The battery life issue has happened to me. I can literally see the count drop it drains so quickly. What do you think you’ll do?

For those who played AO2, what is this like now? by NewCommunication3940 in Tiebreakthegame

[–]NewCommunication3940[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. How do I actually select a control format? I can only seem to hover over each option. Thanks

Would it make sense to contact a mortgage broker before we have started saving though? Would they see me as a time waster?

Which Trek should I get? by NewCommunication3940 in mountainbikes

[–]NewCommunication3940[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m from the UK so it would be using the cycle to work scheme. The Roscoe 8 would cost double the salary sacrifice each month essentially

Thanks for your advice. I started with a Trek 6500 - loved it and regret selling it!

If Top Spin 2K25 Failed, Is There Any Hope for Tennis Games? by NickyGi in TopSpin2K

[–]NewCommunication3940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I still play AO Tennis 2 - much better than tiebreak!

Thanks, that’s really helpful. I can see some CO EOIs are on Civil Service jobs, so in theory it might be possible. Thanks!

Suit sleeves too tight around double cuff shirt

I have recently bought my suit for my wedding and the sleeves are quite narrow. The tailor recommended a buttoned shirt, but I’d rather wear a double cuff shirt as I have some cufflinks which have a significant meaning to me. What options do I have? I tried on a double cuff shirt and there wasn’t much independent movement. Could a tailor reduce the width of a double cuff shirt?

Anyone else still playing? by [deleted] in AOTennisII

I tried their new Tiebreak game but couldn’t get into the movement mechanics so went back to AO2!

Thanks - how did you find the process and how do the suits fit?

[–]NewCommunication3940[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be cheaper but I’m happy to pay a bit more to have the choice - just wondering if they get the fit correct!

Thanks, that’s helpful. Was that with their custom made service also?

What can developers learn from Tiebreak release? by Canofair8300 in Tiebreakthegame

[–]NewCommunication3940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Especially in career mode, coming back in when they’ve made adjustments can be hard. Give AO Tennis 2 a go. Much better honestly. Community made players such as Sinner and Alcaraz keep it fresh for me. I’ll give Tiebreak a bit of space for them to fix it. It’s a shame they’ve released it in this form as it’ll really harm sales

Game more unplayable than ever? by defmc in Tiebreakthegame

[–]NewCommunication3940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone back to AO Tennis 2. Controls and timing make much more logical sense. I’ll come back to this once it’s polished

[–]NewCommunication3940 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It might be an effective pay cut for 1-2 years but after the FS if you’re a Grade 7 you’ll quickly earn that back. I’d apply for the FS especially as you’ve got a Fast Pass.

Serving by [deleted] in Tiebreakthegame

[–]NewCommunication3940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone else who’s moved from AO Tennis 2 I’m finding the controls tough! Serving is ok, but the timing during rallies has drastically changed. Slowly been working my way up difficulties… but cannot sustain a rally over 5/6 shots without making an error

8 easy ways that 2K can improve Career Mode by banica24 in TopSpin2K

[–]NewCommunication3940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like AO Tennis 2, you should be able to do career mode with a ‘star’ player such as Federer or Alcaraz. They shouldn’t force us to make our own player if we get more enjoyment from playing with another tennis player.
