Re: Brett Favre 09 Cover Boy!

I think Favre is an excellent choice IMO. Favre is very recognizable, sure Madden is too but why not have the all-time passing leader on the cover as a contribution to the game.

How does having a player that doesn’t do a lot of press, doesn’t go to parties, doesn’t play video games, and ISN’T CURRENTLY PLAYING IN THE NFL help promote your game in anyway?

Why not just slap Madden on the cover for the 20th edition? That makes 100x more sense than this.

EA is more clueless than ever. Sounds to me like they signed a deal with Farve already and then he retired and they are too lazy or unable to back out of it.
New in Madden 08: Retirement 2.0! Players now have the ability to retire if they don't like the decisions the team is taking.

You're going to buy a game you previously weren't going to simply because of a little paper cover with a picture on it? Asinine....

Whatever man, I'm a big fan of Favre I don't tell you how to spend your money. Haven't you ever bought baseball or football cards, they're just paper.

Old, past his prime player on the cover of an old, past its prime video game. Seems it ties in nicely.
