Once again, EA Sports has decided to go with a twin model – Standard and Ultimate. While the Standard Edition is cheaper to get, the Ultimate Edition comes with a lot of extra offerings. Moreover, there are several pre-order bonuses for those who purchase the game before its global release in September.

The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99, while the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. The Origin Hero and Prime Hero bonuses are available only for a limited time, and those buying the game before August 20, 2024, will be eligible for the bonuses.
Which EA FC 25 edition is worth buying?
For the hardcore grinders, the Ultimate Edition is one to go for. While it might be more expensive to purchase, the seven days of early access make a lot of difference. Additionally, the extra resources will be highly beneficial for Ultimate Team users. An additional Origin Hero on the first day of the game itself is a great bonus.
For casual players, it’s best to opt for the Standard Edition. Most of the Ultimate Edition bonuses are purely meant for the Ultimate Team mode. There’s no reason to spend extra for a mode they won’t even play. It won’t make any difference to start seven days late if you’re looking to play the offline modes or go for a casual experience.
