In Top Spin 4 you customize your own tennis player by choosing from a number of different attributes to tailor your character, just the way you want it, from backhand animation down to how you would like to grunt while shooting. After creating your character, you enroll at the Top Spin Academy where you learn the basic controls before moving on to developing or improving your tactics. Top Spin 4 is at the time of writing, one of the most accurate tennis simulators available.
