You can try to out-drive John Daly or take corners faster than Jimmie Johnson, competing to see who the best really is.

- Players evolve by earning experience points (XP) during matches. XP can then be applied to specific gameplay styles in order to level them up.
- Coaches that players meet during the course of My Player will have specific goals and objectives for the player. There will be over 100 different coaches in Top Spin 4; some will develop player strengths while others will look to shore up weaknesses. As new coaches are met, any current coach can be replaced at any time.
