This may be common knowledge for some people, but I was surprised to find out that Madden 08 has a standard online lobby system and friends list without friend codes.  Unlike the DS where all games need friend codes, it looks like it's optional for third party Wii developers.  Here's to hoping there are some great online games for the Wii with no friend codes.

Sweet, I did not know this. Hopefully Nintendo wakes up and does away with the friend code system.

Found the info at IGN:

Creating an EA account is simple and free though, and you'll be able to use a combination of letters and numbers (no spaces or symbols) to make your persona that can be shared worldwide with users across the net. There's a rank-based lobby system, the ability to create rooms with passwords, and a full range of options (including weather, quarter time, AI difficulty, and rank/unranked play) to engage in. More importantly, no friend codes. Thank you EA.

Wish they would keep a ranking system across all platforms (pc, xbox360, ps3,wii,ect).
