Much better, at least on the mens side. Still no Youzhny though. Wonder what list is right....
And what's the deal with a PS3 exclusive player?
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT ? WHY ?
IN the past this game was an exclusive for xbox (TS1) and 360 (TS2).....and....they......WTF !!! HEY !!! F*** Y** 2K !!
Oh wel, Top Spin never had all that many actual pro's in there. Most of them are fictional. I'd love to see Baghdatis and Gasquet in there as well. I hope that list on Topspin3.co.uk is the correct one.
Either way the Tennis games are the same year in year out, i personally dont see the point anymore, and thats my right.

Good afternoon,
We must say that we are extremely disappointed with the roster of players that will be included in Top Spin 3. 2k Sports declares that they want to give players the opportunity to play with their favorite characters, but how is that the case when so many good and exciting players are not included? How are the Australian Open Finalists left off? How is the 3-time French Open champion left off, except on the PS3? How can you have a list of legends that includes only 3 players? How can you call it a list of legends without an individual who has the most Grand Slams in the open era and an individual who accomplished a Career Grand Slam? Are you toying with us? Essentially, you lied to us by claiming what is not true; you have not giving us the players consumers want to play with. Only 17 players to play with, that is unacceptable; clearly other players must be included into this weak lineup.
Players to add to make this roster the best that it can be:
David Ferrer, Novak Djokovic, Nikolay Davydenko, Marcos Baghdatis, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet, Marat Safin, Nicolas Mahut, Fernando Gonzalez, Paul-Henri Mathieu. Mikhail Youzhny, Ivo Karlovic, Carlos Moya, Canas, Lleyton Hewitt, Anna Ivanovic, Daniela Hantuchova, Jelena Jankovic, Anna Chakvetadze, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Elena Dementieva, Patty Schnyder, Maria Kirlenko.
We have been eager since July for the release of this game. Now what you have done has only negated our excitement. Thus, we, and our contemporaries, have come to the conclusion that since we've waited this long for the release, we will continue to wait until another game, such as the Smash Court Series, makes a proper tennis game that one can enjoy, because it will have players that consumers will want to play with. So we will not be purchasing Top Spin 3 until acceptable changes have occurred.
I hope you are paying attention to message boards and blogs on how dissatisfied your potential customers are. The opportunity to make a really fine tennis game and succeed in areas where others have failed is still achievable. Please listen to your consumers; because in the end they are the ones who will be purchasing the game -- but only if they have cause to purchase. At the moment, cause is lacking.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dissatisfied consumers
