Stick Tennis

I’ve played this game off and on for a few years now. I’ve always really enjoyed it, it has smooth and simple gameplay, and you don’t need to pay to win. My only complaints are 1) lack of difficulty/competitiveness from the CPU, especially once you unlock better players in the slams (I get it, better player=better stats but I shouldn’t be 6-0ing everyone imo) and 2) no ability to change settings whatsoever. No difficulty sliders, no match length changes, etc. I remember it used to be the slams had the full best of 3 or 5 matches, I had some thrilling games back then. I understand it was a bit of a time sink, especially in those competitive games, but I figured a save system would be added mid game. Instead we have… one set matches and no ability to choose match length. Understandable, but still a disappointing solution. TLDR: excellent mobile tennis game that leaves a lot to be desired in adjustments that you’re allowed to make to your gameplay.

Unlike some other dreadful comments ive seen about this game.... 1) NO, its not “rigged”. 2) You dont “have to” spend money to win or be competitive. Now i would advise to buy a racquet. If $2.99 breaks your bank.... ok cool. Choose another app. 3) Its takes a little bit of time to learn the nuances of the game... by little time meaning, it took me a few hours before i was rolling and wish the game was more difficult. Fun game none the less. If i could add upgrades... id add somewhat of a semi full ATP, WTA tour type format as well. Give a choice to create your own player or choose from the top 150 world rankings. As a create player... youd have to qualify to nake tournaments until you reach a certain amount of wins or prize money.

The game is really fun, it takes a while to get used to the timing which controls when your shots actually go in, although I do wonder about the net courts which don't seem to follow this rule. I also just finished a match I won 6-0 and it said I had only converted 3/4 break opportunities which is obviously not correct or my opponent would have won a game. The daily matches are by far the most fun. I also find the men's serves really hard to get the timing of because they are so fast -- maybe too fast. As the opponents get harder it seems you lose more on technicalities,for instance let courts. I notice they rarely benefit me. Secondly, the better opponents can often put away a good serve down the T. I don't know of any pros who can claim that ability. Also, at times you will hit what you feel is a great shot and they will just put up it away like its nothing. This seems a bit unrealistic but overall I love the game. The problem with the stats is you are summing all games, not just the ones I was receiving. Please fix this as it has been wrong for a while, My only other lament is the fact that your games aren't saved. Downloaded and thought I’d play some more. It doesn’t save your games properly. It says it does but when you return it’s gone. Secondly purchase restoration seems to have some flaws. I recall I used to be able to play everyone in domination, but now i’m limited to a few.
