With all its woes, AO Tennis 2 is still a vibrant and fun game to play.
Truth be told, AO Tennis 2 is not the best tennis game that I have ever played. It is, however, a solid attempt at a simulation-style sports game.
The most recent patch has to a small degree helped correct some of the issues in regards to errors and animations. Let's hope the developers continue to support the game and make it stronger as time goes on. I think it's fair to think they will considering how much post-release effort went into the original AO Tennis.
A solid, but still returnable, second serve that could use a little more mechanical tinkering.
Overall, Big Ant Studios and Bigben Interactive’s AO Tennis 2 is a great title. With the only real issue being the load times, playing either singles or doubles for any amount of time whether a quick set or a couple of them is great fun either against the CPU, your friends, or the scary people online that make things look way too easy like Ryouma in the Prince of Tennis.
AO Tennis 2 can be a hell of a lot of fun, but if you're easily annoyed by some inconsistent controls and a steep learning curve, you're better off avoiding this one.
For me, AO Tennis 2 is equipped with some useful innovations that at least increase long-term motivation. In terms of gameplay, not much has changed from the previous part, but this was not necessary either. Rather, you worked on the scope and everything around it, so you are now working on your professional tennis player in a fun career mode and getting better and better. Unfortunately, the visual presentation is still the biggest weak point of the game, but you can get over it because of the gameplay. If you are looking for a good tennis game, AO Tennis 2 is definitely the right place. If you already own the first part, you should definitely consider buying it because of your extended career. If you only want to play matches, then the first part is probably enough. The upgrade was definitely worth it for me.

I can definitively say the game has more positives than negatives and feels less raw than its predecessor, but it still isn’t as complete as other sports titles.
AO Tennis 2 is this generation's Top Spin 4. It takes over a baton that has been carried through mis-steps and let-downs as tennis fans young and old finally have a game worth their time and effort. It's not perfect by any stretch but up against the competition and its predecessor it stands head-and-shoulders above them.
Let’s face it, when it comes to sports titles, let alone more serious sports sims, the Switch library is a bit of a wasteland...
The career mode and creation tools are the best parts of AO Tennis 2, but the gameplay struggles to keep up its end of the bargain
AO Tennis 2 is a bright, likeable tennis sim with bags of room to grow, and as it stands is easily the best tennis game of this generation.
AO Tennis 2 is a good-looking tennis title with plenty of things to tinker and tweak with. However the fiddly controls and limited roster mar the experience.
Enter the competition if you want to beat some good tennis players. There are some improvements, but it is still not enough.

AO Tennis 2 is very friendly to newbies, but also challanging to experienced users. The editor is powerful and you can download whole sets of stars created by the community. The matches are fun, but the career is quite boring.

AO Tennis 2 presents itself as a realistic tennis simulation and on the Nintendo Switch, that's enough to stand out and set a high threshold. Unfortunately the overall experience turns out to be a disappointment. Despite a well-executed career mode and a helpful player creation tool, the gameplay in AO Tennis 2 feels disproportionately difficult, while its cast of players doesn't make much sense. Adding to that, its visual environment belongs to a previous time and its performance issues harm the experience even more. Players looking for a sharp and exquisite tennis simulation on the Switch will walk out disappointed.

AO Tennis 2 can often feel like reaching Top Spin 4 levels of quality, but it still lacks on one of the most important ones: gameplay. Imprecise controls and an awful AI makes this game really hard to recommend.
