Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, tightly paced tennis game may find the 70-year career structure too extended.
- Players who want only direct matches may bounce off the training, sponsorship, staff, and scheduling management.
- Players seeking a broad team-management game may find the focus on tennis players and tournaments narrow.
- Players wanting only automated match outcomes may not value the optional 3D control systems.
Our take on Tennis Elbow Manager 2
The likely bounce point is the transition from coaching to direct 3D control: playing every tournament match can reduce the importance of some management skills. Players who prefer a clean separation between simulation decisions and on-court action may find that system difficult to balance.
