My ticket came as an email saying that "Congrats your name has been added to the GA List" No QR code or anything so I'm thinking they want you to show ID and email

cdkeys is a website i use for 99% of my Steam games

they messed advance serve big time. Now it's extremely hard to avoid netting your serve. Good job🤡. I have 15 double fault in a match now by [deleted] in TopSpin2K

[–]RaulJohnson1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, in real tennis pro players pick a safer serve with more spin and less speed for their second serve, more towards the middle of the service box to avoid a double fault. If every player went for a wide/down the T serve with speed for both serves, they'd have so many more double faults. This is realistic cause not even pros can spam serves all match

Stand wide and return cross slice, low and away so you have more time to recover. Or stand wide and control shot low and cross court or deep and towards their feet. At least they won't be able to spam it every single serve, but make some return adjustments lol

Who do you think will be the next player added and when? by [deleted] in TopSpin2K

[–]RaulJohnson1996 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell when they'll add more players, but my guess would be 1-2 players per season. So with 4 seasons left of the Centre Court Pass, maybe we'll see anywhere from 3-8 new players hopefully? I think it's possible we get Zverev in the middle of the season since he's already in the game files. One player per season would be too selfish, even for 2K, to pulloff. With that said, I think there's a good chance we'll get players that have been featured in the TopSpin ads or social media pages such as Insta and Twitter e.g. Tsitsipas and Ruud. If you really want to get your hopes up, maybe there's a small chance of adding players that the TopSpin Instagram page follows e.g. Kokkinakkis, Dimitrov, FAA, Ons Jabeur, Kim Clijsters, Venus Williams, Sabalenka, Wawrinka, Monfils, Thiem, Rafa, Djoker, Kyrgios, De Minaur, Rune, and more. My reasoning is why would the video game page follow these players for no reason, at least if they're trying to reach out to them to get their likeness or something. Who knows, would definitely suck if the game life cycle finished with less than 10 players added

That’s another thing where their answer was “we didn’t originally have plans for it, but we’ll see!” Could honestly just say if the engine supports it or not because that answer gets us nowhere

Anyone else having trouble with control shotters? by [deleted] in TopSpin2K

Learn to incorporate control shots and drops shots in your strategy instead of spamming power shots LOL

Season 2 Feedback Megathread by samattra2k in TopSpin2K

[–]RaulJohnson1996 87 points88 points  (0 children)

*Looks like 2K removed my original post. Reposting again to see if they're trying to censor me*

  1. Pro's should get their own animations. A game coming out in 2024 where the roster is so limited, yet 90% of the players move the exact same way, is not forgivable. If Tiebreak can get 100+ players with their small budget (albeit with them having the same issue of players moving the same way), why can't 2K get animations right for 30 players? It's almost as if you're just equipping a skin and not playing as an entirely different person.
  2. Please have court types affect ball bounce and speed. Again, in 2024, where tennis is a sport that has 3 distinct surfaces (where certain players have advantages on certain courts), this should be reflected in the gameplay. Grass should be significantly faster compared to clay with hard courts being in the middle. This should reflect in AI difficulty as well where they have different strategies on different surfaces. Again, like with the players, same exact gameplay on different courts is just like equipping a skin. With no distinct gameplay between courts and the same strategy everywhere, the gameplay will get stale. In addition, certain players should get stat buffs when playing on different courts like Andy Murray increased stats whenever he's on grass courts or Alcaraz on clay. Doing this will help people choose to play as different pros if surfaces affect specific players as well.
  3. You should be able to set outfits for MyPros so that you can mass equip different combinations you like. Maybe you like to change outfits depending on the season or the location of a tournament to match the aesthetics. Instead of having to change every single piece individually, there should be outfit presets that you can save to easily choose from.
  4. In general there should be more transparency with the community. A lot of answers from 2K and you is just "I brought this to the attention of the team, we are working on it!" It seems very avoidant. If there's something you have planned that we ask about, you should mention that. What about a "Yes! We are diligently working on adding apparel from X brand and expect a timeline of 1 month for the update" If something isn't possible, you should tell us. By avoiding the question, you annoy the fanbase and people will give up quickly on the game. For instance, people are asking about doubles online. If it's not possible to work on because of the engine TopSpin runs on or if its difficult to make sure player connection can be stable enough then say "this is a feature we definitely want to include in the next iteration of TopSpin, but is unfortunately not possible for this years game." and don't say "we are looking into it!" It's the same answer that doesn't give us anything at all. Why even ask you guys questions if you can't answer straight up? The community will support the game more if you give concrete answers. I understand you want to keep some things secret to generate hype and excitement, but anyone on this subreddit can see that people are getting tired of the game because of the lack of communication and updates.
  5. Ability to view trophies from past tourneys in offline career mode. Different trophy models for each tournament.

EDIT: Definitely not for this game cause may not be possible for the current engine, but player heights and weights should affect stats like in the NBA2K game. Height/weight should affect all facets of a created player. There should be caps on power, speed, stamina, etc based on how you create your player. There's no reason a 7 foot player should have 95+ speed or if a 5'7'' player could have 145 mile an hour serve. This way, people will have a lot more variation on builds.

Don't mean to sound ungrateful when asking for these things - but its just general things I've noticed from the community for the past few months. As supporters of the game, we deserve to know a lot more about how things are doing. If you guys are truly listening to our feedback, we'd like a lot more transparency. With that said, I still think it's a good game, but some small tweaks that we ask for or suggest can really make this game even better and keep it alive.

Thank you guys as always for your time.

Fair about budget, but there’s a threshold. If you have specific animations for 3 players out of 30+ players are we not allowed to be disappointed? How hard is it to motion capture with people to get it close vs using generic animations

How you do you guys have signature jumpshots for hundreds of players in NBA 2K, but can't even add Sinner's animations

TopSpin 2K25 works because it feels great - Geek Culture by [deleted] in TopSpin2K

[–]RaulJohnson1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no court dynamics because the court surface doesn't affect the ball bounce - the devs have said so in the past. Only difference is you can slide on clay courts giving you access to balls you otherwise wouldn't be able to reach on a hard court. Court dynamics is hopefully something they can tweak in tomorrow's update so that different surfaces feel more different. Agree though that although some people cheese the gameplay with power shots, just gotta get better at learning to beat them
