I can think of 100 songs that are played at every rink that should make the game before "Chelsea Dagger".
Because they won the cup, and they're on the cover. Thats my opinion anyway.

If you want "completely custom soundtracks", this is what they added the custom music feature for. They're making progress, but I don't think that's enough tracks honestly.

Arena Music DLC...I think that's a damn good idea. I mean, how much money do the labels make off Rock Band/Guitar Hero? Tons. It's like ringtones. In fact, they should call them "RinkTones". LOL...

When you first install/activate the game, there could be a 60 day trial of tons of songs. Or maybe they're limited by number of "plays" or something. You get a free 'starter pack' of generic BIP songs for free, as an act of good faith. Then you can buy the ones you want (or import them yourself if you want to spend the time).

If you hear a cool song during the game and wanted the full version, there would be an optional post-game menu with a playlist of all the songs that were played, where you can buy the full song.

Maybe an "EA Music Store" in the main menu, again like Rock Band. Or sell packs (team/playoffs/holidays) on the PSN/XBox stores.

Prices should be reasonable...full track 99 cents, and arena edits for less (30 cents?).

All of this being said, I don't mind importing my own music (and would be FURIOUS if they removed that feature!), but it is very time consuming, even downloading community made packs. Takes time to make all the playlists and stuff. I don't mind paying for fairly priced, time-saving features.

So there you go EA, now go forth and make million$.

Enough to get you wanting the entire track. EA could incorporate that into the game so that pressing a particular button would give details on the song (artist, album, year) to help someone who wishes to purchase.
.
Actually, an arena will pay a royalty to the ASCAP just like a restaurant or bar would for public performance and playback of songs. And it isn't cheap. That licensing doesn't really apply for a game, because it would be distribution, which is an RIAA thing.

Although, I agree a soundpack for a team would be some nice DLC to get, if they price was right.

Wow.. love the soundtrack this year.

I had all my own songs in the game last year and was just telling a friend of mine I was going to put "Your Betrayal" in the game this year for sure as an intro song for my Blues.
