Career
Career play is a single-player game but all the gear, status, skills,
and sponsorships you earn will go with your player when you
choose to play Multiplayer games.
You begin your career as a rookie pro with the goal of becoming
a tennis legend. Progressing through all the stages of pro play is
not easy, but it is challenging, rewarding, and fun.
To start a career, select Career from the Main Menu, and then
select New Player to create a player.
P l a y e r C r e a t o r
The Player Creator is a powerful tool that allows you the
freedom to create a player with all the characteristics and
skills you want. The fi rst step is to choose a gender and a
DNA Sample.
Note that your gender, DNA Sample, and locale are chosen
at random but you may change these settings to suit your
own preferences.
After a few moments of genetic synthesis, your new player
will appear. If you’re happy with the look of your player, select
Begin Career to set up your play style, name, and starting locale.
Or, you can further customize your player through sculpting.
If you want to completely change the look of your player,
press

to generate a new player.
