Huh? What's all this about pointing at your character between shots to recalibrate the system...?

Most probably after each point, you'll have to point to your character / screen to recalibrate the default position, much like lidting your finger from the analog stick to the neutral position.

Ah, well that wouldn't be bad at all, imho, having to recalibrate after each point.

From that initial statement, it sounded like you had to point at the screen each and every time you hit a ball. :p That would be really, well, unplayable, so I found that quite hard to believe...

But pointing at the screen after every point you score doesn't sound like a big deal. :)

I'll just wait for the reviews and playtests to come in before deciding on either this or Grand Slam. I really like the sound of not having to press any buttons at all, instead of pressing A or B to affect what kind of shots you perform like in EA's game.

Both games look totally different too, and I'm not sure which look I prefer. :p We'll see.
