Madden NFL 09 Mess: Brett Favre Traded to Jets, First Image Arrives
Posted on 07 August 2008 by Erik
Recently traded quarterback, and celebrated old timer Brett Favre (Madden replica pictured above) will be available to play as a New York Jet when Madden NFL 09 is released for the masses to add to their Encyclopedia NFL 0′tanica next week.
Word comes from EA that the game will ship with Favre on the cover in his old Green Bay uniform, but the following updates will make him a Jet.
A round of applause to EA for making this happen literally12 hours after the trade occurred.
Here are the details given from a company spokesperson:
- Madden NFL 09 will hit stores on Aug 12 with Brett Favre on the cover in his Green Bay Packers uniform.
- We do not plan to re-issue packaging, but WILL offer a free downloadable cover in the coming days on easports.com featuring Brett Favre in a Jets uniform. Fans can print this new cover out and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09. Fans can print this new cover out and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09.
- We’ll have a roster update available on August 11 with Brett Favre on the NY Jets. The game ships with Brett on an all-time greats team, but with the roster update that will be downloadable when product is available at retail, Brett Favre will be the starting QB for the New York Jets. The roster update is not mandatory - unless you are planning an online head to head game, or online league.
