For me the button issue overrides any improvements.The injury thing is not too clever either but i think by taking an medical time out late in the previous game you can get around it.It seems to come if you use the power button too much but then harder to win points if you don't use it.

I feel that more and more holes are being exposed as playtime grows. It’s still a good direction that the series is heading in, i just like my games to be complete when I put purchase them.
They’ve got 2 years now, so the next game should be fully polished and playable before launch.

Depends if they get this supposed new engine up and running and not to mention you'd imagine that's go to go in line with the next gen consoles. Not much point speculating on that though given that's a long way off yet.

I think it'll be interesting going forward to see which title BigBen sticks with. It's clear BA will continue with AO Tennis, but i doubt we will ever gets sales estimates, whereas Tennis World Tour sold quite well but left such a terrible taste with gamers. BigBen follows the money, so i wonder which series they will choose, or if they will do the every other year release with each series ( TWT 2019/AO 2 2020/TWT 2 2021/AO 3 2022) as we already know BA will do the bi yearly drops with AO.

A marriage of AO's detail, presentation and graphics with TWT's engine, gameplay and understanding of the sport.....we would have a winner.

I honestly don't see there being a sequel to Tennis World Tour.

I'd say Big Ant will carry on making more AO games with or without Bigben's backing though.

Most people are curious when we might see further patches, obviously we won't be getting the almost weekly patches that the first game saw at times. Probably more likely to be a month or more apart.

Well at present with the serve down the middle problem the game is unplayable because avoiding serving it there is so unrealistic.I know I could be 0-40 down and I could serve five consecutive aces and win the game.Ive tried this on numerous occasions so I know its possible.

Edit by Dutch: @imported_beatle ah sorry mate I accidentally edited your post instead of replying to it!

You made the statement that it is possible to play aces down the middle at will and my comment on that was...

This was the exact same problem with AO 1 and still is so that doesnt give all too much hope unfortunately. Its why I don't play AO 1 and why I havent bought AO 2

@zimrahil, you were right. I didn't come back to the game, after the first week. Haven't even played it after the update. Went back to Cricket 19.
To be fair, simulation styled sports gamers are rarely pick up and play, “fun games”. These games are generally geared to fans of the sport or hardcore simulation sports gamers and AO Tennis 2 is very much a simulation styled tennis game.

I think that could be why I keep going back to Cricket 19, playing it for 300+ hours. That's because I love the sport so much.

I have a patch on my Xbox one X. The version iOS 1.0.8. No chancelog. All the bugs are there : ace on T, injuries on career mode.
But the moves are better and more free, net game better and more unforced errors by IA on Veteran

Did you have Kvitoa, Fritz and Popyrin before this patch you mention, if not, then you've just got the one that came out a few weeks ago on consoles.

Based on what I've watched of your clips, it just looks like the same version we've got currently. I've noticed the generic players Big Ant added into the game, they seem to be the ones that make more unforced errors than the licensed or created players.

I just want the rate of injuries reduced. I get one almost every match, and they're playing havoc with my career. I know that fix is in the next patch.

I already have them before with patch version 1.0.6.
The update is only 180 Mb so it's very light
I've PS4 Pro/ Xbox one X and Switch version. The feeling on net is better and less freeze on clay because of hight ball rebounds.
