You may have heard the news that Brett Favre has nabbed himself a one-way ticket out of retirement town. With Favre leaving his
lengthy retirement behind to join the
New York Jets, many wondered if his
Madden NFL 09 cover would come in a new
Jet-flavor. EA Sports has debunked notions to IGN that there are any plans to release a second printing of the cover with Favre as a
Jet. Prior to the announcement of the trade, EA Sports head-honcho, Peter Moore, told CrispyGamer that the developer had a plan in place for a possible Favre move. Day one downloadable content, anyone?
Update: EA has confirmed they will release a day-one update that places Favre on the Jets (and reflecting any other relevant roster changes), reports MTV Multiplayer. EA has also announced they will offer a downloadable cover in the coming days on easports.com featuring Favre in a Jets uniform. Fans can print out the Jets cover and insert it into their copy of
Madden NFL 09.

good luck winning your division.
anyway
Even as a viking fan seeing Favre in any other uniform just doesn't look right. I'm glad they are keeping him in the packer uniform on the cover. Also, day one DLC is kinda expected. I mean i remember on 08 how they deleted vick xD

Madden loves Favre, have you guys ever heard Frank Caliendo? He was on Mike & Mike this morning it was hilarious...he was imitating Madden and saying that Farve will play for 100 yrs, maybe 105 yrs. Then he said he'll probably play forever lol

I live in Milwaukee, but work from home for a company in Green Bay. I cannot tell you how totally frakking tired I am of hearing the name Brett Favre. You can't even turn on the news to see any actual news or weather anymore...I'm not even kidding, they ran half an hour of press conference, uninterrupted the other night. I sure hope he blows it big time and permanently tarnishes his legacy in New York. Douchebag.

they'll possibly go for the "mutiple cover" route and call them collectibles or limited edition.

Day-one roster update has been confirmed, and EA will release a downloadable cover with Favre in the Jets uniform. No word on an official re-release of the cover, though.

Your update was about fifteen minutes late, dude! You know, Xav, you don't always have to be a douche in the comments.
