TENNIS VIDEO GAMES EVOLUTION [1972 - 2023] 

Pretty much

2K25 SAYS HI!!!!

Top Spin 2K25 comes out sometime during the end of 2024. 2K actually has a large budget and a solid foundation to build on from Top Spin 4, so it should be a great game. As for other recent tennis games, almost all of them have been made by VERY SMALL indie devs who don't have enough budget (or non-realistic tennis games by Nintendo, but made by Nintendo's B-team of developers with limited funds), which is why a lot of them have suffered in quality. For example, I really enjoyed 2022's Matchpoint tennis (it has a lot of positive reviews on Steam for a reason, it's a fun and easy game to just kick back, relax, and have fun with) but even I will acknowledge the game has problems (the graphics are NOT good when it comes to the character models during gameplay when they show their faces up close and that's because of lack of budget. Meanwhile, the commentary, the crowd noise and the music is kept at a minimum due to low budget reasons. Which is a shame since the little music in the game is actually really good at times. They can't afford to have the license to events like Wimbledon, so they rename the event the London Grand due to low budget reasons, etc). But gameplay wise, I thought Matchpoint was a lot of FUN (which is the main reason I play video games) despite the game's flaws due to low budget. But 2K's Top Spin 2K25 should be able to be a game that surpasses Top Spin 4 since 2K has tons of money and they can to give the game everything it needs (the best graphics possible, all the licenses to all the major tennis tournaments, a very large staff of developers who will do great things with the things they need to create for the game, etc, etc) to be a classic.

@@johnpenguinthe3rd13 Mad respect for writing all of that

@@johnpenguinthe3rd13 Dude. Thank you SO much for letting me know about 2K25. I'm so excited for that one. And at your recommendation, I'm going to give Matchpoint a shot. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the graphics (to a degree, of course). I care much more about the mechanics and how smooth it runs without glitching.

TOP SPIN 2K25 SAYS HI!!!

@@sulty0310 That is so awesome!! Can't wait for it!!

Top spin 3 was so much better. More realistic, better physics and better controllable movement. Let’s hope the new one will look more like that one

Only downside it'll be like modern 2k sports titles with microtransactions

TOP SPIN 2K25 SAYS HI!!!

In player movement and realism of movement only. Full Ace and Tennis Elbow offer the better court experience. You are blinded by nostalgia.

@thefedhd1580 Tennis Elbow has terrible graphics but the gameplay is pretty much spot on, the only game where I can feel like I have absolute control of the ball. With mods the game actually looks quite decent.

Why 4? That one was much more arcade than 3

NES Tennis 1984

Top Spin for the original Xbox

Virtua Tennis on DC! I loved that game!

NES TENNIS

There was another tennis game, (know as Tennis Titans, which was release in 2005)

thanks bro

@@VGE no problem at all

thanks

Yeah I was gonna say same thing game was pretty rad

Thanks bro

😆 sounds like something I would do!!!!!

Virtua Tennis has nothing to do with realistic gameplay at all.

@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 I agree with you, but if you is a fan of tennis and you do no playa it, Virtua tennis is very close to TV perspective

@@marcosmarques982 That's why you think it's realistic? The perspective?😂😂 There are nany different TV perspectives, any game mirrors some of them, in many games you can even chose from different perspectives. That doesn't make it a realistic game.

@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 I completely desagree with you, in 2010s when I play the virtua tennis 4 I was seing the big 3 on TV the emotions and plays are similar to the real match of tennis, today we have a lot of games for tennis, but is to "arcade" or false simulation of tennis

No 64 and older ones did

You can't be serious

I came here to mention that one. It was played on an oscilloscope

lol true ;)

Federer and Nadal have been rivals since at least the 1800s
