It's hard to get used to at first, but if you have Wiimotionplus, it's a lot easier - and even more fun.

I'd put my vote for NHL, because to shoot, you make a shooting motion, to cross-check, you make a cross-check motion - to stick lift, you make a stick lift motion etc. Its a fun thing to do when drinking with some friends.

Do you use both hands on the Wii remote then? And if so, is it long enough for you to comfortably use two hands? I know that the Wii Motion Plus adds some length, but I don't know, I have pretty big hands, so batting in Wii Sports, for example, has always been a struggle for me.

There are multiple ways to play NHL2K10.

You can use the classic controller, if you want. You can use the wiimote alone (turn it sideways, and only use a shoot/pass/check button layout, like classic Nintendo sports games), or you use the wiimote and the nunchuck.

The nunchuck controls the player via joystick, c button to skate backwards. The wiimote itself is basically the stick. It's not awkward at all, but like I said, it takes a little getting used to at first because no other hockey game you really have to interact with. I personally don't find a problem with it when I'm using it that way.
