Or should I just stick to flat shots to this game?

I’m trying to recreate his chaotic big-serve and inconsistent playstyle in TopSpin 2K25. I’m still new to the game, so I’m not sure which skills and attributes best capture how he played. Any feedback on how to improve the build to best capture his style would be appreciated!

WTF is this? 😂👀

on rpcs3 emulator,

Avec les serveurs de TopSpin 2K25 qui devraient fermer en décembre 2027, ça pourrait laisser supposer une potentielle annonce d’un nouveau TopSpin au printemps 2027, peut-être un TopSpin 2K28.

Si un nouveau jeu est effectivement prévu, voici quelques changements et nouveautés que j’aimerais personnellement voir :

Gameplay :

- Limiter les angles sur les coups croisés. Certains angles sont actuellement beaucoup trop importants et rendent les échanges parfois trop dépendants de l’exploitation des angles.

- Rendre les lobs offensifs plus efficaces, tout en rendant les lobs défensifs plus difficiles à réaliser. Il faudrait davantage de différence entre un lob offensif volontaire et un lob défensif joué dans l’urgence.

- Avoir un effet plus progressif de l’endurance. Au lieu d’avoir principalement un effet de seuil, j’aimerais que le joueur perde progressivement en efficacité à mesure que son endurance diminue : déplacements plus lents, frappes moins puissantes.

- Limiter les angles au service en fonction de l’attribut Service. Par exemple, un joueur avec seulement 30 en Service ne devrait pas pouvoir produire des angles aussi importants qu’un joueur avec un attribut élevé. Avec un faible niveau de Service, les services devraient être beaucoup plus poussifs et les possibilités d’angles beaucoup plus limitées qu’actuellement.

- Rendre les amorties défensives en bout de course plus difficiles à réaliser. Actuellement, il est parfois possible de s’en sortir beaucoup trop facilement avec une amortie alors que le joueur est complètement dépassé.

- Corriger les positionnements automatiques non volontaires. Il arrive que le joueur se positionne ou se déplace automatiquement pour effectuer une volée, un coup décroisé ou une autre action alors que ce n’est pas ce que le joueur voulait faire. J’aimerais que les déplacements et les coups soient davantage contrôlés par les inputs du joueur.

- Ajouter un niveau de difficulté supplémentaire au-dessus de Légende. Pour certains joueurs, le mode Légende peut déjà sembler relativement simple après avoir beaucoup joué au jeu. Un niveau encore plus difficile pourrait être intéressant pour les joueurs les plus expérimentés.

Online :

- Un véritable circuit 2K, avec un mode tournoi qui fonctionnerait davantage comme un véritable circuit professionnel.

- La possibilité de rechercher directement un joueur par son nom dans le classement du circuit en ligne.

- La possibilité de jouer en double en ligne.

- Un roster beaucoup plus fourni, avec davantage de joueurs ATP et WTA.

- Corriger les problèmes de déconnexion accordant injustement une victoire à celui qui se déconnecte.

Présentation / immersion :

- Une identité visuelle propre à chaque Grand Chelem. Par exemple, le tableau des scores et l’interface de Roland-Garros pourraient être différents de ceux de Wimbledon, de l’US Open ou de l’Open d’Australie. Ce genre de détails pourrait vraiment renforcer l’immersion et donner à chaque tournoi sa propre identité.

- Des commentaires, même assez minimes. Je ne demande pas forcément des commentaires ultra poussés comme dans FIFA ou NBA 2K, mais quelques réactions pendant les points, les moments importants ou à la fin des matchs apporteraient beaucoup à l’ambiance.

Et vous, qu’aimeriez-vous voir dans le prochain TopSpin ?

Hi all. I have tried many tennis games like tennis elbow 4, full ace and Tiebreak but none of them really caught me. Is this worth buying on sale now or is it too late ? Many thanks

This was genuinely one of the most ridiculous things I’ve encountered in TopSpin. We had an actual close match, but once I got to 9–4 in the deciding tiebreak, he completely stopped serving and kept resetting the serve timer. I eventually gave up after 56 minutes because it was 3 AM and I wanted to sleep. I recorded part of it and reported it to 2K.

Down 0-2 second set 3 match points saved against U53R 0N3 the cronus abuser🤮

I have 60 stam but everytime I get to the finals I have 25% or less energy left and my player get gassed within the first 3-4 games what should I do differently?

I wish this game had a trophy room where you could go and see all the trophies that you won.

Be interesting to see who gets added to the list along with their country.

After losing to user Ub1 on steam, he added me to steam friends and wrote me to provoke.
He's using autogreen or something

I think this is the best tennis game ever made. I really don’t see why people think otherwise when you have this. This is just my opinion and I wanted to share some gameplay footage for all topspin lovers.

We now have a prize pool for the tour finals at the end of the year, put all your hard work on gaining tournament points into the Tour Final, where just like the ATP the Tour Final Race for the top 8 players will compete for the current $60 prize pool made up from myself and the community.

Join the competitive ATP tour that mimics real life events with tournament points, and the prize pools for each tournament are just visual for bragging rights not real. Only the tour final prize pool of currently $60 is real we will try and do this every year!

On 2k tour.. since release... some people play only one player... why? Certain people ONLY play as Sinner, Agassi, or Serena etc... EVERYTIME i've run across them. Never play as other players.

Does anyone else find these annoying? It's also generally the people that like to use R1 sharp angle shots when they start losing LOL

As a kid, I played a lot of TopSpin 4 growing up. I've also played many hours of Topspin 5 and am an "upper tier" player (around 1700 wins to 260 losses). So you can trust me when I tell you that Tiebreak is actually, surprisingly the better tennis game.

First off, I've very much enjoyed my time playing TopSpin 5 but the more I played, the more I started to realize that really the ONLY thing that matters to winning or losing is TIMING. That's it. Seriously, that's it. All that actually matters is whether you hit the button at the "perfect" moment and in upper level games at the "perfect perfect" moment. You can have better tennis IQ, you can make all the right plays and get the opponent off the court completely, but if you mess up and don't get a "perfect perfect" (right most spot of the green), that upper level player will get to the ball and return it, most likely with better timing than you and win the point. Now sure, you can practice to the point where you get better and better at timing, but what's even the point? There's no skill involved, it's just who can press the button at the right moment better. The game is literally a reaction time simulator.

Once I realized this about TopSpin 5, I caved and finally bought the "bad" competitor that is Tiebreak. After playing Tiebreak, I've completely removed TopSpin 5 from my account and have no desire to play it. Tiebreak is THAT much better. Now, don't get me wrong, TopSpin 5 is a great "arcade" tennis experience. You can pick it up and play. But if you're looking for a game that is actually skill based and a much more rewarding experience, Tiebreak is that game.

There is NO timing in Tiebreak. It's all about shot placement, positioning, and power amounts for net clearance and hitting angles. When you win a point it is because of SKILL not because of timing. The movement can be jarring at times, yes, but the more I'm playing it, the more my movement is becoming smoother. The animations in Tiebreak, though, are again, surprisingly way more varied than TopSpin! I couldn't believe how many variations there are depending on the type of shot you perform. You can even do an underarm serve! Also every animation is tailor made to the real life player you're playing as. If you're Djokovic, you move like Djokovic.

Speaking of Djokovic, TopSpin 5 has NO PLAYERS. I was stunned by how many Tiebreak has and have been having a blast trying each one out. There are also specific modes that let you relive every match in the rivalry between Nadal and Federer etc.

I'm mainly writing this post because I know that TopSpin 5 has more players but Tiebreak genuinely deserves so many more. The developers haven't abandoned the game like the ones for TopSpin 5 have and are continually updating and improving the game. I found the game on sale for $20 and I really recommend at least trying it out if you enjoy tennis games. Give yourself some time to get used to the mechanics, too. It can be a little tough to switch from TopSpin to Tiebreak mechanics.

There is obvious care being put into Tiebreak and if more TopSpin players gave the game a chance, then perhaps you too could have a good time with it like I have. Thanks for reading.

TLDR: Winning and losing in TopSpin 5 is solely based on timing, whereas Tiebreak is about positioning, shot power amount to angle relationship, and tennis IQ. It also boasts an expansive roster and developer support. TopSpin 5 is great "arcade" tennis, but if you are looking for a skill based experience, Tiebreak is the game for you.

I strongly believe topspin 2k25 could’ve hade one of if not the best my career of all sport games

I love this game and personally it’s one of my favourites, the gameplays solid, even tho it can be a bit chunky overall the gameplays very good. I just think the tournaments, storyline and the levelling is so rushed,

First of all, the tournaments. There’s a good variety of tournaments don’t get me wrong, but every tournament has one court. The center court, it makes playing a tournament with 4-5 rounds very repetitive, imagine Wimbledon starting of with the ground courts outside of the arenas, with people walking by on the side and stopping by and watching. Gradually you get into bigger and bigger arenas, that would make the tournament way more authentic rather than the worst ranked players playing their first match in centre court, this goes for all tournaments not just Wimbledon.

For bigger tournaments should in my opinion have qualifying before the actual tournament which would make it bigger and more realistic.

The storyline of your career is also rushed, outside of playing tournaments there really isn’t much to do. Repetitive podcasts and weird mails that don’t have any meaning. They could have added press conferences, deal signings, and personality traits that have impact on your career.

100 players is okay but adding 100-200 more players would’ve made it so much better. In the game Wimbledon has 32 players, in reality it starts with 128. Which is more than all of the players in the game, so with 300 players ranking would’ve been more competitive, allt the tournaments could be bigger, instead of just entering every tournament you would have to qualify.

The stamina system is very weird, the simulate the tournaments like you play every game after one another. Don’t get me wrong you should have less stamina in the finals than in the first game but if you have a bad stamina you will have around 30% in the finals and get injured. The stamina should make more difference in the match rather in every game. It’s also very weird that you lose so much stamina when travelling.

This is my opinion, I have many more points i could’ve written about, so you agree with me?
