Lol.
And not @Rol, I feel sad for sports game devs having to port games down to the Wii -- it's honestly not that the Wii is a last-gen architecture resurrected, but rather that this generation's game engines are looking for a good 256MB main RAM and 256MB for the GPU. Squeezing both the game and the models/textures/etc. into the 64/27MB the Wii h as is pretty hard to do, when you have to start from a much larger source.
Wii games look best when they're designed around the Wii in the first place. If this game engine had been designed around the Wii architecture, and ported *up* to the HD consoles, it would look much better on the Wii, I guarantee, and it probably would look nearly the same on the HD consoles (the same as they look now, not "the same as the Wii" -- they would still be somewhat better, of course).
Also, adapting the controls to be Wii-friendly, when coming from a tried-and-true console gamepad perspective on sports games, is... hard. Real hard, except perhaps in the case of baseball, where having two analog sticks isn't really necessary. The gamepad style controller was invented after the mouse/pointing-device... and it *does* have a place in gaming. It never would have survived if it didn't.
