You may have heard the news that Brett Favre has nabbed himself a one-way ticket out of retirement town. With Favre leaving his
lengthy retirement behind to join the
New York Jets, many wondered if his
Madden NFL 09 cover would come in a new
Jet-flavor. EA Sports has debunked notions to
IGN that there are any plans to release a second printing of the cover with Favre as a
Jet. Prior to the
announcement of the trade, EA Sports head-honcho, Peter Moore, told
CrispyGamer that the developer had a plan in place for a possible Favre move. Day one downloadable content, anyone?
Update: EA has confirmed they will release a day-one update that places Favre on the Jets (and reflecting any other relevant roster changes), reports
MTV Multiplayer. EA has also announced they will offer a downloadable cover in the coming days on easports.com featuring Favre in a Jets uniform. Fans can print out the Jets cover and insert it into their copy of
Madden NFL 09.
