No friend codes in Madden 08

Madden 08 Wii online without friend codes - Joystiq

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Sweet. I hope this is true, I hate having to use friend codes.

"No voice chat will be available during online play, relying instead on EA Messenger for communication (details on how were also not given)"

That's why there's no friend code. Nintendo is too conservative and paranoid to let you be free to talk to anyone. And I bet the messaging service is weird and constrictive.

The messages would really suck if they were anything like the way you answer Interviewers in Diamond and Pearl. Where there's only a list of words you can choose from.

Hahaha.

Oh gosh, not like those stupid games that come with XP like "Internet Checkers" where there's just a list. If it's like that there will be no point in it being online.

Well I honestly would not be surprised if that were the case. I mean I don't know why Nintendo is so damn stubborn.

Throw me a mic, god dammit.

I'm tired of Nintendo's lack of good online services, too.

I'll get you a soap box as well.

I guess this is a somewhat good gesture.

However Nintendo still needs to dish out the full experience. And like said above Nintendo is still constrictive with their services, I'm getting a little tired of this myself.

Hands down this game will be 10x more worth getting on the Xbox 360 or PS3, for 10$ and in some stores 50$ for the Xbox 360 version, theres no good reason to get the Wii version.

I am not much on Madden, but I guess this is a good sign? Friend Codes were never that big of a deal to me; you only have to enter them once. :glare

Why back in the day, we had to scrub the floor with our tounges! You younguns got it easy! :d
