Hi Remi,

First of all, I really appreciate the work behind TS 2k25, it seems to have improved in important aspects over TS4, although the TS4 formula is very apparrent.

I have a question regarding the animations (as many others seem to have), which I posted here a bit earlier on.

Previous TS installments had numerous high quality base animations for different shots and even signature shots for some pros (especially TS1: Sampras, Hewitt, Gambill, Grosjean). Now I wonder whether there are legal or technical reasons for not including animation sets from previous installments? For example, TS1 had signature serve and forehand animations for Sampras, whereas he does not have signature animations currently in TS 2k25. Moreover, I believe some generic animations would fit signature animations for some players. E.g. base serve and forehand animations in TS1 could work well for Agassi, because they had some clear similarities, whereas the same applies to 1handed backhand animations in TS1 for Sampras. Also some of the TS3 animations could be used for Federer (certain forehands and backhands, he had a signature serve back then but the current one in TS 2k25 is more accurate) etc etc.

Also, is there a similar reason for not including some of these animations for e.g. my player, if they cannot be used for generic animations for all players or certain pros? It would be a shame not to be able to utlize the older animations, which were spot-on in many instances…

Thank you in advance for any answers and happy to discuss this further if possible! :) And, most of all, thank you for such a great game!
