The biggest mistake they do is that they forget to make players change grips. In tennis, players have different grips for forehands and backhands and slices. And different players have different grips for each of those shots. In the game they make everyone use the same (continental/eastern) grip, which actually is not used a lot today at all. That's why the shot strokes look so fake...
@@cybersecurity336 really? I think even Top Spin 4 didn't do this? Not sure but I think they sorta had everyone use an Eastern forehand grip for forehands, I think..
The problem is the racket path for selected shot. On slices it will be topspin motion. And on the volleys, same problem. No one swings up on their volleys. They need to get the stroke path down for each spin. And the serves. Pro serves hit the back fence on one bounce. If they could fix that. And put a bit more emphasis on the spin chosen ( ex: slice BH bounce lower. Kick serve curves in, then bounces out and high. Volleys swing downwards. Racket path on serve varies depending on spin). These adjustments would make big difference.
@@leolionroarrrrrrr5509 yeah agreed. The physics in these modern games is just mind-bogglingly unrealistic. Gosh when will there ever be a good looking tennis video game..
did u mention that in AO2 u can choose your player reactions after each rally?.........u can make them react either naughty or nice. If you did, sorry i must have missed it. you cant do that in AO1 as far as I am aware.
@Zra The only tournament that is licensed is the Australian Open but all the tournaments are there under different names like London Open or Paris Open .
Actually, if you ask about created players in Career Mode. If you create/download a player they should be added to your career and depending on their ratings they will be put accordingly in the Rankings
just bought ao tennis 2 for 10$, as a beginner in tennis world, it's kinda addicted not gonna lie, or maybe because i just like sport, just started my career mode🔥 usually i spend my time on fifa 22 btw,
AO2 is broken. 8 difficulties. On easiest you cant miss and on 2 you miss constantly. The reason this is is bc they make the gameplay, timing, harder as you move up in lieu of actually making the AI smarter. Terrible way to make a game more difficult . AO1 was the same but I progressed to difficulty 5 and was still having fun. TWT focuses on position for a good shot and timing 2nd. I dont like this but am interested to see TWT2 put more simulation. Even tho topspin 4 is still the best tennis sim, TWT1 has the only semi working volley system. So kudos for finally making that work, sorta. Keep playing topspin 4 till TWT2 and we'll see
Apart from the lack of licence of some top players and courts overall is a decent virtual game of tennis. The sounds of players, endorsements makes it so realistic and playing in greater than pro level id prefer without any aim marks or stamina levels showing it makes you feel you can control a real time tennis player on the tv .. The shots are pretty accurate, the physic and parabol of the ball trajectories are quite spot on as well .. I was quite impressed with this game more than expectations. Australian open court is immaculate with brilliant graphics
@@akiga3258 lol he is a tool, World's best Paladin my ass... I havent paid any attention to him for a while though so IDK... I never got why people found him funny I just found him really annoying.
I read in review you use both analog sticks in AO TENNIS 2. How fluid does it feel compared to tennis world tour? I am so glad AO tennis 2 is $40 US and plan to preorder it. I am selling TWT for $12 to amazon which is better than keeping game or trade in at box store for $6. I bought TWT at launch to support a tennis game I desperately wanted on PS4. I regret getting at all let alone at $60. I never finished a career.
Oh my goodness right! That game absolutely SUCKED! I pre-ordered it and regretted it and I too never finished the career mode. Top spin 4 for life!!!! (Or until they finally come out with a game that's as good)
Mr. Brown then they had the nerve to rebrand the game later on at $40 from the original special edition that was 70 or$80. We were the geni pigs who paid $60 for a game with worth $20. If they made another tennis world tour 2 I would never buy It. At least AO tennis 1 was bad at launch but they continued to support it.
Going to get AO Tennis 1 for the time being, until the price goes down for AO tennis 2 because they are both the same game with AO tennis 2 only having slightly updated visuals and a better career mode so it doesn’t really make much of a difference.
@LV I think that’s a good idea. I tried AO Tennis and AO Tennis 2 and the gameplay is mostly similar though AO Tennis 2 has better animation and character models
I just noticed the reticle where you direct where you shot goes. Can you turn that off? It seems distracting. If it was for a review I read I would never known that existed after watching a lot of gameplay Videos. It seems to be cumbersome using both analogs while playing.
Well yeah haha. I mean the game is okay, but not really more than that! Pretty sure there are some people who enjoy it but for me it gets boring quickly.
@@GaetanoVerdi I dont understand why you didn't focus more on the gameplay. And the ridiculousness of the difficulty settings. Making it harder to make good shots by raising the difficulty was bad in AO1 but broken in 2. And the glitches happen far more often . There's no comparison. They got my $20 and I reinstalled AO1. I am a topspin veteran and so happy to see tennis simulation getting the attention it deserves but I dont understand how they made an okay game worse...dreading/excited to see what TWT2 comes up with. Enjoy your vids just one very disappointed tennis fan!
@@loc7909 I did mention a couple of times that the difficulties are not balanced in my opinion and also that I don't think it's worth upgrading when you are only looking for different gameplay as nothing really has changed. But thanks for your input, I'll try to include more gameplay in the next videos, just tried to cover everything :-) I also don't have high hopes for the upcoming TWT2 but will give it a try of course. Let's hope for the best and thanks for your support! :-)
Did you play tennis world tour? I hate how the game was $60 and never added doubles, no out if bounds challenge, can’t hit ball while in air nor slam with terrible online connection. How would you compare gameplay to AO tennis 2 to TWT?
Yes I did, there are comparison videos here in my channel. I prefer AO it’s more challenging and feels more fluid, but it’s still not perfect but way better in my opinion
So What's the Verdict ? Ao tennis international or AO tennis 2 ? Which is the best among gameplay and graphics ? I know top spin 4 is great and classic But coming to these 2 which one do you prefer ?
If it’s on sale like it was recently AO2. Gameplay isn’t really different between 1 and 2 and graphic wise they are almost the same. the GUI is nicer in AO2. I’d recommend getting it on sale.
Hey maybe someone can help me out here. For ps4 or switch, these games seem to be the best to go for tennis at the moment. But the vanilla games are, in a way trash. What about the community in 2020? Still active? Are there several patches to fix all the problems due to the gameplay, licences and so on? I do not care about graphics a lot, gameplay is way more important! Thanks for your reply KR
As this game has 50% discount on Steam I thought I'd pick it up and encourage my friends to get a copy, first impressions are ok I thought it would be better and more intuitive in terms of racquet type/string/tension etc if you want - the UI is not that friendly either I thought - what do you think?
Yes, I uploaded a video with gameplay of him on my second channel it’s linked here on my channel and called Gaetano Gaming with a red GG logo, in case you’re interested 😉
I have a question: If I want to play the realistic career mode, I can download all players (Federer, Djokovic, etc.) and venues and those are then integrated into the career mode?
Venues I’m not 100 percent sure, they get downloaded automatically but players I think yes, you can even see it in the video that Thiem and Federer are in the top 10 and I also played a game against Thiem in career mode and those are players who aren’t in the game and I downloaded them.
Also cut out the challenge system. It's a computer it should get the line calls right every time. It adds nothing but TV realism not actually adding anything to the gameplay and imo takes away if you are questioning calls mid rally
Does anyone know if in Ao international tennis ....we can play against each other.....I mean by example me and my husband facing each other with 2 controllers?
Sweet baby Jesus, buying AO Tennis was a mistake. I've played a LOT of shitty sports games, but AO's gameplay takes the cake. Not worth the £6 I paid for it. I fucking miss Top Spin :(
Also if you play on rookie you can’t really lose, going to the next difficulty amateur it’s really hard already even though there are 6 more difficulties
@@GaetanoVerdi I dont play anything above Pro using Nadal in career mode, the AI is super human above Pro! Federer is only one who can beat me on Pro difficulty, Big Ant really screwed up AI difficulty in this game
