do u think madden is going to have online play?

they really should have made Wii Sports online. they released the game with the system to help show what the Wii-mote can do so why didnt they make it online to show that Wii's online service is good and lag free (if it is lag free when playing online that is)

They probably don't have the servers for online play running yet. Heck, they don't even have the servers for some of the core features of the Wii, let alone online gaming.

But they still could of had it on the game and (just like the Forecast and News channel) just not let you use it yet. I rather wait until Jan to play online then to have no online. I just doen get how the servers's arnt up yet??? Its been 6 months a bollion dollar company cant have a onlince system set up? the Xbox box had Xbox live when it first came out and it was a new system with no previous ones. But I think the Wii was the only system that was only kind rushed. If it had online it would be fine.
Also they have the online store up so Im pretty sure they could of had Wii sports online or at least on LAN.

Nintendo and Sony were racing to get the PS3 and Wii released. Sony announced their release, so Nintendo had to let the Wii out earlier than they planned.

I agree, I don't think they were ready with system and if they had their way this system might have been out at the 2nd/3rd quarter of 2007 with dvd and online. I think not only because of the Sony street date but because it's a smart move to release it a week before black friday/thanksgiving weekend in the states - get word of mouth/press to encourage folks to buy the systems for christmas...even high demand is working in their favor. I say that they should do the job right with the online play(granted that X-box live have a head start). I can wait - I have a job, social life and zelda/ps2 to keep me busy.

The Wii should have been ready by this Christmas no matter what I mean come on the 360 came out last year. What has Nintendo being doing these last couple of years I mean the gamecube has had not one Big game since like Mario Kart so I dont see why the Wii does not have a DVD player/CD player (that should have been on the Gamecube). Nintendo must be having problems seeing how Zelda was suppose to be out in June of 2005 and since all the Wii has right now is games.
Also Does the PS3 have online right now or are they waiting for it too?

Madden 07 online at this point would be lame. Considering that 70% of the people who play it online do it for the fantasy league. And this season is already over half way over.

P.s. if the wii not having a dvd/cd player is really a problem to you. Invest some of your poorass welfare check towards a $40 dvd player that will also play cds.

i think nintendo ****ed up the online play, they better come out with something other than smash bros to play online, cuz thats all im raelly lookin forward too

they should have madden and other popular online titles available to play online

but no, theyre gay

So why does it not have online??? Nintendo knows games like Maddan, Fry Cry etc have online on the other sytems so why did they not just have the feature there and then it just not work until Jan??? Its stupid to have free online if there are like 3 games for it. Plus Wii sports, DBZ and excite truck should be online since they can be for DBZ you could have a level and then fight other people and every person you beat you get pionts and after enught points you go to your next level. And Wii sports that should at least have a LAN mode since everyone has that game.

Because Nintendo is STUPID when it comes to these matters. They just don't understand how badly we want online. If they cared, they would've had this ready at launch for the games that you mentioned.

This is the one thing that I absolutely despise about Nintendo. It's so freaking disappointing. It makes me want to get a 360.

No it's because Nintendo is smaller than Microsoft and Sony - a lot smaller. They have a limited amount of human resources and they don't have the capital that Sony and Microsoft have to expand. They had to push the release date up to protect their business.

Sure, we're all disappointed, but understand that there probably wasn't much Nintendo could do about this.
