Okay, folks, let’s dive into this whole “MVP vs Deluxe Edition” thing for NCAA 25. I’ve been hyped for this game, like, really hyped, so I wanted to break it down before I threw down my cash.
First, I jumped onto the PlayStation Store (you can do this on Xbox too, I just happen to be a PlayStation guy) to see the different editions. They had the Standard, the Deluxe, and this “MVP Bundle.” I’m all about getting the most bang for my buck, so I knew I had to compare.
The Deep Dive
The Standard Edition, that’s your basic game, nothing fancy. You get to play, that’s it. Fine, but I wanted more.
Then there’s the Deluxe Edition. Now we’re talking. I noticed it comes with some Ultimate Team packs, which is great because I’m a sucker for building my fantasy team. Also, it gives you early access – three days before everyone else. That’s huge, because I like to get a jump on things.

- Cover Athlete Ultimate Team Pack
Finally, the MVP Bundle. Okay, this is where it got interesting. It includes everything in the Deluxe Edition plus you get the College Football Playoff 25 game too. Now, I’ve heard you could get the CFP 25 by itself, but this bundle seemed to get the best price point and I am all about it.
My Decision-Making Process (aka My Internal Struggle)
So, I’m sitting there, controller in hand, staring at the screen. Standard Edition? Nah, too basic. Deluxe Edition? Tempting, very tempting. MVP Bundle? It’s a lot more money upfront, but I can get both games.
I thought about it, probably for longer than I should have. I imagined myself playing both games, diving into Ultimate Team, getting that early access. And I decided to check out the CFP game by itself, which the MVP bundle kind of priced better for me, in my opinion.
The Verdict
I ended up going with the MVP Bundle. Yeah, it was the most expensive option, but I felt like I was getting the most value. Two games, early access, Ultimate Team stuff – it just ticked all the boxes for me.
I have downloaded both games now, and so far, no regrets! I’ve been grinding Ultimate Team, messing around in Dynasty mode, and getting crushed by the way better players. It’s been a blast.
So, that’s my experience. I hope this breakdown helps you figure out which version of NCAA 25 is right for you. Just remember to think about what you want out of the game, and don’t be afraid to spend a little extra if you think it’s worth it!
