Re: Song List for MVP Baseball 2005!!!

actually, whoever mentioned playing more metal (old metallica) and top-20 hits would be more accurate in assessing what's played at baseball stadiums during baseball games. baseball players are jocks. they like that stuff. and, secondly, indie is not a genre...but i get what you're saying - less commercial crap/better music. i, personally, like the ability to customize my own soundtrack (i.e.: espn NFL 2k5) and this would be good to actually implement into EA games.

I don't mean to split hairs, but I would say that indie-rock specifically is a genre, an offshoot of the more generalized and all encompassing genres of rock and within that, alternative.. which you can then whittle down into more specialized subdivisions like shoegaze, dream pop, etc(which would branch off of indie-rock or whatever). Apologies in advance for being such a stickler over such a trivial issue.
As for the soundtrack to MVP 2005..I don't care much for any of the featured artists.. And I can't help but be annoyed that EA has yet to allow the user the ability to utilize the custom soundtrack feature...

Re: Song List for MVP Baseball 2005!!!

I'm sorry, but anyone that thought that last year's soundtrack was the best is insane. That wasn't music....it was people singing one line over and over and over again until the end of time. I swear to god, every time I heard that "things were good when we were young" song I had an urge to throw something at the TV...the same 3 keys of music and the same verse sung over 50 times in one 2 minute song is NOT MUSIC....IT'S PEOPLE BEING OVERLY ANNOYING AND SELLING IT AS MUSIC....I have to agree with that guy who made the comment about Roseanne sounding better than that crap. It's funny, though, listening to youngins trying to reinvent genres and calling real rock and metal music "emo" . In all seriousness, realistically, a good mix of realistic to the sport songs would be a mix of Rap, Metal, R&B, and Country. I don't really see how anyone could hate "The Natural" music, even after hearing it time and time again....because the way it starts and ends is almost seamless....you can barely tell, and as such it's hard to be annoyed by one song playing over and over again. Trustcompany had the most bearable song on the track last year, and even IT was unbearable! People, this isn't New Rock....it's....as you youngins like to put it nowadays....EMO....and if it's not emo it's severely WANNABE PUNK ROCK...and nothing is worse than that. Having grown up in Seattle, I can tell you I've heard my fair share of whiney musicians whining about crap that doesn't matter, and I heard it often (sometimes they'd play it 3 times in one hour on the radio)....and I sure as hell don't want to hear it anymore....whiney rock gets HELLA annoying after you've heard it nonstop for years....Ultimately my point would be that if the band performing the song can't form a song with at least 50 different words in it, that tells some sort of story or at least makesa point, it's NOT MUSIC!!!! EA SERIOUSLY needs to revamp their soundtrack choices...in reality I seriously doubt they will, but I can hope, can't I?

Re: Song List for MVP Baseball 2005!!!

having the music on did nothing but slow my menu screens down (xbox) and make player editing an unenjoyable chore, cause one in every 3 times it would freeze and give me the DDE, and when it didnt it would run slow. So i turned them off and turned on my stereo instead and the game ran fine... I hope what ever caused the slowdown and the DDE has been resolved so that way I can give the music a chance (but if the movies are any indication, the soundtrack is not up my alley) I do admit though....I will miss hearing that guy sing about his "coco".
