it's in TEM2...

Oh, I didn't know that, since I never played TEM2 before.
Thanks for clarifying that for me!

But I just remembered in TE 2013 wherein before you enter a tournament, you have no. of days of training so that your stats will increase? so I was thinking maybe you could add some injury-based mechanics in that aspect, so that it would be more challenging for us players to really decide when and not to train our characters? Or is is that you planned something different for the TE4?

Thanks Manutoo!

TE4 management part will very likely stay simple like the TE2013 one.
If someone wants a deeper management experience, TEM2 will open its arms to him...

Hi Manutoo

I love it if there were a way to have entry lists for tournaments that you could mod or to select which players play which tournament. I've been using zone player, best rank, edited the weeks players play through time off and updated players best surface, however I still get players (particularly on the main tour) playing unrealistic events such as south American clay court players playing on hard courts in Asia and vice versa. It's my only bug bare in what is a fantastic game.

Suggestion: Improve the crowd cheering. It's kinda a damper on the mood when I win a tournament or even a match and nobody cheers cos the point wasn't good. Maybe also have a popularity meter for a player? Automatically high on home courts and for a player that kept winning like Federer/Nadal.

This definitely needs to happen

I would like to play in a real crowd atmosphere in Davis Cup, i.e when the visiting team gets a point, the crowd lament or clap shyly, but when the home team gets a point the fans clap strongly. The sounds are the same as you have in the TE2013, but I don't know if you can programme this.

能不能有中文版的？因为在中国有很多人喜欢这个游戏！

wtaatp,
it'll be technically possible to translate TE4 to Chinese, so if someone wants to do it, I'll add it to the game.

Hello manutoo!
Will TE4 be released this year or next, or when, more or less?
Regards.

Hi manutoo I have been playing TEM2 for a while, and I love the changes on the game. Despite
1) the rally is a little bit too short, it's always been serve and return serve, so incredible8 is not even that challenging as before. Return serve is obviously too powerful.
2) I have played against different types of players, but because of the frequent slicing and short rally, their different traits did not show up that much. If you add a little depth and speed to the defensive shot, that would be perfect.

Nerf the AI on higher difficulties. Right now the AI is way too overpowered. The CPU is able to catch every single ball, barely hitting any unforced errors, make winners on the run from unrealistic positions, always hit net cord on crucial points, hitting the ball without actually touching it with the racket (sometimes even hitting the ball behind him), hit scripted balls that always land close to the baseline (...) yeah the list goes on.

Here are my suggestions, mostly on realism that is not match related

1) Add one or two additional stadiums to grand slam tournaments. If your rank is low or you play doubles it would be nice if you don't always play on central court
2) Add damage on grass courts. Day 1 starts with an excellent grass and as the tournament advances you can see the damage on the baselines and a bit on the net side as well
3) Real match time: This is probably dumb but 1-2 minutes could be added to the match time in each time change, so when the match ends it shows 1.30 or 2 hours instead of the 20-30 minutes you actually play. This could also impact player stamina during the tournament if such a thing is considered in the game. If you play 3-4 five set matches on a grand slam, you'll probably end up very tired
4) Add net movement when ball hits the net
5) Add day/night time for matches, especially on hard courts

That's all I can think about right now. Thanks!

Ale,

2) it's already in TE2013 (and TEM2)

3) in TE2013/TEM2 ; In-game menu -> Options -> Simulated Match Time -> on

Hello manutto, congratulations on your progress.

There are some suggestions and also questions:

1) It would be very colorful some animation of entry of the players to the court, and also when winning a tournament.

2) In many winning shots, currently the animation is a bit strange, both players usually stay in the waiting position (see minute 0:33 of this video ).

Will new animations be added? Some things like going for the towel, some interaction with the public, arranging the strings, etc., that give it variety.

3) Usually, playing against the AI, when one throws a ball outside the rival player stays static and dosen't run it, or doesn't impact it if it's in net. This takes away realism, given that many times in tennis, when one is on the net, it is impossible to know if it will be good or bad, and one tends to volley. Is it possible to add that the rival runs it even if it is bad?

4) The effectiveness of the slice is somewhat high in TE 2013, even in players with bad backhand. Will this be corrected?

5) It would be very good to see reflected the changes that took place in the world tour, such as incorporating the Hopman Cup and the Laver Cup, the "ATP Cup", and the new Davis Cup.
In turn, also the 5 formats of Challenger tournaments (125, 110, 100, 90 and 80), and the 4 tournament formats of the ITF World Tennis Tour.

6) This year we have two types of ranking, the "ATP" which includes 679 players, and the "ITF World Tour". Will this be reflected in the game or will there be a unique ranking?

Nothing else at the moment, thanks for your attention. Greetings.
