    The graphics are unbelievably poor. It's hard to believe someone would publish a game with such poor graphics in 2022.

    Reading some good reviews about this game, i downloaded this through Game Pass. People were comparing this with Topspin 4. Unfortunately, this game is not so forgiving for casual tennis fans as said title.

    In Topspin I could easily beat the AI on easy level. Not so much here. This game is clearly more focused towards tennis adepts and better. In Topspin you could just press a button    Reading some good reviews about this game, i downloaded this through Game Pass. People were comparing this with Topspin 4. Unfortunately, this game is not so forgiving for casual tennis fans as said title.

    In Topspin I could easily beat the AI on easy level. Not so much here. This game is clearly more focused towards tennis adepts and better.

    In Topspin you could just press a button and the game would keep it in the "in" zone. Here you constantly need to check your placement or the ball will go out. I can understand if you do this for normal or pro difficulty, but i just want to play like in AO tennis 2. I don't need a tennis world tour, where the rally takes like 60 shots on grass, because the AI is programmed not to make mistakes. How many real players have 100% services in or make 0 unforced errors?

    In this game even my own character, with a rating of 22, controlled by the AI, gave Nick Kyrgios (rated 89), played by me, a run for his money, playing perfect power shots and aces, and beat him. While when i was playing i always ended up losing against players below 50 rating.

    Clearly this game is too hard for a casual like me, although i played Topspin 2 and 4, Virtua Tennis 3, Smash Court Tennis, AO tennis 1 and 2 and Tennis World Tour. This game reminds me of the latter, with it's brick wall AI.

    -Technically, the game drops frames a lot, which is strange considering how bare bones the game looks.

    -The controls are like every tennis game on the market, like one could expect.

    -Sound is bad, commentary is like a one liner per game. Crowds don't really react to exciting gameplay.

    -Gameplay is fast, but hardly ever fluid, because of the frame drops (stuttering), even on my Xbox One X.

    Concuding, i can say this game feels bare bones, the career mode is boring, the visuals sub par and performance is bad on xbox one. Technically this game looks and feels like a xbox 360 game, but underperforms even on xbox one x.

    My advice: check it out on game pass first! Don't buy it right now, because this game feels like a beta.    … Collapse

    I just love the sport in the form of a game and find it so much easier to become a champion with all the ways I can practice and take on challenges with other players whenever I’m ready too! So if tennis is a game you’re searching for, and want to really play with ease and not break a sweat? Then Matchpoint Tennis Championships is a game you should give a shot!
