Bought the full version and major disappointment with switching sides in match play. Is there a way to turn this off? It's not natural to play tennis staring at yourself and having to do opposite actions with the controls. Generally a fun game.

I love the fact that real name of tennis players are NOT used. Do I really want to buy Virtua Tennis 3 and be stuck forever in 2006? Not at all. I would, however, like to see a wider range of ethinicities used and randomly generated names from those countries, including last names. It would be so awesome to have a career mode, where rankings change and players come and go. One last comment. I love the fact that real name of tennis players are NOT used.

Tennis games (and most other classic arcade style games) simply don't work on a keyboard. Ever tried Super Mario Brothers on a keyboard? Terrible... Aside from that, some constructive feedback... 1) Could be a truly great game with gamepad compatibility. 2) I really don't like at all that you can set your skill level to whatever you want. Whatever happened to earning additional skills and building a character? 3) This game would be excellent with a career mode in which players are ranked and rankings change based on tournament placings. Players should have an age (start your career at 18 and retire at 34...), and rise and fall in rank and abilities as the career mode progresses. I know this is just a simple tennis game, but it could become a wonderful franchise. How long have we waited for a simple, yet detail-oriented tennis game? 4) Tournaments should be highly customizable with the option of formatting them similar to real tennis tournaments. Can't wait for "Smashing Tennis 2" where all the above suggestions are incorporated =) I would definitely buy that, even at a high price.

Is it planned? Because playing such kind of game with keyboard is not very exciting. I would be really nice to add gamepad support. Is it planned?
