Really enjoy the game and the concept, however after reaching a ranking of 600 there seems to be a bit of a paywall. There is a massive jump in skill of opponent from contender to mtf-100 tournaments and to increase skill takes a lot of time. On top of this it is very difficult to progress up the rankings, my last 2 mtf-100 tournaments I made the semi-final yet lost ranking points (to me this doesn’t make sense) that essentially means I’m in the top 4 of that ranking bracket yet went down??? And so after making 2 semi’s I can no longer compete. So I had to enter a contender tournament, which I won, my reward... no ranking points. Makes me feel like I can’t progress in the game further:
Hi, thank you very much for your feedback! We can guarantee that you don't need to buy in-game packs to become the new tennis star.
