This is a good game for the family, easy to learn. I would not recommend unless it is on sale, it is not worth the retail price.

Not sure where to start...
Like many other ESPN licensed games in the past, it turns out to be very disappointing. Controls are inconsistent. There isn't much of an 'excitement' factor for her or her friends when they were over (age ranges have been 6-11.) We have supported the Wii U, but this game does not deserve it's price tag........maybe when it hits $19.99.........MAYBE

My kids especially like the golf, soccer and tennis. The golf swing is tempermental though and it takes time to learn how to swing.

This game is horrible. I guess if you are a huge ESPN fan, maybe you'll like it, but otherwise stay far away!
