Between COVID-19 and owners/players not being able to figure things out, I miss watching live sports so I’ve been playing a lot more sports games lately. That makes word that Madden NFL 21 is available for pre-order and pre-download is both welcome news and hurts a bit…

There are three versions available: Standard, Deluxe, and MVP. The Standard edition pre-order gets you an NFL Team Elite Pack, five MUT Gold Team Fantasy packs and one Your Choice Uniform pack. The Deluxe edition provides that, plus another seven MUT Gold Team Fantasy packs and three-day early access. The MVP edition ups the ante even more, adding five more MUT Gold Team Fantasy packs, a large Quicksell Training pack, MCS Ultimate Champion pack, and a Lamar Jackson Elite item.

Pre-orders are only available on the Xbox store right now, but expect to see it show up on the Playstation store very soon.
