Thanks for the nice & fair review..! 🙂
You can simulate matches with TE4 by changing your player control from Human to CPU, and then skipping to the end of the match : it takes around 30 seconds for 3 sets on a decent rig.
As stated in another comment, you can also get TEM2 and activate it within TE4 and then simulate your match in text mode which also offers an instant result.
My last tennis game before TE4 was Great Courts 2 on the Amiga, so I didn‘t have any issues learning the controls. After a while, they just feel natural. Also, the difficulty system is awesome. It is very granular and you can increase it step by step, so the game never gets boring or overwhelming. You can integrate Tennis Elbow Manager 2 into TE4 which makes Career mode even more fun. I also love the modding capabilities. Besides the community mods, I made my own mod with my own tournaments and stadiums, etc and integrated it into the career campaign. Also the developer responds to every single inquiry and bug report! Most of the time within hours. Never experienced such a support from any company. The only drawback might be the animations, but the developer said that this might also get improved. I think, this game deserves support and every tennis game lover should at least give it a try.
Howdy Machete, awesome video! Appreciate your effort diving into TE and sharing your honest thoughts, and for giving my channel a shoutout. Glad you enjoyed the XKT mod! It is in fact a collective effort from an entire team aside from me, including xk, stef, barbie, and many others. And also squeakybum and oserkos for keeping up the XKT(WTSL) sub-patch - so special shoutout to all these folks for their spectacular work. Overall really excited to see what the future holds for TE and hope to catch more of you on the online tour :-)
love this game... Manutoo is a genius!
It's made by a tennis lovers for tennis lovers around the world...
it's a game full of soul and personality... quite unique in every way,
and differently from full ace, the developer doesn't burn you or implies you are stupid for asking something...
tennis elbow 4 for tennis games is what richard burns rally is for rally games a really hard and fun simulation
Great review! I was a huge fan of TE3, and completely agree that Tennis Elbow has the best (and most immersive) career mode by far. The gameplay is very nuanced and makes you feel and appreciate the differences each surface brings. (e.g. Beating Nadal in clay was close to impossible).
Can't wait to try TE4 on the PlayStation. After watching your review, it will definitely be a day one purchase for me!
TE4 is a sleeper hit for me. I played it on steam both 3 and 4. Of course all the things you mentioned are true. Graphics really don’t help. But, as a club tennis player myself, this game is fire to me. Just wish he had a big development team behind this game. 2k robbed me blind… so disappointed with it.
I absolutely love playing Tennis Elbow 4. I only wish the ball bounced a little bit higher. A lot of times the ball just dies on you, unlike a real tennis ball. But otherwise really really fun.
First time i played it, got my ass beat very badly but once I figured out the movement and the right difficulty for me I felt in love with it. Still I'm super bad but gameplay is way better than any game and I can't wait for the playstation release of it
Love Tennis Elbow 3 (Grand slam mod) and 4 (XKT mod). Its a game more for the purist who likes simulators. The onboarding without mods and learning curve will turn off many, especially the casuals who want the best graphics and arcade action.
I've got TE4 and 2k25 on Xbox, both are great, but TE4 is the best simulation sports game I've played.
I have bought it on Steam after watching your video. And it's a blast. But it feels great from the start! Thanks!
That's so awesome to hear!
@@machetegaming I loved Wii Tennis back in the day. But this is good.
Keyboard wariors in online play as its easier to hit hard angle shoots.
Good video looks better then tiebreak when it comes to gameplay on the court .
I was really happy when they released it on Xbox One! I enjoy the game but it’s hard to score points for me. Need more practice I guess lol
Tienes q dejar oprimido el botón hasta q haga impacto...si lo sueltas antes...la pelota queda servida ..para q te revienten ahí es la clave ..cuando logres adaptarte veras grandes juegos...
Glad to see this video here!
Tennis Elbow is the goat when it comes to "tennis simulator", every decision feels just like playing tennis, you have to think in each shot and the AI is perfect in its gameplay logic.
As for this new version in particular I feel that it is still not up to the level of TE3, I still do not enjoy it as the previous one, I like it but it still has things to improve.
What makes TE3 better for you?
@@machetegaming In TE3 the gameplay feels smoother and not so "pingpong" but the last update has corrected that a bit.
In TE4 it is easy to make aggressive shots practically without missing, it was also something that was talked about in the forum and it is being improved.
What I point out is how well balanced the gameplay feels in TE3, but I know it's a matter of time and the game will be better than the previous one.
I bought TE4 as soon as it came out and I'm testing every patch with and without mods.
Full ace tennis with fa mod is a better game
@@yeeeaaahmayneee3808 I have it and I play it frequently. It is difficult to say for me but, I think that FAT rivals directly with TE4 and not with TE3, each one has its good and bad things equally both sagas are excellent.
@@Gusbaldian yeah i was comparing it to te4,couldn’t really get into te
I played TE2013 for a very long time and I have had TE4 since the very early stages of development. The game is the closest tennis simulation to reality ever, but for now, it lacks the beautiful animations of the champions that some modders created for its predecessor in the past. For a tennis player and enthusiast like me, it is a bit unsettling to play with animations that resemble those of a beginner who has only had 2 hours of lessons.
12:25 how´s the name of that other game you mention?
The run movement is still weird, not realistic like what we see on tennis games. Something is wrong with the foot movement and body is stiff up while running. Needs to correct this. Maybe make the run animation in TS2k25 as the basis on how the proper foot and body movement were done. From there make the necessary adjustments.
I had to stop playing. The game is so addictive because it is so so good!
Can you properly serve and volley in this game? No videogame has ever got this right.
The way that they run is so funny😅🤣🏃🏻
I personally think tennis elbow 2013 is the best i wish they improved 2013 more
The overall graphic fidelity is definitely bad. But from what I'm seeing, ball physics are *chef kiss*.
Really good review, thanks. I'd like too see you do a review of Full Ace.
Glad you enjoyed! I am planning to do a Full Ace review, so stay tuned :)
Will the mods be available of PS5?
Yes.
So is it really finally coming to consoles? (PlayStation too?)
The game is already available on Xbox.
Regarding Playstation port, last I've read from the developer on this subject was that he hopes to release PS port by October if all goes well.
I'd argue that Full Ace Tennis is a better tennis simulator than TE
And that's a really good and interesting argument to make. What makes FA better for you than TE?
I agree for sure
I honestly find it kinda stupid that id have to install mods to make the game look like your one (real scoreboards, tournaments …) cause im on PS5 and couldnt do that, ill still probably try it tho cause as you said its one developer so any support helps
Mods will be available on PlayStation as they are on Xbox.
Well i am in the minority,i own about every tennis game that ever was and i tried Tennis Elbow 4 on xbox one and hated it with a passion,i could not get the player to move properly even with triggers,hated nearly everything about the game from terrible player models and the player movement looks like they are floating on air. The actual gameplay is very good for players that can work it out,i am 61 years old and it was the worst tennis experience i have ever had and was lucky i got a full refund the first week,these pc tennis simulators are not for me.
That's fair. The gameplay style is definitely different with aim being time-based and won't be enjoyable for everyone.
Which tennis game do you enjoy the most, Rob?
@@machetegaming I don't care that Topspin players hate AO TENNIS 2 but i have enjoyed it the most of all the tennis games and i own all Topspin games except 2k25 which i will not be buying. I have over 600 community cafs with the best models and love it and hope Tiebreak tops it.
Top Spin 4 best!
Funny comment
@@David1991. LoL.
que cosa horrible
Absolutely agree. Picked this game up just 3 weeks ago and I am just amazed und baffled at the same time, that this has been created by mainly one person plus a small supporter base. The mods complete the game. However I am certain, that many of today’s gamers lack imagination to overcome the old school graphics, which is a shame, because this is the best sports and tennis game I have played in a decade. And I love the career mode. If you love tennis, you will love tennis elbow 4.
BTW if you get tennis elbow manager 2, you can combine it with this game. This way you enhance your career mode and you can simulate career games 😉
Thanks for the tip about enhancing the career with TEM2. I didn't know you can combine it with TE4 😯
@@machetegamingSi se puede complementar...claro está tienes q comprarlo
