WMP doesn’t give you a competitive advatange in multiplayer

EA has said that its upcoming sports games using Wii MotionPlus will not give gamers a competitive multiplayer advantage over those who do not have the add-on. Doesn’t

“We didn’t want to make it more beneficial for players who have MotionPlus,” said Grand Slam Tennis producer Thomas Singleton. “It’s just different.”

Differences between the two options of control will boil down to feeling and mechanics.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Grand Slam Tennis are the first ones to use WMP, and both hits stores June 8.

then please explain to me the consumer what the point in buying it is ? If it doesn’t improve things or give you any beneficial effects using it then I don’t need it at all.

Heh, that does make it sound a bit useless. I guess this is more about getting the addon into homes than really taking advantage of it though, which will come with the games that release later.

Shatner, most things these days are variants of The Emperor’s New Clothes. You only need to turn the TV on for a few seconds or scan a newspaper to see this.
