We will see if you would be best.
Tennis masters series 2003 is normal tennis arcade-simulation game. You have choice from 66 tennis players (they are completely fiction- they are not real)+one tennis player who can you create.
Mods: Exhibition (for beginners, or if you want play with your friends on one PC), Season-you choice one tennis player from 66, and with him you will play all the season. Carrier- it is easy, you create your own player, and how you will win some matches in tournaments, you will improve him.
Improving: Improve your player when one tournament finishes, your „improve“ points add to few attributes (forehand, backhand, volley, speed, stamina, serve, strength).
Player can use four type of services or shots:
Shots: top spin- normal shot with high ball jump, slice-slice, very slow, and quickly go to the court (great when you want to go to the net), lob-classics very very high ball, when opponent is on the net, flat- probably the best shot, usually on base line.
Service: top spin- junk, slice: has very spin, but it is very slow, and it is better against human than computer, lob: the second in speed with very high jump, flat- fastest, and probably the best, can be faster than 140 mp/h. The types of surfaces: They are four types (clay, carpet, hard, and grass)
Clay: three times (3.-6. tournament), the slowest surface with the highest ball-jump. It´s best for baseline players.
Hard: The fastest, every tournament has other ball-jump, but usually it´s very small.
Carpet: similar clay
Grass- on one tournament- Miami. The best for net-rusher players.
The last important thing is types of tennis players:
1.net rusher- good on hard, or grass, but isn´t good on clay. For every moment that he can goes to the net, he goes there.
2.Baseliner- great on clay, but not good as net rusher on grass, or faster surfaces. They aren´t very good on the net, but they have lot of stamina, good forehand, and they are the fastest.
3.Power hitler probably the best, coz he is very good in all of the surfaces.
Tennis is solid,but all together is not real. I must gratitude to system of carrier, which is great (unfortunately, you can have only 140 improve points.) The biggest „mistake“ is that this game is without licence of tennis players, only have licence on tournaments, but fortunately, they are lot (66 +one create). The music is still, but good, volume is great, and graphics is substandard now.
Quite good is game on the net, for example: the ball can make“nets“, or stop thankfully the net, is very easy, when opponent is on the net, lob him or with lots of strengh shot to him, and he under the pressure make a mistake. Baseline game is good, too. Good are some tricks, like play with racket behind your back, or side-jump, or jump-smash. Ingame cutscenes are great, and mistakes of referee too (unfortunately sometimes, you will be very anger, gratefully to referee). But the most important thing is to hold your service, and try to také out the opponent.
