Wii Want NCAA Football and Wii Want It Now
EA Sports, the division of Electronic Arts that handles the sports franchises of video gaming, has decided to stop working on NCAA Football for the Wii. While the Wii is not the traditional video gaming platform, it outsells PS3 and Xbox 360 by over 20 million units worldwide. It seems that EA should really see that their best interest lies in publishing the game for the Wii.
Obviously the issues are with the motion controls of the Wii system causing such horrible titles as Tiger Woods All Play and that goofy football game with the oversized bobble-head players. One would think that they should hire programmers that think in multiple levels. While the Wii remote has less buttons than other systems, two immediate thoughts come to mind. First, the nunchuk adds versatility and extra buttons. Secondly, other titles have developed controllers gamers buy with the titles.
Hello!!!! Wouldn’t every NCAA video gamer by a plastic nerf sized football that feels like a miniature version of the real thing and has a bunch of buttons on it that connects to the nunchuk? It would be incredibly easy to map three dimensional controls for offensive plays. For special teams it should also be logical conformations perhaps mimicking a football kick off or punt and perhaps holding the ball is if running a punt return using the Wii balance board for the running speed. Defense would be more of a challenge but I am sure they can overcome it.

With all of the extras being made for the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series plus extra being formed for first person shooter games, why can’t we do the same for Football. Hey, EA Sports! 50 million units sold worldwide and most gamers interested in football own both NCAA and Madden. If you make a football control customized to each video game, you would sell twice the extras! Please, for the love of profits, and the sanity of those of us starving for NCAA gaming, make it already!
