This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Top Spin 4 for PlayStation 3
Top Spin 4 approaches tennis through timing, position and shot selection. You hold a button during preparation and release it at contact; too early or late reduces control and power. Flat shots, topspin, slice and lob each have a purpose. Players move with visible weight across clay, grass and hard court, making good positioning for the bounce more important than constantly hitting hard.
Career lets you create a player and progress through training, smaller events and major tournaments. Experience improves offensive, defensive and serve-and-volley attributes, while coaches attach extra benefits to a style. Exhibition uses real professionals and created players for singles or doubles. PlayStation 3 also supports optional PlayStation Move; Xbox 360 does not use Kinect. The Wii version has adapted controls and presentation and should be treated separately.
This PlayStation 3 release of Top Spin 4 was checked separately for controls, presentation and delivery. The product title determines whether a regular, budget or No Manual edition is supplied. Historical network features are not promised as available; the campaign and local content on the disc remain the core of this version.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Top Spin 4 for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Top Spin 4
2K Sports released Top Spin 4 in Europe on 18 March 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. 2K Czech took over development after many staff from the previous Top Spin studio joined the team. The roster combined contemporary players such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams with former champions including Andre Agassi and Björn Borg. Licensed venues and clothing strengthened the professional-tour presentation.
The fourth entry aimed to explain Top Spin 3's precise shot control more clearly. A visible timing meter in training showed why a stroke succeeded or failed, while matches required attention to posture and ball flight. Career became shorter and clearer around status, rivals and coaches. Network tennis belonged to the original release, but a current connection is not promised. Local matches and the complete solo career are on the disc.
