Madden NFL 13 Introduces Original Score, No More EA Trax

So, hopefully we'll get the option to add or OWN music from the PS3 or xbox360 to play during the menu

My only question is...Are they trying to brand this score permanently. I mean when I hear Fox NFL's theme I know it, Year to year it doesn't change, Same goes for CBS...So is this the theme they're going to use every year in madden or is it just for this year??

Sounds like the general consensus is that this is a good thing. I like the Trax though. Yea they could get repetitive but why not just keep EATRAX but still add the new theme song. I would have much rather had the option to add your own music into the game like in FIFA.

I like this move. I never understand why developers spend money to pay for rights from so & so artist just to have their music in the game. Write something that fits the game. Either that or allow the user to use their own music within the game.

You don't understand how important this is. I wrote a blog about how important original scores were in gaming. http://www.examiner.com/article/licensed-music-has-helped-ruin-gaming

I still don't understand why sports games don't tie in with online radio, and provide streaming music instead of standard music that will get old after a few days. I know EA would be more than capable to team up with Pandora or iRadio and deliver this feature.

EA Trax were generally awful, so I'm glad to hear this.

The little sample clip provided in the article is pretty badass.
