A possible attachment to keep skaters from moving off the board might be on the way

Apparently, EA has been thinking about a solution to a problem that frequently occurs with the Wii Balance Board. To keep players from moving their feet off the correct position, a frame type attachment to give the Wii Balance Board a make-over might be shipped with the game. It is supposed to give the balance board more of a skateboard look and feel.

A common problem gamers have with peripherals that you stand on is moving their feet out of the correct position. They will glance at their feet to know how to make the proper adjustments to get set again, but while they are doing this they look away from the screen, which can be a problem. I've personally experienced this problem in games such as Dance Dance Revolution, and believe me, it isn't fun knowing you the amount of points you needed to win you could have acquired from the possible points that flew by when you were looking away.

Though not much is known about the specifics of what it will look like, it will hopefully be able to keep the feet positioned correctly without the player feeling uncomfortable at all.
