Brett favre and madden 2009???

Question

so i heard he was on the cover even before he came out of retirement. I would assume this shot is in a packers uniform, are they going to photo shop jets gear onto that pic or they gonna do a re-shoot or something, or even leave it as him in a packers uni? also since the game is close to being released will they have to delay release to change the team brett favre is on, or will they release the game with him on the packers?

Answer 1

He's in a Packers uni on the cover, but soon you will be able to download and print a new sleeve with him in a Jets uni.

Answer 2

i think their keeping him in a pa ckers uniform they wouldnt change it  

Answer 3

na he stays in a pac uniform, but on the jets in the game

Answer 4

they have game updates all the time for that kind of stuff, like if some one was to get injured the day before the game came out, when you play the game that person would be on the IR. i dont think they are going to change favres jersey because i think they paid the packers to use his jersey on their but it would be a big shot at the packers if they did so im all for it.

Answer 5

The problem with the Madden game people's plan was they had decided back in April of this year who the cover would feature. At that time Favre was the choice based on his legacy as a star QB. Everyone new at that time that Favre had retired, but it fit with the timeless, seasoned image the game wanted to use as a marketing tool. They are celebrating their 20th anniversary of the game this year, and Favre figured in as a major player in almost all of those 20 years.

Unfortunately, his image as steadfast and honest has been somewhat marred by his recent decision to come back from retirement.

There are plans to take into account his change of team, at least within the game, but the cover will not change. Regardless, of Favre's recent choices, he was still the unwavering face of the Packers for his whole career, and that images is the one the marketing reps for the game are trying to project.
