Brett Favre is still blazing a trail even after retirement.
Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has enjoyed many an honour, but here's one from the realm of the unusual.
Favre will be featured as the cover athlete of Madden NFL 09 video game, coming to stores across North America on Aug. 12 from EA Sports.
Madden NFL 09 marks the 20th anniversary of one of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed video game franchises of all time.
"Madden NFL Football and Brett Favre are sports icons who have set the standard and revolutionalized their positions within their respective genres," said Madden NFL executive producer Dale Jackson. "Brett Favre is a perfect fit for the Madden NFL 09 cover, as he epitomizes everything the franchise has stood for the past 20 years - longevity, excellence, and a love of football."
This year's Madden game will feature more than 85 new features and enhancements, including the all-new virtual trainer tutorial mode. Utilizing a holographic environment, this mode teaches gamers simple concepts about playing football and how to use the controls in quick, and stylized drills.
Madden NFL 09 will also feature a new play-by-play and colour commentary team featuring Cris Collinsworth and Tom Hammond. |
