Top Spin 4 Patch Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

I'm still in training but these controls are awful. You have to time your swings,time your aim and move at the same time. Since moving and aiming are on the same stick that makes it very difficult to time the aim. Then there's the serves. Don't get me started on the serves. Hopefully it's not quite the nusiance in the actual games.

Well it seems easy is just right. Might enjoy this one. They just kinda stand there on very easy.

Did you do the Top Spin Academy tutorial? It actually helps a lot with the timing and such.

Yes that's what I meant by training. Took me nearly 30 minutes on one of the serve things.

After 2-3 full games you'll feel comfortable with these controls.Hopefully, in Top Spin 5 we'll see an alternate control scheme as a second option where aiming will be done with the RS (pretty much like Rockstar's Table Tennis controls).

Well if you think that is hard, it is a lot tougher executing it on a real court...lol.

It takes some practice, but the controls are actually pretty good once you get the hang of it.

Does anyone get the feeling that it's harder to place wider shots? My baseline shots have all gone closer to the center...man I was relying on these to crush the others

New balance update my friend!This game becomes a classic masterpiece.

I think this is seriously sports game of the year. I guess you could debate that The Show is up there too, but I have never played it (xbox owner).

It really is quite lovely. Won't be needing another tennis game until next gen.
