I think there are 3 reasons why you haven't seen more sports games from EA on the Wii
- EA was not a heavy supporter of the Wii initially and didn't see the opportunities (how could you not have a boxing or tennis game on the Wii at launch?) and they haven't fully adjusted to the Wii's success yet.
- EA doesn't have the creative people to see interesting ways to make certain sports work on the Wii.
- And EA's unwillingness to use the Wii in a more conventional was makes it difficult to make certain sports work on the Wii.
Hockey (for example) shouldn't be that difficult to add some will controls to it ... Using Wiimote/Nunchuck you map B to shoot and A to pass, the analogue stick moves the player, if you want to pass to a particular player you point the Wiimote at the player and press A (otherwise it selects the closest player in the direction you're moving), to shoot you hold down the B button and you flick the Wiimote (a quick flick is a wrist shot and a long flick is a slapshot), to poke-check you get close to a player and 'poke' the Wiimote forward, to bodycheck a player you get close to the player an flick the Wiimote (the harder you flick it the harder the check is; timing is important if you want to be a feared checker).
