8 of 15I quit because of how hard it is
The game dynamics, graphics and controls are all perfect fit for me but ... It’s always all the day long keeps crashing. I can’t even complete just one game. Please solve this so I can play and sure can watch ads, no problem at all. Regards.
I thought this was an offline game, which it is, but I can’t even play it offline because it forces you to watch ad after ad. How greedy. Also, when I bought the no ads option, I got scammed because then to just showed a bunch of Sega ads that you couldn’t even skip.
I've loved tennis since childhood and play it regularly.
So good because the game is no longer supported so there’s no more ads!!
This game isn’t as fun as it use to be. Before this version the have here, it was the Dreamcast version which is more fun. There isn’t much to do in the tour but to play in the tournaments. Before you was able to purchase stuff like tennis rackets, outfits, etc. Now all you can do with the money you earn from tournaments and sponsors is to use it to enter other to tournaments to get your rank up.
If you pay for this this would be a good choice
I play this game on Xs Max and it's drop ton of fps in game, didn't happen with my samsung j7 at 2019
