Key features presentation

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?

You are the manager, you choose!

What else?

By far the best of the series. 2022 is light years better than 2023 and 2024. Also, I have no idea why the devs release each year the same game again and again. Please wai four years at the very least to give you time to develop a proper game NEW version. All you do is dig your grave with lesser versions of your previous games. One year is not enough time to make a new game and even less playtest and debug it.
Strong points :
- Challenging yet possible to win tournaments
- Good development of characters with a max potential and longevity of carreer.
- Simple to learn
- Easy to play
Down sides (Most are superficial)
- Animation during matches should be more about where the ball is that anything else. Too many times the players hits the ball but their racket is too far.
- Less randomness in the background and more about what is happening in the court in matches. Sometimes, I get the feeling that some things are predetermined before the match starts. This should never happen. When you watch a match, it should be just like an A.I. vs A.I. game in a hockey or football video game.
That is about it. Buy this game instead of 2023 and 2024... and I bet 2025 will be even worse than 2024.
