With Madden 2009 release just around the corner, and Brett Favre un-retiring and then being traded to the New York Jets, causes problems for Madden games everywhere. To honor Brett Favre and his career, EA decided to put Favre on the cover of this years Madden game, in a Packers uniform from which he retired. Long story short Brett Favre is back, but not as a Packer but a Jet. What does this mean for the Madden cover? Nothing, it is to late to change it, but EA said with in a few days of the games release you will be able to go to EA.com and print out a new cover with Brett Favre in a Jets uniform, and they will also send out an update, with in the first week, that places Brett on the Jets roster. I think that EA will be a little more careful about putting a “retired” player on the cover of a Madden game in the future.
