TopSpin 2K25
SCORE: 73
I hear from these companies all the time that they want to make games
that make people feel good. They want to make games that educate,
entertain, and relax the gamers. If any of that was the goal with
TopSpin 2K25 then they failed miserably. I am being completely open,
honest, and transparent here. I live streamed this game for just over an
hour and it annoyed me more than it relaxed me. It irritated me more
than it educated, or entertained me.
TopSpin 2K25 has one major annoying control quirk that just infuriated
me. First and foremost I put TopSpin 2K25 on the easiest setting. I went
into the Career mode and was always over matched by the other tennis
players. I won more than I lost though thankfully. I could do one
training a month if I had the stamina to do so. I had to miss a month to
recover from an injury at one point in the game.
I also had to turn off the copyrighted music which could have contained
offensive lyrics. Why even include that kind of content? There can be
some lack of attire issues. I only played the men since I am not someone
suffering from the treatable mental illness of gender dysphoria. Back to
that control quirk. Players must move the player in position and then
hold the button and release at just the right time to hit the ball
right.
Want to know what happens if you do not hit the ball right in TopSpin
2K25? Well most of the time it went out. I took some of the trainings in
TopSpin 2K25. A few were helpful, and others were not. I failed the
targeting training again and again in TopSpin 2K25. This game did not do
a good job of explaining how to make that work. I would expect training
to teach me how to do something. Maybe I am just crazy though.
There are not a lot of modes in TopSpin 2K25. I had to get an account
with 2K to even be able to play TopSpin 2K25. That is obnoxious. I
already marked their advertisement emails as spam, and reported them to
everywhere I could as a spammer. How do you like that 2K? You should let
us skip it because some of us never want to play your game online ever.
It also soured my initial reactions to TopSpin 2K25.
