Well, I don't know after seeing the Madden Wii impressions and some of the vids.

The gameplay looks really top notched and like they took a lot of effort to make it Wii- specialized. Even going as far to include some exclusive features.

Here is a video of it.

On the same hand, they have also seemed to work on some pretty interesting controls for NFS. I mean most folks have went the route of hold the Wii-Mote horizontally and you kbow control that way. Which is nice and all, but there options just seem.. I guess more realistic and they give you plenty of options.

Here is a look....

An article that talks about the controls.
And a choice quote...
LaPierre's team worked closely with Nintendo of America on additional the controller configurations. "People like options, and we felt motivated to provide them," he says. "We found three that worked and 20 that didn't." He also added that EA's most recent focus group on this title preferred the Wii version to those on PS3 and 360 because "when they were in control, they felt like they were in control, and when they were out of control, they felt like they were out of control."

**** you EA, you should've hired me.

Seriously, I should've said I liked sports games more. What was I thinking. I could've been doing this.
