I don't think a song about a hooker would go over well

Also known as "Chelsea Dagger" by the Fratellis.

Man, that's an amazing idea. I wonder if they can even do that though. I'm guessing they would have to pay the right to all of those songs, artists. Probably would be quite expensive and time consuming.

I am not sure how that would work.

It could go one of two ways:

1) Since it's a sample, rather than the entire song, the recording studio would might do what they do for arenas - which is to waive the fees altogether. It's free marketing for their music. Enough to get you wanting the entire track. EA could incorporate that into the game so that pressing a particular button would give details on the song (artist, album, year) to help someone who wishes to purchase.
2) Using the iTunes/Amazon model - a full song costs .99 cents. That allows you to play it on devices, etc. In this instance, you'd be purchasing the right to play a snippet of their songs on one particular application. Hence, let's reduce the cost accordingly and assume each song snippet is .05/purchase. Using that cost strategy an arena package could have 50 songs for $2.50 at a breakeven price. That would pay off the studios. Add another dollar or two for profit and VIOLA! Payola for EA.

If they *REALLY* wanted to work something out, it could be done.

Still haven't mentioned authentic goal horns.

They've mentioned it multiple times. They have all but confirmed authentic goal horns for all stadiums. They sent a crew to capture them this year. Wouldn't worry too much...

Why should a song that is played pretty much exclusively by ONE club make it into the game as a major song?

I can think of 100 songs that are played at every rink that should make the game before "Chelsea Dagger".

Thanks Bama83 hope they capture all 30 teams.
