Mana Games

1. Add Hawkeye
2. Show the player lifting a trophy after winning a tournament
3. Add ball boys’ animations so they track the ball with their heads
4. Optimise the crowd to prevent frame drops during applause
5. Add more realistic hairstyles
6. Improve the UI to give it a more modern look
7. Add more music tracks to the menu
8. Player handshake at the end of each match

I believe these are relatively easy additions to the game and nothing too complicated or unrealistic for a game like Tennis Elbow 4. I’m not sure though if Manu intends to add more things to the game or if he considers it finished.

Hi Nicky,

The game is finished according to Manu, he's moving on to new projects.

I hope to see these changes implemented through the great modding team here though, either through XKT, Damiano, or others.

Yeah most likely it won't happen, from now on is mostly "maintenance" work from manu fixing bugs and improving little code things here and there. The ball boys anim would be killer tho or animations after points ends like walking tweaking the strings racquets or stuff like that if you don't press any emote

Out of all these, I think Hawkeye is the most important one. At least this one would be a nice final addition.

I agree with ball boys' head tracking the balls. Same goes for crowds. I believe this can be implemented easily as Manu has already perfected the head tracking for the player. This will give the stadium a more alive feeling.

Another thing to add is the ambient crowd noise like TS4:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BDhxCL8YfZk

Manu the great has wrapped up the development phase of the game and is moving on to other projects. However, the UI still feels a bit disjointed. Having to set up your player, sets, and court details from outside of the Online menu is confusing i think. Centralizing these details inside the Online section would be a good improvement for the game's usability

Anrox, the game does have ambient crowd noises tho, it's been a while now since they got introduced
