Too bad the animations aren't loyal to the characters, they couldn't even get little things like Federer's serve right (not even close), or the taunts/celebrations...they are way off!
Graphics are pretty awesome, although some of the faces are a bit funny.

Agreeing with cooleo, except for the blur around the crowds. We know it isn't possible to render a fully realistic crowd yet so it's not worth hiding it under blur and bloom. They should be proud enough on how good the tennis players look.
One thing that struck me from the very first footage I saw of Top Spin 3 is how big a step back it is in that department. I honestly can't imagine how anyone who watches tennis regularly could state that they're anything like "true to life". The players in question simply don't move that way.
Sorry mods, I always keep it civil but idiot arrogant fuckers like this...I cannot stand. Ban me if you please, I don't care.
