TIEBREAK 1 Month of Updates - Is It GOOD NOW?

It's still unplayable to me. ALL tennis games: STOP locking animation behind pay/playwalls. Clothes fine but you're purposely making your game worse so we have something to play for? Just make your gameplay fun it's not that hard. I personally LOVE TS5's gameplay. Other than missing the high accuracy/high power button, it's almost the same as TS4, which I played the stuffing out of....offline only. I refuse to touch online until someone gets the core gameplay correct bc players are always going to find something to abuse, especially in a sports game. If TS5 had the presentation & players of TB & TB had the tournaments & gameplay of TS5, we might have ourselves a decent game.

i don't know why, but i think the ball speed is better now then it was in terms os realism

yes! this is crap...the cpu is too accurate...no errors...real tennis is no like this...and its just terrible. What is wrong with these people, wish I never bought this crap. TE4 has it all over this mess. I think its too hard and totally no feel to hitting the ball. Its like hitting a sandbag, not a tennis ball. They made serving on the human side go out sometimes, which is good, but the cpu still almost 100% s their first serve. Pathetic junk with no flow. Just frustration.

man you have to tell the lousy developers this

I've already bought Top Spin but I don't mind buying this if it gets fixed. I like a good tennis game.

Imagine these graphics with tennis elbow 4 physics

When I first heard of this game I thought it was cool that they had early access. Then I saw the developer….. oh great AO tennis guys. Two of the most boring tennis games I ever stupidly paid money for.

I haven’t played this game, nor will I and I get you need to ‘feel’ the game to review but a few key non-starters I can clearly see from your gameplay. Serve is just a rally starter. You have very little control of shot precision (line, mid line, middle, mid line, line left to right and the same up n down). You need to go to net most of the time coz unless you hit a very unrealistic flat winner you end up in endless rallies coz again it looks almost impossible to aim properly. And lastly…. I mean come on. Surely anyone who watches this gameplay…. Man does it look bad. Early access ey, gimme a break.

So sad that Full Ace and Tennis elbow (both made by ONE guy) will likely never be dethroned coz apparently it’s simply impossible to make a really good tennis game with a budget.

I feel like the physics just feel... off. The ball has no tangible weight to it, generating pace on the ball looks somewhat unsatisfying. Mind you, I have yet to play the game, but I think TE4 looks better gameplaywise. This game looks like the physics need a lot of tweaking... but hey, I like that they are actively working on it, best of luck to them!

I just wanna buy this game for the bigger roster than top spin I clearly understood that we will never have a good tennis game on or consoles simply but I’m really sick to play Sinner or Alcaraz on top spin 2k25

1st off cut this man a check! Great break down and review🫡. Big Ant should hire you as a consultant. Just saying 🤔Once again you covered everything that concerns me and more. Damn shame in 2024 soon to be 2025, NO gaming company can put out a well balanced and great graphics with physics to match. I Just don’t get it….

So disappointed in this game. I actually loved AO Tennis 2. It was far from perfect but, in my opinion, it still played well and it wasn't boring. Also the customization was really good. You could start a full tournament with 128 players, choose all your seeds and include any player you want in the tournament. You could then play any of the matches, sim matches or sim a match and then jump in the middle of it to continue. I figured Tiebreak will build on the AO2 model while adding improved game play with better graphics. Right now, the game play and the customization is nowhere close to the AO2.

This game has so many issues it’s not even funny.

This game a month later just sucks. I’ve given up on it.

347 / 5.000
Perfect analysis. It's obvious by now that these guys from big ant don't know how to make video games, they've been trying since 2018 with terrible results. Tiebrerak is too fast, unreal and with questionable movements. The more they update, the more damage they do. Also, since day one on ps4, there's lag in the game on night courts and they haven't been able to fix it.

much much better!! it’s improving .. i hardly hope that they will continue

It's incredible that they keep playing it, what a bad game.

Top Spin actually makes improvements after patches. 👏🏻

The problem with shitty tennis games is always the same: The devs don't know ANYTHING about how the sport works. They can't build a decent physics system for the ball and groundstrokes. In that area, Top Spin is way ahead (even with its own flaws). To make a tennis game you must understand tennis, which is the most complex sport in the world.

If they fix these things about gameplay tiebreak will worth playing

1. Perhaps the biggest problem to make this game look like a simulation and not an arcade is serving , serve is not any advantage in the game , i win a lot of more games when i receive the serve, serve must be big advantage especially if it is player like (hurkacz , shelton , fritz , zverev ...)
2. Second problem is when i serve my player immediately goes in front of service line , when other player return deep service my player literally returns the ball with some very strange animation , and thats advantage for receiver not server.
3. Playstlyes of players are the same , literaly nobody goes to the net, nobody make dropshots all player have same playstyle in real gameplay
4. When i edit player I can't put the cap upside down like the dimitrov , rune etc
5. Game crashes offline from no reason , it happened most times on match points , throw out the error and return me to the home page of the playstation
6. Try to add all players in top 30 like Musetti , Bublik, Baez etc
7. Ball in ralies is not natural is too fast , try to slow down the ball
8. All fields have same speed. Hard , Grass and Clay is not the same in real life. Clay is much slower.

This game have big potential , just keep working guys. Cheers all the best

Well guys if its big ant tou should see what theyve done with cricket games all bells and whistles and the gameplay is poor

This game is so bad and i am polite...Top Spin is not perfect but it's much better.

There has been a further update last night fixing the speed on hard and expert,players like Zverev and Taylor Fritz now topspin a lot more on return of serve and ralllies even slicing for serve returns,before they were hitting all flat shots going into the net. The cpu is not hitting missile serve returns all the time like before also. This is the first time i can honestly say that Tiebreak feels better than AO2. The latest update patch is 25th September.

I totally hear you and appreciate what you are doing...but I am definitely one of those "pretty graphics and good licenses" people. I guess I'll be getting this.

They should implement an A02 GAMEPLAY option to at least rescue the game, its been 9 months and they are still makng updates....

Dont use any of the Nacon TWT gameplay nuances, they dont work. Just et the Big Ant guys do it.

They could actually tweak the AO2 gameplay engine to make it better.....

Id say the gameplay is a 2/10 rating in its current state.

I really need help I'm stuck between TE4, TB and AO2. TE4 as sim and career, TB as graphic and official career, I don't know about AO2 but it's also on my list. Which one should I choose? chat gpt TE4 seems to recommend it!

I always try to explain to people that updates can't fix broken games especially sports games. If the foundation is bad, There is not much they can do aside from " decoration" and other non important stuff for the gameplay.

players run so fast lol

Still not that what it should be..

You are right. The most frustrating part of gameplay is that AI is still not able to deal with drop shots and short balls, even on Expert level. Its successful rate is literally 1-2 out of 10. So, when you play just drop shots a short balls you will easily win every match. These issues remain from the start of Early Access so I'm not sure whether they're capable to solve it. Imo this is the more complex problem of core game engine so therefore serve, return and playing drop shots/short balls can not be fixed.

You didn’t mention how bad serving is - the serves are way too easy to return for the players and AI -

why do you keep moving your player into a stupid position when returning serve?

The serve motion is 90% the same, but they should speed up the follow-through motion. This is probably the most similar tennis game ever.

You sound like Yuval Noah Harari 😊 Great vids, won't buy TB (yet).

I hate how on tiebreak you can change direction and be sprinting immediately like you’re a bionic man which is unrealistic and they don’t have a advanced serve, the game as a whole is way to unrealistic I have it but I don’t play it anymore and playing career mode sucks too

Movement animations are so damn bad

Nacon sucks, they spent money on ATP licenses but having a shitty gameplay

Hello bro are you there?
New update of tiebreak has arrived
Serves nerfed
New after point animation have been added
Please review post patch game analysis please
Waiting
Stay blessed

New update yesterday... Its better but not ready yet. Its better than the first time but its not sufficient. Ssorry my bd english.

Also its better the worlds tour controls than tie break controls xD... AO tennis still better than this. They ve to work hardly....

what's your opinion now after the recent updates? Considering buying it now because of the sale.

why can't we get a good tennis game? :\

Do not buy it game constantly crashes back to desk top in career mode i can't even start a career without it crashing.

For better gameplay, Top spin 2k25 or Tiebreak?

is better and better than top spin, gameplay, graphics, players faces and body. disappoint only for the grand slams loss

Its sad with all this technology they still can't make a descent tennis game, what's wrong with them , if you dont want to make a game then don't.

Damn, am looking for a fun tennis game. Am stating to think that only Mario Tennis is fun

So the game is not good because the AI is not good? Bruh im buying this game to play vs my friends, not vs AI

If u think this is worst, go play TopSpin. I rather have these beautiful graphics in front of me and playing broken game, than having ugly graphics and playing a broken game

I went back to AO2 because I was too fed up with Tiebreak. I can't see why the developers made Tie break instead of an improved AO. I don't need a huge roster of real players as I like to create my own.
