Eh, a lot of people do actually, including me.

Anyway, I though Top Spin 2 was better than Virtua Tennis 3. It was more realistic, more tactical, and just a better all round simulation, to VT's arcadey sensibilities. It was flawed though (TS) and it's about time they took out those gimmicky EA-style 'risk shots'. Other than that, looking forward to this. COME ON TIM! :D

I agree Top Spin feels like a more real tennis simulation than "dive hard" VT.

Still I believe wii tennis is the best to date, it has an impressive sense of depth the other do not have.

And please, give me at least 64 Pros, we can't play the same players over and over.

Top Spin was s***e on the PS2 you could tell it was a crappy Xbox port.

The gameplay is frustrating to didn't help in conjunction with the poor technicality of the PS2 version I was mourning for VT.

So I'll wipe the slate clean.

Both TS2 and VT3 are crap compared to the original Top Spin on Xbox.

Take it from a guy who has played some tennis in the real life and watches some tennis on the telly, Top Spin has always been better gameplay wise. Virtua Tennis 3 is about as close to real tennis as Mario Tennis. There's not any of the subtleties that the real game has.

Those Top Spin 3 screenshots look proper. I am waiting for this one.

VT3 has all the subtleties. Learning them is part of the art.

Looking forward to this game.

Regarding the current games, I have played quite a bit of TopSpin1, TopSpin2 and Virtua Tennis 3 and all three have their flaws.

I guess if I had to pick it would have to be VT3 (despite the diving), if only because the other two completey degraded online into RiskShot hacking. Offline I believe TopSpin1 was the best, although TopSpin2 did add some nice new features.

Would love to see TopSpin3 take the best of all three and add new features.
