Grand Slam Tennis 2 Demo Videos

I'm sorry...I don't have any video capture equipment

I guess that whoever put the demo up today did it too early. Usually EA announces their demos ahead of time. I only saw it today when I was going through the marketplace and saw the demo there and was surprised because I had seen absolutely nothing about a demo being released. As I was downloading I came here and saw the post saying it was available.

Mine only said -1 MS points when I tried to DL it!! Do you still have it in your marketplace to play? Maybe you could put it on cloud storage and let me play it!! LOL Seriously though, if one of your friends has a camera, they could do it from their house with your gamertag if the game is still playable.

Here is a video I found on Youtube (thanks at23steelers for the help)

As you can tell the player was having trouble serving with Total Racquet Control. You have to pull down on the RS and then release. The longer you hold it down means a more powerful serve and the arc in the chart gets taller. After you release the stick from setting the power you press the stick up in the direction you want the serve to go. Your goal is to stop the line in the middle of the arc.

Down - Flat Serve
Down & to the Right - Topspin Serve
Down & to the Left - Slice Serve

To above poster, on youtube click share, then click embed, copy and paste code to OS after clicking insert link.

Based off the video shown above:

Pros:

- Excellent Graphics
- Stats and scoreboard are well done
- Crowd seems to get into the match
-MacEnroe commentary sounded good

Cons:

- Players weren't very good, so hard to gauge gameplay
- The racket hitting the ball had a weird noise
- Pat Cash just stated the obvious and got annoying after only 3 games of listening to him

and before anyone says anything...yes, button (Arcade) controls are in so you don't have to use the Total Racquet Control if you don't want to

Do they have the player challenge system?

This video looks pretty good. I'll be keeping my eye on this one because I'd love to have a new tennis game to play. Panicshade, how did you like using the Total Racquet Control?

[Panicshade]

@bigball12 - It wasn't in the demo but that doesn't mean it isn't in the full game.

@Pappy Knuckles - I had no problem with the TRC system. It was easy to get used to for me and I haven't used the face buttons for gameplay in the times I have played.
