Madden Feedback Needed: Name Your Team's Stadium Music

Also, when the Bears start the game by kicking off, they play Burn it to the Ground by Nickleback as Robbie Gould is teeing it up.

On a side note, please get a new version of BDCB if you are going to use it again. It sounds AWFUL (canned) in Madden.

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

I had season tickets for roughly the first 10 seasons of Ravens, I still noticed these songs being played when I watched the games on TV this year (I no longer live in Baltimore).

I think Weclome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses is the song they play before every opening kickoff.

Like many others, Crazy Train by Ozzy gets played once, always before a kickoff if I recall.

Machine Head by Bush gets played once per game, pretty sure always before a kickoff.

All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix version) gets played once per game, don't think it's for kickoffs though.

That Steppenwolf song always gets played once per game, I forget what it's called though ("Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the sound take you away").

They do the "You know you make me wanna shout" song after Ravens extra points, don't know what it's called but famous and used at many sporting events.

Haven't been to a game in a few years but they always did this "Move those chains" chant for Ravens first downs (and there's a section in the lower level of people wearing orange hard hats that are leading it, if they still exist).

They do the "bmm bmm, DEE FENSE!" chant on every third down with the Ravens on D, "bmm bmm" is my impression of the sound the drums make coming from the PA, and then the whole crowd shouts the "DEE FENSE!" part.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, sadly no more home games for Baltimore this season.

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

Hey all,

So I'm looking to find out all that I can about stadium-specific songs for NFL teams in the league. So with that in mind, give me all that you can as it relates to your home squad's stadium-specific tunes!

I'm looking for things that affect kickoffs, 1st downs, red zone, touchdown, play reviews/challenges, general time outs, etc.

I'll take as many responses as you can dish out so name as many scenario-specific moments as you wish as long as they're authentic to that team/stadium.

Thanks everybody.

I'm not writing this to be disrespectful, so please don't take this that way. This thread is labeled that it is for feedback, and as such I wanted to give feedback about the question you are asking.

When I first saw this thread, I actually thought it was supposed to be placed in the NCAA football forum, and I was/am concerned when I realized it's intended place is where you put it. I know the Madden team had success this year with adding entrances to the game, but outside of a few recognizable chants (J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS), the "pageantry" of the game isn't as important to the NFL like it is to college football.

You don't have to look much further then this thread to see that most people really don't even know what song is played and when in NFL stadiums. If this thread was posted in the NCAA Forum asking for the same information, I can all but guarantee you would have well beyond 7 or so pages of response. Most of which would be very detailed and very accurate.

NFL Football is not College Football. The things that are important to college fans are not as important to NFL fans and vice versa. For example, an NFL fan would care more about sack and TD celebrations specific to each player, while a college fan cares more about what song is played in The Swamp after a sack of the opposing quarterback.

I'm not saying some teams don't have some really great stadium traditions, I'm sure most do. I'm also pretty sure most people have probably only been to a handful of NFL games. The professional broadcasts themselves between the two sports are completely different. You're lucky to catch the JETS chant on TV once or twice a game, but you're guaranteed to hear "Rocky Top" a good 30 plus times when tuning into a Saturday in Knoxville.

If your goal with this fact finding mission is to give us the best Sunday experience, then I would say the best information any of us can give back to you guys is to watch the teams home games on television and try to recreate that experience. Taking us to Reliant Stadium or The Link would be kind of cool, but it's not going to have the same effect on your end user as taking us to The Big House or The Zoo.

I hope I've not wasted too much of your time, and I hope you are able to gather the information you are looking for. I just hope you're looking in the right places for things fans notice about both the NFL and NCAA games.

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

Cleveland Browns Stadium

Kickoffs - Usually Crazy Train
TV Timeouts - At least once you'll here Hang on Sloopy by the McCoys (O-H-I-O) song. Which is hard for me being a Michigan fan

Also, having worked for ESPN, FOX, CBS and NBC at Hinez Field.

Needing a Defensive stand - Renegade by Styx and I will admit it is quite a site to see from the field.

[BigVin95]

At Jets Games they play "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, Tripple H's theme song (from WWE), Not Afraid by Eminem all during breaks and Time outs. Advertisements are also shown maybe you cant put the audio from some of those in there. Also every 1st down the announce says: "And that is a Jets..." then the crowd yells "1RST DOWN!" (its louder in more tense parts of the game). The J-E-T-S chant is preformed after every Jets TD or field goal 2 or 3 times right before we kick off, You also make a Fireman Ed figure that you show during cut-scenes after TDs (hes theone that leads the chant). During the 2 min. warning break and in between quarters the Jets flight crew (cheerleaders) does a dance. You could also add the jumbo screen decails to each of the 4 monitors in each corner (Verizon, Bud Light, MetLife, and Pepsi). The player intros also have fire shooting up from big canisters. There also are firewirks sometimes.

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

Tennessee Titans - LP FIELD<O</O

Player INTROS:<O</O
Right before the team comes out of the tunnel the first 2:30 of the song is played:<O</O
O Fortuna - Carmina Burana - Carl Orff
(link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daeG0xLWEmw&feature=related)<O</O
<O</O

Once it gets close to that 2:30 point the announcer says "And here they are your (Insert current year here) Teeeennneeeeesssseeeee Titannnns." while the players start running out of the tunnel. After the word "Titans" the music switches to <O</O
Hell's Bells - ACDC <O</O
This is played all the way through until the end of the indvidual starters being introduced.<O></O>
<O</O

Kickoffs: <O</O
On the opening kickoff when the players start to take their kickoff postions. <O</O
The song:<O</O
Let's Go - Lil John (clean version of course) plays. Over that song we get a rendition of Michael Buffer's Lets Get Ready to Rumble!
The sequence goes like this:<O</O
song starts then on that Buffer says "Titans fans are you reaaaady?...(pause)....LETS GET READY TO RUUUMMMBLE!!!! song plays till the ball is kicked"<O</O
<O</O

All other kickoffs are just generic stadium pump me up music. <O</O
<O</O

False Starts:<O</O
Every time the opposing team false starts Ric Flair comes on the jumbotron and does his WOOOOOO!!! a few times. <O</O
Here is the exact video (Also used during key need noise making events):<O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kix8y...eature=related<O</O
& Here is the video used on the jumbo tron after 3rd false start:<O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGd-M...eature=related<O</O
<O</O

Timeouts/TV Timeouts:<O</O
In both the 1st and 3rd quarter in one of the Timeouts they do the packers famous "Go PACK Go" Instead of Go Pack GO its GO TITANS GO with a different beat! <O</O
Here is the song/Chant:<O</O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWGV4...eature=related<O</O
<O</O

At the end of the 3rd going into the 4th TV time out. They play the song: <O</O
Johnny Cash - Folsum Prison Blues

It plays but suddenly it stops then Terry Tate (the office linebacker) comes on the jumbotron and does his "pain train" thing then the song starts again and the crowd sings along till play resumes. <O</O
Here is a video of how the sequence goes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGFforiyDx4


Field Goals Good:
When the Titans kick a successful field goal this song is played:
The Knack - My Sharona

It is actully a remix instead of saying "My Sharona" at the chorus of the song it says "My Bironas" in honor of our current kicker Rob Bironas.

Touchdowns/PAT:
9 times out of 10 when the Titans score a TD this song is used:
Whoomp There it is -TAG TEAM
The song starts at the chorus "whoomp there it is..whoomp there..."then plays till the PAT is attempted. After the PAT is attempted usually it switches to a generic stadium pump up song until the kickoff happens.

Turnover,Big stop by defense:
Usually on a turnover this song is used:
Song 2 - Blur
Usually starts at the chorus where he says "wooo hoo..." then plays till ready for play.
I have also heard this on big stops by the defense.

Challenges/Replays:
During challenges and video review this song is used:
Foreigner - Double Vision
This plays until play is resumed.

End of Game:
If the Tians win it's usually these two songs:
Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack
Kool & the Gang - Celebration
When its a loss its usually just a random generic upbeat song. I've noticed no particular song choices in this one.

My family has had season tickets since day 1 back in 1999 when the Titans moved to Tennessee. I started going to all the games starting back in '04 and have only missed 2 games since then. I'm sure i missed something but thats about as best as I can remember on what is played during the games.

I hope this helps. I can't wait to see what the audio rehaul is going to look like. We already have half the step to an authentic gameday experiance,which are the team intros. I hope we can get the stadium specific audio to go with those. It will bring the game to a whole new level.

Also thank you for communicating with US. IMO it is always reassuring when we have somebody that's making the game to peek their head in and asking questions to the people that love the game and to get their feedback on helping making the game better.

I felt no disrespect, quite the opposite. If I may go off on a tangent for a moment, it always seems like the ones who say "I mean no disrespect" are generally the most respectful online.

Anyway, I agree with you about the pageantry, but I think it would be more about bringing something authentic to the table with this music stuff. In addition, I also agree with you that authentic in NFL football does certainly relate more to delivering authentic personality to the players rather than proper stadium music.

Beyond that, yes I think the first focus should be delivering a TV-like experience before a stadium-like experience for a NFL game.

The feedback is appreciated.

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

ChaseB, I see your the new audio designer. First, congratulations on that. Second, I understand your looking for stadium music but I'm pretty much agreeing with the previous poster reference the NCAA and Madden comparison.

Reference the audio in Madden, if you could turn the volume back up on the player chatter on the field that would be greatly appreciated. I'm confused as to why the volume was ever turned down in the first place, but it added a great deal to the immersion. The only version I remember it being available was 08.

I'm sure it's still there because you can hear it very faintly in the background but it seems to be disconnected from the "on the field" volume slider in the settings menu. With the slider maxed out I'm expecting to hear the contact sounds and **** talking on the field. Theres nothing like hearing the defense yelling "run run!" or " don't come this way", etc, etc. Thanks.

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

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.

Thank you. Going to update my original post with your observations, if you don't mind...fireworks go off after every PAT/field goal at Ralph Wilson Stadium, just before "Shout" plays.

Speaking of "Shout", the fans clap along with the beat and chant in response with the "HEY-EY-EY-EY" portion that the Madden version begins on. Probably the most popular portion of that theme and the one that gets the most people fired up. Would be awesome if Madden captured this in-game. You don't hear it that often on TV but it is LOUD in the stadium. Just think what would happen if this team was consistently successful!

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

I'm pretty sure they've been mentioned but just wanted to stress the two biggies for the Steelers:

Alan Parsons Project's Sirius for intros and Styx' Renegade, once per game when the defense takes the field needing a critical stop.

It would be AMAZING if you could get these into the games, or at least allow us to import our own music. It's awesome that you have the "Heath" and "Here we go Steeler" chants in there, but those two songs are MASSIVE parts of the Heinz Field experience. Oh, and be sure to tell someone in the art dept to get some Terrible Towels waving up in there.

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

OAKLAND RAIDERS

entrance music is hells bells by AC/DC
after each touchdown the raiders theme song is played (easy to find but i dont know who made it)
during kick offs they play multiple different songs but i hear welcome to the jungle the jungle and for whom the bell tolls the most. hope this helps. would love to have these songs playing in madden.

if i may suggest, why not just give the users the ability to assign mp3 songs to different things. i know a TON of people have been asking for that feature for years.
