Well done
Fantastic game, exactly what I was looking for in a Tycoon simulation game. Only issue is that I can’t sim to the next day anymore. The game is stuck
Fantastic game, still a lot of flaws
First, let me say this game is very fun and I love the idea. This type of game is my wheelhouse and pretty much all I play.
Here are some things done well: the UI overall is good. It’s nice to be able to swipe back from the menu you’re in. The design is good with a focus on text over silly images and animations that would just slow the game down.
Here are some things that definitely would make the game better:
Email - give an option to filter out some emails or “autoreply”. There are so many emails that shouldn’t be shown when they are tasks you’ve delegated to your Assistant Manager.
Repairs - there should be an option to auto repair facilities and courts. Maybe based on dropping below a threshold or something? It’s so tedious and annoying.
Contracts - with all the emails (40 plus per day), I wish there was a way to make those important tasks appear at top of inbox (flagged?) instead of at the bottom of the unread ones.
Membership inquiries - should be able to delegate this task (ie set a minimum rating or potential threshold that auto accepts new members at that level)
Reputation - why does it cost so much reputation to release a bad player? No one in real life would have any issue with that. And it certainly shouldn’t cost up to 10% of your rep for one player! Reputation is wildly unbalanced, despite being maybe the most important thing in the game.
Rankings - I have a 15yo who won two straight majors and has never lost a match (and rated 96) and can’t even crack the top 300 juniors! What is that?! The rankings don’t make sense despite apparently following the point system in tennis.
Scouts - scouts are terrible no matter their ratings. Also, when you fire one and go back, it’s a blank screen so you have to close and reopen the game.
Finally, let me say despite these issues the game is fun, but starts out so tedious and then there is nothing to do later. I also wish rankings showed up/down movement. And the tournament entry system is broken. If the developer continues to work on the game, it could be really awesome. But for now there are a LOT of small issues and things that make the game not super fun or engaging. Hopefully updates will change that and feedback is used!

Needs improvement
Names don’t match nationalities and there should be more variety in names.
Detailed and fun
I’m not a fan of tennis in general but do enjoy simulation games. This one has me hooked. Really well done.
Great Game
This game is addictive, and I really like the way it’s set up. It’s nice to have a solid Tennis management game.
Astonishing
This is one of the greatest iPhone game I’ve ever played. Incredibly addicting. I don’t even have any ideas for how to make it better. I love it.
Super addicting
I played tennis to a semi-pro level and had basically given up on tennis games. They’re either arcade-style unrealistic or pay-to-play. I picked this game up before a flight and got super addicted. It reminds me of Football Manager (which I used to love growing up) but for tennis. You can play quickly and coast or you can get super in depth with match tactics, coaching hires and facility growth. My only gripe is it would be awesome to watch matches vs just the text. But it’s a great game overall if you like sims.
