However it has some "features" that ruin it. I will be in a middle of a volley and run up for a ball and IT chooses to smash when im trying to get it to slice or simple just hit the ball. This would be fine other than it goes out when you smash it 95% of the time. Other times I'll be running side to side playing baseline and the character chooses to stop running. I figured this was a feature of being tired, but no. It happens at all energy levels. Ruins the fun

I was willing to deal with the constant needing to Challenge the out calls on any Aces or Smashes that flirted with the line and I was willing to deal with the horrible accuracy regardless of skill points but when I logged in this morning and saw the last 1/4 of my progress (I finally began winning a few tournaments) hadn't been saved I was done. Nothing worse than a waste of time in a buggy mess of a game. This one could have been a WINNER but too many UNFORCED ERRORS. See what I did there?

Mixed feelings: fun and frustrating. This is a fun game with that "one more turn" feeling. I enjoyed levelling up a player on career mode, gradually learning how to better my tennis game. However, once your character hits the top 20 in ranking it appears the difficulty level spikes. Previously easier encounters with lower star characters (and by this time your player is 4-5 stars) are insanely difficult. Plus the imperfect controls on a phone screen make timing runs and shots hit and miss.
