Thanks jpdavis82.

What are your thoughts on the Wii U version? Like the control mechanics? Not interested at all?

Looks like a PS3.2 game to me. Not interested at all. Maybe if they did a proper sequel to Mario 64, I'd be interested.

This gives me visions of a future where the arm bands that QB's wear will be thin, touch screen computers that allow said QB to literally show everyone in the huddle what the play is, what routes and what blocking assignments. It could revolutionize everything.

seems pretty impressive...probably have to use the pad in or. der to get the difference. I like it.

It's official, I think EA's clunky player models are the problem, the WiiU is a next gen console that's supposed to be more powerful that what the 360 and PS3 are. I've seen the Wii U graphics demo so the game should look better than just the exact same as the PS3.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

It's a port. Of course it looks the same. Madden's main target audience plays on 360 and PS3. Did you really expect a new engine for the WiiU?

Regardless of whether or not it was a new engine, I honestly didn't expect it would somehow look WORSE IMO.

Overall it's a mixed bag to me. The new control aspect is pretty cool and could have long term potentail to change the way games are played, although I have a hard time picturing people showing the same level of stick skills while holding that huge controller.

The negative we as consumers are still going to be stuck with games that look, play and operate based on the capabilities of the weakest system. IMO that is not good for the consumer.

[RustyShark]

Many of the dev's working with WiiU have said the power is about on par with PS3/360. I wouldn't expect next gen graphics.

If that's the case I dont even understand the existance of a system like the Wii U.

[misterkrabz]

If my jumps when I push the button I'm interested. If it's laggy an unresponsive like current game Madden then no.

Guys I was able to try out the WiiU this past weekend and I can tell y'all that the new controller is surprisingly comfortable. I've always thought of how cool it would be to play Madden with a screen on the controller to call plays, hot routes, etc. I'll be double dipping and getting the WiiU and 360 versions.

More importantly, once Sony advertises the PSVita being used as a controller for the PS3, then wouldn't that kind of destroy the Wii U.

Nope..PSMOVE didnt stop the regular Wii. Plus in order to do that sony would have to build it from ground up. And besides who would want to work on a dying system such as the vita?
