Mana Games

[Nigogu]

That's it, post your ideas that you think that should be on Tennis Elbow 4 that will be released in the end of 2014 or start of 2015 (not confirmed).
The ideas can be of gameplay, modding, menu's, ico's, shadows, graphic motor, running method, open source, etc
I'm sure manuTOO will read all your ideas that are in this topic.
Regards

Tournament Function
-> not only play a single match but play a whole tournament with random seeds (taken by the year you set before it starts)
-> would be perfect if you could combine it the correct court (australian open 2005 e.g.)
-> play with own player OR choose original one

Szenario Function
-> start a match at 2 sets all - 5 games all (for example if you want to replay not the whole match but from a particular moment of the match ... US Open 2011 semi-final Federer-Djokovic is in my mind.. (40-15 at 5-3 in the 5th for rog... =/))

!Help the modders!
Tournament Selector
i always search a single tournament by clicking clicking clicking clicking until i see the icon (using sams mod)
-> add some "subfolders" e.g.: Grand Slams, ATP1000, 500,250 and so on
-> after choosing this you find your tournament more easily
-> queue tournaments as it is in the year (Australian Open first.. then RG and so on..)

Statboard selector
-> Hate it to shut down the game and open again just because i would like to change the statboard
-> Choose statboard and also position (original position, top left...)

Some realism during matches
-> i wondered if its possible to add a "advantage djokovic" or whatever to the game and the umpire then says "advantage djokovic".
This should be able just if the modder added such a umpire sound for the command given
e.g. every player has his ID and if you add this sound to the ID the game finds it and you hear "advantage djokovic"
If you dont have a sound for a ID the game uses the normal "advantage"

-> i would also appreciate it if there is a possibility to make a realistic crowd and umpire (it is amazing as it is atm)
but could it be like to raise the "background voices volume" if its a very very close match and long match
but change this as soon as next set begins

-> Grunts: As i love djokovics grunt i wondered if its possible to change his using with it
As you might know he doesn't grunt in the very beginning of a match and set
He only uses it if the situation is tough - or the match is long
But it is amazing as it is.. just some thougts from my side

-> Grunt selector
Just if a modder could give a grunt which is only used if a player reaches a very hard shot of his opponent
and another grunt if the player uses acceleration shot

Online
-> add a possibility to chat before the match starts
-> a kind of a friend list would be great

Recordings
-> Possibility to rewind every single point!!

so far...

When is it coming out ?

It's an idea of years, hope someday could be done

That's a great idea, would be great to start at 68-68 in the 5th in the Isner-Mahut match

I think this is the same as the Single Tournament mode....

Statboard selector
-> Hate it to shut down the game and open again just because i would like to change the statboard

ITST & Dilima already solved this adding it by themselves, but it would be great if manu add it to the game (adding scores of other colors to the un-modded game).

Some realism during matches
-> i wondered if its possible to add a "advantage djokovic" or whatever to the game and the umpire then says "advantage djokovic".
This should be able just if the modder added such a umpire sound for the command given
e.g. every player has his ID and if you add this sound to the ID the game finds it and you hear "advantage djokovic"
If you dont have a sound for a ID the game uses the normal "advantage"

Great, but hard to do, because every player would change every time, 1 sound file each player, impossible to do in my opinion

-> i would also appreciate it if there is a possibility to make a realistic crowd and umpire (it is amazing as it is atm)
but could it be like to raise the "background voices volume" if its a very very close match and long match
but change this as soon as next set begins

3D mode....

-> Grunts: As i love djokovics grunt i wondered if its possible to change his using with it
As you might know he doesn't grunt in the very beginning of a match and set
He only uses it if the situation is tough - or the match is long
But it is amazing as it is.. just some thougts from my side

I think grunts & sounds are modded enough.... (there is a way to put grunts only on accelerations).

-> Grunt selector
Just if a modder could give a grunt which is only used if a player reaches a very hard shot of his opponent
and another grunt if the player uses acceleration shot

Already done, check when selecting a grount, there is a way to select-unselect when the player grount. (Create a player in WT and see).

Online
-> add a possibility to chat before the match starts
-> a kind of a friend list would be great

Agree

Recordings
-> Possibility to rewind every single point!!

Is possible now, you can record the things and then watch them, i think you mean save a record file EVERY SINGLE POINT

so far...

Thanks for your ideas

Nobody knows, even the game itself it's not confirmed.
This is all the news we have now:

PS: TE4 won't probably be there next year

[Hele.]

More hairstyles! Definitely! Braid hairstyle, long hairstyle! Also, movements of clothes (for example dresses, shorts, etc.). I don't know how this is complicated to do but simply, by movements and game experience this game is the best now! This aspect is needed to make complete experience! And in overall more modern design.
Finally corrected calenders and all level of challengers and futures (although we can do it already)!

Great answer, about movement of the things (clothes), it's a great idea for realism, also, for women, the hair can move like VT4 (i know the gameplay and realism is a mess) (watch 1:19):

I think the tour is modded enough for the demo, should be corrected a little, but it's okay for now.
Thanks for your answer

There are guys who play a woman?



Kind regards,

This has no sense and doesn't have any in common with the topic but:
Yes, i sometimes play with Sharapova, Radwanzka or Kvitova
PS: Where you got that image

[Hele.]

Heinrich, I'm a girl. I played tennis for about 6 years (and today still amateur) and is my passion. But anyway, if there are guys who play girls what's so bad in it? Maybe they simply play for what they are attracted. And for me, I don't have anything against playing ATP tour. In addition, I find it sometimes even more interesting (I love Nalbandian, while I was practicing tennis I always was immitating his backhand cause I'm was and still am in love with it. I do not see anything wrong I was imitating him and not for example Serena. I also like Ancic and Djokovic and some other players) but still, on long run playing more with WTA. Anyway, do not get problem with playing on different tour, I think this ascertainment with this picture is not meaning of someone playing with other tour and it can be not ok to some people. I know a lot of male persons that love WTA and that are following it on tennisforum.com and some of them also play tennis elbow! So, nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, when I told about hair and clothes I thought on male part too. Cause my idea and suggestion was to improve the game. (clothes of males: shirts, etc) also need to move imo. And there are several male players with long hair (Dolgopolov nowadays, Rafter and Agassi before but decent number of them too)

I'm just kidding ... don't take seriously.

Wow, this is great comparation! VT4 is not as near in quality of movements as TE13 but those clothes and hair moves are awesome! I wish we can have those in TE! Then it would be by faaaaar best tennis game in the world ever! I remember, as a child I play this simple game. It also has decent moves of clothes and hair (I remember there was braid hairstyle for which I'm ding to have in TE but is not in this video). Maybe there is also something that can be learn to transform it to TE! But VT4 is definitely better example!

[Hele.]

Maybe best out of all - Top Spin 2

[Nigogu]

Heinrich, I'm a girl...........................................................................................................................

It was nice to read your story

Now seriously, What do you think TE4 should change/have/improve?

Well, the game has a decent gameplay thinking it was made many years ago (i'm not telling you old )
Obviously VT4 and TS4 doesn't have even a near realism gameplay TE2013 have, but i think the graphics can still improve

Maybe best out of all - Top Spin 2

I didn't knew TS2 was so good
