This game blows. Even experienced players can't grasp these ridiculous controls.
sometimes the player does what you want, other times they've got minds of their own. the worst part by far is the kicking game. Half the time it doesn't kick and so you try to redo the motion, only to have it cut you off and do a half-@$$ kick that screws you.
The control scheme leaves much to be desired. The trivia is nice, as are the mini-games. But again, it all comes down to the control scheme. Without havinng relaible motions that can 100% do what they are meant to do, its never going to be a complete game.
And let me just add this, my friends who both own a wii and are great at any game on there involving a decent amount of motion (mario strikers, wii sports, dragonball z: tenchaichi 2) can't even consistently pull off moves and are shocked by just how glitchy the entire control scheme is.
I've played plenty a-Madden in the past, and this version for the Wii has to be rock bottom.
