I’ve been struggling for a few days with Grand Slam Tennis on the Wii - my first experience with ‘Motion Plus’. Thing is, I’m rubbish at tennis in real life. Wii Sports tennis was really workaround the limitations of the initial Wii controller and traded on the fun people had doing big swings. This game is a different kettle of fish - realistic tracking of swings for accurate placement meant someone so Tennisically-challenged would really have problems with it. Then I saw this video and it all became clear.
The thing is, EA had to scale back the 1:1 tracking since a game where you had to play against Federer would simply be too difficult if it expected you to be very precise - therefore, there’s a few knacks to the control mechanism. Once you’ve seen this video, it should all fall into place.
