Ah sounds pretty alright :) I got Virtua Tennis 3, which looked brilliant, but the number of movements and shots was SO limited, with no online. It got boring quickly

I suppose this will be alright for those who like to play an arcadey style game of Tennis, but for realism, Top Spin wins hands down.

I have both Top Spin 3 and VT 3, and prefer Top Spin. Not just because it has online, just that I prefer realism. VT 3 is really fast paced, whereas Top Spin is more true-to-life.

Looking at the above, it seems Virtua Tennis 2009 won't be all that different, apart from some new animations.

I'm unsure if 2K Sports are planning on releasing another Top Spin, but I'd definitely opt for that if it were the case.

Tis a great point there. Until there is a sense of risk from shots, it won't have a degree of realism. Every shot is guaranteed to go in. And theres no differentiation between any different topspin shots. And lobs are near impossible to pull off

Lobs on what? Top Spin?

FYI, before I stopped playing it, I pretty much had them down to a tee.

EDIT: The thing with Top Spin is, if you're willing to give the game a few hours to get used to it, you'll get a lot back. If you want to just pick up the controller and hit a button when the ball comes to get it over the net and in play without effort, play VT.

I borrowed VT3 from a friend. I don't like it. The training mode is so unrealistic -> giant fruits, huge barrels, etc

I created a player on Top spin 3 and my first match was against the Nr.1 player in the ranking. I beated him without a problem and it was my first time i ever played top spin. I thought that was bad and they haven't put nadal in the game so i went back to the shop and get my money back for returning it. It's was a bad game!!

Sorry for my bad english!!
