So finally we can end the 24 hr/ 7 days a week coverage if the Favre saga. I really hoped he would retire when he said he would retire. I also thought it was a done deal when he decided to grace the cover of Madden.
I just wonder if the trade will save Favre from the Madden Curse.
EA just announced that the day we receive the new Madden, Favre will be available in his new Jets uniform. The cover of the game will still have him in his Packers gear. (the game comes out August 12th)
EA states-
**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.
I wish the old guy good luck…
I have been a few places, seen a lot of things. I have had my hands in many fields. I may have answers for you if you have questions...even if you don't.
