OK, so I just tried out this game, & I have to agree w the OP, the controls are terrible. I know EA said it's not 1 to 1 but this game can't even recognize if my hand is in a forehand or backhand position all the time.
Another classic example of why u should rent / pirate games before buying them. I wonder what kind of cool swag the IGN Nintendo team got for giving it such a positive review. Disgraceful.
