Madden NFL 09 now available with new packaging

Electronic Arts today announced that Madden NFL 09 has officially hit stores, replete with updated cover art and rosters.

"Whether you are a seasoned veteran, or a franchise rookie, Madden NFL 09 will continuously assess your skills and adjust the gameplay to keep the experience both fun and challenging," said Electronic Arts, upon releasing the game on Tuesday. "It also includes a brand-new broadcast presentation package featuring Cris Collinsworth and Tom Hammond, online leagues, and the most realistic graphics in franchise history."

As promised, EA also released new downloadable cover art (pictured) to reflect the now out-of-retirement Brett Favre and his trade from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets. The updated cover art is available as a free download from easports.com.

On Monday, GamePro gave Madden NFL 09 a review score of 4.5 out of 5, noting its lifelike graphics, tight controls, intense gameplay, and adaptive difficulty settings. The football sim is available for Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP.

Haha! I don't think Brett Farve gives a F*CK about what you respect!

Brett farve still has it in him. I understand why he left green bay. He still wants to play and green bay wants to play their investment it makes sense. Honestly though I think bret farve can still lead a team and take a team to the super bowl. I think green bay screwed up by getting rid of him. I bet they end up regretting it in the long run.

I heard that EA made a original XBOX version of Madden 2009. I have Madden 2008 on xbox and on ps3. Might pick up the origina xbox version if it exist.

It better be good and improved. I'm sick of EA jerking us around with the Madden franchise.
