TopSpin 2K25 Patch Addresses Wide Serves, Steam Deck Optimization and More - Patch Notes

A new patch for TopSpin 2K25 has been released today across all platforms. This update rebalances the serve attribute, aiming to reduce the frequency of highly effective wide serves. The patch also includes optimizations for Steam Deck users and introduces several tweaks and fixes for MyCAREER mode. Check out the patch notes below for more details.

Serve Balancing

• The Serve attribute plays a bigger role in the outcome (power and precision) of each serve
• Hitting wide serves (close to the sideline) is now riskier:
• The spread is bigger when aiming wide than when aiming in the center.
• The ball is more likely to go in the net if the spread extends too far beyond the sideline. This change better represents the added risk of aiming wide and trying to go over the higher part of the net. This only affects flat and slice power and advanced serves.
• The perfect timing window on serves is a little shorter
• Slightly limited how far from the center of the court the server can move before serving
• Sliding swing animations have been disabled for returns of serve

MyCAREER

• Increased the time and failed shot limits for “Serve Bullseye” and “Shot Selector” training event in MyCAREER, to allow players with low/mid serve attribute to more successfully complete the event
• Updated MyCAREER energy warning to be more descriptive before committing to an event
• Addressed reported concerns with hiring coaches

Steam Deck

• Steam Deck-specific optimizations

General

• Additional game stability improvements
