Dolphins fan here (lol)

I obviously prefer the Packers cover. Stupid Jets.

What, no Wii version? :-)

this looks shooped

the power of shoop

@dadeisvenm:

Most reviews are saying the Cover is good, but has a little color bleeding at the edges. EGM said they're awaiting further results on whether the Madden Curse is still alive. Overall Good scores!

LittleBigPlaneteer

@MINIBOSS: I was about to say it looks like they did, couldn't imagine him posing in the exact same position...hrm

Where are the reviews?

dadeisvenm

i refuse to go to kinko's just to get the real cover on a glossy paper. damn you brett! u just couldnt stay retired! lol im coming after you with my NY Giants :D

@P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft: indeed.

@colosussbaine: damn thats deep. i understand what you're sayin though. Broadway Joe would have def made a cover if he were in this era. vinny testeverde? not so much. :D

just thought about something, imagine a JETS/GIANTS showdown this season? Favre would love to avenge his loss at Lambeau Field against Eli.

zanzibarlegend

EA has missed a golden opportunity to make even more money by putting out a SE NY JETS Brett Favre version of Madden 09. YES, make Madden fans buy two copies of Madden because the Special Edition NY Jets Madden 09 edition comes with special NY Jets cover, special NY Jets packaging, and A Brett Favre on the Jets team that throws twice as many INTs

@LittleBigPlaneteer:

Yes I realize this was a bad joke. Screw you guys!

LittleBigPlaneteer

THIS JUST IN: The Favre Jets cover is a PS3 Exclusive! Way to go Sony on securing one!

LittleBigPlaneteer

Does it come with a free hard drive wipe for being stupid?

penty85

As a Jets fan, I'm a happy boyyyyy

Sonic_and_Tails

Yeah that is some pretty skillfull photoshopping

tooji

@P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft: he was the one player that got a free ride, and what did he do? He temps fate by coming back. Not even the great Brett Favre can escape the chubby fingers of the Madden curse. He has sealed his doom.

ForAllThatEverWas

zomg im glad they did this otherwise i was going to boycott this year's madden /sarcasm

cihx

@Deft_One: If he was in it for the money, he woulda taken the 20 mil that the Packers offered him to stay retired.

"First Sports Game that adapts to you"

Funny. PES 2007 does that.

mergedwarrior

Hey look, Favre's...still wearing green. Wow, what a staggeringly massive change.

I've never understood the appeal of Madden, which is why I'm extremely happy I'm not working the midnight launch. I'd probably end up strangling a customer.

@Mit: I think the Packer's Cypress Green and Cheesy Yellow is one of the worst color scheme ever... And ugly..

Shachihoko

The Madden Curse has stricken Brett Favre in that he's going to the Jets.

It continues!!

P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft

why man, why. I thought he was going to retire two years ago. o well. At least when we mean "hypocrate" (or however you spell it, we can say "stop bieng such a brett favre"

lilnorris64

Photoshop FTW.

pinoyunggoy

he's like the...nevermind

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

Pretty good photoshopping skill. Look like his uniform were changed.

@ThePeacemaker02: I still haven't got my Okami covers. D= What the hell they are taking so damn long? It been 4 months since I signed up for one.

Madden 09: First Sports Game That Adapts To Brett Favre's Every Desire.

mva5580

hmmm looks like they went back in and photoshopped him into the uniform.....

MINIBOSS

I wonder if future copies of the game will be printed with this art. I'd like seeing it plastered all over my work better than the current green/yellow color scheme everywhere.

Mit

And let this commemorate the first and LAST time a MY Jet will be on a Madden cover, Thank you.

colosussbaine

@ThePeacemaker02:

Speaking of, I've yet to get my Okami insert. Has anyone received theirs yet?

LittleBigPlaneteer

Hes lookin' a little buff on that cover for a old man =p the drama around Brett Farve is more annoying than politic drama but glad it's over and the Jets really needed a good QB..

Zaos

Why can't they out real inserts like they did with Okami? I would rather have the regular sans Jets cover than a crappy printed version.

ThePeacemaker02

@dadeisvenm: Of course he's still awesome, but whatever. But yeah, in a way...he sort of did.

[packers.com]

Deft_One

@colosussbaine: ROFL. Its true, but still, LMAO.

Seriously though, I wish that if they were going to give us a new cover, that they would do it right. This is EA we're talking about. They have the money to blow on this kind of stuff, espeically they're big money maker.

Karisu-Zero

@Deft_One: Was?! Its just business. He's not playing for Charity.

dadeisvenm

@P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft: I dunno man, coming out of retirement to play for higher-profile team says a lot. I mean think about it, the Packers are community owned so there's probably not that much cash flowing around. Within two years, I bet Favre will make at least double what they offered him on the Jets and then some (Maybe more fame? who knows).

Also, sorry Kotaku. Don't ban me. I'm just taking this whole fiasco a bit too personally since he was a hero of mine..

Deft_One

the original cover is better because it was a shot of Farve actually playing with a Packer uni on, this one is pretty much photoshopped.

dreamer3kx

too soon .. god i want to vomit just looking at it .. might as well put a vertigo graphic on there.

vgfanboy

@Shachihoko: I haven't gotten mine either.

ThePeacemaker02

No Wii makeover?!

Glare

@Apocalypse15: I think you and I are the only Dolphin fans left. Now two of the best QB's in the NFL are in the division, I hope The Tuna has something behind that fin of his....

Oh God, such a lame joke. I'm sorry.

AcidCrownie

Sweet, now all he needs to do is get them to the playoffs since forever.

Is that a Packers watermark hidden in the corner?.

PsycheE

Video game box cover art?! This is big!

Roflcopter_Down: Wants you to follow HIM!

it looks the same as the green bay one

rob61920

when will they stop making sports games so expensive? i have nothing against them, but paying 60 dollars is a bit much. i think 20 dollars for each one sounds better.

SolidSnake1118

I don't care man. I just don't effin care. To me Brett will always live and die as a Packer. That current QB there in New York is no one. YOU HEAR ME?! NO ONE. The #4 whose still playing is dead to me..

@Deft_One: I disagree wholeheartedly. You can't argue that Bretts in it for fame. I mean, his name (even before this whole debacle) was synonymous with the QB position. He's a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer, he's won a superbowl, he's led his team to the NFC championship after a disasterous previous campaign in what was suppose to be his final season. Don't forget all the records he has broken, abd all the stories (passing for 4TD and 399 yards the day after his father died, playing with a broken thumb) he's generated. You can't get more "famous" than that. It really doesn't that the packers are a small market team. I'm sure more people (non-fans included) know the name Favre in New York (pre-trade) than even Chad Pennington or Kellen Clemens. As for money, @P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft: has a very insightful reply.

Plus, don't forget, he wanted to come back and play even before they said they were going to trade him. If anything, I would imagine he came back because he misses playing. It reminds me of Deion Sanders, Emmith Smith, Mario Lemieux, Shawn Micheals, Micheal Jordan, people who came back for the love of the game.I played football during muy undergrad for my university,and if I said I still don't have the itch to play today, I would be lying. I would give almost anything to play again. Dont't hate Brett because he's made a bad decision, love him for all he's done. Hate him for being a Jet.

NeVeRMoRe666

@SolidSnake1118: Uhm they've got to eat too you know. When will you stop spending the money for a game you don't need and stop complaining about what they charge?

Samicham85

@Archaotic: Why all the hate man? Some people just love football. Some people love the intricateness (is that a word?) of Madden. You have to outthink and outmaneuver your opponents (like a quick game of chess). I don't see the appeal of racing games (since I can drive) or JRPGs for that matter, but I wouldn't strangle anyone over it. Different strokes for different folks as they like to say it around here.

@Apocalypse15: @AcidCrownie: Sigh guys...hang in there! Tuna's building the team from the inside out (drafting Jake Long and the D-lineman). It's going to be a couple of rebuilding years for sure. Blame Ricky. I would (lol). But look at the Chargers now, they had Leaf, you have hope! I was once a Falcon fan, so I would say I'm in an even more dire situation than you.

NeVeRMoRe666

Is that the same pose from his Packers cover?

I-N-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

First Vinny, now Favre?

Hate to dampen spirits but is it me or is New York just sh** out of luck when it comes to picking up prime QB talent...

Don't get me wrong I'm sure the rest of their team have a role model to look up to. But after Favre, err .. their QB depth just does not look good.

SymbolicMeaning

J-E-T-S JETS JETS! JETS!!!

Hellion86

L-A-M-E Why couln't EA change the cover to a different pose or something. Just use a different picture and add Jets gear. Very lame EA.

emeraldgsl

Wheres the wii cover =(

thekirby45

@Mit: I would expect them to. NHL 04 had Dany Heatley on the cover at first but was changed to Joe Sakic after Heatley's car accident which killed teammate Dan Snyder. So they've probably stopped printing up the Packers cover and are gonna go with the Jets from now on.

teh_joe

@MINIBOSS: Yep. And I would wager it'll be about two or three days before the other custom Favre jersey's start pouring in.

So is there also a Day 1 update to put him on the Jets roster?

TRT-X

How the hell do they shop that and make it look so good?

MSUSteve

@Glare:
precisely what i was thinking

Mr.Sad

That's great an all but what about the disc it self.
It's still would have Farve in a Packers jersery anyway!!!
Come EA at least do an disc swap mail-in service!!

Melhavic

WTF no love for the Wii or DS

toneynola

It gives me the creeps.

Bandicoot

wow nice photoshop work on that left sleeve. it had to be completely redone!

I am happy that I got the special edition and don't have to deal with this on the cover of my game.
