I would guess that there is a patch coming with it as well. Just a guess.

Not yet, Twistie has just posted news about it. I am assuming things will pick up heat closer to Christmas. Very excited

yeah should be fun, but they have competition there so they better release with minimum bugs

I do not think they have any competition in tennis. Last tennis game to come out was I guess in 2012 if I am not wrong. With or without competition, no developer intends to release a game with even minimum bugs. I understand no software is 100% bug free and there always will be bugs. Big Ant has done a brilliant work so far with 3 cricket games and will rule the tennis market as well. With Cricket, Big Ant have ruled out any other company to actually make a game as they will have to start with BA standards and then improve and be different. When DBC 14 came out there was no standard as the last game to come out was IC2010 which again was 3 years back.

Career mode on the new Big Ant tennis game is going to be sick.

The tennis game market has been dead for years. Big Ant have already shown a strong track record of making sports games, if they can take control of the cricket and tennis gaming markets they could well set themselves one mighty solid base for the coming decade. Just need to get their marketing right to go along with the product.

Exactly what I was thinking.

There is surely competition this time bro with Tennis World Tour check

I appreciate Big Ant making cricket games as a fan of the sport.
However buying the game which immediately needs patch (twice now with DBC 17 and Ashes), cant be one of the audience who likes to sing praises for them.

Can you name another major sports game that doesn’t have multiple patches following release?

Or any other game.

I don't think I've seen a dropped catch though.

It's true I've not seen one dropped catch yet.

Appreciate having the patches. The developers have been nothing but accepting the faults. I do not mind getting that Day 1 patch as for me that game is still new. Also working as many 4-5 patches over a year shows the dedication. They can easily release a new game everyear with patched up releases. In this modern era lets actually again start appreciating smaller things.

I knew ppl who like to sing praise would quickly defend, see i support them too have bought all 3 titles
We all know what happened on DBC17 as i buyer i felt let down, in a real world there has to be constructive criticism.
