Tennis is simply backhand/forearm, bowling gives you barely any spin control, golf is fairly good, baseball is as useless as tits on a bull and boxing is the most gimmicky of them all. They are meant to be additive family/party fun, not retarded boring simulation like GT5 |
I just noticed this post... it is quite wrong what you said. In tennis you can of course aim left/right by timing [like in real life] ie with a forehand shot, swinging later results in aiming to the right, earlier and it will go left.... which is how it works in real tennis. It is also possible to perform high and low shots [thus determine how deep your shot lands] by swinging upward or downward.... i have not mastered spin yet but i believe that is possible too. Believe me bowling has excellent spin controls... if you know what you are doing you can do some cool things... It may be you don't get it because you always throw really fast, or let go too late, because both decrease the effect of spin. If you spin it a lot, but throw fast it will go in a straight line till it slows down enough to curl [good when on the training where you have to pass 3 barriers before curling left/right]... if you let go really late the ball is halfway to the end before it touches the alley, so not enough time to curl. IF however you wsnt a nice smooth curve, thow it slower. (All the above also depend on how much you curl it too) Boxing i could not disagree more on, as i have stated it in fact works incredibly well, but takes time to get used to. Basball batting is the only one of the 5 that is in any way simple, as it is only about the timing. [at least i certainly can't tell the difference when i try to swing low or high] pitching I think is more complex, because i think [dont hold me on this] you can pitch to the left/right [i am not talking about pressing B/A] like the computer does when pitching to you...but i haven't figured it out yet if it is possible.
