There is a fundamental joylessness to each match that really permeates through the base experience of Tennis World Tour 2. You might aim to be number one, but what drives you outside of that? There isn’t much of a story here to enjoy and Tennis World Tour 2 sort of just expects you to keep playing with no real motive. Hiring a new coach or agent makes a minor difference to the experience, but mostly goes unnoticed. As well as this, there are standard matches, training, and small ways of temporarily upgrading your character. There are frequent tournaments that happen throughout the year that award you currency and experience. The single-player career aims to switch this up a bit but doesn’t offer enough to grip you in any fashion. This means your fresh-faced character is absolutely abysmal from the start – something that is usually rather satisfying, but not so much here. It has an overall stats system like most sports titles, placing pros around the 80s and little old you in the 20s. The stats system revolves around your player character and the single player career you make your character, change their playstyle and look, and are then placed into the world of Tennis World Tour 2. The game would’ve been much better suited to a system where cards earned were then unlocked permanently. Unfortunately, cards are so expensive in regard to the in-game currency, they rarely feel worth it. These get very specific to certain playstyles and fit a broader scheme too. The cards can be bought in packs with in-game currency, and award you with perks such as more power or using less stamina. It has an over-reliance on grindey stats and single-use cards.
#Tennis world tour update upgrade
You feel on the back foot for most of Tennis World Tour 2, both in its gameplay and upgrade systems. Too often my character was left wildly swinging in the proverbial dark hoping to catch a lucky break. This wouldn’t be a problem in a more arcadey title but the precise nature of swings here is betrayed by the hard-to-see ball. Oftentimes, the ball can be very hard to see. This is, unfortunately, made a bit difficult by the visuals and lighting. This system takes a while to get used to but is one of World Tour 2’s best traits. As the returns get quicker, you swing just to stay alive longer than your opponent. You can charge up before each swing for extra power but this is only worth doing at slower game speeds. Too late or too early will result in misplays that could cost you a point – or even the game. Opposed to the more arcadey styles, this has you tap the swing button at the right time to get successful hits. It has a challenging and rather interesting rhythm system to each swing.
Let’s start with some of Tennis World Tour 2’s good points.
