Aside from featuring Faulk on the cover of the "HOF Edition" instead of "Madden NFL 12" cover athlete Peyton Hillis (complete with a bronze and foil embossed cover), other additions include:

  • Autographed Panini Card: "Madden NFL" and Panini, the world leader in published collectables, have teamed up to create the ultimate "Madden NFL" trading card featuring 2011 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Marshall Faulk. Each copy of the Hall of Fame Edition will include one of four exclusive Marshall Faulk trading cards, each hand-signed by Faulk. One solid, 18k gold autographed card will be randomly inserted into one Xbox 360 and one PlayStation 3 copy of the "Hall of Fame Edition." The lucky recipients of these two cards will have one of the most valuable cards in Panini history.

  • Exclusive Madden Ultimate Team Platinum Pack: The perfect combination of "Madden NFL," fantasy football, and trading cards comes to life in Madden NFL Ultimate Team. The "Hall of Fame Edition" provides a Madden Ultimate Team experience like never before with the most prestigious Platinum Pack yet, featuring a combination of 13 NFL Hall of Famers and former Madden NFL cover athletes, including: Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Rod Woodson, Eddie George, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, Ray Lewis, Shaun Alexander, Vince Young, Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu and Drew Brees.
