Ubisoft to answer the question of how MotionPlus-enhanced soccer works

The
MotionPlus peripheral provides more fine-grained motion recognition for hand movements. The
defining characteristic of soccer is that the hands are not used. With that in mind, we can't
wait to see how the new
Academy of Champions arcade soccer game is going to make use of the device. It also supports the Balance Board, but that's a lot easier to figure out.
Academy of Champions is a new Wii soccer game that will feature soccer stars Pelé and Mia Hamm, as well as that kid with the weird-looking face. The game features a "rich, story-driven adventure" taking place in a fictitious soccer-centered school. Players "improve their skills, recruit new team members and build the best possible squad," making the game sound rather like a soccer-themed RPG (which isn't
that outlandish).
