my favorite feature is being able to flip through playbooks
"EA's focus on Wii U as just another casual-driven device like the Wii has got me worried."
Would they have put mass effect 3 on wii u if they only cared about the casuals?
I dont.

That could be a damn cool feature! If it doesn't make it over as a PS3/Vita function the WiiU will become my to to Madden system!
Does anyone remember how cool it was in 1999, when you could select plays on your Dreamcast VMU for NFL 2K?
I can't imagine trying to aim at a specific part of the net after kicking the ball in Fifa. Does time slow down so you can take your hand off the side of the controller and manipulate the screen or something? Or are you just supposed to slide one of your thumbs over to one of the corners of the net?
Anyway, the rest sounds pretty cool.

ME3 is a quick and easy port. If EA really wanted to focus on Wii U development, much more stuff would have been in the pipeline that isn't just ports.

but is it for casuals? no
1) They probably would keep things secret like these things have been
2) I think the days of EA exclusives are long over.
3) Multiplats, not ports.
4) Have a wonderful weekend

Using the touchpad to physically play a sports game like this will never work IMO. It'll just be cumbersome and annoying. Selecting plays and managing your team is actually pretty useful. You play it off like it's pointless, but it's not. Especially when you have local multiplayer and you don't want to tip your hand to your opponent.
...except the Wii U won't have dual gamepad support at launch. God dammit Nintendo. I don't want your stupid piece of shit, but I try so hard to play devil's advocate and give you the benefit of the doubt. Fucking help me out here.

He didn't say they didn't. He's referring to Nintendo's "depth" of asymmetrical multiplayer where one person in a local game can secretly choose a play on the tablet, and the other can'tbecause it's broadcasted on the TV... And that almost defeats the whole point.
Not really, when most people play games by themselves, anyway, which was the point, now someone can play the game, watch the tv or do whatever.
Now this isnt everyone, but for me the games I want, I would never play locally more than just myself.

You ever dormed at a college or university before? Not a condescending question, I'm being serious. I know a lot of people who commute to class so they never get to experience that. Spend a semester at any of the hundreds of major universities in America that house thousands of students each, and you'll find 360s and PS3s everywhere with copies of NBA 2K and Madden going almost constantly.
So long story short, yes. Local multiplayer for sports games is still a major feature, as is local multiplayer as a whole. The majority of people with a current gen game console don't actively connect it online, if ever. Even if you discount the Wii.
