I can't believe the complaints about the controls. This game is fun and way more challenging than the 360/PS3 version.
I skipped the 07 version for the Wii because of the a lot of complaints regarding the accuracy of the controls. I cannot compare 08 to 07, but I can say that the controls are very accurate on 08. My player does exactly what I do with the controllers. If some of you are having trouble with them, then either you are an incompetent console football player or maybe you are playing on a flat screen that is is introducing some lag. The controls do take a lot of practice to master, so I suggest using the practice mode and go through the tutorials before you ever play a game. The controls are very accurate and fun if you take the time to learn them, unlike the same old button smashing on PS3/360.
Graphics
The graphics are pretty bad even by Wii standards. The cut scenes look pretty good, but on field characters are disappointing. The glitch that the Gamespot review referenced with the blurry screen is avoidable if you don't hit the A button like it says to on the screen. Hopefully EA will actually use the power of the Wii next year.
Conslusion
Fun, innovative and a nice change of pace from the boring PS3/360 version. You really have to like football and understand that this is the Wii version, which obviously didn't get as much development time as the other versions, then you will have a good time playing this game. I guarantee your non-wii playing friends who have the PS3/360 version would get their ass handed to them when they can't mash buttons on their simplistic gamepads.
