i love the tag team review! cant say the same for tiger 11 tho.
i got it used  at gaemstop to compare and contrast to tiger 10 and not much different with the main mode i play, career. plus only one extra course added from last year in terms of total 27 to 28
so i stuck with 10

 
u gotta tag team madden next.



yes, i know how that sounds.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis w/ M+

« on: June 22, 2009, 05:50:14 PM »

Well I won my first couple of matches, only losing to Serena Williams(challenge for her power serve), and I had all sort of problems with the control. It seemed like the M+ would only track what I was doing part of the time and constantly needed to be reset, often times in the middle of a match. I don't have that problem with Tiger Woods.

In TW M+ would track me fine for minutes at a time in regular golf and in disc golf(which I only played to test the tracking vs GST).
GST would work fine for the serve and the 1st return or two, but would need to be recalibrated again in the middle of the match.

tiger will track motion plus and your movements better based on the fact that it knows where u r in space.
in tennis, because of the movement, it does not.

Recalibrating is easy, simple and non intrusive, at least for me.

I spent a good hour or so last night following these tips and I had a lot less trouble with it. I still am annoyed with the ridiculously high barrier for entry. It looks like EA doesn't understand the fundamental rule of Wii Sports (easy to pick up and play) with GST and to a lesser extent, Tiger Woods.

I still have issues with my player going across court and getting into a near impossible backhand shot when I'm ready with the more realistic forehand.

Right now this game went from being the spawn of the devil to passably ok in my book.

nron, glad to see the game has gotten a bit more enjoyable for you.
it is a tough steep learning curve, i think Ea didnt want to make it easy, there is an option to take out motion plus and play with no nunchuk, which makes it very forgiving.

But there are loads of tennis fans looking for a closer representation of the subtle pro actions that is done in tennis.

for a debut, this is a very good game.
i cant wait to see how far along it is when its in the same itineration as Virtua Tennis is at now.

Hang in there nron!

try to think of the controller as an extension of your hand.

any questions ask away.

Ok

heres some tips from the GST forums.

these helped me immensely.

please, hang with this game thru the ups and downs!

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/242348.page



I too, took out motion control, then got Po'd when the guy didn't get to the exact spots I wanted him too.
SO i got back to basics. destined to figure out the Motion Plus.

Any problems anyone is having, ask your questions here. I'll try to help as I have seem to have gotten over the storm.

quality review.

i am starting my career tonight after having only done 5 tiger challenges to upgrade my CAP.

I don't care. lol

Baptism by fire.

Just need a Virtua Tennis/Grand Slam wii review showdown.


By the way, i LOVE LOVE LOVE this site design.
Very simple, clean and appleish.

Its not updated as much as other nintendo sites, but i find myself keeping it in my favorites because of the fantastic writing and overall look.

A few things. One, the first tournament or two might suck, but after that it'll be fantastic. I was really hating this game until I got past that hump.

Two, I'm about a day or so into playing GST for review, and I'll give you a preview: I don't like it at all. I hope VT09 is better.

Three, thanks for the kinds words. I think I speak for the rest of the staff when I say that this is all worth it for when someone says something nice about our work.

cool, I decided to kick off tiger on monday. Since it at bethpage and i have it set to weather on demand or whatever, it will probably be raining. great start.


I love gst tho i didnt like it for the first week, after i got used to how to grasp the difficult controls, and it was a STEEP learning curve, i was in tennis video game bliss.
No hyperbole, the best tennis game since mario tennis 64.

do it a fair justice and play it for a week or so, checking out ea forums and the like for tips on how to get the most out of the controls.

ea did a bad job at explaining things

as far as the compliments. no problem, thats the way i see it.
I can't imagine the other readers feeling any different about the site either.

this site is just a navigation dream.
i think other sites need to understand, more isnt always better.
My sense are dulled and worn out trying to get through many of the main pages of some of those sites.
nothing like going to a gaming site, and feeling like ur at some 13 year olds myspace page.
