Hi guys, im new to this forum but im not new to the game.
I was wondering if Tennis Elbow 2012 will come out, and if yes, when.
I think this is an exceptional tennis game and im really looking forward to the next game
Cheers

Hello,

no, no TE2012, but likely a couple of big updates for TE2011.

When will be new updates for 2011???

Too bad, because if this game had better graphics it would be amazing. It already has a perfect gameplay

Offtopic: @manutoo - What can I do against the guys who are buying themselfs some more time in order not to lose a match? For example, i was winning against different players and I was leading 5-1 or 5-3, etc and they were serving to stay in the match, they just bounced the ball more, they're first service would go out on purpose, you know stuff like that. Some players are just pathetic, they care too much about the points. Is there something I can do to stop them from doing that? Or even worse some of them just press Escape and remain in the Main Menu forever, making me quit the game and not winning the match and getting the points I was supposed to get.
That would be an idea for the next TE2011 update, every player should have like 3 seconds to serve. Then, if a player pauses the game he should have only 25 seconds left or so before returning to the game.
Let me know what you think!

thx for the answer

1- Don't edit your post to add stuff, just edit for typo ; 1st time I read your previous post, there was no question, now there are plenty
2- Don't hijack topic... is it that hard to create a new topic for a question not related to the current topic ?
3- Don't off-topic , there's a forum for the online mode, and it's not this one
4- Don't ask to put something in the game that is already here
5- Don't be sarcastic when you're already 4 times wrong...

Its not like this forum is very used anyway, so thats why i havent created a new topic,is there a difference wether you answer me here or on some other topic? if you dont wanna answer me thats fine. cya

[manutoo]

There are a few thousand topics on this forum, so it's really better to get every question/comment in a topic named in relation to that question/comment.
That gives a chance to newcomers to look for their questions & find their answers without the need to write then wait for someone to answer.
And that also gives me the possibility to answer by linking to the correct topic when someone asks a question that has been already asked.

This topic has already been seen 175 times by people likely wanting to know about the future of Tennis Elbow ; hijacking it would make them lose time reading unrelated stuff. (I'll clean it as soon as u'll have asked your questions in a new topic)

Manu Give the guy a break lol...seriously He created this topic in the first place (or you copied it from his post elsewhere but still) Anyways, for the "25 seconds in the menu" thing - bad idea, tournament players might need to go to the loo or something and most of the Top guys are fair...and I don't know anyone who can go to the loo and come back to play within 25 seconds Strangely enough, I've been joining many random guys on Internet Games lately and none of them were unfair, and they all played until the end Keep the fair play up, dudes

Hey Manu, what are the big updates you're planning to add? Are they planned for the AO QF stage ? Anyways, I hope they will be reasonable for the good of all the online Tour players

[manutoo]

There's already the 75-second max in menu ; on the other hand, the pause is unlimited, but it can be canceled at any time by both players, by pressing the Pause or F12 key.

Stajus,
As usually, I'll do my best to release the new version at the worst time possible...
Actually, I'm aiming for the Thursday before the start of the AO. This time I'm starting early enough, so except if I get caught by something else, it should go smoothly...

And it won't have any gameplay change, except :
- maybe less precision when hitting an acceleration on a low sliced ball (need to do some tests 1st)
- CPU will be a bit slower to catch drop shots, so it'll be a bit easier to do some drop shot winners when standing on the baseline (that should have very low impact in the online doubles, if any)
