The movies were made first. Davy Jones appeared with the movies.
The online game came after the 3rd movie, by the end of 2007.
Jolly Roger was constructed as the new villain set for the game. The reason they could not have Davy Jones' Crew as the primary enemy faction is probably because they can't have Davy Jones' crew in almost EVERY ISLAND, can they?
So they took up skeletons, and Jolly was their leader. Since Jolly is the villain of THIS game, he cannot appear in the movies. He was made for this game, and the last thing the writers would make is a character whose characteristics are based on their 2 initial villains - Jones and Barbossa. They always like making new villains with new styles for each movie. Jolly therefore is a bit ripped-off.
Davy Jones cannot step on land for an invasion of his, but it does sound good to have an invasion from his side. Maybe as a treasure map of a chapter?
Either way Disney has said many times that Jones IS coming to the game. Check the Phase Files, old news and even refer to a post of User:Jamesvsthekraken.
