Well, it was only a matter of time before we saw Brett Favre’s Packer Cover photo replaced with the “correct” uniform. Here are the pics of Madden ’09’s new cover featuring none other than Brett “The Jet” Favre.

The new Brett Favre jersey is now on sale at the Jets Shop. The replica jersey which should be a very popular one sells for $80.00. While Brett Favre is still featured on the cover on Madden 09 in his Packers jersey, I’m sure the first roster update will have him with the Jets. While Favre being traded to the Jets may just seem like the typical “over the hill” QB trying to get in one last season, I think the trade may have a heavy impact on this season and possibly the next. If the Jets perform poorly this season, the draft choice they sent to the Packers now becomes more valuable. The Jets do have some quality receivers with Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery, meaning that Favre should be able to jump right in and stretch the field with these guys as long as they all stay healthy. Basically, the New York Jets just went from a mediocre team behind Clemens or Pennington to a playoff potential with Favre. I assume either Clemens or Pennington will be traded soon. If the New York Jets could somehow beat the New England Patriots at least once this season, they will be in serious business. While some may think the Packers are doomed, that’s probably not the case. They will have a really strong defense this season. If Rodgers can step up and play to his potential, they might make the playoffs as well…

It looks like Brett Favre is officially a member of the New York Jets, but the Madden 09 cover will still have him in a Packers uniform. G4 spoke with EA to confirm that the cover will remain the same, despite the trade. Hopefully Favre will have a productive season with the Jets and avoid the Madden curse, but weird things already seem to be happening concerning this year’s release.

Was Brett Favre’s decision to return influenced by his Madden 2009 Cover Photo?
As you may already heard, Brett Favre is trying to make a comeback. He currently has not reported to any camp yet, including his former team the Green bay Packers. The couple of teams that have shown interest are the New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Bucs. Since April 24th, when Brett was announced the new cover athlete for Madden 09, minor rumblings began about his return. Could the video game football franchise have possibly influenced his return? If he DOES play this upcoming year, I say it helped! We have new screens of Madden 2009, and boy do they look good. Here are some of the new features you can expect to see this year:
New Features
Madden IQ system: players train in a holographic environment, which grants them a “Madden IQ” based on their practice in 12 different drills. The game’s difficulty adjusts itself to the player’s Madden IQ.
EA Sports Backtrack: the game analyzes the player’s playing ability and points out mistakes during gameplay a la a television-styled telestrator
Improved online leagues: server-based leagues, supporting up to 32 players, with full schedules including the playoffs and the Super Bowl as well as draft and trade support. Schedules can be played in a round-robin style as well.
Revamped graphics: Improved stadium models, new weather particle system, new lighting models, new player models, field goal nets, improved sidelines, user-controlled celebrations, clear visors, new facemask designs, and Total Control animation system.
Improved gameplay: Offensive line slide protection, smart routes, realistic fatigue, improved gang tackles, true penalty based animations, formation substitutions, new fumble system (weather affects it), new player weapon types and the ability to return short field goals.
Revamped franchise mode: Simulated stats have been improved (e.g. fewer running backs gaining 2,000+ yards in one season), rivalry games have special value and played games have more crowd and television intensity.
On-demand picture-in-picture play-call window: Picture-in-picture style interface to allow the player to see key information and call plays and formations without leaving the current window.
New Dynamic Camera System: The new camera system moves with your receivers so they will never fall out of view during gameplay. The camera automatically pans out, zooms in, and adjusts angles to keep the receivers in screen. Once you complete that pass, if the ball carrier happens to break away from his defenders, the ActionCam will rock back and forth, zoom in and follow the ball carrier, giving you that intense feeling that you’re sprinting alongside him. And if a defender happens to really lay into the ball carrier, the Big Hit Camera will rattle the screen with the force of the crunch.
New Tackling Engine & Animations
New Running/Ball-Carrier Engine: total control system, new transition system, character grounding with foot-plant, new procedural animation system, realistic momentum, new locomotion system, improved visuals and animations, left and right stick moves, directional diving

This isn’t breaking news, considering the information was leaked several days ago, but it’s now official that Brett Favre will be on the cover of Madden 09. Considering he’s retired, there’s no chance of him getting injured due to making the cover. It’s always possible Favre may come back, but unlikely. Brett certainly represents old school football and was a dying breed of QB. It will be a long time before we see another player like him.
