I just d/l the PC demo of Top Spin. Does anyone know how to set the gamepad controls. I tried assigning buttons at the set up screen...but they don't work in the game. Shame too....game looks awesome!

controls works perfect, i had no problems to set up my gamepad (a saitek).
the game is good but its not near as good as tennis2k2 for the old DC (and later the ps2).
i cant wait for this though since it will have sweet modes.

Well that's what i originally thought when i first got it for the xbox, but believe me..when you get into the game in carrer mode and build up your stats it is definetely miles better than virtua tennis on the dreamcast.

I actually own the original and play it on live quite often Laughing

The only bad thing about the game is the difficulty setting. I find it EXTEMLY hard on players ranked 15 and above....

THat's a good thing. Games has become by far too easy lately, we need more games that can acutally offer a challenge!!

modes will prolly be better but the gameplay will not changed from the demo and its the gameplay i liked better in tennis2k2.
the whole movement of the character, the hitting of balls and so on.
but yeah the different modes will still make this a very good game and i will for sure grab it.

Looks gorgeous in 1600x1200

Played as Pete Sampras, won 4-3 in tiebreaker....

NOT BAD

In my opinion, it is a little to SIM-y for my taste, it's
like the "Madden" of Tennis games.

I still would rather see Sega make Tennis 2K5,
which was like the "Cyberball" of Tennis games.

In fact, I love the original (Virtua Tennis) so much i keep
the PC RIP of it on my computer at all times (it 's only 100MB
and still fun!)

virtua tennis though simpler is a lot more fun, especially when on 2 player mode. this game was alright but i wouldnt say its more fun than virtua tennis. i didnt see that much about the graphics tbh, and there are some little things i dont like about it. i.e when u hit the ball at a line judge they dont move. some things i dont like either how on virtua tennis u can hold the diorection away and run, now u gotta get in position and then power up or just run for it. its a bit frustrating adapting to it. and i do hope the ai does get better because i won a match usin Q and E.

ehy guys if u like top spin u should visit my personal site: www.sicilianboy.com

there are a lot of great games of me playing against all the elite players from the whole world on the xbox version of top spin!

also i am adding a working link to get the top spin demo:http://www.infogrames.de/productpage.php?productID=397#

ENJOY THIS WONDERFULL GAME!!!!

Sublime top spin is by far better then virtua tennis,i have played them both and there isnt any possible comparison! for example look at all the different kind of shots(at least 10!) u can perform on top spin,in virtua tennis u could do smash,lob and normal shot!

wrong, you could do 18 in virtua tennis and tennis2k2, 4x3 from the baseline and 2x3 at the net.
every shot in those two games have 3 different ways of doing them.
you can push forward on the thumbstick and you get a harder/longer shot.
dont move the tumb stick and you get a normal shot.
push back on the thumbstick and you get a shorter shot.
and this works for every shot including the serve.
this is the main thing im missing here and this would have made the game a hard contender to tennis2k2 Wink

I agree with Pallebrun

18 Shots with 2 buttons is way more fun & intuitive (i.e. "GAMEPLAY")

than 10 shots with 6 (!) buttons (i.e. unnecessary complexity)


I won't even d/l the full when it comes out.

UNINSTALLED!

dont be a kid man, discuss on a normal level please.
i know they are in top spin but you said they werent in tennis2k2 but they are, as i said, there are over 18 different shots (more if you count the serve) in tennis2k2.
what i also meant was, its much better to have 4 buttons with many shots on each button than having a shitload of buttons for every shot as top spin has.
its alot smoother to just push the shot button and then the tumbstick up/down/centered.
im sure the full game will show this games full potentional and it might turn out to be really good, but so far i prefear tennis2k2 Wink

and again im not talking about virtua tennis!
tennis2k2 is miles better than virtua tennis, virtua tennis is still good though but no where near as good as tennis2k2.
