AWESOME! This sounds so damn fun. PLEASE have handball!

EA graphics = not even trying.

I'm a little concerned they have yet to announce original IPs aimed at the older market...but this is still good?

Tether Ball could be the sleeper hit of the Fall.

But where's the Wi-Fi multiplayer play EA?!?! This is FALL. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE WITHOUT WI-FI!

Dodgeball sounds like a recipe for more broken TVs and faces.

The character design is really bad. Everything else looks good, though.

The first shot with the characters looked pretty bad. But the school wide shot actually makes the game look pretty good. I hope they keep it looking like that. Wifi multiplayer would have made this a lot more interesting. If someone can just make an online multi of wii sports, that'd be insane. I've been wanting to school my friend in boxing and tennis so bad... but atleast its good to see some games being made. Wonder what other EA games are coming... I've liked Madden and Blur a ton so far.

This is not quite the Burnout Paradise i was expecting.

Why are people complaining about the visuals? Anyone take a look at Wiisports lately? That game is a perfect example that you can have less than stellar visuals but it doesn't really matter.

Needs "Four square"

But use a tennis ball, US system is to soft with rubber balls

The character design reminds me of that awful My Street game for PS2, but unlike My Street, this could be damn fun.

Oh goddamnit. This is exactly the game that I and my friend have been planning on making once we got out of college. Freaking EA taking an awesome idea... back to the drawing board.

Hear of a title called Boogie? That seems to be aimed at adults (the same way The Nightmare Before Christmas and Invader Zim were aimed towards older fans).

NW, don't just drop one idea because someone else is doing it. If this type of game is what you want to do, think about ways of doing that may be unique. Though it may be difficult to think of something differentiates itself from EA's project, perhaps you can realize something deeper, that will make it much better and a much more valuable of an experience. Even adding a deep story into what seems like a shallow game might do worlds for it. But let me say, if you have a unique idea, and someone else confirms they have the same idea, you shouldn't just drop it, especially if you don't want to. Just work on doing what you think is best, and unless you're insane, like David Jaffe, it will probably work out after time.

Of course, if you were planning this game on the premise that it would be one-of-a-kind, just throw what I said out of the window, and brainstorm some other things.

They need to ditch the Scary Garbage Pail Kids looking characters and just replace them with Miis. Everything else is fine but those characters are going to kids or me nightmares.

Yeah, that character design scares the living daylights outta me.

I guess that means we gotta concentrate on finishing college first before more of our ideas are stolen, right?

Well yeah. Don't be a foo', stay in schoo'. Drink your drugs, do your milk, don't do homework.
