Overall, we recommend upgrading these TopSpin 2K25 attributes in this order:
- Forehand
- Power
- Backhand
- Serve
- Stamina
- Speed
- Volley
- Reflexes
In our MyCAREER guide, we did recommend upgrading all points evenly. However, if you’d rather, we ranked all Attributes from our favorite to least favorite, especially for those just starting.
Firstly, Forehand, Backhand, and Power are the most important attributes for players just beginning their TopSpin 2K25 MyCareer. After all, you’ll need to be effective at both forehand and backhand moves to keep the game alive. Furthermore, better power will upgrade your Forehands and backhands even more. Additionally, it also boosts the power of serves.
After you upgrade those three, it becomes a choice of preference. Personally, we like upgrading Serve and Stamina. Better serves mean better chances to serve Aces. More Stamina means less resting and more competing without the risk of losing your global or race ranks. Regardless, both definitely serve a purpose in making your MyPLAYER consistently better.
Speed is definitely important, especially once you get into tougher competitions on harder difficulties. The last thing you want is to be running back and forth while your opponent loses little to none of their stamina. Therefore, more speed allows you to reposition faster.
Volleys are nice, but I wouldn’t say crucial to winning games. And Reflexes are always nice to upgrade, but you can wait until later to improve that attribute. While useful, it’s not needed at every actual moment during a match.
TopSpin 2K25 – All Attributes & What They Do
TopSpin 2K25 features eight different Attributes for the player to upgrade:
- Forehand – Influences quality of aiming and the probability of unforced errors on the forehand side. Additionally, it slightly influences the power of forehands.
- Backhand – Influences quality of aiming and the probability of unforced errors on the backhand side. Additionally, it slightly influences the power of backhands.
- Serve – Influences the quality of aiming and the probability of errors on serve. Additionally, greatly influences the power of serves.
- Volley – Influences the ability to hit a volley with precision and the probability of unforced errors
- Power – Greatly influences power of Forehands & Backhands. Additionally, it slightly influences the power of serves.
- Speed – Influences speed of movement during repositioning or when moving towards the ball
- Stamina – Influences how quickly the player gets tired during a rally and during a match. Furthermore, fatigue influences the speed of movement and quality of all shots (precision, power, error, probability)
- Reflexes – Influences the quality of shots performed when the ball is coming very fast at the player
To upgrade your MyPLAYER, simply press navigate to your MyPLAYER Page, where you can distribute AP however you’d like. If you want to earn AP faster, we recommend using XP Tokens and playing on harder difficulties once you get used to the game.
That wraps up everything you need to know about attributes and which ones to upgrade. We hope this guide helped you identify the best attributes to focus on, as well as what they all do. If you’re looking for more TopSpin 2K25 content, check out our MyCAREER and Academy Guides.

'Get out of here': Andy Roddick’s blistering response to Chris Evert detractors
Andy Roddick is famous for being blunt and remains in the news after launching his podcast, "Served with Andy Roddick." It is a place where the 42-year-old has spoken in detail about several issues affecting the tennis world, both on and off the court. Recently, Roddick was involved in a heated debate, questioning the greatness of former players compared to the current era. That debate began with some tennis enthusiasts on various platforms questioning Chris Evert’s greatness, stating that the former world number one would have struggled to find success playing against the current crop of players, who are faster and stronger than those of the 1970s and 80s. Roddick was having none of that criticism and stated that people do not have the right to question a player who has won 157 titles in their illustrious career. “Chrissy missed one ball a decade when the head of your racket was as big as the hat on my head,” said Roddick. “You can miss me with the f------ looking backwards. The ball control, she could literally land it on a dime and not miss for days. Get out of here.” Evert is widely regarded as one of the greatest player in the history of women’s tennis, having won as many as 18 Grand Slam titles in her career. She remained the world number one in women’s tennis for 260 weeks, which is the fourth-highest in the list of players who finished number one for the most weeks in WTA rankings. She is only behind Steffi Graf (377 weeks), Martina Navratilova (332 weeks) and Serena Williams (319 weeks). Sheer dominance Evert’s first-ever major title triumph was the French Open in 1974, where she defeated China’s Olga Morozova in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-2. Her last major triumph also came at the Roland Garros 12 years later when she defeated Navratilova in the final with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. After that triumph, Evert played in the eight semifinals of Grand Slams but only managed to book a place in the final once, which was in 1988 at the Australian Open, where she lost to former world number one Graf in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 7-6. Despite winning 18 major titles in her career, Evert did not manage to win more than two Grand Slams in a single year. Interestingly, Evert achieved all that despite playing just six times at the Australian Open in her 18-year-long career. She ended up winning the competition twice, in 1982 when she defeated Navratilova in the final, and then two years later, when she got the better of the Czech Republic’s Helena Sukova. Evert’s most successful competition was the French Open, where she lifted the title seven times. Out of the 78 matches she played in that competition, she won 72 and lost just six. She finished with a win percentage of over 90 percent. The US Open was highly successful for Evert as well, as he lifted the title on six occasions. It was the only major competition in her career where she was never knocked out before the quarterfinals stage. Four of those six titles were released consecutively from 1975 to 1978. In contrast, she played in 16 consecutive semifinals at the US Open before eventually being knocked out before the last-four stage in 1987 after losing to fellow American Lori McNeil. Overall, Evert played 336 matches in Grand Slams, where she won 299 of them and suffered just 37 defeats. Other than the Grand Slams, Evert won four Tour Finals (1972, 1973, 1975 and 1977). She won three Grand Slams in the doubles category as well, to go with eight Fed Cup titles. However, one thing that Evert failed to achieve was winning a gold medal for her country in the Olympics. Her best outing was losing in the third round to Italy’s Raffaella Reggi during the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
Las Vegas Raiders End Christian Wilkins’ Tenure — Raider Nation Reacts
Las Vegas Raiders fans were shocked to learn that their team had parted ways with Christian Wilkins, their prized 2024 offseason acquisition. Let’s take a look at the reactions on social media, particularly from Raider Nation. In what can be described as the first “shocking” development of training camp, Raiders brass (spearheaded by general manager John Spytek) opted to go in a different direction. Well, that’s putting it nicely. The official statement was uncompromising. “We have decided that it is in the best interest of the organization to move on from Christian Wilkins and he has been informed of this release from the team. This franchise has a ‘Commitment to Excellence’ on and off the field. With no clear path or plan for future return to play from Christian, this transaction is necessary for the entire organization to move forward and prepare for the new season.” —Raiders statement on Wilkins’ release Here’s the thing: it’s not such a simple story. Wilkins and the Raiders originally agreed to a $110 million contract last offseason. On Thursday, the team opted to designate him as a terminated, vested veteran. Basically, he’s not subject to waivers. If you recall, Wilkins only played in five games last season before a foot injury took him out. Upon entering training camp, the Raiders placed him on the PUP list—naturally, that cast doubt as to whether he’d be available for the start of the season. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders took issue with how Wilkins went about rehabbing after his surgery. As a result, the team voided what was left of his $35.2 million in guaranteed money. Also of note was that league insider Ian Rapoport stated that the organization wanted him to undergo another surgery but Wilkins declined. He opted to rehab his foot without additional surgery. Now, the Raiders will be without former general manager Tom Telesco’s prized free agent signing. Raider Nation, as we all know, had a lot to say and didn’t hold back. Raider Nation reacts to shocking Christian Wilkins news… At the end of the day, whether Wilkins plays this season and how the Raiders perform will lead us to revisit this story at some point. Clearly, this means we won’t have a quiet offseason without drama. Right, folks? *
Canucks Reportedly Interested in Former Third-Overall Pick as Another Young Player Could Leave the Team
The Canucks are reportedly quite interested in Ducks' Mason McTavish, this news coming after one of their young NCAA players, Jackson Kunz, could leave the team. With $3.25 million of free cap space now available after Dakota Joshua was sent to Toronto, the Vancouver Canucks and GM Patrik Allvin have room to add a significant piece, and it seems that they may be after a former third overall choice. Vancouver is interested in Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish, a restricted free agent, reports The Province's Patrick Johnston. 'Hence their continued interest in Roslovic, as well as their interest in Mason McTavish, the Anaheim Ducks' restricted free agent. Of course adding McTavish, the third-overall pick in the 2021 draft, will be very hard: he's a highly-regarded player with huge upside and will cost a big price in trade, perhaps more than the Canucks can afford.' Johnston said. It won't be an easy feat to get him due to asset limitations and Anaheim's stance on his next deal, but the 22-year-old would be a perfect fit as the Canucks' second-line center. After playing his inaugural 20-goal NHL campaign, McTavish offers skill and grit, two qualities that the Canucks may covet during a playoff push. While a few large-name players are available on the free market, Vancouver is considering trades as well as free agent solutions in the latter half of the offseason. Making a bold move for a player like McTavish wouldn't be out of character with the needs of the team. The Canucks need to sign their important NCAA prospect by August 15th Meanwhile, the Canucks are also under pressure in another direction. The deadline on August 15th is coming up to sign NCAA prospects graduating after four years. If they don't sign them, they'll become unrestricted free agents. The key concern is forward Jackson Kunz. If he isn't signed by August 15, 2025, he'll land on the open market. In the midst of a potential blockbuster trade and looming NCAA deadlines, the next several weeks can be make-or-break for Vancouver.
Dodgers Predicted to Acquire $4.175 Million All-Star, Gold Glove Outfielder in Blockbuster Trade
If any team around the league is set to strike a blockbuster deal ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, it's the Los Angeles Dodgers. While the defending champions are expected to make a splash this summer, there's uncertainty as to where LA will look to upgrade the roster. The Dodgers could quite frankly use additions in several areas of the roster, including the bullpen, starting rotation, and lineup. Tanner Scott's ongoing struggles has stirred speculation that the front office will add a reliever this summer. Additionally, Scott and Michael Kopech are both injured, which leaves the bullpen short two high-leverage arms. Beyond the bullpen, the Dodgers are still missing two staples of their rotation in Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki. However, both pitchers appear to be headed for a return to the team down the stretch. Therefore, ESPN insider David Schoenfield believes the Dodgers will look to acquire an outfielder and a leadoff hitter in Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians. "The reasoning here: Michael Conforto just hasn't worked out," Schoenfield writes. "The Dodgers have given him 300 plate appearances and he's hitting under .200, plus he's not a good left fielder. They could also use a leadoff hitter. They just moved Mookie Betts there in front of Shohei Ohtani, looking to get Betts going, but Betts just hasn't been an offensive force in 2025 and shouldn't be hitting at the top of a lineup right now. Kwan would fix both issues and give them a nice OBP guy in front of Ohtani while providing a major defensive upgrade." While the Dodgers have been linked to Kwan, it remains to be seen whether the Guardians are willing to part ways with the Gold Glover. ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel gave just a 20 percent chance that Kwan would be traded. The All-Star outfielder is under team control through 2027, and is due $4.1 million this season. The Dodgers could send a large haul of prospects to Cleveland, as the organization has one of the best farm systems in MLB. However, the Dodgers are reportedly unwilling to move top prospects such as Dalton Rushing and Alex Freeland.
