Catch the fever

Thanks to the support of EA, football and basketball lovers can enjoy the most current titles from EA on their Wii. Both Madden 08 and NBA Live 08 feature online play, even going so far as to allow players to enjoy their games without the use of any cumbersome Wii Friend Codes.

Instead, gamers register a handle (an online username) and use that across all of EA's Wii games. It even applies in Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, allowing you to get into the game more quickly and spend less time inputting annoying Friend Codes.
