The XBOX One doesn't support user-triggered music download to system storage in any capacity and the PS4 only just got music playback from USB thumb drives into the operating system. On top of that, NCAA Football was created for an entirely different console. The code for the feature as it exists in the previous game is not relevant to its inclusion in a future game on the new consoles.

I'd love to see custom stadium sounds brought back too, but I don't think that we're going to see it anytime soon, unfortunately.

For what it's worth, the PS4 video-editing app ShareFactory also supports importing audio for people to use in their videos. The interesting part is that these files (after importing them into ShareFactory) are still accessible in the app after you remove the USB drive; so they're actually being stored on the system somewhere.

Now, whether or not game developers have access to the same tools that allow this to happen...

You'll still have the option to listen to the orchestrated Madden theme music(25 & 15). I'm not sure if they'll have nfl films music yet.

I'm actually glad they're being EA Trax back. I was over the EA custom music..

This was something that I wanted brought back for a very long time.

Another NFL game without custom soundtracks nor NFL Films music. That's just too bad...

The NFL films music is nice to have but a few years of the NFL inspired music in ready for a change so at least my wife won't complain about hearing the same thing on repeat for hours on end.

Here are my thoughts:

1. Finally I don't have to listen to that horrible looping music that gets old after one offseason.
2. They need to have a lot of songs spanning all genres but probably won't.
3. I don't want to play football and have to listen to the latest teenage pop sensations but I have a feeling that is what is going to come from this a lot of Bruno Mars and One Direction. Nothing against either of them but not what I want to listen to when playing a game.
4. Can we finally have the option to have custom soundtracks even a joint deal with Spotify would be awesome.
