TENNIS AO Tennis

Not trying to take cheap shots but I remember DBC 17 coming out and the fielders never making a barrier with the leg, just letting the ball go between their legs: it was very quickly fixed but you do wonder how very very basic things get through to the final product. Fielding with the leg behind the hands is what six year olds learn on day one. Surely someone must have heard that intro to Nadal a hundred times in development and thought ; wait a mo that aint right.....

There are numerous things like that which look totally ridiculous, I still can't get over the celebrating of double faults;

Seriously did nobody at Big Ant see a double fault in testing and think this was stupid? Same as the constant "AO" screen at every single break in play, even between first and second serves... Feels like my monitor and eyes are going to get burn-in of that image just from watching videos...

The game was supposedly in development for 4-5 years and this is what they come up with? And people really thought a "day one" patch with maybe 4 more weeks of development time would make much difference? Or even 10-20 more weeks of development in further patches? Since DBC14, which was excellent and supported extremely well, I've totally lost confidence in Big Ant. They seriously need to stop releasing games in such a buggy and unfinished state. It's become a habit of theirs.
