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

@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.

I dunno anyone who is happy with the music.We try to bring more attention to up and coming artists rather than include classic tunes. I love the classics as well so like @KlariskraysNHL, I tend to turn off the soundtrack and stream music while I play.
- @EA_Aljo Personally I think the best soundtrack from any EA NHL game has to be from 12. You even had full control over what's playing.
Anthrax, Billy Idol, Bush, Dropkick Murphys, ELO, Judas Priest and songs that just jolt my nostalgia as soon as I hear them like Occult Enemies, Standing on the Edge of the Noise etc.
If custom music could ever return I'd harvest my favorite songs from each game, 22 has some great ones too that I've added to my library, but not being able to turn songs I dislike off or simply skip a song makes me just revert back to the NHL theme/ turn on Spotify.
