controlling the soundtrack
wish there was a way you could control the soundtrack like other games where you could shut off certain songs!

Community ManagerI play on a TV, but just connect my gaming headset to my Xbox and PC/phone for streaming music. It works really well. Music is so subjective. Everyone's got a different idea for a soundtrack that helps immerse you in the action.
Speaking of soundtrack here we go......

Only downfall of this unique soundtrack is not having Blink182 - All The Small Things
It's fitting for the Avalanche cover star
- @KlariskraysNHL thanks for the update. My guess is they never changed whomever is responsible for music.. I like 3 of the bands (the hives, sum 41, and beck) not those songs though. I don't think I've liked any songs from any of the games since 19. 19 had a handful of tunes and good bands. I have no idea if EA is super handcuffed when choosing music or what goes into this but it's just never a good selection. I'll never know why they just don't go to a real hockey game and just choose music that they play in the venues. It's really that simple.. I'd imagine everyone will just mute the music like every other year..
- @rsandersr47 Using huge popular songs isn't cheap. Like some of the music wrestlers use costs an arm and leg to use yearly. But this year it seems they were trying to diversify the music styles having some known names while also showing love to some indies.
In NHL 23 my fav songs were...
Chilli Jesson – Carolina Reaper
Matt Maeson – Blood Runs Red
Real Friends – Tell Me You’re Sorry
Muse – Kill or Be Killed
Korn – Forgotten
And yeah I let the music play for a week or so before I just put it and use outsourced music while gaming.- @KlariskraysNHL I like muse as a band, didn't care for that song. Carolina reaper was the only song I liked.
It may not be cheap but are they really struggling THAT much? I mean I just feel there are a ton of old and up and coming rock bands that they could use music from (and my guess relatively cheapish)
Greta van fleet, Kongos, royal blood, highly suspect, cage the elephant, the strokes, the white stripes, Arctic monkeys, the struts, rise against, nine inch nails, queens of the Stone age, audio slave, radio head, seether, rage against the machine, OK go, kaleo, thrice, Foo fighters.. all a good mix of alt and rock.. new and old. I've seen a few of these bands in previous games. This is music I would likely hear at a game. Why not hear this in the menu? I mean it's fine if they can't get their most notable songs.. I mean I'll just use spotify but it just makes me wonder who the devs are making this game for? Do they actually have an idea for who their playerbase is? I dunno anyone who is happy with the music.
