Download this Favre-Jets cover for Madden 09

by Majed Athab { Aug 13th 2008 at 4:00PM }

Yeah, we all know the story -- Brett Favre pulling a fast one out of retirement and signing up with the Jets. While football fans may have been ecstatic over the news, it was a move that left Maddenites with an outdated cover for Madden NFL 09. However, not wanting fans to remain disappointed, EA has a backup play to counter Favre's surprise blitz.

If you head on over to EA's website, you can download a free, brand new cover for Madden 09 which features Favre sporting a Jets uniform. The covers are high quality PDFs, so you just have to make sure you have a good printer and some glossy paper to make the cover look legit. Might want to stop by Kinkos for that. Download the cover and replace it with the old one if you so desire.

[Thanks WhiteSpy!]

Here is a suggestion.

Give us Trophy Support, and keep your covers.

Very happy with the game though..

themissing @ Aug 13th 2008 5:30PM

cause lord knows, we can't play games unless we get fake digital trophies to reward us when we hit the 800 hour mark.

"However, not wanting fans to remain disappointed, EA has a backup play to counter Favre's surprise blitz."

uhhh sounded good till "Favre's suprise blitz" you realize quarterbacks dont blitz right??

Nate @ Aug 13th 2008 4:41PM

That's why it's such a surprise! ;)

TheHakku @ Aug 13th 2008 5:18PM

I believe Majed was talking about his move to the Jets....

Kspraydad @ Aug 13th 2008 5:22PM

I took the blitz as meaning his swift and devastating leaving of GB.

reson8er @ Aug 13th 2008 4:24PM

Brett, Brett, Brett, didn't you realize that by being on the cover and coming out of retirement you've allowed yourself to succumb to the Madden Curse?

Something terrible will happen, I can feel it O_o;

Bad Mojo @ Aug 13th 2008 4:37PM

It already did...

He plays for the Jets :P

reson8er @ Aug 13th 2008 4:43PM

lol, agreed!

awsomedude @ Aug 20th 2008 10:20PM

thats wut i was thinking..... and i hope something bad happens, i hate the jets >.>

Popfrogs @ Aug 13th 2008 4:29PM

They should put crutches under him after the beating he received in the last superbowl. Some guys don't know when to retire.

Blaze463 @ Aug 13th 2008 4:49PM

Too bad Brett Favre wasn't in last year's superbowl >_>

grimlock26 @ Aug 13th 2008 5:41PM

I'm gonna assume you gave zero thought into your comment.

Popfrogs @ Aug 13th 2008 5:16PM

Oops, I was thinking of his brother. Brett was in the tail end of the playoffs right before the Superbowl.

I'll take a 10 yard penalty.

NotoriousB-O-B @ Aug 13th 2008 5:21PM

Brett Favre's brother?

Thats a 15 yarder

Popfrogs @ Aug 13th 2008 5:24PM

Christ, I should just know when to quit. I was thinking of Eli Manning, brother of Peyton. The only relationship he has to Favre is beating him in the 3rd coldest game ever.

Wow. Google comes in handy when the brain epic'ly fails.

Araskaz @ Aug 13th 2008 7:14PM

But Eli Manning won the Superbowl - he didnt take a beating. LOL

dead @ Aug 13th 2008 4:43PM

I think its the madden curse that made him go out of retirement and get traded to the jets. now lets just hope that the curse doesnt hurt him...badly (unless you hate the jets).

this guy made a ton of covers

TheHakku @ Aug 13th 2008 5:16PM

If only EA's website didn't suck, we'd all have the cover before the world ends.

Jason @ Aug 13th 2008 5:16PM

What's the point!? The opening loading screens are still Farve on Packers.

Popfrogs @ Aug 13th 2008 5:43PM

Settle down, it'll be patched next year when Madden '10 gets released. ;)

ZMnsr1 @ Aug 13th 2008 5:34PM

no already have a nice Buccaneers Jeff Garcia one

SSG @ Aug 13th 2008 7:12PM

Since when does Favre play for the Jets! WTF

RavenPaul @ Aug 13th 2008 8:29PM

This game sucks. Thank God I bought it from NFL.com. I sent it back today. A very lazy and pathetic effort for a PS3 game.

anthonyjh @ Aug 13th 2008 8:47PM

I was really disappointed. Why are they having to play catch up to the last gen iterations. Freaking lame...

maxpontiac @ Aug 13th 2008 9:17PM

Why is that someone who doesn't care for Trophies always has a condescending comment like yours when another individual brings up the lack of trophy support?

Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean others don't.

themissing @ Aug 13th 2008 11:00PM

because i'm sick of EVERYTHING game related turning into a discussion about TROPHIES. do you need a pat on the back that badly?

here..."GOOD JOB MAXPONTIAC!!!"

now, wait a year, and pick up every shitty game you can think of that has easy to get trophies (like the XBOX360 kids) and rack up like 400000 points. just to have more points than the next idiot.

Stuart @ Aug 13th 2008 11:50PM

I'll stick with the good ol' uniform Brett use to rep. He'll always be a Packer!

maxpontiac @ Aug 14th 2008 1:50AM

themissing - Wow. It seems you are a little upset over trophies.Relax. You either suck at gaming, or don't like replay value.Which is it, or is it something else?

SparkyJ23 @ Aug 14th 2008 5:33AM

I don't see anything wrong with themissings points
If you need a epenis to play your games thats good for you but lets not flood the world with your epenis habit eh?

Instead of Madden trophies how about you show us you on top of the online leaderboards? Thought not :-)

themissing @ Aug 14th 2008 12:51PM

hee hee...yes MAXPONTIAC, i suck at games, that's it. typical trophy junkie answer, insult the person who disagrees. go MAXPONTIAC! you've got so many points!

themissing @ Aug 14th 2008 12:53PM

btw. MAXPONTIAC, i have all of the super stardust trophies, does that make me MAX? how many do i need?

skdontya @ Aug 14th 2008 1:59PM

Madden 2009 is plagued by cross-platform freezing issues: http://tinyurl.com/maddenfreeze

maxpontiac @ Aug 14th 2008 2:52PM

themissing -

Please. Don't throw your condescending remarks me and then cry foul when I ask if you suck at gaming. It makes you look the fool. Plus, it was a serious two part question that has yet to be answered by you.

Trophy junkie? LOL. Not quite. I will buy games with or without them (own Madden and SCIV), but I prefer them due to the often mentioned and seemingly ignored replay value.

But hey, thanks for the double post. Glad to know you care enough to post twice on my behalf.

SparkyJ23 -

Sorry. But I do not spend the countless hours required to make the top of any leaderboards on any game. Life has me to busy. Obviously if you have made to the top, we know what you spend alot of time doing.

Go right ahead, throw the "epenis" remark. Shows us where your maturity level is at. What's next? You going state how you have "PWNED" me?

Since you still have confusion, trophies to me (and others) bring an insane ammount a replay value to the title. Finding treasures on Uncharted would be something I would never do. It adds hours to that title. M$ and Sony know this, and if it wasn't the truth, these type of awarding systems would not be in place. Use your God given common sense, and you would realise that.
