    No reason to pump money into buying the rights of Top 40 music anyhow, put everything you got into original content (gameplay).

      So, hopefully we'll get the option to add or OWN music from the PS3 or xbox360 to play during the menu

        My only question is...Are they trying to brand this score permanently. I mean when I hear Fox NFL's theme I know it, Year to year it doesn't change, Same goes for CBS...So is this the theme they're going to use every year in madden or is it just for this year??

          Sounds like the general consensus is that this is a good thing. I like the Trax though. Yea they could get repetitive but why not just keep EATRAX but still add the new theme song. I would have much rather had the option to add your own music into the game like in FIFA.

            I like this move. I never understand why developers spend money to pay for rights from so & so artist just to have their music in the game. Write something that fits the game. Either that or allow the user to use their own music within the game.

              You don't understand how important this is. I wrote a blog about how important original scores were in gaming. http://www.examiner.com/article/licensed-music-has-helped-ruin-gaming

                I still don't understand why sports games don't tie in with online radio, and provide streaming music instead of standard music that will get old after a few days. I know EA would be more than capable to team up with Pandora or iRadio and deliver this feature.

                  EA Trax were generally awful, so I'm glad to hear this.

                    The little sample clip provided in the article is pretty badass.

                        Normally I'd be against this idea, but last year I think I turned all but 3 songs off so it won't be a bad thing.

                          I actually like having soundtracks in sports games. I've found some really good music through them. But EA sports has done a mediocre job with them in the past couple years, in both the NHL and Madden franchises. The soundtracks have been either too small or too boring, or both. Madden and NHL 08-10 had amazing soundtracks, but they've been lagging ever since. It would've been cool if EA had done a submission thing where you could submit songs you'd like in the soundtrack, but hey, if they think it'll make for a good gaming experience, I'm all for it. I love the score actually, it's awesome.

                            When I look at it from that point of view... You are certainly right imo.

                                I loved the mvp05 soundtrack...after that, I think that the music from asb04 , the baseball sounding stuff lent it a lot of atmosphere
