I can't wait to play this too!

They should add a feature like playing with tennis legends. I would love to play Roger Federer vs. John McEnroe or Maria Sharapova vs. Steffi Graf.

i just took a look at the video...graphics look pretty good, but every stroke from the baseline seems like its either a half volley or a volley...at least it looks that way. so that would be wayy off

and from another tennis player to another.... the majority of shots you hit from the baseline are ground strokes - at least in TopSpin 1. If they changed this drastically in v2, well damn, that would suck. I will let you know how it goes on Sunday.

cool you play in college, I only played in HS - and that was a longgg time ago - and now only play occasionally, just for fun. I used to watch the college ppl play and was always amazed at how good they were. Dunno if you play like THAT, but if you do, well damn.

maybe it was just in the video that I downloaded...they made it seem that every shot from the baseline was a half volley, cuz they picked up the ball so quick.

Yeah, college tennis is fun. Except that tomorrow I have to get up at 7 for a 3 1/2 hour road trip to Southern Maine...should be fun lol.

so I played some last Sunday. you can hit from way behind the baseline if you want, and those are definitely ground strokes.. see my full review over here.

Frys has it for 39.99.....pretty good price for the 360...

If the store at the mall has it for that, then I use my 13buck credit and buy it.

So, I bought it today. Since its only 39 bucks and I had a 13 dollar credit I got for about 30...

Its very much like the first game...which is good and bad.

I do like it...and I wish I didnt have to shoot tonight so I could keep playing it.

I will now most likely join up on Live to play this...
