For $149, the MVP bundle will speak to a lot of sports fans. While College Football 25 is new for many sports gamers, Madden NFL 25 is also adding some grand changes to the franchise. For starters, Madden NFL 25 will add deep customization to Franchise Mode with Team Builder, with its gameplay giving players “more control than ever before” according to production director Clint Oldenburg. It's worth noting though that the MVP bundle will only be available digitally.

Those subscribed to EA Play can also get in on early access starting today, while getting a 10% discount on digital pre-orders and even in-game College Football Ultimate Team Pack purchases. Like Xbox Game Pass perks, EA Play subscribers can claim a monthly Ultimate Team Pack at no extra cost.
