NEW INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM
Immerse yourself in the real life of an academy manager with a new infrastructure system that brings even more realism to your various investment decisions. You want clay court specialists?

What else?

My first tennis manager game, I have played a lot of football manager and it is similar, you grow a created player/upcoming star or take on an established player, academy can be upgraded in sports,medical,youth & scouting and business, you have to keep an eye on your finances which is fun especially when your player starts to win grand slams and you get a percentage % of the winnings, grow your players and scout new ones, agents will get you sponsership deals for equipment and clothing
The game is very fun when you get used to the game mechanics, there are still some game breaking bugs however i imagine they will be patched out in due course

Fun manager game, my first Tennis manager game so I don't know how it compares to other games but I like this one.
Easy to get into, not too complicated but also not too simple. You can manage everything yourself or automate things as you like.
Some balancing issues in the beginning but patches have corrected most things so far.

Bought this on a lark after watching Zealand play it.
Listen...there's a lot here. It's rough around the edges but the sky is the limit. They don't have the resources of Sports Interactive, but I can see this franchise developing into a proper management sim. It's so close to prime time.
It's good for 50-60 hours before it gets "too easy." With some attention to detail and some quality of life changes (particularly to the UI when it comes to managing your stable and their training regimen/tourney schedule), this could be a really stellar game.
3.5 out of this many.
Props to the team.

I have been searching for a long time for a tennis manager based game and never had any luck, Tennis Elbow Manager 2 was too basic and very dull. I found this game and tested it out and it is everything I have been looking for to scratch that tennis managing itch. It's extremely deep in management, the casual player wouldn't enjoy it in my honest opinion. The game is very strategic, the coaching is a great touch, and creating your academy is the best thing about this game in my opinion, and I really like how the menus and the game is presented. The only complaint I have is that there's no doubles tournaments, which I like to have here. I am huge on stats, so the stat game is massive in this game and really keeps me pushing. Now this game isn't easy, you really need to think strategically, including when you train your players and manager your finances well.

Ok, so the game is very fun however there is one thing about the game that are incredibly frustrating to me. The player I coach is a big server, and is unbelivble against any player who isn't aggresive, I have an 10-0 record against djokovic, however anytime he plays a player who is also agressive like tsitsipas, he can't win, I get that game plans are important but it would be great if they were less important

Firstly I have a less than passing interest in Tennis and have a very basic grasp of the rules etc but i do love management sims. This game surprised me on how good the match engine is, arguably better than football manager. Goes into great depth too. I picked it up in the steam sale at £7 - easily worth anything up to £10, if tennis is your sport this game is a must

Strangely addicting. I found myself getting mad at my players when they under performed. It's a lot of fun building your academy.
