Game Wad is reporting that the following features will be included in Madden 08 for Wii when it’s released on August 14:

• Real-time ESPN ticker updates
• Online tournaments
• Worldwide quickplay multiplayer matches
• Promised roster updates not just for the 2008 season, but 2009 as well
• Mini-game party mode, with 22 mini-games
• Miis are used in minigames

To echo the sentiments of Eddie Inzauto, “That sure is a lot of online stuff for the Wii.” Indeed. Looking like an online blowout for Wii come this fall. Patience web fans. Patience.
