[edit] Sources for players

Where is the information about the player list from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonidas1982 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. In examining the articles about the game it appears the only confirmed players are Federer, Nalbandian, Berdych, Monfils, Blake, Henin and Sharapova. Unless someone can show another source, thatSmall Text's it. Agrippina Minor (talk) 21:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
As much as I would like to see those players in the game, lets try as much to keep the article accurate.--Leonidas1982 (talk) 16:07, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

According to Official PlayStation Magazine, all these players are confirmed, as well as Amelie Mauresmo----Hammerandclaw (talk) 14:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Where did the person who posted these characters get their information from. An internet link needs to be posted or some sort of evidence sited. It seems strange that characters are appearing on this page one by one. Gasquet was added yesterday and Djokovic added three days ago. Where is this info coming from.

I, myself, am curious. Apart from Federer, Blake, Nalbandian, Monfils, and a few others, which are on offical screenshots, I am not sure which source has the other players.--Leonidas1982 (talk) 14:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

This is not, put your favorite player on the list of playable characters. Unless they are in a screenshot or an article reviewing or previewing the game they should not be listed. For instance...where are Ivanovic, Djokovic and Marcos Bhagdadis coming from. I read every article cited and they are not listed or pictured. Agrippina Minor (talk) 18:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

For Christ sakes look at the Top Spin 3 UK website, its at the bottom of the first page you come to, all the players in this article are here.--Hammerandclaw (talk) 10:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

According to the TeamXbox description, http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1803/Top-Spin-3/, it appears that online multiplayer is supported for only up to 2 players. I'm interpreting that to mean they will not support doubles on Xbox Live, since that specification would read '1-4 players', and if that is so, well that just sucks. My friends and I wasted many, many joyous hours of our lives ranking up in online doubles matches in the original Topspin. Topspin 2 supported online doubles, but didn't keep track of ranking (unless they updated the server since I last tried it), and now Topspin 3 only supports up to 2 players? I hope they've got that wrong.--DrDubb (talk) 21:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confirmed

Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Maria Sharapova are confirmed. http://www.tothegame.com/boxshot.asp?picnum=uk&id=7042 --Leonidas1982 (talk) 22:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Rafael Nadal, James Blake, David Nalbandian, Tomáš Berdych, Paul-Henri Mathieu, Gaël Monfils. http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=2752 , http://www.gamersyde.com/news_5660_en.html --Leonidas1982 (talk) 22:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Good work Leonidas, it seems all the past included players are no longer there (i.e Ferrer, Djokovic, Ivanovic,Baghdatis etc.) Anyone know why this is?--Hammerandclaw (talk) 17:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, but I am not pleased with the roster so far. I have a feeling that more players are to be announced.--Leonidas1982 (talk) 00:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I would imagine so. Who posted this comment? You Leonidas?--Hammerandclaw (talk) 22:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. Although its weird that Nadal is PS3 exclusive.--Leonidas1982 (talk) 00:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh know. IGN says that this is the 'full' roster. Please someone assure me that IGN is sometimes wrong or that they have made an error. PLEASE! There HAS to be more players.121.218.84.205 (talk) 03:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

There's more, look at the Top Spin 3 UK, site, says there'll be more soon.--Hammerandclaw (talk) 14:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah but that's not even an official site. And look at the press release. This is unfortunately the full roster though I'd love someone to prove me otherwise. 20 characters is all we are getting. This is actually worse than the Virtua Tennis 3 roster.121.218.84.205 (talk) 06:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

A full on discussion/protest about the top spin roster has kicked off at topspin3.co.uk take a look, madness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andyleem (talk • contribs) 21:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and I just contributed to it. I encourage anyone and everyone to contribute to the discussion and contribute to any other discussion you can find so that this pathetic roster might get changed. Many people have also emailed 2K Sports to notify them of their disgust. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.84.205 (talk) 00:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

This is the beginning of something beautiful; gamers deciding and demanding what they want to play. Nothing will be shove down our throats. Our money goes into buying this game. It is time these companies start producing what gamers want. No excuses, no apologies, just deliver.--Leonidas1982 (talk) 04:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
