Madden NFL 13 Introduces Original Score, No More EA Trax

That all being said, I could REALLY go for some Ramblin' Man From Grambling. Give me some Sam Spence!

They played a few pieces of it during the webcast today so you should be able to hear it soon. It's a lot like NFL Films orchestral music.

Im a big hip and rock fan but EA trax sucks b/c they picked top 40 songs that were played out on the radio which were stale by the time Madden came out. Not to always use 2k as a contrast but their soundtracks are always fresh b/c 90 percent of the stuff is underground or fresh material.

Glad they went with a more traditional soundtrack. What does this mean for stadium music though? I would've liked them to comment on that.

No reason to pump money into buying the rights of Top 40 music anyhow, put everything you got into original content (gameplay).

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??

[AussieChiefsFan]

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.
