The Need for Custom Music

[Cycloniac]

This year's NHL-game has its issues and lacks certain things, but the main problem with it is the lack of customization. One particular feature that was a bright spot for the franchise in years past was the ability to add custom music.

Simply watch these videos showcasing my music pack, and listen to the difference in the atmosphere.




Bring this feature back EA. The game just isn't the same without it.

your music pack is far authentic than EA! Especially the goal horns of every team.

One thing that isn't in EA's power. Take it up with MS and Sony.

Not true.

Sony added the functionality to store music on hard drives with update 2.0.

Sorry. Check your facts, bud. Only to a USB drive not on the HDD of the PS4 itself, which is what games would need to play "custom" music like what you are speaking of.

My mistake.

Even so, it would still be possible to use the music from the USB drive, theoretically, if Sony added the ability to make playlists like in the past.

Yeah, but it is still dependent upon Sony to do anything first. Which they have dragged their feet over getting us to this point. Then we have to rely on EA handling it from there. Put it all together and it doesn't feel very close to becoming a reality anytime soon.

I agree though. I have been putting ditties into my NHL games since the late 90's. It was one of my favorite things to do on the PC version and then once we were able to do it for the console versions it was awesome as well. Ads so much to the game.

EA needs to pony up for every NHL teams goal songs. They could do without the music soundtrack they put in the game.

Regardless I would have bought NHL this year if it had custom music or at the very least Chelsea Dagger for my Hawks.
