Warning Before You Update to 5.0.0!! – Virtual Table Tennis Review

This new update has made some good improvements on the game. However, there are a lot of downsides as well. For example, the update removes all yours wins (and losses) and of course your percentage win rate. While I was disappointed in that, I found this next ‘improvement’ to be incredibly disappointing. It is called “Loop Drive”. It takes a paddle like Thunder and adds the properties of say Tornado. So while you were used to wielding Thunder confidently in the previous version, that confident is utterly destroyed. The makers took the most stable paddle and turned it into something unusable. I found myself losing to players I haven’t lost to in over a year because of this downgrade in quality! What was the point in this change?! If I wanted to get spin I’d use Tornado! You, the makers should give players the option to turn off this “Loop Drive” in options so that we can make the choice ourselves if we want to really screw up our game. Also, not so great was upping the cost to purchase paddles and extras by a very large percentage. I noticed a small but noticeable lag since opening up the online lobby to international players. The previous version definitely had laggy issues with online game play but those lags went big or didn’t bother to show up. So in short, this new update basically took out the fun from this game. A game I’ve enjoyed and played for years. (Though it did remove the loophole that allowed players to remove a lose on their record.) I have downgraded back to the old version for the time being. If this game does not improve then I will stop playing it.
