Previously assumed it was impossible but was a bit bored and whilst I was contemplating the wiimote I realised it MIGHT be possible and would like to see other neoGAF ideas on how football games might work on Wii. I'm actually really excited at the prospect now and only hope developers have been creative with it.
Some of my ideas:
when attacking you could shake the remote left and right (or draw a circle) to do leg overs, rather than limit you to 3 like in previous games, you can do as many as you want until your player loses balance (like how Robinho did like 9 at once) or you are challenged.
you can flick it right to have your player shift the ball right and sprint onto it. imagine you draw a clockwise circle to do a legover with your right leg, and an anti clockwise one for your left leg, followed by a quick flick right to get past your defender - you could come up with all kinds of combos!
when defending you shake it vigorously to do a shoulder barge (or a deliberate push even).
For headers you can flick it up, for slide tackles maybe a sharp jab forward.
of course things like passing, through balls and shots become more complicated
I wouldnt mind some system whereby you have a little cursor and you aim at the net or at certain players and depending where you aim pressing A will either shoot or pass, success depending on your players positioning and how much power you put. That could actually turn out ok, perhaps even more like real football than it is now (cos you do have to concentrate on keeping the ball whilst trying to find a team mate or aim at goal irl)
for through balls you could use cursor to aim at a player and maybe while holding z or another button do 2 quick "taps" down on the remote for a ground pass, and two flicks up for a lofted throughball. or maybe aim the cursor at some space and jab it forward and depending on how fast you did it your pass will be strong or weak etc - more skill and vision now needed for through balls!!!
crosses could be say hold Z and swing the remote up in an arch, determining power and angle, direction etc.
I'm making myself far too excited :lol
