Load times are excruciatingly frequent and long.

This could be a great tennis game. I couldn't play it long enough to find out. It could have a great career mode with perfect tennis mechanics, but I will never know. The career mode and character creation are very extensive. This much I know. I began with career mode where I made my new pro-player and began training learning basic skills with drills that lasted anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes; however, I lost patience when there was at least a 20 second load time between every practice session. This doesn't seem very long but when you need 20 or 30 practice sessions before you can play a tournament. I spent half my play time on the loading screen. They must have realized this was a problem because the included a interactive map of all the tournament venues where you can scan the globe and read about them. This, however, is the only loading screen and I quickly read through all of them in my first 20 minutes of play time. Don't play this game.
