You signed up for Si Please post if you are interested, thanks. If you are having issues finding a partner I will hold a "name in the hat" drawing for all of you who by then still don't have partners so we can get the teams set. This drawing will take place around a week after the game is released to give everyone enough time to figure out if they can handle the additional matches and enough time to actually find and purchase the game. Reserve your copy now at your local store if you are confident that you'll participate. Please use THIS thread to find a partner, or you can post here and we'll find you a partner in the drawing. Either way works for me, just wanna find out what kind of draw we're gonna need. Those playing doubles so far: jackBURTON (w/ woobwoob) woobwoob (w/ jackBURTON) Babolat (w/ The Phat Bandit) The Phat Bandit (w/ Babolat) TMG620 (w/ Vagetarian) Vagetarian (w/ TMG620) Tris10 (tenatively w/ Skalicious) Skalicious (tenatively w/ Tris10, not sure if will buy the game) XboxJon - interviewing candidates for partners. striker3771 (submitting resume to jon) Mr. Pappagiorgio (PM to become partners with him) Stang6697 (no partner yet) The Destroyer (no partner yet) Raptor710 (no partner yet) MixMasterMike (wants to be partners w/ The Destroyer or Infamous Z) azdef01 (no partner yet) Papa Renob (no partner yet, maybe Bigpap37 or Mr Pappagiorgio) sportman85 (no partner yet) Canucks33 (no partner yet, schedule could possibly prevent from playing doubles) Those still left in the pool: Marauders Skater Original MP SpeedFloyd master yoda BigPapa37 SixWonSix mjj2399 Big Red02 Infamous Z (Bicranium) shepstyle TIME goalie young steeltiqila Matchstick pingwrx Tennis Playa mumfordbs Reign Man melee Xohrum
I'll be doing doubles, but I'm not selecting a partner until I see who's good. Don't want to get stuck with a dud. hehe
that may work, but i know that Joe, Jack and I are not playing online the first two weeks so that we can play offline and build our characters up. So you may wanna keep track of whos not playing online the first two weeks because those are the guys that are going to be able to show up with the best characters. and the drawing will be a week after the games release so be weary of the deadline when holding off in making a choice.
I will be playing within the first week. I am going to max out my guy ASAP so I can enter the "heard-about" Microsoft tourneys and get my rank high enough on their scoreboards. Don't really know how they work, or how maxing out your character will work, but either way, Im devoting my life to it. This is something that I have been looking forward to for a long, long time.
enlighten me w/ the subject. upon creating your character/player, you must play online to improve your skills? or play the skills game w/in the game to improve and stack up points for your character? so all characters/players when the play online they will have their own "skills" and attributes?
Im with Jon. I will interview for Jon's open position. Hopefully my skills will be good enough to land this job. LOL !
Hehe. I figure the same guys that are good at hockey, football, etc have the joystick jockey stills to be good at Top Spin too. I'm sure most of us will play wait and see for that first week and see who we play well with. Scheduling will be important too, need to be around the same time that your partner will be to get practice in.
I am up for some double's action, but I have a work schedule that change's all the time, so the time's I would be available will differ from week to week. Top priority will be building up my character, which I don't think will be terribly difficult, and if it plays similar to virtua tennis, I shouldn't have any problems. If anyone is interesting in teaming with me, my door or PM Box rather is certainly open
I forsee it being similar to MotoGP where offline, you have to overcome certain challenges and accomplish certain goals to gain stat points for your various strokes. Upon completion of certain goals you may also earn new strokes to build up. That kind of thing.
yea i'm up for doulbles also, and like all of you i'm gonna play to build up my character before i play live also unless we have to play live to build up a character, we'll just have to see when it comes out how it works. if its like vitua tennis then all will be well in about 4 days after i get it!
yeah...if the skill level is like the Sega Tennis 2k2 (PS2) it will take about 4 days to reach my rating i would like to have.
Well don't worry, for those that want to play, that dont have a partner we will have a "pool" of players that will sign-up to be partnered up.
I'm down for some doubles play too, I'd like to be partners with Destroyer or bicranium... I know I'd have the most fun with them, lol.
I'm down for some doubles action. I just hope I can get a partner who has a good backhand, cause mine sucks.
i wanna play in doubles but since im new it will be hard fpr me to get a partner so can u guys assign me one...
