Does anyone else have it? I need someone to play online, my persona is cliffsteele

I think you need to post a friend code for that.

[Cliff Steele]

nah, it uses the ea nation website, no friend codes involved

That's awesome :o

Too bad sports games are boring, or I would get this for a Nintendo game with decent online setup!

you should at least give it a rental, for a sports game especially it's not bad at all, I'm really impressed so far with all the work that EA has put into motion control. You can perform running moves with the nunchuk and the wiimote and the passing system is pretty cool, you snap the ball by pulling up on the wiimote, then you make a throwing motion, high up and slow for a lob pass, normal speed and about eye level for a normal pass, or just flip it really fast for a bullet pass. The only problem I've encountered on offense is you have to be careful when you snap the ball not to flip your wrist downward or it will throw a quick pass immediately, that'll probably be intercepted.

On defense I really wish they would have let you just point at a player to change, but that's my only major gripe there, to do a big hit you jam the controller forward in a stabbing motion, and to swat balls down you just throw forward with the wiimote.


With the lack of online games for wii, it's not a bad choice especially solid motion control

It's guitar woman, Cliff. You don't want to be playing games with him.

I don't have the Wii but I'm always up for a game of Tecmo Super Bowl.
