That seems to be part of my issue. First of all, I think my swings were too big, secondly, if they're too fast then it can mess with the calibration. The controls seem rather sensitive and specific, without much room for error, and judging by reactions here it seems like it just doesn't click for some people. It still hasn't for me. I had the same issue with Swordplay in Wii Sports Resort.

Yes! Took me a while to work that out.
Regarding the wm+ controls, I think a lot of you ought to try making bigger, broader hits.
I still played the old Wii Sports semi-regularly (my father-in-law looooves it) and you could get by with just flicking your wrist a lot of the time.
I feel that in Wii Sports Club, you have to 'relearn' the controls to a certain extent - certainly I was very frustrated in the beginning but as soon as I started using the whole arm rather than just my wrist, it felt much more responsive.
That being said, I don't think it works a 100% of the time, which I still find frustrating, but 98% is a lot better than 80-90%.
I don't know if anyone has had the same experience.

I'd agree, and I think it's the curse of increased controller accuracy. The spastic swinging that had zero penalty in OG Wii Sports is now carries a hefty penalty with the improved accelerometer.

The menu music in this is just brilliant. That funky bass!
Didn't really get on with Tennis. I think I won three, lost three. Might be wrong. There was plenty of lag.
Bowling is nice though; I thought we'd be restricted to just the three phrase choices you've set to the dpad during matches but you can actually customise them mid-game on the gamepad, which is a nice thing. I wish there were a few more pre-set phrases for quick congratulations but I guess I'll not care too much once I have a few Miiverse responses set.
I did a wee Street Fightery one for when I mess up in Bowling:

Had a great one game of bowling, really enjoying that.
Tennis is a lot of fun when it works, but man, they really shouldn't just cancel matches, or even better, don't make the game connection in the first place, if the connection of one or both players is bad.
There are some real slideshow matches you can get into in Tennis.

I'm thinking so. I'm getting a constant Error Code 118-0512 when I try a tennis match. I can still do bowling though. I tried changing from wi-fi to ethernet etc and so I think it's just borked on their end. Day 1 online issues on a Nintendo product. Not that shocking. Hopefully they'll fix it soon because it was working great when it works.
FTFY
I ended up playing 7 online games of tennis last night. Only 2 of them were laggy, one of them being almost a slideshow. By coincidence, both of them were against players from Italy. And also by coincidence those were the only ones that I lost. Overall I think the experience is great, going from one game to the next one is really fast and I like the idea of having the call-outs on the d-pad buttons. I think it adds to the overall immersion
I made some custom ones before going to bed, but I didn't get time to test them yet.

Welcome to the club, lost again against some guy from Italy. The problem is definitely on their end because they can play fine, yet you can't time your hits. It's really annoying. Played some folks from UK and everything was fine.

Eh, Tennis still isn't that great. And I'm not fond of the Wiimote+ controls. They always get off after a few swings no matter how I play or which controller I use.
It's not that great even when the controls do work. It was boring 7 years ago and it's boring now.
Will stick with bowling!

I said it before, but my really bad matches have alle been again Italians. They must have some really shitty internet because otherwise it males no sense whatsoever to me.
Reaches Rank Star1 now. So much fun
Amen,
I would put the option in the settings to choose a minimum connection level desired by the user.
If the connection in a match goes lower for a prolonged time then stop it.

Is it confirmed that the day only purchase has the always online DRM?
Pretty sure it says so in the FAQ section of the electronic manual.
Yes. Obviously.
Yes
And that happens because of the "auto swing"
It seems there´s two types of motion the game register: simple moves and shakes
When you move, the racquet moves. But when you shake it a little bit stronger, it register an "auto swing"
I wish they could cut this auto swing crap. Let us have to make an all out swing, with strenght and speed

Welp, after an hour or so of playing, I'm not sure about this.
Bowling is great as always, and largely unchanged from Resort. Like the new challenges, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if you're not planning on playing online.
Tennis though... The controls drifts like hell, and feels inferior to the standard controls in the original game. My girlfriend was very frustrated with the controls, not having played the original before. I played that religiously for quite some time, and even I had problems with the controls drifting and being overly sensitive.
The net code seems to be somewhat shit as well, only letting me get smooth matches with people that has excellent connection.
All in all it feels like a very light update to the original, and that's not just good. I'm also not a big fan of the look of it. The clean Mii visuals worked in 2006, but seems way too flat in proper HD.

Ah, i played 20 minutes of tennis and knew i was already out. I had money ready to buy it, but gave up.
If nintendo fix it, then ill buy it. In the future.

Nope I'm not buying this. My right arm hurts, damn. Shouldn't have played it 5 hours straight.
That's my main problem.
Controls are fine, clean graphics in HD appeals to me and music is good.
WM+, online and social feature is the main feature Club has over the original but if the netcode is shit then it's all for nothing.
Fix it as soon as possible Scamco.

Sad to see people having problems. My experience has been maybe 98% perfect in terms of connection. I get matched with people immediately, and the vast majority of matches are green bars, some yellow (still fine and playable) and maybe 3 red (awful). I've been playing people all over North America just fine, and I'm in the Caribbean (10mbps).
My experience with the online was also good (80% smooth games). If only we can find a way to ban Italy from the competition.
As for controls, I don't get what's wrong with them. Maybe I'm fine because I didn't use to play Wii Tennis just from the wrist? Because that doesn't really work well with the Motion+.
jk

So i made my first banter...
Bravo.
After playing the ring master training in Tennis I've come to realize how accurate you can be. I agree that the random swinging while trying to adjust your angle can be annoying, but I'll probably get a better feel for it over time.
Anyway, Tennis is SO bought, and probably bowling at some point too. Can't wait for more sports to come.

You fear mighty Italy
if only more people put their WiiU on DMZ...
I'm in Italy and that improved my experience.
This. It was the same on grand slam tennis. If you watch the guy playing against Iwata in the video released a couple of days ago he's centering the wiimote after every shot.

I should probably get round to trying bowling online at some point.
Yes, it would be fine if the controller simply registered your movement. We need an "automatic" and "manual" setting. I doubt it will ever happen.
Yeah, I barely managed to get 118 I think and somebody has 208, no idea how, I suck at this.
Try it slowly, I haven't tried Wii Sport Club yet but in Wii Fit U I had to get into position slowly and not swing quickly into position.
Like the hat?

Can you play these using just a wii remote plus and the gamepad (no tv)?
