Well I guess this is one game that I'll definitely be buying at launch with my 360. I still play this game offline to this day and I was ranked #56 in singles on Xbox Live but haven't played it online in months.
Hopefully they have seperate rankings online for risk matches and sim matches, and the ability to play with anyone in the world as a doubles partner will increase the longevity of this game. Hopefully for the sequel they elimnated or changed a few things.
1) Zero power serves (hopefully they got rid of the effectivness of this). You should be able to slam these back at mach 5 for winners.
2) Being able to risk return every 143mph serve hit at you, clearly this is something that needs to be changed, all the people online that are ranked decently can risk return at will.
3) Increase the power of the topspin shot and decrease the power of the risk shot.
4) Give the slice a better angle on the return of serve and during the point, the slice really got robbed in the game.
5) Take away the ability for a player to take risk shots out of the air at the service line, nobody would be able to defend themselves from the service line in a real match.
6) Don't listen to all the whiners who complain about a lack of being able to volley against risk shots, the plain truth is in real tennis serve and volley is dead and baseline players should dominate the game.
