Well, we don't want them to be rewarded for deliberately releasing an unfinished product. They're putting online multiplayer in their PS3 version of the game (which is botched in other ways). Maybe they didn't want to work with Nintendo's awkward friend code system (I personally never had a problem with it as a user, but I can see how it might be annoying to a developer).

even if they didnt want to use nintendos friend code system, this was supposed to be a WII game. so since the WII game is the only one you can actually purchase, it should have ALL the features. its possible to have good online in a wii game (mario kart, monster hunter), and with nba jam it would only be 2 on 2 anyway.

its spitting in the face of wii users that have been waiting for this game. and i bet EA still acts surprised when the game doesnt sell well.

its also spitting in the face of PS3 and Xbox users, who cannot purchase the game except as a bonus by buying another game. and they are the ones who get online?? as well as stripped features too?? so noone gets the full game?

ridiculous in every direction. i would almost rather have no wii version at all, than a stripped down version. they certainly made it one of the most pointless 'exclusives' ever.

i think im especially mad because i still want to buy it (?!?!?!?!?!). so i hope it tanks and goes to the bargain bin pretty quick, as i wont be paying full price for half a game.
