Tennis World Tour (PS4)

Product Information

Some of the graphics look more impressive, and they have improved the player roster as well. However, the game is a little sluggish and does not feel as realistic as AO Tennis. Dream Match Tennis VR is the perfect option for players who want to feel like they are actually playing the sport. It is a virtual reality PlayStation 4 game that requires the necessary equipment to get a feel. Having a first-person perspective can be very entertaining, and it works well.

There is just too much to like about AO Tennis 2, which is why it is the best overall game for the PlayStation 4. While it is a simulation game, there are different levels so that people are never overwhelmed. If the first three games focus on realism, Super Tennis Blast is a very simplistic game that will feel a bit more like an arcade-like game. There are many real types of strokes, but they just might not be looking the best on-screen. When Big Ant Studios first released AO Tennis, many people thought it instantly became the best video game on the PlayStation 4. It was definitely a great option in its own right, and might even technically be #2 if it were included on this list.

Not only is the game inexpensive, but it can be very addicting since the gameplay is fast overall. Tennis matches can sometimes take a long time when it is too much like a simulation, which is frustrating for gamers who might not be fully immersed. Compete in exhibition matches at spectacular venues around the globe. Each court has its own characteristics; study your arenas of play and adapt your game to grass, clay and hard courts. It looks like real-world tennis, too – at times. A vast roster of new animations means that you can read your opponents much better, but the system still isn’t perfect. There are occasions where the ball will come off your racquet at a strange angle, as the game attempts to blend the stance of your player with the direction you’re trying to return the ball. It’s rare, to be fair, and it’d be unreasonable to expect perfection when even juggernauts like NBA 2K and FIFA have occasionally inaccurate physics, but it’s something that will need further refinement should there be any future instalments. We think its better than its sequel, which scored just a paltry 4/10 from us thanks to its timing-based shot system, which really missed the mark. The ability to paint the lines so effortlessly is also detrimental to Matchpoint’s career mode, since it makes the progression system seem almost entirely unnecessary. While my created player began with modest levels of shot power and spin, his accuracy was laser-guided from the outset. That meant that from day one on the tour I was hitting about 50 clear winners for every one that landed wide. The size of the aiming reticle and your unerring ability to hit it remains consistent throughout, and even with the difficulty dialed up to the highest setting I stormed my way to seven consecutive tournament victories and was world number one within the first few months of my career; this despite having completed just one of the stat-boosting training mini-games along the way.

We’ve all heard of Everybody’s Golf, but tennis? Everybody’s Tennis, or Hot Shots Tennis as its known in North America, is a re-release of the PS2 classic that became available on PS4 in 2016. It’s never had quite the same following as its golfing counterpart, but it aims to bring the same level of fun and accessibility to tennis. Think of this game more for casual tennis fans instead of those really into the sport. More intense tennis fans will want a little more licensing and realism to the game, but those who want to battle it out as a fast-paced alternative will be very happy with Super Tennis Blast. Released in 2018, AO International Tennis wasn’t particularly well-received. In fact, at launch, it was pretty much deemed unfinished – and while developed Big Ant Studios eventually fixed most of its glaring issues through patches, it never quite recovered from its initial reception. To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.com/bc for more details. If you want the joy of hitting that fuzzy yellow ball without the hassle of going to visit an actual tennis court, look no further. We’ve rounded up a list of the best games to capture the sport of tennis on PS4 in all its glory. We’ve tried to weed out the not-so-good games, leaving only the best.

It’s a rally system that’s certainly reliable and offers you plenty of freedom, but it’s also one that’s a bit too easy to master since it’s all reward and very little risk. The window for timing your shots is exceedingly generous, and you’re not really penalized in any way for overcooking a shot or serve. There are probably computerized ball machines that have made more unforced errors than I have in my 20 or so hours played – you almost have to go out of your way to actually hit the ball outside of the lines, and can pull off crosscourt shots at impossible angles without batting an eyelid. So yes, Matchpoint successfully makes me feel like some sort of hard-tuned tennis terminator… But when you’re confident you can nail a passing shot from almost anywhere it results in rallies that have about as much tension as a tennis racquet strung with spaghetti. Ball Too Easy The developers did not spend much time on getting the design just right, but everything else plays as it should. The career mode is pretty bare-bones, but can capture the attention of people who want to rise up in the ranks. It takes a little bit of time to get to the top, but it is interesting to face off against created and real players. There is an online community that is pretty challenging as well, and to this day, the best competition is found there.
