Hello,
Just a few words, having played TE2013, TEM2 and TE4 for many years now. Whats is written below is only my point of view to take it as a feedback.
Overall, the game has become more and more realistic. And when I say "realistic", I mean the gameplay and the animations are closer to what we get when watching a match on TV.
About the gameplay, in TE2013, the rallies lasted too long, you could easily get a bunch of 50-shots rallies in a match because the players run too fast. So the return was unrealistic and the rallies were unrealistic as well. More over, you could almost never get a ball in the net (unforced error) throughout a match in TE2013, the ball had to pass the net no matter what happened in the rally which is fixed now.
The animations, especially the volley anims look a lot more like the real ones. Of course, they still lack a bit of pace in my opinion, but it's better regarding the animations so the volley looks more realistic overall. Plus, the overhead movement is now really close to real movement and you don't get 50% of "backhand overhead" which wasn't quite realistic.
I could spend hours typing down all the changes...
Of course, the game still needs some work, the process isn't final yet. The modding part needs to be spread, it's still not wide-spread through the forum currently even if a patch just came out yesterday. The serves could get some more variations (especially clay court kick serve out wide and stuff...)
Those were a bit of my feelings about how realistic the game has become in the recent years.
