Madden NFL 13 Introduces Original Score, No More EA Trax

I like the change though I hope they kept the Sam Spence tracks.

This is actualy a great Idea. Itd be great to be able to listen to your favorite Radio stations. Also itd be gerat to be able to add your own music to the game (via the music playlists already on your console) or even podcasts.

This is great because, aside from that one year when EA used Iron Maiden and other classic rock bands, EA Trax has always STUNK with the crappy new music that's out today. THANK YOU EA!!

I'm fine with this. Even if the new stuff sucks I'll just listen to whatever is on my iPod instead.

Just that little sample is sweet!!! Love the score! Got me pumped up.

The first thing I thought about when I heard the new "network" them for EA broadcast was theme building on that idea to make various games feel different and as if they are on different networks. We all know MNF has it's own recognizable theme, as well as CBS, FOX, NFLN, NBC, ABC/ESPN, so I want to hear different "scores" to differentiate games, going forward.

I am kind of surprised that with EA having the exclusive NFL and ESPN license, that could add the MNF theme for those games. Not the whole "Are you ready for some football" thing, just the score. Then create their own unique scores for other games but maybe they did this year or a planning to going forward.

This one is my favorite:

It's titled "The Equalizer" which was also my favorite TV show of all time, until "Person Of Interest" came along. Here's The Equalizer theme song:

i want real stadium music. i know a couple use guns n roses. that would be sweet to have in the game. maybe they're saving all the money from ea trax and putting it towards more licensed stadium music. the sticky music thread would seem to suggest just that.
