It’s odd EA sports didn’t make more tennis games compared to their other sports games. Just the two Grand Slam games?

I find tennis probably the most „stick in your behind“ sport I can think of, but I always loved tennis games. I love to play table tennis though. (Please don’t get offended lol)

Haha everyone is open to their own opinion.

It's one of the few sports I'd be interested in playing irl but gosh is it expensive. I'm not American so that might be a reason but here, Tennis is extremely overpriced and just not playable unless you're rich lmao

Do you not have any public courts around? In the states most high schools have tennis courts you can play for free at so as long as it’s not the dead of winter it’s free to play

I'm from a European country so unfortunately it's different for me, and as far as I'm aware I don't have any free courts available nearby but thank you for your feedback, I'll check it out nonetheless. Maybe my uni has a tennis court or something similar, though I think it's unlikely.

Yeah that’s a shame. I hope you can find one though, it’s a great sport especially considering you don’t need many players. As long as you’re mobile you can play it well into old age.

The quest 2 has a pretty good one and the cool thing is that the game runs for you, your work is in hitting it properly. So I can see that maybe coming one day. The table tennis game on the quest is insanely fun as well, I would love I’d that got ported.

Racket Fury immensely fun and so intuitive. I can see that working great for a Tennis game as well, even though the movement indeed is pretty challenging I assume.

Oh man 100% of current gen tennis games SUCK. They basically autoplay for you

A tennis PSVR2 game would be much appreciated. Better yet, a full Wii Sports type game with a couple different sports in vr

I just want a good tennis game with a huge roster and a deep career mode

If the Top Spin 5 rumour is true, then I think it's unlikely EA would bother getting back into tennis at the moment. But either would suit me.

After playing Dream Match Tennis on PSVR, it's difficult to get as excited about racket sports outside VR however. When you're physically moving your arms and torso to play rallies, it's quite a downgrade to sit back down with a controller in hand. I hope First Person Tennis comes to PSVR2, or something equally good.

Could be the new F2P snowboard game from the SSX creators

Never really watched tennis but god do I love the Top Spin series

u/TadTheTechMan08 Feb 05 '23

I’d like that

Forget tennis EA . JUST GIVE US FIGHT NIGHT BACK ON PLAYSTATION.

it is literally the best made sports franchise ever made. Even on Xbox 360, selecting different punches with the joysticks felt fantastic, and was ahead of its time.

Nobody likes the mma games. Honestly I would happily pay for a remake of round 3 or 4.
