THe Here We Go Steelers chant will probably be in the game. These are just team "fight songs" not crowd chants. For example we know JETS Jets-Jets-Jets is in, and that is not listed on the list.

Add 2004 as well. I think that was the best soundtrack Madden has had in general.

In fact, everything up to 06 I thought we solid. Everything since hasn't been up to my standards. 10 was alright though.

While I like they're adding more authentic stadium sound tracks, soundtrack seems to be limited in fresh new tracks from known, and unknown artists. Just like one post said in this thread, I like hearing a song on the radio or in TV later on in the year that I heard in Madden first.

@ couple of previous posters....

ian confirmed (twitter) no Bills Shout song....couldn't get rights to original/parody....bummer#1

no custom tracks either...so adding that track (which i have had since my 2k5 days) can't be loaded...bummer #2

M10, the crowd already does chant "DEFENSE....DEFENSE...DEFENSE..."...so i imagine M11 has it again

Very true, didnt think of it like that. I still want my terrible towels! haha

This sucks! Ooh! I'm so upset that they are not launching new artists and new music on Madden. This is a huge downer because it's taking away from elements that make Madden' s release the special release it is. Don't get me wrong, I love the fight songs, but the first time I heard Good Charlotte or Outkast's church on Madden are top 20 gaming moments. Huge mistake EA! Huge mistake! A ton of madden gamers are of African descent. You're clearly not thinking in regards to keeping your product as diverse as possible. I am officially ticked off.

Wonder if this will work....

# 28 shadthedad @ 07/26/10 04:58 PM

I'm sorry, I just had to repost my disappointment. This is one of the main reasons I hate the fact gaming has gone mainstream. You have suits making decisions to make games appeal to a large number of potentially new gamers. This equates to a game having zero soul. Buying Madden used to be like buying a separate music CD. Unfortunately this has changed. So sad.

# 29 patsfan188 @ 07/26/10 04:59 PM

it's alright but there's been better ones in the past. Still better than last years. Like what's the point of Tupac if every word is censored?

# 30 theskinsfan1000 @ 07/26/10 05:11 PM

Can't wait to hear the Skins fight song.

# 31 BMEDAggie11 @ 07/26/10 05:15 PM

Finally, some real music. I was getting so tired of Madden being defined by ghetto rap "music" and upstart punk/boy bands.

# 32 mestevo @ 07/26/10 05:40 PM

I always thought Let It Rock was a Robbie Williams song for some reason, they played the hell out of that at the LV Locos games last season.

What this soundtrack needs is more cow bell!

# 35 SteelBurgher @ 07/26/10 06:00 PM

I will NOT be satisfied until the ENTIRE Purple Rain soundtrack is in the game AND the SB during franchise mode features Prince's **** halftime show! lol jk jk
