I dont see why everyone loves this game so much. I love tennis, and this game is not even similar to real tennis. I prefer Smash Court Tennis Pro tournament 2 over this game. Yes, that is a ps2 game. I hate how in Virtua Tennis 3, they dive all the way across the court. It is impossible to hit it by them. Not every winner in tennis is hit at 100mph. Spin can also get you a winner(just look at Federer and Nadal). They hit the ball way too hard on this game. And even when the ball is hit so hard, you're able to get to it because of the godly speed the players have. I mean, what tennis player can actually dive and save the ball 6 times in a row. Tennis is all about timing. In Smash Court Tennis 2, you have to hit the ball with perfect timing to hit the ball hard or put the perfect spin on it. You cant just hold down on X for 5 seconds and just rip the ball. It is impossible to make an error in the game except for when the guy smashes the ball at you. That is why you should have to time your shots. If you time your shot poorly, the ball will go out. That makes for a more realistic game experience. Also, I wish a tennis game would come out that actually has online. Neither Smash Court 2 nor Virtua Tennis 3 have online. Thats just my 2 cents.
