Sep 2, 2024In short, we liked TIEBREAK, and it left us with some intense and exciting matches, especially once we got used to its gameplay. The huge number of licenses plays in its favour, and the creation options open the door to almost anything we might miss. Right now, it's an enjoyable title with a fantastic foundation, but it doesn't feel like a finished game to us, so we'd recommend keeping an eye on it until, hopefully, future patches make it a serious contender for the best tennis game of the moment.

Sep 15, 2024Tiebreak has the potential to become an enticing game for tennis fans, thanks to its large roster of players, official tournaments and events as well as the well-designed Djokovic Challenges mode. However, its lackluster career mode, mediocre A.I. and overall uninspired presentation keeps it from truly shine.

Sep 15, 2024The licenses and the extensive roster of athletes are a plus, but the sensitivity of the controls and the depth of the movements delivered can cause despair.

Sep 7, 2024Tiebreak, despite all its flaws, is the best video game representation of tennis that we have received so far. The biggest sports fans will still be able to enjoy this game for hours, provided they turn a blind eye to the somewhat poor AI and inadequate online mode.

Sep 3, 2024On the outside, Tiebreaker looks impressive with its plentiful roster blossoming with talent, a dedication towards providing the most authentic tennis game experience, and a presentation that wraps you up into the star-studded allure of a tennis icon. However, it all starts to unravel when you actually play it with its frustrating physics, its lack of non-generic modes, and the overall feeling it's just another me-too tennis game. Forget a tie-break, this one couldn't tie Novac Djokovic's ASIC's, which isn't the kind of impression that a new tennis game contender would want to make, yet Tiebreaker sadly fails to be anything more than just another pretender to Top Spin's crown.

Sep 3, 2024Tiebreak: Official Game of the ATP and WTA is an unfortunate mix. The license brings with it some decently rendered players and venues but it also lacks a presentational flourish to do it justice. The tennis is uncomplicated but I miss having better feedback and precision. The career mode can feel slim and there's very little to do away from the court. If the tennis was more compelling, I'd find it easier to recommend. As it is, I find it lacking.

Sep 2, 2024A Djokovic-centric tennis simulator that’s easy to pick up but lacks the polish and tactical complexity needed to make it great.

Sep 8, 2024Tiebreak: The Official Game of the ATP and WTA is, in essence, an acceptable game that appropriates old mechanics with some interesting twists. But everything else, such as a simplistic career mode, a broken online system, serious technical problems and a terrible AI prevent the game, even with a respectable license, from being minimally enjoyable.
