Mana Games

I'm still on the TE97, and since I've been playing it for a century or so I've come up with a few suggestions for the future versions (BTW I think it's really the best tennis game ever, regardless of some having better graphics, sound or "real players"). First of all, qualifications. I read somewhere you've put that in a new version, which I always thought was necessary. Also, you can't enter any tournament you wish, whenever you wish. You gotta have certain ranking to enter certain tournaments. Doubles tournaments! Why wouldn't you be able to play doubles, just like singles throughout the year on tournaments, winning points for them and gainning a doubles ranking as well? Don't girls play tennis as well? In TE97 every court on one surface is exactly the same - doesen't sound realistic, right? Players never get injured, no matter how much they play(?). Davis cup (I mean team cup... is too easy. If you choose to play it your country is in the world group (among top 16) right away - you don't have to work your way into the competition for a few years. Weather is always sunny, with no wind and with exactly the same sunlight direction(?). Well, these are just some of the things I remembered. If I come up with more I'll let you know. Marijan

Hello,

- qualifications : yup, they're included in TE2005 !
- double competition: in TE2005 also (but without qualifications)
- now with the v1.0b, there are a total of 7 courts
- Davis Cup : I'll add a 2nd division someday
- weather : my guess is that change it wouldn't give a good impact on the gameplay
- women competition : it'd be great, but it'd need too much artwork


Regards,

I love this game, and will always love this game. You have done a great job with the new version.

I only have two suggestions for a future version :

#1. Two handed backhand for both Sprites. I guess you could have a 0,1,2,3. Sprite 0 and 1 would be the old sprites and sprite 2 and 3 could be the same sprites with two handed backhands.

#2. Show how many times that a tournament was won and or a win / lose record for a specific tournament. the statistics are great in the 2005 version but i think this would be a great addition for a future version

thanks for everthing you have done and all of your hard work

Hello,

thanks

1# The game will get 3D players within 1 year (for TE2007), if everything is alright, and they'll have choice between 1 and 2 handed backhand anims

2# I'll see what I can do about that !
