Madden NFL 25 is now available for pre-order on all available platforms, and once again, there are different editions to pick from.
EA Sports will follow their tried-and-tested formula by offering two variants: Standard and Deluxe. The two editions differ in terms of price and content, with one offering more than the other. While there’s no “bad choice” per se, it’s essential to understand which edition is better for you. This becomes a lot more crucial as there’s no way to upgrade/downgrade from an edition that you have purchased (without going through the hassle of canceling your pre-order).
All Madden NFL 25 editions and content
First, let’s take a look at the Standard Edition of the Madden NFL 25, which is available for $69.99.

Here’s what you get with the Deluxe Edition, which is available for $99.99.

Madden NFL 25 pre-order bonuses

If you’re interested in playing College Football 25, the EA Sports MVP Bundle offers you Deluxe Edition of two games (Madden and CFB) at a discounted price of $149.99 (against their stand-alone prices of $199.98).
Which Madden NFL 25 edition should you buy?
If you intend to invest several hours in MUT (Madden Ultimate Team), it’s worth spending the extra money to get the Deluxe Edition. First, the three days of early access give you extra time to grind the modes for rewards. Secondly, you get additional resources in the form of premium currency and packs. The premium currency can be used to open more packs from the in-game store.
The Standard Edition is a good choice for those who want to play the game casually or spend a major portion of their time in Franchise mode. If you plan on getting the Deluxe Edition, make sure to pick it up before August 1 so you do not miss out on a free AKA player item in MUT.
