Big Ant Studio has a bit of a tough job trying to fill a niche market for tennis. They are in many ways the closest thing to a big-time developer creating a tennis game, but they don’t have the same big-money resources that 2K and EA have for games like Madden and NBA 2K. With that in mind, while the community for tennis titles may be smaller than that of say football, soccer or basketball, the community is just as passionate about its sport. People who are familiar with Big Ant Studio understand they are dealing with limited time and resources but are passionate about their projects. AO Tennis 2 is a healthy reminder of that.
