Can we unlock vintage Agassi with his old outfit without the center court pass??

For now, it doesn’t look that way. I remember it was a pre-order bonus in Topspin 4, but you could still access it later.

Same here. I did skip to Tier 5 using 600 VC for his grass outfit, but the one I really want is his ‘90s U.S. outfit. They did a good job on it with both the denim and compression shorts.

A good thing is that you can have those attires for your MyPlayer, but I’m more interested in playing as real life pros; me on the ATP Tour kills the immersion.

Sorry if im asking again since its not really clear to me right now: we can unlock Agassi 1990 just by playing the game but he has not his old 90s outfits? What is his outfit then? is he wearing the bald Agassi outfits? And so we need the premium pass center to unlock Agassi extra outfits? Is that right? Im a little bit confused right now.

No apology ever necessary MJ. If you still are not clear, feel free to ask anything else:

Agassi “starts out” with 2 outfits: regular and white, and he is bald(ing) in both.

You have access to a free version of the Centre Court Pass or you can opt to pay for the Premium (which isn’t necessary). In Tier 5, you can unlock Agassi’s Grass ‘90s outfit; you’ll progress through Tiers with gameplay. I spent 600 VC to skip 5 Tiers, which ultimately unlocked that Grass ‘90s outfit. Now, when I play an exhibition match, Agassi has that third outfit option.

The ‘90s U.S. outfit that is pictured in the screenshot is in Tier 50. As of right now, it seems as if you cannot purchase it but instead need to reach that tier through gameplay (I spent 600 VC to skip 5 Tiers but I’m not spending that much money to skip 50).

If that’s not clear, I’ll do my best to state it another way or answer any other questions.

This actually happens a lot now. You get reward a lot more for playing strategic tennis and not just hitting as hard as you can from the baseline.

The best part of the training with McEnroe is that it’s not just about hitting the shots, they actually explain the strategy behind it and why/when to use each shot. So if you get the AI moving or in bad spots, they will make more errors than in TS4, whether it be hitting into the net or hitting wide.

I think so far my online complaint so far is lack of player creation/sharing, like others here have said. Otherwise the gameplay is definitely improved from TS4. Only thing they may be able to do for next version is to continue to clean up some of the soft forehand animations. Otherwise I’m really enjoying the game so far.

I had the AI commit some errors in pressure situations during the last set—that was nice to see.
