TE 2007?!?!

Really enjoying your game!

You've mentioned a few times Tennis Elbow 2007 in other posts; I was just wondering when we can expect this and also how it wll differ from the previous TE's.

I know you've hinted at 3D graphics but can you give us anything else to get excited about?? Should be great!

Thanks!

i like it the way it is..............3d games frecuently are more worried about the graphics than the game itself.


i would not like another kind of graphics

just my opinion

Hello,

the release date is "when it's done" ... ;)
I guess it'll be around beginning of next year.

The exact new features / changes are still not sure.
But here the main lines :
1- 3D players (sure at 99%)

2- even more realistic ball trajectories : if you have a close look at TE2006, you'll see that very slow ball (ie: drop shot) and very fast ball (ie: service) don't have a true realistic trajectory, and I want to change that

3- new AI : it should allow to give a play style to AI players, to give more variety in your opponents, and emulate (a bit) the play style of some real players

4- improved gameplay : the feelings should still be the same, but I'll probably add a short crossed acceleration, more variety in the ball trajectories on every shot, and the positioning of your player will affect the way you hit in the ball (I'm not sure exactly how right now) ; and probably a new service

The court will be still in 2D, to keep this 2D feeling, easy to read, and doesn't need a big PC to play the game... :)

No change planned in the World Tour...

Glad to hear the World Tour section of the game isn't changing as that is the best part of the game.

It seems that the game only needs polishing up in certain places like AI and graphics so I'm really looking forward to TE 2007. Although I'm certainly enjoying TE 2006 in the meantime.

Keep up the good work!

Can we get TE2006 to do the following?

Hello,

Not to be picky; however, I did ask for the following suggestions to be taken into consideration:

1) A scoreboard that is considerable to ESPN2's or NBC's score board (you can see the rank/seed of the player with his or her name).

2) Automated statistical data pop-ups. You just hit an unforced error, winner, smash, volley, break points, etc. . . . It will show up and keep you amped during the match!!!! :)

THIS IS ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXTRA SUGGESTIONS.

3) Challenge the umpire with "out" calls and have the ability to call time out.

4) Option for rain delays during the game. Hehe.

I will tell you more as I come up with more ideas (really suggestions).

Thanks,
Eraider

@Eraider :
you already did these suggestions, and they have not been forgotten ! ;)
1 & 2 will probably be there, and 3 & 4 won't be there for sure...
