NHL 2K10 : Great Game if You Don't Use WiiMotion Plus Controler. Shooting is really hard.

We got a copy of NHL 2K10 from 2k sport the other week. The first week of gameplay was the most frustrating experience we've had with a sports game.

The simple act of shooting the damn puck wasn't easy or intuitive. The printed manual for the game is useless and the in-game tutorial omits instructions on how to shoot.

We looked through forum after forum and found no acceptable answer ..except for one.
Disable WiiMotion Plus.

Without the Wii Motion Plus this game works. Shooting the puck is a simple flick of the wrist and not some mystical imposible contortion.

The actual gameplay is slick, though a little challenging.  Scoring goals is not easy.

The Mii skills section -- which is something that other early reviews of the game were keen on - TOTALLY SUX AND ISN'T PLAYABLE. It's soo disappointing. We thought that the Mii part would be a great/easy way for kids to get into the game but 2K totally f*cked it up.

This is however the ONLY hockey game on the Wii so what choice do we have? The game is workable enough that it can be fun, but we're hoping that the Braniacs that run 2K get their shit together and make a better game next year that anyone can actually play right out of the box.
