What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is already fully playable and a bunch of fun, but it still lacks content & polishing (especially animation wise), plus it needs your feedback to tune the gameplay ! :-)”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Till it's ready, which should be around June 2023. It could be longer, depending on many factors, including additional work on the animations if the sale volume allows it (ie: motion capture for the player movements).”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Everything will be more polished, especially the animations.
The game will also get new features like the Singles Tournament Mode, Challenges when the ball call seems wrong to you, etc.

Roadmap

A roadmap is available here : https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic15-33253.php

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and already more complete than Tennis Elbow 2013, although the gameplay is still a bit less well balanced & polished.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price won't change.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is very important to ensure the final quality of the game, so if you have any comment, suggestion or issue with the game, you'll be very welcome to state it in the discussion forum.”

About This Game

Tennis Elbow 4 is the successor of Tennis Elbow 2013, acclaimed by many Steam reviewers as the most realistic tennis simulation ever.

TE4 pushes even deeper the realism of the tennis rallies by providing completely rehauled ball, strike & player physics.

Created by and for tennis fans, Tennis Elbow 4 is a tennis simulation with an easy and intuitive learning curve, but with exceptional gameplay depth.

In this tennis game, you'll have to show all your tactical skills, use an iron mind and quick reflexes, as well as a sharp eye to guess the ball trajectories, all of this to choose your next strike wisely.

To beat your opponent, you have the choice between all the possible strikes on a real court, from the safe strike to the acceleration, including the drop shot and the topspin lob.

Because of its numerous difficulty levels, this tennis simulation is designed for all tennis lovers, whether gamepad mashers or keyboard novices. In addition, a visual help system will assist you in aiming the ball and positioning your player. You can turn these options on and off whenever it suits you.

TE4 features one of the most complete World Tour ever made in a tennis video game. With over 3500 players evolving over several decades competing in more than 400 tournaments each year, from the low-rank Junior tournament qualifications to the top-level Pro event finals, both in singles and doubles competition, you’ll feel like diving into a real professional tennis player career.

The tennis Elbow game engine is very open to modifications and a few mods are already available on Mana Games' forums.
