I've played a bit and as a launch spec, this feels the most solid a Big Ant game has done in a very long while, so credit where its due there.
I think i'll need to take a lot of time figuring out mechanics as it plays and feels a lot different to anything i've played. My main gripe is the AI on medium are so hard to play yet on easy you can win points off one return, the skill gap is huge there.
Not looked into anything more than the tutorials and play now, but I expected (maybe naïvely) to see a few more venues? Especially the likes of Eastbourne, Queens and others in England. But I guess the academy in time will cover that, same with players (as its disappointing to see if you select Wimbledon, there isn't a default whites selection)
If this is what early access does with titles I think it should be the way Big Ant goes from now on, as I feel with time and the content updates the studio provides this can surely go one way from here.
I think early access has done this game world of good and will for rugby as well. People just need to remember it’s exactly that when playing it
