I wouldn't worry until about 1 to 2 weeks later, as "Troy" said, the first going on any new online game is a bit shaken, i remember when i use to get alot of error messages tryin to connect to the Nintendo servers for the Wii shop for the first week after it came out, and haven't had a single error since, then i occassionally got an error code when Strikers came out, and so far no more... it just takes time to catch up with actual demand, if they plan for 10,000 players they could spend too much money if only 5,000 people sign on, and if they even plan for 1 million people and 2 million people log on it won't be fully functional yet either.... i'll comment on how madden's online works in about a week... but i honestly think that EA underestimated how many people would actually boot up Madden online on the Wii

oh, and if you read the EA nation blog, it explains that exact fact:

Now that Madden NFL 08 is available, the development team at EA is doing some tweaking to make sure our online experience is as smooth as possible. Since there is currently a high volume of people playing online, this is the best time for us to monitor and maximize the experience.

As updates are taking place over the next 24 hours, some fans may experience an interruption in online play. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience as we make the necessary updates.

Yeah, I've had problems, but I like the set up and word is that it'll be better when EA actually gets all of the servers up and running.

Does Madden punish lamer disconnecters that ruin Strikers online??

Web polls should always include an option of I just like voting in web polls.

Yes madden can punish folks for disconnecting. I was just in a match with someone and he got disconnected. One of the options was (No Mercy). However, I have had several games break off in the middle of playing and that was the first time I saw that option.

I hope these fixes come soon. The things that are bugging me the most is the false starts when selecting no huddle or accidentally hitting the no huddle button and the many many times you tell it to pass and the guy just stands there and does nothing. The last game I just played, I had no less than 10 times I went to pass to a receiver and it did absolutely nothing and I got sacked. That has got to be the worst of the bunch in terms of problems.

i had only had problems playing and completing a game before i had downloaded the system update.... but since then its been smooth. we should all get a wiifanboy tournament going on there....

I was playing just fine for about 4 days until this morning when I couldnt get online because it would freeze, and then I couldnt even play an exhibition game because there were no NFL teams. I am no fan of playing with the NFL Europe teams. Can anyone help me in fixing this? Do i need to download a system update?

My game was working fine until this evening, I ran the system upgrade from the Wii menu, and since then Madden 08 is freezing on the loading screen after you choose the game you want to play or whatever. Anybody else having freezing issues?

They really need to fix this online problem, I should have about 10 or 12 wins now but due to disconnections and all, I've only got 3 wins and a dnf (did not finish) of 35%. The game itself is great, the controls are cool. Another problem is disconnection due to low battery on your wii mote (yes, it will disconect you from the online game just to WARN you the your battery is low) when in reality it can last for another good hour or so... :sign:

I am very upset with madden 08 online play. I admit it's very addictive and fun at times, but I've lost about 7 games that I was winning in the 4th quarter with no chance of loosing! but then I got disconnected so I lost(and I use the LAN line for better connection!) i've also had 3 games that I won but the win never showed up on my record.

I have offered mercy a couple of time and sometimes when I offer mercy the win doesnt show up, the same is true for when an opponent offers concession. This is rediculous because it clearly states that you will get the win but sometimes the win never shows up.

I love madden 08 football and it's quite possibly the best madden yet exspecially the Wii version, it's more fun to play then xbox 360 or ps3 versions. However this online problem has frustrated me to the point where I may just play my usual franchise mode and forget all about online till next years version comes out!

O.k. o.k. I'll probably still play online but I may limit my time on because it's not fair and it's frustrating!

I can't connect. in the manual it says that I need to forward a port because of the fact, that i'm behind a firewall. the problem is, that I don't know which port the wii uses. Can anyone tell me how to find out?

I ALSO HAVE BEEN WINNING THE GAME IN THE 4TH QUATER ONLY TO HAVE SOME POOR SPORT QUIT AND FREEZE UP THE GAME. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, NOTHING WORKS AND I SIT THERE STARING AT THE SCREEN FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES UNTIL I DECIDE TO SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM WHICH IN EFFECT GIVES ME A LOSS AND A DNF. I THINK THAT THE POERSON WHO LOOSES CONNECTIOIN OR QUITS SHOULD RECEIVE THE NEGATIVE STATS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I JUST HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT IT IS ONLY A GAME AND IF SOMEONE QUITS, THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO KNOW WHO IS THE BETTER MAN. I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.

i've had the disconnection problem costing me the game but also an annoying glitch of the game just choosing the hurry up offense of its own accord then giving a penalty against the offence without any control button being pressed !
