If you were hoping to buddy up with a friend in Top Spin 2K25, there's some bad news - online doubles won't be available at launch.
PSU writes: "2K comes out swinging with TopSpin 2K25, with this being the return to the popular tennis franchise. Presentation and gameplay meet the 2K Sports' standards that fans of the games come to expect, and TopSpin fans can feel comforted in the fact that the game still feels like it should."
Game Informer writes: "TopSpin 2K25 aptly brings the beloved franchise back to center court, showing that not only does the series still have legs, but so does the sim-tennis genre as a whole. Though its modes are somewhat repetitive and it’s missing several high-profile pros at launch, TopSpin 2K25 serves up a compelling package for tennis fans."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Top Spin 2K25 is a return to form for the legendary franchise, but it does feature a few issues. Of course, there’s the everlasting conundrum regarding 2K’s monetization practices, but this game did not feel as grindy or egregious as its basketball counterparts. If you are not into online play, you won’t have a lot of options; you will most likely spending many hours grinding for experience points to upgrade your avatar. Thankfully, the gameplay is downright impeccable. Grinding won’t be a hassle, as playing matches or completing additional events is fun and intuitive. More than anything else, it set a foundation for even better sequels. It might not be an ace, but it’s still a winner."
