Hello again Tennis and TIEBREAK fans!
Right from the very start of TIEBREAK Early Access 1 we have received extensive gameplay feedback from you, the TIEBREAK community, on the Big Ant Forum and Steam discussion channels around all aspects of the game. We’ve been able to take onboard many of the ideas discussed and have implemented a number across each update, including this one. As we’ve said before, and no doubt will repeat again, we really appreciate the constant feedback and discussion generated after each update. We’re all ears, please continue to tell us your likes, dislikes, and ideas - we look forward to our collaboration to continuing to produce what we believe will be the biggest and best Tennis game to date!
Without further ado, welcome to TIEBREAK Early Access 4!

2 - Adrenaline Skills:
TIEBREAK Early Access 4 sees the addition of Adrenaline Skills, a completely new gameplay feature. Adrenaline Skills allow you to modify your strokes and movement during matches. Adrenaline accumulates during matches, Applying power to a shot, winning contested points such as clutch points, long rallies, and breakpoints will all add to the Adrenaline Bar. Used for both offensive or defensive purposes, Adrenaline allows for greater, deeper strategy during points, to help you recover or play that winner at just the right time.
To execute Adrenaline Skills, hold down RB, and press one of the stroke buttons (Y, X, A). The amount of adrenaline required and consumed whenever executing shots is displayed on corresponding icons.
Note: This feature will be expanded to allow further customisation in TIEBREAK Early Access 5.
3 - Stamina:
TIEBREAK Early Access 4 implements a stamina bar to display your fatigue levels throughout a match. Your Stamina will be directly affected by the amount of power applied to your strokes, on-court movement, and lunges.
Stamina can be regained while stationary during points, resting after games and at the end of each set. You will notice that as the Stamina bar is depleted your movement around the court will be impacted.
4 - Nitto Finals:
Experience the end-of-Year ATP Tournament, the Nitto Finals. Take on the current best in the world in round-robin and knockout tournaments to determine who is truly the champion!

TIEBREAK Early Access 4 sees the addition of all remaining ATP/WTA 1000 tournaments to online. Fight to the top of the leaderboard for each tournament, add ranking points to your overall season tally and make World Number 1!
Note: Each scheduled tournament will last two days for those who want to take their online gameplay to the next level.
Closing Remarks:
For those who have already taken part in TIEBREAK Early Access, we hope you find that this update reflects the direction you have given. We do still have so much more planned for future updates, and we would love for you to continue with us on this journey, and while a lot has been achieved, we know there is still a road ahead as we focus on animation and gameplay.
Your continued support and feedback ensure we are moving in the right direction and improving the game with each of the updates.
