Tennis World Tour update out now (version 1.12)

Tennis World Tour has received another update on Switch. Version 1.12 is out now, which includes all changes from that release as well as version 1.10.

Below are the full patch notes:

1.10

Features

• Slide animations have been added on clay courts.
• A new style of forehand has been added to the character creator: the “whip” forehand, with a whole new set of animations.
• New serve preparations and serve styles have been added to the character creator.
• The Season mode can now be accessed when a cup is being played. You can go play ranked matches in-between your Cup matches.
• Added an introduction to the Training stadium.

Balancing

• Updated the order in which players are displayed in the Character selection screen, to better reflect current ATP rankings.
• Updated Agassi and McEnroe’s skills set.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug that could make players teleport during shot preparation.
• Fixed a bug that was causing the players to hit the ball without making any contact with it.
• Improvements to the shot selection engine to remove most of the instances of unwanted slice effects. In practice, this should improve the chance of getting the effect asked for during the preparation of the shot.
• Fixed a bug that was penalizing serve returns on the forehand side, resulting in an unnaturally higher number of Aces.
• Fixed a bug regarding the orientation of the players after a shot. They are now correctly facing the court after each shot, making the whole rally look more smooth.
• Fixed a bug with AI movement. The AI will now accurately run towards the ball, notably on dropshots.
• Fixed a bug in the AI that was preventing them from using lobs.
• Improved the choreography when interrupting the serve preparation animation.
• Fixed the missing racket shadow at Quito’s venue.
• Fixed an unwanted halo effect around players during cutscenes.
• Fixed new equipment pictures that were displayed upside down in the reward screen.
• Fixed some Octogon and Tooltech dampener textures.
• Fixed a bug where Season Cups were sometimes played at the wrong venue.
• Fixed a bug where player outfits were not saved correctly during Season Cups.
• Fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent the Surgery event from appearing in the Career mode in December.
• Fixed some minor interface issues.

1.12

Balancing

• Sped up the rally and serve pace (about +5%).
• Improved the global accuracy on difficult ball, because Attackers were causing too many unforced errors on difficult shots or difficult positions.
• Lowered the height threshold for the “low-arc” malus on shots, from 60cm down to 40cm.
• Increased the regeneration of stamina between points and sets.
