[Feedback] Kentucky FIght Song

Hello!

First of all, I want to say I appreciate the length that the team at EA has gone to get as much of the gameday experience into CFB25 as possible. Its super awesome to see the attention to detail!

That being said, I have one gripe with Kentucky. The end of the fight song is incorrect, I was in the marching band for 4 years and the alumni band for 3, and I have never heard the end of the fight song performed like that. The only change to the song in the last 20 years was moving it to a different key.

As such, the "first down" song that they play, which in the game is the end of the fight song, is incorrect. Correct version is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csZxNibf0JI

I am hoping this can be corrected, as I'm super passionate about this one in particular. Thanks for all of your hard work team!

  • They did the same with Auburn's - just changed the ending of it. You know UK and AU sent them the right music, so why did they go to the trouble to re-write it? If they had to tighten it up for time, I'd understand. But in some cases they made them longer. I have to admit, the fans singing "Rocky Top" is cool (even if that's not the song they run out to.) 🙂

    Yeah, weird that they'd re-write it and pay to have it re-recorded when there's plenty of in house sources....
