We can now say it loud and clear: the very first trailer for Matchpoint: Tennis Championships was a lie. Made entirely in CGI, but presented as gameplay, the first video of the game released in January 2022 is indeed far from the expected result. Just take a look at the gameplay videos that have appeared everywhere on YouTube since the game was released on July 7 to see the glaring difference between promises and reality. Not only the modeling of the players is completely missed, but in addition the animations lack naturalness and flexibility. The gameplay is also next to its pumps, with completely absurd game design choices. It is for example impossible to sprint in the game (lol), just as there is no stamina gauge, which means that players are never tired. We are not talking to you about the management of the rise to the net which is suicidal, or assisted movements. This is unheard of in the failure of a tennis game. The press has delivered its verdict and Matchpoint: Tennis Championships posts 58% metascore on PS5, with no note in the green. That is to say the level…
