Good But....
This game has a ton of potential and brings a high level of excitement. However that potential and excitement is quickly tempered by gameplay hiccups that on the surface may seem petty. But those hiccups very quickly become major issues. What I am referring to is the bat or paddle as some may know. Like many games out there in the gaming world, a player is rewarded for their effort as the progress thru the various levels. This is no different. The game teaches the basics of proper gameplay and gradually becomes more difficult as you progress thru various levels. When you win a match you are rewarded with experience points which opens different games and practices. The more you play the better you become. But you will learn very quickly that the bat you play with is NOT going to help you much beyond the practice lvls. You will need to take time to practice the various returns, serves etc. This is where the type of bat comes in. Some are good for sheer speed, others for control and spin. But this isn’t easy to find. I earned several “upgraded” bats with high spin and control. The problem was that I had absolutely no idea how to use them. Finding where I could switch the bats took some time. That is the major issue. I would like an easier menu to navigate so I don’t have to spend so much time looking for the bat I wish to use. Don’t be fooled by the skins either... they do NOTHING for your overall control and spin. They are nothing more than flash.Show lessCcKing0024
Spin Spin Spin = Boring
I want to love this game, I really do. Graphics are terrific, could have a story of some kind for career but that is the small stuff. What kills this game for me is that once you are past initial tournament it turns into a spin dominated game and trying to do anything but put spin or counter spin on a shot is a complete waste of time and leads to a loss and failure. I played tournaments in my youth and not every player out there can spin like a world champion but you wouldn’t know that in this game. It just gets way to boring to rally until you accidentally swipe to low and lose the screen on iPad or another glitch is paddle sticks in place or the opponent hits in the net on and easy return after a long boring rally like even the computer ai got bored. There are lots of different play styles out there but obviously the developers are fans of spin, spin, spin.Show lessShania'sDad
Wonderful gameplay but could be amazing
I enjoyed the game but with the following tweaks I would be actively recommending it. When playing this game I want:
- to be able to choose my bat for every exercise, not just some. This frustrated me.
- more variety in opponents playing styles. Skill and stamina aren’t enough, I’d like to see more variability in offense, defense, spin, etc, so I really have to adapt to new opponents.
- the ability to spend my reputation (or match winnings) on bat upgrades.
- visuals and stories for my opponents. I like building a narrative in my head when playing.
- a secret bonus level after the world champs. Would add some needed mystique to the game.
- controls that increase my likelihood of hitting the ball when it’s loving fast. Like other reviews I also felt like the ball passed by when I was certain my finger was in the right place, but I think it’s because when the ball is going fast you need lots of precision. This is frustrating, not challenging. Instead, if my shot isn’t quite perfect at high speed I should still be able to hit the ball, but my accuracy or speed of return should suffer.
Give the game these tweaks and you’ll be on to an all-time winner. It’s so close! Thanks for your good work and attention to detail.Show lessavaricus
Racket Abuse?
This game is amazing and super addicting. I got all gold medals on every mini game, beat the championships, and got 33/34 awards. I can’t get the last award. Racket Abuse. It says you need to play and win with every bat in the range. I don’t know what that means. If you have to beat the championships with every bat then I am definitely not doing that as it’s probably impossible. I love this game, it’s super addicting and fun to play. I’m hoping that you will be able to help me with getting this last award.Show lesslitlboche
Outstanding. Fun. Addicting.
This game has become my favorite iPhone app and I have many. Beautiful realistic graphics, simple to play and navigate, clean and well organized. Most of all a completely realistic and authentic feeling of playing live table tennis. Even my strengths and weaknesses are the same here as in real life. I love this game and pull it out any chance I get. It’s especially great for shorts breaks during the day. The training sessions are absolutely fun and the tournaments offer a real life feel of nervousness and excitement. I love that I am playing in front of a live audience that applauds my wins! Outstanding work in development. And great fun to play!Show lessFindingGoodApps
best table tennis game
I’ve read some reviews about just negative negative negative come on how perfect can at really get it for being able to play on a little phone it’s held in our hands and it to mimic the actual game itself is amazing I myself would like to believe I’m a amateur to pro table tennis player in real life. In this game has got me in numerous my table tennis friends and love sure there’s a lot of things I could be fixed sure there’s a lot of things that don’t work but the overall is it can’t get much better than this except for I’m trying to figure out how to play my friend do we have to be on the same Wi-Fi or somethingShow lessShortStack916
It’s ok...just ok
The game play is fun the “online” component only works on local WiFi so it’s not online which is the main reason I downloaded the game the real reason the game is so frustrating sometimes when you try to hit the ball it sometimes just fazed through the paddle and this is extremely present in the more skilled opponents in a quick play match vs more of the more highly skilled opponents the game used to be 5$ which is an absurd price for such an unpolished game but making the game free was a good change the story/career mode is boring after the first few tournaments I’ve read a couple of the reviews for the game and they made it so it was less skilled base which is fair enough but the game is so brutal with its first couple of tournaments you have to go through a practice stage before every tournament which is fair enough but after the first stage or club section the game really steps up and starts to punish you with the horrible controls the serving is a horrible process where you barely ever can hit an advanced serve and if you miss no second tries to attempt to correct the horrible mechanics the game is just flat out unpolishedShow lessBullseye bulldog12
Fun, but...
The game plays fun, but I’ve noticed that no mater how hard I try, I can never hit it out of the table. I’ve been trying to commit an error on purpose to test this out, and the ball always stays in play. Which means that the player doesn’t really have full control over the direction of the ball. It’s only about timely hitting. That’s somewhat unsatisfying. Especially since the super realistic graphics imply that the game will be realistic to play. I play actual ping pong, and players, especially beginners, have a hard time keeping the ball in play. They either hit the net, or miss the table. Neither of these ever happens in this game. I assume that’s done on purpose to make the gameplay suitable for more people, but it would be nice to be able to switch to a more realistic mode, in which you have more actual control, even though it will be more difficult to learn that control.
But, despite this, it’s still a fun, and a great looking, game.Show lessKonokopia
I love this game!
I am hooked on this game. It is so fun and it is a challenge. There are a few things that I think could be improved. First off, something is causing the game to lock up, just every once In awhile. I was having to start over on the career mode every time it locked up and was just about to delete the app, after the third time I was deep into the game and had to start over, when I figured out I can reset my Ipad while the game is locked up and I only lose what I am currently on instead of my whole career. The other thing is that some of the mini games are set up to where I slam the ball as hard as it will go and it’s almost looks like the opponent blinks and is there making it impossible to do a passing slam.…the whole challenge. I highly recommend!Show lessodell119
Let’s me play strategically!
I love this game. I have no trouble hitting the ball and I love being able to control the speed of the game based on my play style. I don’t understand how another reviewer said it was hard to hit. I play only on my iPad as I prefer the larger surface area. Maybe they are on their phone? I tried playing against a frien and he was on his phone. He had a hard time, BUT it was also his first time whereas, I had been playing for a week or two. I suggest giving yourself enough time to learn and get used to it, then write your review.Show lessPhDAV
