This means that if you pre-order the Mamba Forever Edition on current-gen, any MyTeam bonus/progress will carry over to your new console.

This is unfortunately an inferior feature when compared to Dual Entitlement from EA, which will allow players to get a free next-gen upgrade for Madden 21 and FIFA 21 after purchasing current-gen versions of the game. But for now, it’s what we’ve got.
