- How the legendary players compare to today's players as far as styles of play and how that is handled in the game

- What classic matches are included in the game and whether or not new classics will be able to be added

- How fun it was to deal with working with John McEnroe for his various parts in the game

- How realistic the career mode is (whether or not you will be able to jump right into playing the Grand Slam tournaments with your created player)

- Which players can be used in the online modes

- The details of all of the online modes that are available
