EA Sports this morning announced a little something extra for Madden fans who are possibly looking to upgrade to the next generation of Madden games this fall.
Players who buy either the Xbox 360 or PS3 version of Madden NFL 25, and then upgrade to the XBox One or PS4 version when those are released, will be able to transfer over their Madden Ultimate Team items (up to 1,100). In other words, all that time spent collecting items and building your squad won’t go to waste and will provide a head-start of sorts.
Read on for the details.
Today EA SPORTS announced that Madden NFL 25 players on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be able to immediately enhance their experience on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with Madden Ultimate Team. The carry-over will apply to those transferring Gen3 to Gen4 across PS3 to PS4 only and X360 to Xbox One only.
Madden NFL 25, which debuts in stores on August 27, is offering the opportunity to transfer up to 1,100 Madden Ultimate Team items onto next-gen consoles, giving you a head-start in building your squad. Players who log into Madden NFL 25 on next-gen consoles with their Origin Account and respective Xbox LIVE or Sony Entertainment Network accounts will be able to bring over 100 active items (55 players, 45 additional items) as well as up to 1000 reserve items from their games on current generation systems*. These players and items can still be used in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game as well, but cannot be auctioned or traded.
Furthermore, Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition players who participate in this offer will also be granted six Madden Ultimate Team All Pro packs for use in their Ultimate Team on next-gen consoles.* ?
Madden Ultimate Team gives fans the opportunity to collect star players, set lineups, and complete collections to earn coins, special packs or rare players and items. In addition to buying packs in the online store, Madden Ultimate Team enthusiasts can post and bid on items and players on the auction block. Throughout the season, Madden Ultimate Team players will find special challenges and rewards for big games, holidays special events and more.
Madden NFL 25 is developed in Orlando, Florida by EA Tiburon and is available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system for $59.99.
