About the Game
Tennis Elbow 4 is the successor of Tennis Elbow 2013, acclaimed by many Steam reviewers as the most realistic tennis simulation ever.
TE4 pushes even deeper the realism of the tennis rallies by providing completely rehauled ball, strike & player physics.
Created by and for tennis fans, Tennis Elbow 4 is a tennis simulation with an easy and intuitive learning curve, but with exceptional gameplay depth.
In this tennis game, you'll have to show all your tactical skills, use an iron mind and quick reflexes, as well as a sharp eye to guess the ball trajectories, all of this to choose your next strike wisely.
To beat your opponent, you have the choice between all the possible strikes on a real court, from the safe strike to the acceleration, including the drop shot and the topspin lob.
Because of its numerous difficulty levels, this tennis simulation is designed for all tennis lovers, whether gamepad mashers or keyboard novices. In addition, a visual help system will assist you in aiming the ball and positioning your player. You can turn these options on and off whenever it suits you.
TE4 features one of the most complete World Tour ever made in a tennis video game. With over 3500 players evolving over several decades competing in more than 400 tournaments each year, from the low-rank Junior tournament qualifications to the top-level Pro event finals, both in singles and doubles competition, you’ll feel like diving into a real professional tennis player career.
The Tennis Elbow game engine is very open to modifications and a few mods are already available on Mana Games' forums.
Features:
9 different court surfaces : clay, green clay, grass, hard, blue-green hard, classic synthetic, NewLine synthetic, indoor hard and indoor synthetic; each with a specific rebound
21 Stadiums around the world
400+ tournaments, with 3500+ players evolving over 70 years, from 1973 for men & 1983 for women, to 2042

Warnings for the Online mode :
You can play doubles with 4 human players on 1 computer, or on 2 computers with 2 players on each, via LAN or Internet — but not on four separate computers.
Online play uses peer-to-peer (P2P) connections with no relay server. This means that if you're behind CGNAT, or if you cannot forward a UDP port or use UPnP on your Internet router, you won’t be able to host a match. You should still be able to join a host, though.

- Animation : your player could do some gesture by himself
- Animation : fixed a couple of weird animations
- Animation : the prediction strike could alternate between the smash and the forehand (or the backhand), making your player stutter a lot
- Animation : the dynamic strike animation wasn't smoothed when your player was starting or stopping to run, leading to abrupt changes

Bug Fixes :
- Animation : when moving forward (and possibly in some other cases), our player was very often anticipating that we were going to turn around our BH to do a FH, and turn around our FH to do a BH, and thus was preparing the wrong strike
- Animation : the head could be slightly misoriented in some cases, especially with some waiting-for-the-opponent-to-serve animations

Bug Fixes :
- Animation : the Sliding FH was played instead of Sliding BH
- Animation : fixed some weird movement when we make our player turn around his backhand to play his forehand, but it'll still happen if we position our player incorrectly (ie: go too far and need to be brought back a bit by the AutoPos)
