Build 28, March 10th:

- Gameplay : short strike is a bit faster, especially with a precision higher than the power
- Gameplay : in World Tour, female players are a bit more powerful, especially when they have high power skills
- Service : topspin & kick serves have more spin, thus the bounce is higher

Bug Fixes :
- Wildcard : no WC message for future qualies anymore
- Gesture : no automatic gesture anymore for your player

Build 30, March 30th:

New Features :
- Match replay : now you can record & replay your matches..! It's in Beta stage, so for advanced users only, but have a look here for more info : topic29-2061.php
- Cheat : can change the speed & acceleration of the CPU players
- Master Tie Break : u can now choose to do a Master Tie Break for the last set in the Training Club ; in World Tour, Int'l Gold & lower tournaments for men and Tier II and lower tournaments for women have a Master Tie Break for the 3rd set in doubles
- Modding : you can also change the number of points for TB & MTB in the "Tennis.ini", NbTieBreakPoint & NbMasterTbPoint under [Game]
- Sound : can turn off the line judge calls when the ball doesn't pass the net ; in Tennis.ini, look for FaultOnSameSide, under [Sound], and set it to 0

Changes :
- Physics : ball bounce tuned on some courts
- Gameplay : precision lowered when hitting the ball in a new direction (ie: the ball is coming from the left, and you send it to the right) ; and even a lot more lowered when hitting with a 1-hand backhand ; the lowering is especially noticeable when you don't center correctly the ball in your cords, or/and on difficult balls
- Gameplay : topspin strike length handicap is now bigger when you stand far from the baseline and put a lot of topspin in the ball (ie: it'll help to beat CPU players with a very high topspin skill)
- Service : topspin service bounce height and speed lowered a bit
- Gameplay : in World Tour, female players topspin max has been lowered

Bug Fixes :
- Gesture : animation could be played 2 times too fast sometimes ; now the animation speed should be always correct
- World Tour : game correctly returns to the Menus after have won the last match of the 1st week of Grand Slam tournaments, instead of going directly to play the 1st match of the 2nd week

Notes :
- The Build 29 was Windows only

when will there be internet matches for TE2009 Mac?

miguel, likely never, except if someone ports the DirectPlay library by Direct-X to Mac OSX...
