GN Version 3.1

My name is Jean-Karl Tupin-Bron, Game Designer on Top Spin 4. We are going to talk today about the main solo mode of Top Spin 4, the Career mode.

After Top Spin 3’s release, we read a lot of feedback from users asking for a deeper Career mode. That’s why we focused a lot of attention on this game mode with one purpose in mind: to bring you the most exciting career mode yet in a Top Spin game.

Steps to Glory
The main objective of this game mode is quite simple: take a promising pro player (created with the Player Creator spoken about in the previous Developer Diary from the bottom of the Pro rankings and turn them into a Tennis Legend. The Career mode has been designed to make you feel the rigors of having your player rise through the tennis hierarchy from the very first minor tournaments against unknown players to the most famous Grand Slams, challenging modern day legends like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
