“Though I'm a big fan of the Tennis Elbow games, I was a bit sceptic about what could be that great to make this new version of the Tennis Manager worth to buy it. Well - my scepticism is gone. If you love sports manager…”
“If you are interested in tennis, this game will make you very happy. If you're not interested, you won't like it. 10/7”
“This is the game I was waiting my whole life. As a kid, I used to manually write tournament draws and seasons, with manual handling of results, champions, number of points, etc. I was always hoping for a game like this,…”

“Ok, so I bought the original twice (from managames, and then again on Steam when it arrived), and spent a long time unsure whether I'd gain enough from buying the new version despite having followed it for some time.…”
“This game is a massive achievement from what is about a 1,25-man team. Heavy focus on physics/that this is a simulation, it looks really good ... volleying, serving and ground strokes, basically all physical aspects are…”
“Just an outstanding game. If the idea of tennis management game sounds good to you, then it is hard to imagine how this could be better. Maybe a graphics or presentation update, but that feels like nitpicking as it gets…”

“I've now played this game for roughly 150 hours and I'm pleased to say that I love it. As far as tennis simulations go it's probably the best out there. Through both a real-time simulation and just quick simulation you…”
“I adore the TEM games, they are challenging, fascinating, and unlike a lot of sports games the challenge doesn't come close to ending when you reach #1. If you put in an honest effort in a TEM 2 you will discover the…”
“Nice game, and fair AI matches”

“Don't expect the depth and longevity of Football Manager or Out of the Park Baseball but Tennis Elbow Manager 2 has a better graphic engine than both! This is a fun and simple new tennis simulation worthy of a rally or…”
“This game takes a spot in my top two favorite sport management game so far along with the football manager franchise. The addition of a high quality 3d engine makes such a huge difference in immersion and fun, I dont…”
“After over 70 hours in TEM2 I feel it's an appropriate time to write a review. Firstly, the developer is amazing! Constant updates, improvements and regular communication answering user questions and suggestions (which…”

“Coming from football management, strategic and rpg gaming, this addictive tennis sim is sooo refreshingly juicy! - there is the career possibilities of a created lifetime character, - the role-playing tactics of a wide…”

“The career mode is fun to begin with, but as you get to the top of the rankings it becomes a chore trying to keep your stats at a high level and competitive with top players.”
“first of all. i don't understand tennis. But since play this game, i'm in love with tennis. this game can be improved further with further enhancement on the training facility (like to learn specific skill set, break…”

“Very enjoyable game, it's great watching your Tennis player rise up through the Rankings, and sometimes pull off a shock win. The only thing i would add is that if there is another version of Elbow Manager then it be…”
“Game is unbelievably dull on the management side. It's barely deep enough to be called a game at all. And no, that's not being harsh by any stretch. Just a bunch of stat bars to increase\decrease by passing time.…”

“I gave it a thumbs up because it is not a bad game at all, but it just isn't for me as I was looking more for a hardcore tennis simulation based manager. The menu's are really ugly, everything appears more childlike or…”
