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.
