Madden NFL 15 pre-order bonuses revealed

Football fans who pre-order Madden NFL 15 will receive "$15 value of Madden Ultimate Team Content," both GameStop and Amazon have revealed. Announced last week, Madden NFL 15 will be releasing for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3 on August 26 in North America. 

Though EA didn't get into specifics during the announcement, they did hint that this year's game will include "the most immersive defensive gameplay control in franchise history." Perhaps as a way to show their seriousness in tackling the defensive mechanics, the Madden NFL 15 teaser trailer featured Carolina Panthers linebacker and Defense Player of the Year Luke Kuechly transforming "into Madden."

EA will once again be opening up this year's cover athlete to a fan vote. Collaborating with ESPN, fans will have the opportunity to select which player will grace the cover of Madden NFL 15. A special Cover Vote announcement will be made during the NFL Draft on ESPN on May 8 at 8:00pm ET.
