Flash back to the early 2000’s for a moment. A new hockey game has come out and you’re amped to test out the gameplay, but know that deep down there’s something else you’re looking forward to more…
The music!!!!
You pop that disc in and BANG! 'Sweetness' by Jimmy Eats World comes on. Is there a better feeling than listening to that soundtrack for the first time? Not really, and although the music from today’s games are still great, there’s just something about those old tunes…
So this begs the question: did the music in EA Sports’ games used to be better or is it just nostalgia? Corwin and DZ spoke with EA’s Worldwide president of music Steve Schnur to discuss the topic on the latest BarDown podcast. You can click here to give it a listen on Apple podcasts! We also just had to ask…
Wow, some SERIOUS bangers to choose from here. This writer is narrowly choosing ‘I hear you calling’ by Gob over 'Sweetness' but hey, that’s just my opinion.
If you’re looking for more from Schnur then check out this interview DZ previously had with him. Just let DZ choose the next soundtrack for NHL 22 for crying out loud!
So… what’s your favourite all-time EA NHL track?
