Balls into the net and outside the line will be more a part of play. It makes unforced errors more a part of the game, reasoned Jacquemain. On-screen indicators will designate the strength of a return so that a user knows whether they’ve played it too soft or too long. Tennis World Tour, said Jacquemain, will soften the the difficulty curve for timing the shot - but it will place a greater priority on where the player is when they get to it, how strong their return should be, the player’s natural handedness, and other factors. What we wanted to do was exactly the opposite.” “If a player very accurately hit the center of a slider, the shot was insanely powerful. “In Top Spin 1 (by PAM Development, for Xbox in 2003) there was a critical shot,” said Ginocchio. And super-shot options were also unbeatable, if the player likewise figured out their timing. The return was based on timing, which was inscrutable to some, but for those who could master it, it resulted in an overpowering shot for most returns. Ordinarily, video game tennis can be very PONG-like, in that simply moving to the ball and returning it can be an effective play. This means Tennis World Tour will see a timing mechanism different from what Top Spin players encountered.
TENNIS WORLD TOUR LEGEND EDITION SERIES
They’ve approached Tennis World Tour as a spiritual successor to that series - what they would have done if it wasn’t canceled. Breakpoint Studios has alumni from PAM Development and 2K Czech, who built the Top Spin series first for Microsoft and then 2K Sports.

Still, any career mode is going to depend on strong gameplay to remain compelling for a full tour season, even if players are picking, choosing and skipping its events. “And some will choose to avoid clay, because maybe they’re more like Fed. “Some players will want to focus on indoor tournaments, for example, because they are a good server,” Ginocchio said. Etienne Jacquemain, the creative director of Tennis World Tour, understood that the career mode will be the game’s most popular feature, and so he and his colleagues wanted to build a career that was more than just a one-by-one progression through events under different names. Neither in that series, nor in tour-based golf video games, has a player gotten any kind of a penalty for playing every event on the schedule, even though pros decline them all the time for legitimate reasons. Breakpoint Studio/Bigben InteractiveĬarried off properly, it’ll be a nice distinction for a sport that hasn’t had a simulation quality game since 2011’s Top Spin 4.
TENNIS WORLD TOUR LEGEND EDITION PROFESSIONAL
Breakpoint consulted with Boris Vallejo, a French Tennis Federation coach, and three others to construct a realistic cadence and set of choices for the virtual professional in Tennis World Tour.

More realistically, players plan and use smaller events to prepare for bigger ones - for example, the Italian Open to head into the French Open (both on clay surface) - and also choose or avoid surfaces according to their created pro’s attributes.
TENNIS WORLD TOUR LEGEND EDITION PRO
There is no way any pro could participate in the entire series. There are 73 events in 2018 that count toward a player’s tour ranking in the Association of Tennis Professionals there are 61 on the Women’s Tennis Association’s tour schedule. It’s an unusual design choice but one that reflects reality. So you want to plan your tournament schedule correctly.” Every time you participate in a tournament you lose physical form, and you’ll lose even more if you travel all the way around the world for a tournament. “We wanted the career mode to be the main mode and the strength of the game.

“Our goal for the career was for it not to be tournament-to-tournament, but to plan for the season ahead,” said Romain Ginocchio, Tennis World Tour’s producer. In Tennis World Tour, the fatigue of travel, along with the endurance of a long schedule, will require the player to plan their tour events and strategically skip those that don’t suit them. In sports video games, players usually bypass events because the season is very long (MLB The Show, at 162 games) or the opponent is uninteresting (the Sacramento Kings in December, NBA 2K18).

Tennis World Tour, coming in May from Breakpoint Studios and Bigben Interactive, will make a player plan their schedule, just like a real world pro. But none have deliberately involved skipping an event as a strategic choice. If you play Tennis World Tour’s career mode, be prepared to suffer from jet lag.Ĭareer modes across every type of sport represented in a video game have all featured rest (MLB The Show, for pitchers) recovery ( EA Sports UFC 3, between fights) or injury systems.
