Brett Favre is the Madden 09 cover athlete

Great choice! Hopefully he announces he will be back for one more year tonight on Letterman!

I’d cross out Gumbel as the announcer since he turned his announcing duties over to someone else on the NFL Network.

Don’t forget that Brett Favre hasn’t officially submitted his retirement papers to the NFL yet and was quoted saying that if the conditions were right where he would be needed (ie Aaron Rodgers gets hurt or is Abysmal) he would be open to returning to the Packers. So with that in mind it is still possible that the much heralded “Madden Curse” in fact could affect Brett Favre.

1. Not a packer fan
2. Retirement papers don’t make a difference besides it being official that he retired. You can unretire the same way right in the middle of the season.
3. Even if Farve was to come back he isn’t going to miss a game because of injury.

Well they will be tomorrow, and Earl already knows who they are.

Madden 96 had two white players on the box cover.

Huh??? I find that totally baffling. The Madden cover usually ties into the new big feature of the game in some way. What is the new feature this year?? Retirement mode?? Ability to throw into triple coverage for INTs?

How does having a player that doesn’t do a lot of press, doesn’t go to parties, doesn’t play video games, and ISN’T CURRENTLY PLAYING IN THE NFL help promote your game in anyway?

Why not just slap Madden on the cover for the 20th edition? That makes 100x more sense than this.

EA is more clueless than ever. Sounds to me like they signed a deal with Farve already and then he retired and they are too lazy or unable to back out of it.

I Wish he was going he was on it

Brett my boy there we go Go Packer!!! Pac attack!

Perfect choice. And they haven’t always picked someone with a new feature in the game. Just some years. I’m still pretty convinced that Madden himself will be on the collector’s edition. That’s how they did it in 2007 with the Hall of Fame edition.

I’m also VERY glad that it isn’t Adrian Peterson. I like that guy.

Perhaps this is their way of saying that everything that we know and loved about the Madden series is coming back. A retro Madden —> Think Madden 05 meets Madden Next Gen. One can only hope anyways.

Haha My Bad youbewrong I didn’t realize.

I like Favre but I was hoping EA would go classic with John Madden on the cover. So, in a way, it is disappointing.

Will the Collector’s Edition have a different cover?

I would have preferred a collage of all of the past covers with Madden busting through (to hide the Vick cover).

Regardless, it is what is inside the cover that counts most….

How about John Madden sitting in his office with ALL of the games sitting on his desk and on the shelves with him looking amazed at a pitbull tearing apart the 2004? Vick game.

I’d buy that.
