Anybody else have this game? Thoughts? I got this game the day of release. I quite enjoyed VT3. Not too dissapointed with the game thus far bar 2 major gripes.

1. Online might as well not have been included. The lag is so bad that it is impossible to play anyone. My experience in this game is hit the ball, watch the opponent stand there while ball flies past them. 2-3 seconds pass then all of a sudden ball comes back and because I saw no lead up to the shot I have no chance of getting to the ball to hit it back so generally will lose love games.

2. Trophies are glitched. I have earned 1 trophy when I wasn't even meant to get the trophy. and now have missed 2 trophies that I cannot earn without completely restarting the game (mind you I had practically finished the game when the trophies decided to stop being earned).

Actually I have a 3rd gripe. At random the game skips ahead 2 weeks instead of 1 whenever I play a game/tournament which at times has made me miss other tounaments that I needed to do.

It is all rather frustrating as the game isn't that bad. It just clearly hasn't been polished whatsoever.
 
I too was going to pick this up for my girlfriend was hooked on VT3, but then I was realizing how it was almost exactly the same as VT3, so I've held off on it.

I had that same online experience with Top Spin 3, I don't know if it's Australian internet connections or what, but any lag in the tennis game makes it unplayable.
 
I don't find any lag and think it's a great addicting game overall. One of major gripes is that it's waay to easy. I'm basically almost done with Career mode. Also as you all say it's too simular too VT3, but it's a fantastic formula so I don't mind.
 
Playing matches is kinda cool, but those missions like pirate ships and lego cubes, I mean WTF. Any they are stupid. Those ship fires tennis balls and canons, and time runs up before you can even hit all ships because they also sink and appear back after 5 seconds.
