Posted on February 8, 2019 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Tennis World Tour has received a major update on Switch. The game is now at version 1.09, featuring online tournaments, balancing, bug fixes, and more.
The full patch notes are as follows:
Features

This mode allows the creation of online tournaments by players.
- Added more character customization options in an updated version of the player creator.
- Event added to Career Mode in December, that allows the further customization of existing characters.

- Added animations at end of a point where a lucky win is achieved with the help of the net.
- Added animations to avoid the ball if it goes out and the player is on its trajectory. The AI will no longer volley those balls (both opponent and player AI).
