We wonder what Packers fans think of Brett Favre gracing the cover of Madden NFL 09, which hits stores next week (you can preorder it now). We also wonder if EA Sports will have to change the cover if Favre signs on with another team. Either way, the 20th installment in this popular football game franchise offers a new look and feel, ever-more authentic gameplay, and, according to GameSpot, "The game now molds itself around you, the player, adjusting the difficulty level to best fit your gameplay style. With Madden IQ, everything you do in the game will be used to calculate your skill level." We wonder if the game can predict when you'll retire too.
