ARCHIVOS MR PLAYBOOK (2008)

Brett Favre has been chosen to be the cover athlete in the new Madden 09 videogame, he's the first non-active player to do so... since he retired from football in the past months.

The upcoming release of Madden NFL 09 on August 12 marks the 20th anniversary of the highly successful video game franchise.

Madden NFL 09 strives to take authenticity and depth of gameplay to an new level with more than 85 new features and enhancements, including the all-new Total Control Animation system. This system will allow players to perform combination moves like never before and includes an innovative picture-in-picture playcall window. In Madden NFL 09, the game engine is continually assessing the player's performance and will adapt a custom experience to every type of gamer, from newcomer to the veteran Madden NFL player.

Now we have to see if the so-called "Madden Jinx" stops here... (of course if Brett Favre doesn't return this year) or continues next year with the cover of the Madden 2010... but if this happens or not, I think EA Sports made a great call with Favre... not only because he's one of the most beloved athletes,... also because this might stop the "Madden Jinx" once and for all.
