Top Spin 2K25 is coming, a little bit of nostalgia play. World Tour servers are down, but Player Match still works. Swan song for the game I played a lot.
What can be better than a dead drop volley after a perfect approach shot? They called me a cheater because I was like a wall at the net in some matches.
You should never send the ball to Nadal's backhand, even when he's off balance. It's just too strong and consistent. Better to target his forehand or mix up the shots!
Let's figure out first that we are talking about the same thing: his forehand is 82, backhand 74, are you sure you mean his forehand or you confused it with his left and right side of the court? I'm asking because Nadal is lefty and, as you mentioned, has strong and cosistent backhand, but his forehand is even better.
Its impressive how this game is awesome! Its been so many years, and i dont think 2k will be able to make a better game then this. Even with this new entry... i don't know.... it seems so limited.
I really like balance in this game, it forces you to play in the style similar of recreated players. People who complained about Federer's serve being 60 for example never played online a lot I guess. He has the best forehand in the game - 93, and if you master inside-out shot, it becomes a deadly weapon and also you emulate his playstyle. Sampras has much better serve and volley stats (83, 90) than Federer (60, 64) and it forces you to play much more at the net just like real Pete.
