Over the course of E3 week, in addition to trailers and feature news, EA Sports rolled out the pre-order incentives and special editions for FIFA 16, NHL 16, and NBA Live 16.
Similar to Madden NFL 16, which had it’s info go out earlier, the games outside of Live are essentially being offered in different tiers now. That, of course, is related to the amount of up-front Ultimate Team content desired by consumers.Â
Madden and FIFA have the $100 digital-only “super deluxe versions” but NHL 16 and NBA Live 16 are not yet available for pre-order digitally so it’s unclear if they’ll have that option as well.
