Critic reviews for tennis world tour, game informer.

Finding enjoyment is hard when even a long, dramatic rally ends in a true unforced error committed by the gameplay

Areajugones

Tennis World Tour has been quite ambitious, but the game feels unfinished. The gameplay is clumpsy, its graphics are terrible and the physics are awful. This tennis game aimed high but it failed.

Review in Spanish | Read full review

Tennis World Tour is simply a game not yet ready to go out on the market and it still really has too many gaps, flaws and uncertainties.

Review in Italian | Read full review

Despite being very improvable in all its aspects, Tennis World Tour is today the best realistic actual tennis game today. That doesn't mean that is better than Top Spin 4 (2011).

COGconnected

A well-done mode doesn't make up for the rest of the shoddy work. Couple everything with what may be the absolute worst commentating I've ever heard, and you can't even get too deep into your career mode before you want to smash the controller off of the wall.

Tennis World Tour is a mess of a game.

Critical Hit

Those hoping for an engaging, exciting Tennis game are bound to be disappointed. Tennis World Tennis World Tour is an unpolished, unfinished simulation that's impossible to recommend.

Claiming Top Spin's heritage probably put too much pressure on Breakpoint to begin with, even more so considering the studio's obvious resource limitations comparatively. Despite some wise compromises and interesting gameplay concepts, Tennis World Tour fails to develop, or even emulate its model's formula, due to an overall lack of expertise. A thorough imitation nevertheless, yet not sufficiently polished, deep, and authentic to fulfill realistic eSports ambitions.

In our review , we said the following: "TopSpin 2K25 delivers an on-court experience that’s every bit as smooth and snappy as it was two console generations ago, and it features licensed superstars and stadiums that now more closely resemble the real thing. It’s a shame, then, that some convoluted career progression systems and the inclusion of virtual currency hold TopSpin 2K25 back from being an outright winner."

TopSpin 2K25 - Análisis

Ventaja al resto.

Marcos Catalán

En 2011 2K Czech nos brindó el que es todavía uno de los mejores juegos de tenis a los que podemos jugar en nuestra consola, Top Spin 4, un título que llegó a Wii, Xbox 360 y PlayStation 3, siendo, eso sí, la versión de Wii la peor de todas, pese a contar con controles por movimiento. Ahora, con TopSpin 2K25 y una nueva compañía detrás , es hora de volver a reclamar el trono.

Como todo en esta vida es cíclico, desde hace ya algunos años parecemos estar asistiendo al renacer de este género de juegos deportivos, con propuestas más o menos interesantes como Matchpoint - Tennis Championships, AO Tennis o Tennis World Tour, que sin embargo no han acabado de entusiasmar al gran público.

Caso diferente es el de Mario Tennis Aces, que pese a lanzarse parco en contenido sí divertía y mucho desde el primer momento, claro que hablamos de la vertiente más arcade de la raqueta. Pero, con permiso de Virtua Tennis (también arcade), ya podemos relajarnos porque el rey ha subido a la red dispuesto a rematar la volea franca que le han dejado sus competidores, ¿lo logrará?

Nuevos tiempos para Top Spin

Los encargados de darle vida a esta nueva entrega han sido nada menos que los chicos de Hangar 13 , la desarrolladora californiana que nos trajo el decepcionante Mafia III pero también el más que digno remake del primer juego de la saga de gánsteres, Mafia: Definitive Edition , por lo que les dimos un voto de confianza, motivado en parte porque Rami Ercolari, director en la desarrolladora, también lo fue de Top Spin 4.

Hechas por tanto las presentaciones, es hora de colocarnos bien nuestra cinta para el sudor, dar unos golpecitos con el pie a nuestra raqueta para quitarle la tierra batida que se le haya podido quedar pegada en el peloteo, tomarnos un plátano y salir a la pista a darlo todo.

TopSpin 2K25 Images

Haciendo visible lo invisible

Desde que se anunció a primeros de este año, TopSpin 2K25 ha hecho hincapié siempre en su nuevo sistema jugable , el cual se basa básicamente en una barra que nos indicará cuándo es el mejor momento para soltar un raquetazo, pudiéndolo hacer muy pronto, pronto, bien, perfecto, tarde y demasiado tarde (y cuya visualización podemos desactivar). Es un sistema doble , ya que sirve tanto para los tiros más potentes y cargados, siendo nosotros los que imprimamos más o menos fuerza manteniendo pulsado el botón, como para otros rápidos activados con una breve pulsación, más difíciles de cuadrar.

Además, se ha incluido otro medidor, el del cansancio de los jugadores, que, según se vacíe, y lo hará si los rallies se alargan más de la cuenta o si corremos de izquierda a derecha como pollos sin cabeza, fomentará que cometamos fallos como mandar pelotas a la red y otros errores no forzados.

Si te gustaría ver una adaptación sobre Titanfall, esta película no lo es, pero se le acerca

Algo que suena muy bien sobre el papel pero que es casi lo mismo, o lo mismo, que ya había en Top Spin 4 , solo que ahora se ha hecho visible barras mediante, permitiéndonos, no lo negaremos, comprender mejor cuándo hacemos un buen drive y por qué a veces la bola, a la que le influyen lo apurados que lleguemos y lo cerca que tengamos la raqueta del cuerpo, no va exactamente donde pretendíamos.

tennis world tour ign

John McEnroe, MyPlayer y no mucho más

Una muy buena base jugable, ligerísimamente evolucionada de la vista hace más de una década, que sin embargo no se ha visto sustentada por algo tan esencial en un título de estas características como son los modos de juego , y es que la evolución en los juegos deportivos lleva tiempo estancada y añadir modos suele ser la solución encontrada por las compañías para justificar las nuevas adquisiciones.

No es el caso, pues TopSpin 2K25 tiene muchos menos de éstos que su predecesor o que cualquier competidor moderno y ni siquiera podemos organizar nuestros propios torneos o hacer casi nada offline más allá de echar partidos de exhibición; eso sí, solos o con amigos, pues su multijugador sí se mantiene. El resto, puro 2K , o sea, que estamos casi obligados a estar conectados si no queremos tener poco más que un pisapapeles con forma de raqueta.

Al menos sus modos principales, Top Spin Academy, con McEnroe no perdiendo los papeles y explicándonos los pormenores del sistema de control y cómo sacar el máximo provecho al posicionamiento en pista o al estilo de juego, y MyPlayer, son entretenidos , aunque no demasiado largos.

tennis world tour ign

Crea tu jugador y sal a la pista

MyPlayer, donde creamos a nuestro jugador masculino o femenino con cientos de parámetros diferentes (incluso el tamaño de los agujeros de la nariz, la nuez o el vello corporal), es sin duda y como viene siendo habitual en los juegos deportivos de 2K, la estrella del título, aunque su brillo se ve empañado, como es marca de la casa, por los micropagos . Son mucho menos agresivos y “necesarios” (para subir experiencia, por ejemplo), que en NBA 2K24 , pero están ahí. Siempre están ahí.

Una vez creado nuestro jugador, es hora de hacerle debutar, lo que hará en torneos contra jugadores de tenis que deberían parecerse a sus homónimos reales pero que solo recuerdan vagamente a ellos y a otros deportistas inventados para la ocasión. Sabemos que se sumarán más en un futuro, pero por ahora el plantel sufre de ausencias importantísimas y se queda cojo lo mires como lo mires.

Y como es natural, cada vez que juguemos ganaremos experiencia y VC, la moneda del juego , que nos servirá para comprar cosméticos o potenciadores pero también para pagar a los entrenadores , a los que se les ha dado una vuelta y que ahora nos proponen lo que podríamos definir como objetivos a cumplir , casi logros, que van desde dar cinco reveses seguidos perfectos hasta ganar puntos en la red, etc. Pero, al jugar, también nos cansaremos y podremos lesionarnos , por lo que habrá que gestionar muy bien el calendario.

tennis world tour ign

En cuanto al resto de modos, 2K Tour y World Tour, están enfocados al modo en línea (MyCareer no pero exige estar conectados), jugando con tenistas licenciados o con nuestra creación en diferentes torneos respectivamente. Una insuficiente oferta donde lo que más duele es el maltrato al modo sin conexión.

Olor a tierra batida y a hierba, pero no mucho

Como seguro habéis visto ya por las imágenes o vídeos, TopSpin 2K25 no destaca especialmente en su apartado visual , y nos tememos que tampoco sonoro . En PlayStation 5 los raquetazos y algunos gemidos se oirán a través del altavoz del mando, pero poco más destacable. No hay comentaristas, solo un podcast insulso y anodino que se reproduce aquí y allá, y echamos en falta muchos más efectos de sonido, como los chirridos de las zapatillas, ¡al árbitro!, etcétera.

Y si bien visualmente el juego parece cumplir, es sin duda más por su resolución y tasa de frames (va a 60 sin caídas ) que por los pobres modelados . Top Spin 4, comparativamente y teniendo en cuenta que hay dos generaciones entre medias, era (y casi diríamos que es) mejor. Más movimiento del pelo y ropa y más realista, mejor iluminación… Y por favor que alguien arregle ese público sacado de una pesadilla del valle inquietante. Si jugamos en PlayStation 4 y Xbox One añadidle además cierta borrosidad al conjunto para acabar de rematar la faena.

tennis world tour ign

Una vuelta por tanto la de este TopSpin 2k25 que no ha sido todo lo elaborada que debía haber sido y que una saga con su renombre merecía. Hay aspectos que podrán solucionarse mediante actualizaciones, pero no sabemos hasta qué punto tienen pensado mejorar la oferta de modos (las invitaciones a amigos online están ya confirmadas para más adelante), y no deja de parecerse sospechosamente mucho al hasta ahora último juego de la franquicia, lanzado hace ya trece años y casi igual o incluso a veces mejor que el que nos ocupa en casi todo.

  • Jugablemente hay poco que objetar.
  • Muchas pistas.
  • Varios jugadores clásicos con su repertorio de movimientos.
  • Offline sirve para partidos de exhibición y practicar, punto.
  • Parco en modos de juego también online.
  • Jugablemente ha evolucionado poco (pero sigue siendo bueno.
  • Visualmente es de hace dos generaciones (sin exagerar).

El veredicto

TopSpin 2K25 tenía que haber sido mucho más y no una actualización visual mínima de la cuarta parte que además y como no podía ser de otra forma con la 2K actual, basa su propuesta en el online y en ganar monedas para comprar cosas que no necesitamos.

LPGA Tour: Hannah Green wins JM Eagle LA Championship for second straight year

Hannah Green became the first person to defend her title on the LPGA Tour in 2024 with her win at the JM Eagle LA Championship; watch the LPGA Tour, PGA Tour, DP World Tour and all of the majors in 2024 exclusively live on Sky Sports

Monday 29 April 2024 06:24, UK

Hannah Green holds up the championship trophy after winning the LPGA's JM Eagle LA Championship golf tournament

Hannah Green won the LPGA Tour's JM Eagle LA Championship for the second straight year on Sunday, holing out twice from off the greens in a pivotal back-nine stretch at the challenging Wilshire Country Club.

A year after making a 25-foot birdie on the final hole of regulation and winning on the second hole of a playoff, Green, with help from Maja Stark, took the late drama out of this one for her fifth LPGA Tour victory and second of the year.

"It wasn't as a eventful as the last couple days. I was nervous," Green said. "And I've never been able to win having a lead into the last hole like that, so it is nice to be able to get it done earlier in the round."

Green closed with a five-under 66 to beat Stark by three strokes. The 27-year-old Australian, also the winner early last month in Singapore, finished at 12-under 272.

"It's really kind to me," Green said about the course. "I felt like a couple times today almost got like a member bounce. I, obviously, really am fond of the golf club and joked that they didn't approve it with me that they were making alterations. I love it here."

Green began the key run with a chip-in birdie on the par-3 12th and made a six-foot birdie putt on the par-five 13th.

Then, after Stark bogeyed the par-four 16th two groups ahead, Green ran in a 25-footer for eagle from the fringe on 15 to open a four-stroke lead, and made it five under in five holes with a birdie on 16.

"When I chipped in on 12 I kind of felt like I really snagged one there," Green said. "I really like the 13th hole and also played the 15th really well. When I made eagle on 15 that kind of sealed the deal.

"I did see Maja got it to nine under so I know what I needed to do. Usually, I make it really tricky on myself and only win by a shot."

Stark finished with a 68, rebounding from the bogey on 16 to birdie the final two holes. The 24-year-old Swede also finished second last week outside Houston in The Chevron Championship, two strokes behind top-ranked Nelly Korda in the first major of the year.

"I'm really proud of the way I've played," Stark said. "I feel like I've hit a lot of good shots and I feel like my nerves kind of took over for a little while, but I was always able to get back to the normal - my normal state of mind."

Haeran Ryu (69) was third at six under, followed by fellow South Korean players Jin Young Ko (67) and Jin Hee Im (72) at five under.

Grace Kim, four strokes ahead entering weekend after opening rounds of 64 and 66 and tied with Green for the lead after a third-round 76, finished with a 77 to tie for 25th at one under. She failed to make a birdie the final two days.

Korda withdrew from the Los Angeles event Monday, a day after her record-tying fifth straight victory.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

TopSpin 2K25 - Recensione

La vecchia generazione non molla..

TopSpin 2K25 - La recensione

Il 2011 è una di quelle annate che gli appassionati di tennis ricordano bene, una stagione nel segno di Novak Djokovic capace di conquistare ben tre Slam e un record di 41 partite vinte consecutivamente. Il 2011 è un anno speciale anche per chi il tennis lo seguiva e giocava sugli schermi virtuali: è l'ultima stagione della coppia Virtua Tennis - Top Spin . Il primo risulta tuttora missing in action; il secondo è tornato in azione quest'anno dopo un'assenza prolungata di ben 13 anni. Due serie completamente diverse tra loro che hanno rappresentato per più di un decennio lo Yin e lo Yang del tennis videoludico.

Per riportare in vita la leggendaria serie Top Spin , 2K si è affidata – fra lo stupore generale – al team Hangar 13, lo studio che ha realizzato il terzo episodio della serie Mafia . Nonostante le iniziali perplessità, il team di Novato ha fatto un buon lavoro (sembrano avere più talento per lo sport, che per gli open world...) per proporre agli appassionati di Sinner, Alcaraz e soci un tennis simulativo e realistico.

Un'esperienza che si discosta anni luci da quelle sperimentate in serie "problematiche" come Tennis World Tour , "limitate" come AO Tennis o ad "ampio respiro" come Tennis Elbow . Se Matchpoint: Tennis Championship aveva fatto intravedere uno spiraglio di luce in un panorama a dir poco desolante, Tennis Manager aveva esaltato la parte manageriale di questo sport, l'ultimo arrivato, Tiebreak (il videogioco di tennis ufficiale di ATP e WTA disponibile per PC in accesso anticipato su Steam) è ancora troppo acerbo per poter essere giudicato. Morale della favola: a TopSpin 2K25 basta davvero poco per issarsi nuovamente in cima alla classifica.

"Non puoi dire sul serio!"

Hangar 13 si è affidata al mitico John McEnroe, "The Genius", per guidare il giocatore in questa nobile disciplina. Un giretto all'Academy (il tutorial è in italiano) per un bel ripassino sui fondamentali: inutile dirlo ma le lezioni di SuperMac sono davvero cosa buona e giusta. Hangar 13 è andata sul sicuro riproponendo in versione migliorata il sistema di controllo di Top Spin 4 e il buon John, nell'accademia, non fa altro che ricordarci su quanto sia importante trovare il giusto timing quando si colpisce la palla : il tempismo è tutto in TopSpin 2K25 . Imparare a bloccare l'indicatore nella zona verde è la chiave per trovare il giusto impatto e piazzare la pallina dove si vuole; la potenza, invece, dipende dalla pressione esercitata sul pulsante selezionato per il colpo scelto. Il timing è poi legato a parametri che vanno dalla posizione del tennista (la mano in primis) al peso del corpo e alla velocità della sfera.

tennis world tour ign

Ci vuole un po' di allenamento per dipingere i campi con traiettorie come quelle di "Re" Roger o del sopracitato SuperMac: affidarsi al puro istinto (e schiacciare qualsiasi cosa) in stile Virtua Tennis non porta mai alla vittoria, soprattutto quando si affronta la CPU ai livelli più alti . Se nella serie di SEGA i riflessi hanno sempre giocato un ruolo essenziale nell'esecuzione dei colpi, nella simulazione di Hangar 13 la componente tattica riveste un ruolo fondamentale nello svolgimento dei match così come la resistenza del proprio avversario (nel forzare gli errori). È possibile attaccarsi alla rete come facevano ai bei tempi lo stesso McEnroe, Edberg, Sampras e Rafter, ribattere qualsiasi cosa come faceva Agassi o aprire il gioco con dritto mancino alla Nadal.

Basta davvero poco per essere sorpresi in contropiede o per essere presi a pallettate dall'IA: il caricamento del colpo è fondamentale e così il posizionamento del proprio giocatore quando va a impattare la palla. Rispondere ai colpi potenti fa consumare energia e aumentare la percentuale degli errori durante gli scambi. Rispetto al vecchio Top Spin 4 ci vuole poco per vedere il proprio rovescio finire fuori dal campo o una voleé in rete.

Una prima robusta

Anche in battuta TopSpin 2K25 non delude: Hangar 13 propone modalità differenti in grado di accontentare i fan di "Pietrino" Sampras e soci. Si picchia che è un piacere: con lo stick analogico sinistro si mira e si sceglie l'effetto da dare (piatto, kick, slice). È possibile servire utilizzando anche lo stick analogico destro: è molto più complicato (ci vuole pazienza) ma regala qualche ace in più e prime più robuste. Il realismo durante gli scambi è sorprendente ed è stupendo vedere la CPU commettere un doppio fallo su una palla break, o un amico innervosirsi dopo aver chiuso uno scambio serrato con un dritto fuori misura .

tennis world tour ign

L'IA, poi, si rivela particolarmente dotata e capace di creare più di un grattacapo al giocatore. Ai livelli più bassi si batte facilmente, salendo la sfida si fa più ardua e si cominciano a perdere partite su partite. Come nella realtà c'è un'unica soluzione: allenarsi e studiare qualche variante tattica. Certo, Hangar 13 avrebbe potuto tarare meglio la bravura della CPU: essere massacrati dal più scarso del roster non è mai bello. Per quanto concerne la fisica di gioco, rimbalzi ed effetti della pallina non cambiano molto tra erba, terra rossa e cemento: un aspetto da migliorare per il futuro.

Top Spin 4.5

Se TopSpin 2K25 regala agli amanti del tennis un realismo simulativo che non si vedeva da una decina d'anni, la stessa cosa non si può dire del comparto grafico: i modelli poligonali dei tennisti sembrano di qualche generazione fa (quella di Top Spin 4 ). Basta dare un'occhiata a Federer o a Sampras (sembra il fratello imbolsito) per rendersi conto che la next-gen è ancora lontana. Tecnicamente Hangar 13 ha un bel po' di lavoro da fare, ed è un peccato, perché i campi, stadi e tutto il contorno non sono affatto male. Le animazioni sono discrete anche se in qualche occasione palesano qualche problemuccio di legnosità nel contatto tra palla e racchetta o nelle scivolate sui campi.

La maggior parte del roster, purtroppo, ha poco da spartire con le controparti reali (bocche, visi e capelli sconcertano non poco). I campioni a disposizione all'inizio sono 25: sul fronte azzurro pesa l'assenza di Sinner (ma c'è Berrettini). Mancano anche due totem come Djokovic e Nadal, oltre a Tsitsipas, Rune e Zverev in campo maschile. Un po' più interessante il parterre femminile con Swiatek, Gauff, Wozniacki, Swiatek e Pliskova. Per le leggende troviamo la coppia André Agassi-Steffi Graf, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Pete Sampras e il sopracitato John McEnroe. Se il roster lascia un po' di amarezza, sul fronte licenze tornei non c'è proprio da lamentarsi: tutti gli Slam e i Master 1000 sono presenti .

Gestire lo sforzo

TopSpin 2K25 dà il meglio nella modalità Carriera: dopo aver creato il proprio giocatore (MyPlayer) si affrontano allenamenti, tornei, eventi e obiettivi da completare su base mensile. Il giocatore si trova a programmare i propri appuntamenti e a distribuire i propri sforzi nell'arco della stagione: la stanchezza (viaggiare consuma energia) è dietro l'angolo, così come gli infortuni e la possibilità di giocarsi uno Slam e di scendere in classifica.

Lo sviluppo del proprio tennista avviene in stile GdR con punti da distribuire, case da acquistare (per limitare gli spostamenti) e allenatori per migliorare il proprio stile . Trattandosi di una produzione firmata 2K non mancano le microtransazioni che hanno messo a dura prova l'ecosistema online della serie NBA 2K negli ultimi anni: nel Pro Shop ci sono VC per rinnovare il guardaroba del proprio giocatore (i brand sono oltre una ventina), ma anche per sbloccare bonus XP per accelerarne lo sviluppo. Come sempre la valuta virtuale può essere ottenuta giocando oppure mettendo mano al portafoglio: rispetto a NBA 2K2 3 la spinta alla monetizzazione è più contenuta. Il pass stagionale, il Centre Court Pass, per esempio, propone ricompense disponibili gratuite e a pagamento: la Stagione 1 è dedicata al Roland Garros.

Nel single-player di TopSpin 2K25 non mancano le partite d'esibizione (anche in doppio): si sente la mancanza di qualche modalità speciale (i Mamba Moments in NBA 2K24 per esempio). L'online propone un tour mondiale, match singoli da affrontare con MyPlayer o giocatori reali (il doppio arriverà più avanti) e incontri classificati con professionisti. Su PS5 TopSpin 2K25 gira con un frame-rate stabile nelle partite in singolo, mentre si registra qualche calo in quelle in doppio. Il comparto sonoro è di buon livello e il DualSense regala alcune chicche imperdibili come le urla del pubblico e il suono delle corde della racchetta.

TopSpin 2K25 è sostanzialmente una versione migliorata di Top Spin 4: Hangar 13 non ha voluto rischiare ed è andata sul sicuro. Anche a distanza di un decennio il gameplay della serie è nettamente il migliore sul mercato: con un impianto grafico current-gen e un paio di modalità in più ci saremmo trovati davanti a un piccolo gioiello. Così, solo a un buon titolo.
