TIEBREAK 1 Month of Updates - Is It GOOD NOW?

It's been a month since "full release" of Tiebreak. The game got a lot of small patches. So let's check out if Tiebreak is a good tennis video game right now!

Developers spent a month trying to fix difficulty, tweaking gameplay a bit and adding new content, but is it enough?

These graphics/animation with TE4 gameplay be magic.

Such a wasted opportunity...the gameplay needs a completely new engine from the ground up. Sign the TE4 guy up Big ant/Nacon!

[NijKnocker]

i agree for the most part. It was previously unplayable, it has definitely gotten better but some big issues still remain... the flow and the physics still seem the biggest problem. on the plus side, flat shots are actually able to get over the net, players can actually get top spin bounce shots and the movement has improved...overall, lots of work still to do to make it FEEL like a real tennis game, but at least it's playable now. (which is ridiculous to say for a game that cost me $100 CAD at launch)

Imagine these graphics with tennis elbow 4 physics

[TheLastFraudster]

It's beyond me how games like tennis elbow with a single developer can make a game so far ahead of a studio with a huge team and budget. How are the ball physics this bad? Only conclusion is they don't actually care about the game and just want to release a game that casuals can pick up and play and have an easy game.

Dude Big Ant should seriously just pay the developers of Tennis Elbow 4 or Full Ace Tennis Simulator to develop the game with their graphic engine...

[joaotoldi]

i don't know why, but i think the ball speed is better now then it was in terms os realism

[Stizzl]

I feel like the physics just feel... off. The ball has no tangible weight to it, generating pace on the ball looks somewhat unsatisfying. Mind you, I have yet to play the game, but I think TE4 looks better gameplaywise. This game looks like the physics need a lot of tweaking... but hey, I like that they are actively working on it, best of luck to them!

I play tennis games to have fun which I clearly can't do with this game right now. The movement choices shouldn't have used tennis world tour format but instead AO 2 format which doesn't have the sprint.
The difficulty levels for beginners like me are ridiculous... easy is still too damn easy...the CPU player just stands in one spot most of the time. But increasing the level up one, makes the CPU super human again hitting shots right in the corners every time or dropping the ball over the net with great precision and your player being unable to get to it in time.
I love the content in the game, career mode and tournaments etc. But I can't play any of it because the game is so damn broken.
I play for fun, not for serious simulation...and TopSpin is a huge letdown but Tiebreak is no better in it's current state.

[enricovaioli]

much much better!! it’s improving .. i hardly hope that they will continue

[loc]

It's still unplayable to me. ALL tennis games: STOP locking animation behind pay/playwalls. Clothes fine but you're purposely making your game worse so we have something to play for? Just make your gameplay fun it's not that hard. I personally LOVE TS5's gameplay. Other than missing the high accuracy/high power button, it's almost the same as TS4, which I played the stuffing out of....offline only. I refuse to touch online until someone gets the core gameplay correct bc players are always going to find something to abuse, especially in a sports game. If TS5 had the presentation & players of TB & TB had the tournaments & gameplay of TS5, we might have ourselves a decent game.

[mrnodaysofffredo]

I just wanna buy this game for the bigger roster than top spin I clearly understood that we will never have a good tennis game on or consoles simply but I’m really sick to play Sinner or Alcaraz on top spin 2k25

[ssh]

So disappointed in this game. I actually loved AO Tennis 2. It was far from perfect but, in my opinion, it still played well and it wasn't boring. Also the customization was really good. You could start a full tournament with 128 players, choose all your seeds and include any player you want in the tournament. You could then play any of the matches, sim matches or sim a match and then jump in the middle of it to continue. I figured Tiebreak will build on the AO2 model while adding improved game play with better graphics. Right now, the game play and the customization is nowhere close to the AO2.

[euphoreonz]

totally agree, been saying the same on discord. It's gone backwards. Plays okay with the women/weaker players. Starting to remind me more of TWT2 which is not a good thing. Gameplay is on rails, predictable and boring.

[charliedurie]

This game a month later just sucks. I’ve given up on it.

[Paul-Fredrick]

I don't get it AO2 has virtually no teleporting for online multiplayer matches so why TF can't they get teleporting right for Tiebreak it's the same developers Big Ant Studios.

Perfect analysis. It's obvious by now that these guys from big ant don't know how to make video games, they've been trying since 2018 with terrible results. Tiebrerak is too fast, unreal and with questionable movements. The more they update, the more damage they do. Also, since day one on ps4, there's lag in the game on night courts and they haven't been able to fix it.

[MarkDavidBlack]

I've already bought Top Spin but I don't mind buying this if it gets fixed. I like a good tennis game.

[DJBreslev]

You don't talk about signature shot animations

[kenschiavo]

man you have to tell the lousy developers this
