Madden ’09 Cover Will Feature Favre In Packers Jersey
Author: admin
EA Sports and label president Peter Moore have announced that Brett Favre will still be featured on the cover of Madden NFL ’09 wearing his infamous green and gold jersey.
Soon after it was announced that Brett would be playing for the New York Jets, EA Sports quickly re-produced a print-only cover of Favre in a Jets uniform. According to Game Daily, a downloadable cover update will soon be availabe from EA Sports and a roster patch also expected to be released for download to make sure Brett is in the game and with the right team. Fans can print out this new cover and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09.
“Besides the fact that it would be an added expense and hassle to change the cover, EA wants to honor Favre’s legacy as a Packer, so the art isn’t changing”, said Peter Moore.
“Madden NFL ’09 hit stores next Tuesday with Brett wearing his Packers green and gold”.
Does EA Sports really want to preserve Favre legacy, or was it really too much of a hassle to change the cover?
Game Daily also features an area where you can view 35 screenshots of the game that hits the shelves on Tuesday.
