The standard edition of Madden 18 will be available for the usual $59.99. EA is also offering a $79.99 G.O.A.T. Edition — an acronym for “greatest of all time,” not a reference to the animal — that will allow buyers to start playing three days early on Tuesday, Aug. 22. Madden 18’s EA Access trial, which will let people play the full game for up to 10 hours, will go live Thursday, Aug. 17. Pre-order offers for both editions include the option to choose a special player to use in the game’s Ultimate Team mode www.onlinegameshop.com .
