Pre-order Madden Points - Given In Increments?
Quick question, how much money would 4600 points cost if you were buying them after launch? I’m guessing about $40 since that’s how much more the top Madden Cost this year?
With no discounts...about $46(ish).
You get your 4600 points at the beginning. You get 500 per month additionally IF you have EA Play Pro AND play on PC
I'd like for this to be true but I have not found any definitive source that states that. Certainly the words on EA's own site don't say that. Not trying to pick a fight or anything, just looking for clarification
From EA’s Preorder Gridiron Notes (https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/madden-nfl-23/news/gridiron-notes-madden-23-pre-order-details):

**Madden Points will be provided in monthly installments of 500 per month beginning August 16, 2022 and ending July 31, 2023. The first 500 Madden Points will be available August 16, 2022 – August 31, 2022. Each subsequent monthly Madden Points drop will be available beginning the first of that month and ending on the last day of that month. Requires an active EA Play Pro subscription and monthly login to Madden NFL 23 prior to the last day of each month to receive that month’s Madden Points drop. The maximum total of Madden Points that will be offered from August 16, 2022 to July 31, 2023 is 6,000. In order to receive 500 Madden Points each month, you must log into Madden NFL 23 and maintain an active EA Play Pro subscription each month from August 2022 through July 2023. If you do not maintain an EA Play Pro subscription or log in to Madden NFL 23 prior to the last day of any given month, you will not receive that month’s Madden Points drop. Additional restrictions apply. See EA Play Terms for details.
I'm now not sure...gonna keep Googling and I'll update if I find anything.

Thanks - I didn't read that far - shame on me. The 500 points/month is fine with me - I don't care how they do it but now I have another concern:
"Requires an active EA Play Pro subscription"
I though EA Play Pro was only available on PC.

Yep...I think you are right. I updated my post as now I have no clue. Like looking for a needle in...sure...a haystack trying to find the "fine print" on the points.
If you read all of that, you would see that’s referencing only EA Play Pro members on PC.
.5 MHC awarded for attention to detail leading to the removal of possible misleading information (posted by me). Thanks again.
Yep...I see that and now I'm not sure...gonna delete all that as I don't want to mislead anyone and I guess I'll know next week. Good looking out.
The only thing that was said was a monthly amount of 500 points was ea play. Since they were so trash at the ea play packs
That is for EA Play Pro users on PC, not EA Play members. It’s literally specified in the Gridiron notes: https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/madden-nfl-23/news/gridiron-notes-madden-23-pre-order-details

Either way, that’s the only thing that specified monthly
Exactly. EA Play Pro users will receive 500 points every month for logging in - totaling 6000 for the year.
This, however, has no bearing on the All-Madden edition preorder bonus.
I did some searching online and could not find a definitive answer so I posted the question in EA Answers HQ here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Updates-News/Madden-23-All-Madden-Pre-Order-Points/m-p/11720102#M1202 I don't expect a reply but figured it couldn't hurt to go straight to the source and ask
This is actually the first year that they’ve included points as as a preorder bonus. I don’t believe it’s been stated how they would be distributed, but the expected consensus is that they would allot the whole balance at once. Why would it be spread out?
While neither MUT nor points, in the NHL series, pre-order packs have been granted monthly rather than all on day one, so it would not be without precedent for EA to spread out pre-order bonuses. Additionally, flooding the market with coins/items etc from all the pre-orders getting 4600 points at once could adversely affect the auction house

It would have no different impact than the previous team gold packs.
4600 free Madden points would have a much bigger impact than team gold packs. You'd be able to buy platinum packs with guaranteed core elite qs. You're not pulling anything like that consistently from those gold packs
Exactly! Good thing you preordered 😅
It’s already been stated that they are giving them out at 500 points a month… Which is so dumb
I've seen chatter about how people plan to use their 4000 or so Madden points at launch as if the entire balance will be redeemable at launch. Just to make sure, aren't these points given out monthly 500 at a time? Don't want anyone making their initial plans as if they'll have the entire balance available if this won't be the case.
