― NEW IN THIS RELEASE ―――
New Features:
- Training Club: can easily import players from the World Tour Base from Training Club 〉 Character Sheet.
- Training Club: can save an unlimited amount of players.
- Match: you can now define the number of games in the last set, as well as the number of points of the last set tie break (if any).
- Modding: add any 3D models to the Stadiums, and edit existing ads.
- Modding: can set the Time & Speed text positions for the 2D Court.
- Modding: can change the NPC textures.
Changes:
- Strike: the slice was lowering too much the difficulty of very difficult balls.
- Strike: cannot hit a too strong slice anymore when taking the ball very early after the bounce.
- Strike: it's now much harder to return a serve (or a smash) very early after the bounce.
- Animation: tuned the service #14 so the arms don't go in the body anymore (except for fat players).
Bug Fixes:
- Gameplay: when doing a slide or a stretch, the player could still jump at the net.
- Strike: the lob could lead to some crazy balls when hit on a too difficult ball.
- AI: the CPU was never doing the Sorry gesture and was doing too many Cheering fist & Raging pump gestures.
- Menus: sometimes the menus can totally fail and display "0" everywhere; it may be fixed now, but I'm not 100% sure.
- Controller (only on the Steam version): when unplugging & replugging your controller (or when playing with Steam Input on) the game could think a controller wasn't plugged in anymore, which was leading to an incorrect "no controller connected" label in the Settings 〉 Controls panel.
― GAMEPLAY ―――
Tennis Elbow is a series of tennis video games developed by France-based firm Mana Games. Its first version was released in 1996 and as of May 2015 it is currently on its 2013 version, available for Windows, Mac & Linux platforms.
The game is simulation oriented, and is often seen as being the one offering the most realistic tennis experience in term of rallies and tennis sensations.
The most noticeable particularity of its gameplay is that the users have to hold down the strike button till their player actually strikes the ball, unlike most other tennis games that require the users to release the strike button earlier.
After more than 2 years spent in Steam Greenlight, the 2013 version finally got released on Steam on March 13, 2015.
The game is regularly updated and as of July 2018 has seen 10 major updates for the 2013 edition.
The next edition will be called Tennis Elbow 4.
