More Rubbish On The Way For The Wii !

How about this quote from Peter Moore : “EA Sports has really only built a swimming pool with a deep end. It's intimidating for a lot of people to jump right in the deep end. So we're building a shallow end. “. He was talking about "All-Play", a new series of Wii-specific versions of FIFA, Tiger Woods, NBA, and Madden. In Madden, for example, you'll be able to use Mii characters and direct your team's movements by 'drawing' paths with the
Wii remote.
Sounds great in principle : making games easier for people so that they can enjoy their sports games without too much frustration, allowing them “to pick up and play and have fun immediately”, as Moore says. The problem is that many people will find this stuff offensive and patronising. It's almost as if EA are labelling a whole selection of gamers as idiots who need a controller with one button in order to make progress in their gaming. : and simply because they went out and bought a Wii console.
To me, its really about making money : squeezing more revenue from an already very successful brand name (EA Sports). Not only is it unimaginative but you can be pretty sure the end results will be games that are hastily made and developed at the cheapest price possible. EA are simply yet another company jumping on the Wii "profit bandwagon" by making sub standard software and they will get away with it because Nintendo don't seem to have any Quality Control over what is released for their console. Ironically, the main reason the Wii has succeeded is because the best software for it is made by Nintendo itself !
Finally, Peter Moore spoke of the need not to forget “ our core consumer” . In other words, the people who CAN handle complex and more difficult games (sometimes called “hardcore gamers”). Well, why not make one software title , ie “Tiger Woods Wii 09” that can be played by both by idiots and hardcore players ? On the main menu, the player could decide not only the difficulty level but whether they wanted a simple controller setting or a harder one?
That's a good idea : but I guess that would halve the potential profits...
