I'm sure EA has a reason....$$$.
I don't know about you guys but I usually turn off all the regular music and I just use the NFL Films soundtracks for my playlist...regular and remix ones. (some of the remix ones are real good).
so anyway, if there are alot of other gamers doing the same thing, I'm sure EA knows. They are able to follow what features us gamers use, so I wouldn't be surprised if they can tell which music we use as well.
now the question is, does EA have to pay these artist and record companies to use their music? or do record companies pay EA to put their music in Madden. I mean I know I would, if I had the option. You have the same music playing over and over, while gamers are getting ready to start their games or working on their franchise. I'm not going to lie, there are genres of music I'm not usually interested in, but when its played over and over in Madden....it gets catchy...and next thing you know, you are singing along nodding your head.
so that all being known, if gamers
are choosing to uncheck these types of songs...but are only using the NFL Films ones....then I can see EA having a harder time selling soundtrack space to potential record companies for a certain amount of moolah, with data showing what might be going on.
I doubt disk space was an issue.....so what else can it be?
wait wait...before you post that pic...I'll do it for you
