Stop playing with my emotions.

I think it'd be awesome if they went the 2K route and composed the soundtrack with previous popular songs. "Way Away", "It's Me Snitches", etc. got me hype pre-game.

It should work like that for ps4. It worked like that for madden 15. I'm actually looking forward to it. It's not the greatest addition by any means, but it's gonna be great for me when I'm in one of my long practice sessions. Also, in the past, most of the artists that were used were not mainstream by any means. I wonder if EA agreed to put them on Madden if they could share the rights to the songs. It would make sense seeing that, back in the day, being in Madden meant instant artist/song recognition. People knew the songs. I remember on more than one occasion hearing a song from madden outside of madden and instantly thinking that's a madden song. Anyway, I'm not upset about the playlist, especially since it only probably consisted of uploading the songs to Spotify into a playlist then sharing said playlist.

Well. Good News? I always enjoyed the sound tracks. My favorite was the NFL films songs. It just seems like typical EA to take something out and then a few games later bring it back and try and make a huge deal about it.

The spotify thing is cool I guess.

I'm hoping the gameplay news is good. lol

I always enjoyed the "NFL Film" theme songs; for the rest, I just turn them off (more of a classical music guy myself; generally do not enjoy most modern music). If anything, more on the disappointed side of this news, as I found the menu music from the last Madden game or two less annoying than usual in sports games.

sigh, here's to hoping for Custom Stadium Sounds in M17. They have the code for it from the NCAA games.
