Is anyone else bothered by the general state of misleading info and lack of transparency from Ubisoft about game updates and plans? For instance the screenshots on the main page are much better than the actual game can attain and clearly show "hopeful" renders rather than actual gameplay footage. Also, with the missing website features and slow rollout, I feel like the focus is on grabbing money from DLC and not on cleaning up the product they released.
Just wondering if I'm the only one.

Please post your impressions. I had the original game with the rubber band and the leg strap for the wii and it drove me nuts having to use their equipment. I never felt like that game had much diversity in exercises and always felt like I was doing some sort of a lunge and the "games" were very thinly veiled exercises. Definitely curious what you think and now that the price is down to $60 it's more of a value. That said, to this point YSFE hasn't gotten any of my points and I got it on sale so I don't feel too bad about my wallet yet.

I'm finding my self more frustrated with this game everytime I try it. The motion tracking is crap compared to other connect games I have played. On one particular workout in the mens health you are doing overhead presses. No big deal I stay with the trainer and I use 10 pound weights. Oddly enough I only get 50% from the workout. I keep in sync with the trainer by moving my arms up and down but I don't get the additional points because I don't hit the goal of moving my arms up and down?
It's a bad system that needs patched. Apparently no one at Ubi cares to read these forums but I can't imagine putting out a product with this poor performance.

I haven't tested this myself so if anyone has observations, does your calorie count actually get affected by the low % score? I wish I was watching because this morning lunges were the next workout but I walked away and expected it to auto-pause. Instead it kept going and I got a 14%(!) but since I wasn't there I didn't see if the calories kept counting regardless of my low score. Anyone? Maybe all the issues with %'s are much ado about nothing and there should be an option just to turn them off and let us do our own thing.

I've only used it once but it was a good work out. I appreciated the warm ups and cool downs. The tracking seemed a little better too. Although I think there was a little lag just as in YSFE it did not hound me about its short comings. They still supply the same cheap rubber ribbon but I have better ones. What I really like is the feeling my efforts are being tracked better through the use of the heart rate monitor. I need to give the whole thing time though and see how I feel in a month.Please post your impressions.

I am getting great workouts from the game. I had to stop working out every day and move to every other day. My body was so sore.
I use the trainer as a guide but I follow the beat of the music and that has improved my score.
As far as the game tracking calories when you are not there? I wouldn't know. My game pauses if I walk away.
I know that when I get a higher score I burn more game calories.

I have this problem as well on the shoulder press. It sees me just fine for a few, then it never recognizes me again on this particular exercise.Originally posted by lsdarling:

Alnark, it took me a while to get myself doing the shoulder press properly, but I finally managed it. I had to develop a "feeling" in my arms and shoulders to tell me I was doing it correctly. Even so, I am still always "out of rhythm" on the first one so I can never get more than 98% on them... but I do consistently get the 98%
