A really buggy game

Postby Williamz » 19 May 2007, 16:07

Hello, I really love your game, but I must say it isn't actually very high quality...in the sense that there are so many bugs that make the gameplay much less enjoyable.
I'm sure there are more than these but I report a few that make me mad constantly:

With the new update, I can't play online.

Every time I play an opponent, my set number and court surface settings chance to the same of the opponent I just played. Annoying.

When I play offline, the world mode, I try to start a new game, and want to set the number of sets for different kind of tournaments, it seems random when I can do this. Sometimes I can, sometimes can't.

Sometimes my saved games just dissapear, for no obvious reason at all.

I still can't change the name and stats of the ranking players, it doesn't work. Sometimes the new player I made does appear in the rankings, but then dissapears mysteriously. Then appers again, in a completely random spot in the ranking.

I was ranked number one, then suddenly 20, and 32, and then 1 again. Sometimes my ranking jumps around for no reason.

I hope for the 2007 version, which I intend to purchase, you do a more careful and proffesional job scripting the game.
All these bugs make me crazy!

It's not actually the cheapest game around so I did except to get something better.

I do hope the 2007 game packs a ton of new features and innovations because if I pay 20 dollars for basically the same buggy game with a few new features that are supposed to justify the leeching then I demand refund.

Hello,

>> Every time I play an opponent, my set number and court
>> surface settings chance to the same of the opponent I just played.

It's not a bug :
- when you join a game, it's the expected behavior
- when you create a game, and the court resets to the Blue-Green cement, it means someone with the demo version joined your game (so he doesn't have access to other courts)


>> set the number of sets for different kind of tournaments, it
>> seems random when I can do this. Sometimes I can, sometimes can't.

You only can when the "Advanced Options" in the "Misc Options" screen are "On".


>> Sometimes my saved games just dissapear,
>> for no obvious reason at all.

Likely coz of a profile change (it's reset to the default one when you install an updated version)

>> Sometimes the new player I made does appear in the
>> rankings, but then dissapears mysteriously.

When you install an update, it resets the players to the default bank. Your modified banks are renamed with "-LastUsed" added at the end ; if you re-install the game 2 times in a row, you'll lose your modified banks.

>> Then appers again, in a completely random spot in the ranking.

Hmm, it's very strange... Could you try to describe a bit more precisley what's happening ?

>> I was ranked number one, then suddenly 20, and 32, and
>> then 1 again. Sometimes my ranking jumps around for no reason.

Are you sure it's not coz you're looking the different rankings ? (single / double, race / entry)

>> I hope for the 2007 version, which I intend to purchase,

When it's possible, I'm trying to correct all the bugs reported.
In your case, it seems many things are not really bugs, but more behavior of the game that you don't like (which is annoying as well).
