Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

[Aggies7]

I love the idea of asking us but whenever these are in the game you cannot hear them because the volume is so low.

All I have is IN COM PLETE after opposing teams incomplete pass in Denver.

Also watching the Broncos play in Baltimore noticed after every Ravens first down the play a sound like chains clinging together and say first down. Grew to hate that considering they got a lot of first down on the Broncos the last two times.

Re: Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

Buffalo Bills - Ralph Wilson Stadium

Kickoffs: "Seven Nation Army" - The White Stripes (fans chant along, see: Italian National Soccer Team, 2006)

Touchdowns: "Black Betty" - Ram Jam. Starts immediately from the trademark guitar riff, I believe, then goes into the verse before the extra point. PA announces details of touchdown (yardage gained, player name/number, et cetera) while song plays.

Away Team's Offense Before Third Down: The sound of a boxing bell tolling, but mostly silence on the PA other than "third down, (team name) at the ____ yard line". Mainly done for fan cheers/chants which normally begin to swell immediately after the aforementioned announcement.

Notable "Generic" Stoppage Songs I've Heard: "Slaughtered" - Pantera, "Shipping Off to Boston" - Dropkick Murphys, HEAVY reliance on classic rock including some guitar instrumentals from the likes of Joe Satriani, along with top 40 pop ("Party Rock Anthem" et. al.) Pretty straightforward and unimpressive.

Kickoff Returns: Not sure if they use it anymore, but the public address played the sound of stampeding buffalo (along with a video on the scoreboard) but I'm pretty sure they dropped that this season. If other Bills fans can add some more depth on this topic, I'll be grateful.

PA Announcer Style: Our actual PA announcer may change next year due to his employment at a radio station that isn't carrying the Bills any longer. Regardless, his cadence during pass plays usually consists of something like this: "Fitzpatrick's pass...complete to Johnson...gain of ten...first down Buffalo." From what I remember, the same bell that tolls during the "away team on third down" instance happens again in this situation.

I live just two minutes away from Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park. Frankly, "The Ralph" is a bit generic in terms of game-day atmosphere and there isn't really much in the way of trademark music or public address shoutouts, especially compared to other stadiums. If my memory returns, I'll be glad to add to my post.

Thank you for your consideration!

To add to this. After the game (or maybe just after wins, as the two games I went to this year were both victories), This City by Patrick Stump is played.

So THAT'S what it is. I always think it's "Let's Go D"

Now I know. Thanks

Re: Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

since this is an audio thread, this kinda goes with the idea....

i would like to see some type of decibel meter on the screen at various times like kickoff, big 3rd down stops, turnovers, etc with the crowd noise going crazy...adds to a home field advantage...

(i know this example is basketball related, but the when the 98 bulls played in utah in the finals, they would show the decibel meter on the screen, and it just added to the atmosphere of the game)

Re: Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

Again, just to be clear, this is nothing more than a fact-finding mission but it's still all helpful stuff.

Thanks so far, keep it coming!

I don't understand why you don't go straight to the source? Call the Audio/Video department ( or something there of) at each stadium and ask them. I mean I know a guy that works for the Chiefs in their a/v department. I would think you guys would have access to these people. I'm sure they would give you everything you need to know in a more accurate way. Plus you don't have sift through pages and pages of people's posts.

Ravens:

"Seven Nation Army" - White Stripes - Before every big defensive stand. The crowd shouts "OH" during the entire song. Here is a link:

Chase,

I like that you guys are doing this but it would probably be easier to just let us do it like 2k does with NBA and MLB 2k. Custom music would allow Madden's audio team to focus on things like crowd noise and chants and save EA money because they won't need to license all these songs to be authentic. Please push for this. Thanks.

I agree 100% with this. Just give US the option to put whatever music we want to hear in the game.
I understand wanting to be "authentic"...but unless you're a season ticket holder, the at home fan doesn't even GET to hear a majority of the stadium music....so I would think it would just be easier to let the user customize the game to their own liking.

The 49ers just started a tradition in these playoffs where they play Future's "Tony Montana" prior to, and leading up to every kickoff.

[SuperKyle]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Raymond James Stadium

"Crazy Train" before every kickoff
"A Pirate's Life for Me" once or twice a game coming out of TV timeouts
The NFL on FOX theme going to TV timeouts (or NFL on CBS if it's a CBS game, which is when AFC teams are visiting)
"Tonight's gonna be a good night" (Black Eyed Peas?) when the victory appears salted away in the 4th.

Signed, a one-and-done Bucs season ticket holder.

Re: Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

Most of the Bills stuff is correct. The "boxing bell" sound hasn't been used as much the last few seasons. They still do the charging Buffalo's (also seen charging through snow during the winter months). An instrumental version of "burn it to the ground" by Nickelback is used for player introductions. Also a canon or firework sound after every touchdown, pat, or field goal, and also during the National Anthem. With going to as many games as i have they really need to update their sound system. It's horrible.

San Francisco 49ers special teams dancing to "Tony Montana"
Every kickoff

San Francisco 49ers special teams dancing to "Tony Montana" every kickoff !

Re: Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

This most likely has been said, but the Steelers have these:
Player Intros: Sirius (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCR85u9QngQ)
4th quarter, on defense: Renegade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXhuso4OTG4)

Alright. Here we go.
First though, can you try and relay the message about CROWD NOISE as part of the audio? I really want to FEEL the home field advantage...

San Diego Chargers
Any Kickoff - Crazy Train by Ozzy
Challenging A Call - "Oh No You Didn't (Mercenaries 2 Anthem)" by Wojahn Brothers
Chargers Touchdown - Austin Powers saying "Yeah Baby" (not really a song I know.)
Chargers First Down -The Charge sound effect. Doo do do do do dooooooo CHARGEEEE
End of Game Chargers Victory - Bro Hymn by Pennywise

The chargers also use "All I do is win" by DJ Khaled after a win

I hate to correct my fellow Madden Planeter but Kev is actually partially wrong about the Bears. BDCB is played after PATs and FGs. The Hives' Return the Favour is what they play after Touchdowns. (Maybe Kev was too busy getting the flags ready to notice ) Also, they only play Crank That for key kick returns. They were playing other things for Devin this past year.
