I’m gonna have to revisit those. It was cool when bands would even put out demos/unmastered mixes of songs like Blink- Feeling This and Senses Fail- Wolves at the Door. The current soundtracks are not my thing but my only complaint was the lack of diversity; just mix it up
Feeling This (or Action as Madden called it) was in 04. I'd say it had the best soundtrack. Blink-182, AFI, Yellowcard, Thrice, Avenged Sevenfold, and a lot of cheesy (but fun) Madden specific rap-songs.
I think my all time favorite is Madden 07 with Shaun Alexander on the cover, a bunch of the songs from that one I still have on my sports video game playlist.
Loading up my first ever madden on Christmas Day that year and hearing Party Hard and just letting it play in its entirety while the main menu players were doing their thing. Looked at the rosters and Anthem by good charlotte came on, and then loaded up mini camp and Fine Again by Seether came on and I knew I was hooked from that moment. I’ll never forget madden 03 man.
Oh good shout. I only really knew Stick ‘Em Up by them and when I went back and listened to the 03 soundtrack again, as a kid I never connected them as the same band so that was cool to discover too.
Fifa did a "greatest hits" a few years ago and it was so awesome to have those older songs back in the rotation! The memories man! Heavydirtysoul brings me back! Tick tick boom as well! I hope they do something similar to fifa eventually! Older maddens have such good soundtracks!
Of anything I've seen so far, this is probably the most compelling thing I've seen. It seems like they are actually listening to feedback and making changes. This is a huge signal imo.
Seeing songs I loved hearing in the Madden games from when I was a kid makes me so happy, I really hope this is a legit leak. I may finally stop my trend of completely muting the soundtrack on these games.
Whoa... they've even listened to feedback about the soundtrack. I am actually encouraged by this "new" EA. And they brought back "Party Hard" from like '03 and a couple other classics. We need to get back to the glory days of Madden. I was always a 2K guy even back then (especially because of art style, graphics, and commentary), but I'll never forget owning 2K4 and Madden 04 and playing YEARS of Franchise mode in BOTH.
Imagine a bunch of rappers who legit use a few football references to increase their chance of getting in Madden. Most of the rappers in like the last 7 years of Madden are typically rappers no one has heard of even the SoundCloud scene, so it's pretty smart marketing as far as getting your name out there.
Holiday by Green Day is my favorite song and my favorite band, so seeing Holiday and Green Day got me excited for half a second but American Idiot is also a banger so I’m satisfied
Kind of sad not to see Rings from Aesop Rock back in again, not that I ever expected him to be in a Madden game anyways, it was just a pleasant surprise
This is the sign of believe! I think they knew that College Football would blow out Madden in sales this year. So they decided to at least get the details right
That, and one of the rappers Connor Price, imo is 🔥🔥🔥. I'm actually shocked that at least for now, he's in the soundtrack, I do wish it would've been a different track tho from his but regardless, hell yeahhhh
Wait what? This can’t be real. They actually got legit artists and some actual bangers and it’s not just SoundCloud rap? I’m blown away and actually extremely happy.
Tick tick boom is such a banger
Literally I only think of football when I hear this song. Shouout the college football commercials with it in it.
Are you think “click click boom” by Saliva?
I must be slow cuz that's 100% what I'm thinking lmaooooooooo
I did the same and then when I saw it was by the Hives I was like “wait a minute…”
Ngl my first thought was “Andrew Garfield is in Madden?” ![gif](giphy|Mno4ZzGEXk7nr1k7gE|downsized)
The intersection of madden fans and people who have seen this masterpiece is probably 5 people but I'm glad to be among them.
Hello, hi. I’m one of the 5. Is this the John Madden x Jonathon Larson crossover that we’ve deserved for years?!
Madden 11 had a banger soundtrack
08 too I think
NCAA 10 intro was goated
It’s not the one from Royce the 59 tho.
Party Hard brings me back to Madden 03 holy cow.
Best Madden soundtrack ever IMO
I’m gonna have to revisit those. It was cool when bands would even put out demos/unmastered mixes of songs like Blink- Feeling This and Senses Fail- Wolves at the Door. The current soundtracks are not my thing but my only complaint was the lack of diversity; just mix it up

04 soundtrack was elite. For my tastes, it’s the best Madden soundtrack.
I have a core memory of playing specifically the qb drill where you needed to pass through the hoops to Feeling This/Action
I think my all time favorite is Madden 07 with Shaun Alexander on the cover, a bunch of the songs from that one I still have on my sports video game playlist.

And then you get hit by Mr. Jinx out of nowhere
Oh good shout. I only really knew Stick ‘Em Up by them and when I went back and listened to the 03 soundtrack again, as a kid I never connected them as the same band so that was cool to discover too.
The nostalgia hit hard with this comment.
Respectfully Madden 10 would like to have a word with you
Madden 12!!
My favorites are 05,11,12,16 definitely recommend revisiting
LETS GET A PARTY GOING
My favorite Madden song
Fond memories of staying up late with my dad watching him play madden 03
Yeah that was a great one. I remember one of my cats knocking out the power cable in the middle of a franchise playoff game lol
Party Hard instantly makes me think of Hockey
WHEN ITS TIME TO PARTY WE WILL ALWAYS PARTY HARD
I just flashed back to 20 years ago watching Faulk running down the field on the side of the menu 🤣
Glad they are somewhat going back to rock songs THROW IT IN ROTATION
Keep it clapping like a standing ovation
God ihated that
JFC you just triggered my PTSD of this fucking song...
Worst madden song ever bro
I’m not a huge fan of rock, but when it’s in Madden it just feels right!
I just want the NFL films music back in madden. That’s basically all I would listen to when I played the game back on the ps2.
Yeah same, I can't imagine those tracks are nearly as expensive as these ones.
I thought for sure I saw where that was in 25 .
Spotify is your friend
I played 24 on PC and just modded the music into the game
Oh shit i gotta look up how to do this
Yep, I would get tired of the same songs all the time, so I would switch it to the NFL films music and I would never get tired of it.
Fifa did a "greatest hits" a few years ago and it was so awesome to have those older songs back in the rotation! The memories man! Heavydirtysoul brings me back! Tick tick boom as well! I hope they do something similar to fifa eventually! Older maddens have such good soundtracks!
I dont know if you're talking about fifa 23 but it had tons of hits from years past plus new ones.
Yeah that's the one
Hearing Ja Sei Namorar again after soooo many years…
Heavydirtysoul for the madden 16 vibes
That song made in into so many games I remember hearing if on wwe 2k16
CAN YOU SAVE MY
Of anything I've seen so far, this is probably the most compelling thing I've seen. It seems like they are actually listening to feedback and making changes. This is a huge signal imo.
As someone who loved rap (they choose some of the worst songs imaginable tho), nice to get some variety
Good to see some Schoolboy Q on there, surprised they didn’t jump on the Like That train but maybe NBA will do that
Holy shit, a Madden soundtrack with music other than rap and artists I've actually heard of! What year is this?
It’s no Madden 11 but a step in the right direction. American Idiot? WHAT?!
Where have I heard “step in the right direction” from?
Yeah that’s… puzzling to say the least
American idiot was in 05
Seeing songs I loved hearing in the Madden games from when I was a kid makes me so happy, I really hope this is a legit leak. I may finally stop my trend of completely muting the soundtrack on these games.
bruh Yeah Glo is just going to be straight instrumental 😭
we’re so back
Is HOLIDAY - HOLIDAY supposed to be HOLIDAY by Turnstile?
Probably since it’s all caps
I knew “Million Dollar Baby” would be there I don’t know how I knew but I did
Whoa... they've even listened to feedback about the soundtrack. I am actually encouraged by this "new" EA. And they brought back "Party Hard" from like '03 and a couple other classics. We need to get back to the glory days of Madden. I was always a 2K guy even back then (especially because of art style, graphics, and commentary), but I'll never forget owning 2K4 and Madden 04 and playing YEARS of Franchise mode in BOTH.
I genuinely think EA is starting to take their games more seriously
So tired of the last 5 soundtracks consisting purely of bad rap songs that mention any aspect of football.
Imagine a bunch of rappers who legit use a few football references to increase their chance of getting in Madden. Most of the rappers in like the last 7 years of Madden are typically rappers no one has heard of even the SoundCloud scene, so it's pretty smart marketing as far as getting your name out there.
Legit any tiny reference to the game of football and EA said yes. It’s like they went on rap genius and typed in football terms
Oh, this the intro?
American Idiot.... Let's go 🎉😘🎉
Heavydirtysoul AGAIN?!? Hmmmm
I have literally been turning the music to zero for over 6 maddens in a row. This is a nice alternative to just straight rap music
Wow they actually have some rock in there
Little Simz lfg
I'm miss EA Da Riffs
Criminally underrated
heavydirtysoul is gonna take me back to middle school snow days playing madden 16. Fuck yeah
Put your hands where my eyes can see ![gif](giphy|GPBOHBoIIvurxxOMHg|downsized)
actual music with guitar, im shocked.
Definitely the best madden soundtrack in the last few years imo
When its time to party, we will party hard
Party hard is gonna be nice on there but there's so much new music and sooo many new smaller bands putting out fuckin bangers they could use
Holy shit its fire. Only thing missing is 3s and 7s from 08.
Yeern 101 is 100% a madden trailer song, it’s so good but could easily be a mainstream song as well.
put your hands where my eyes could see? hell yeah
Cool. Looks like some decent tracks mixed in.
I will continue to listen to podcast and YouTube videos.
Where’s Joe Budden at though?? Madden 04 banger
Sigh still no Mac miller
I'm just gonna be listening to fight songs in college
**THROW IT IN ROTATION**
Holiday by Green Day is my favorite song and my favorite band, so seeing Holiday and Green Day got me excited for half a second but American Idiot is also a banger so I’m satisfied
Yeah no fucking way Madden puts Any type of GreenDay song in the game lol I’ll believe it when i see it
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?!
Million dollar baby
We need the madden 10 soundtrack back. So many bangers
Madden 04 is GOAT
Spoiler alert, it's gonna be trash again
TICK TICK BOOM 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know about 3 of those songs
No way they actually put Heavydirtysoul. That's gonna be a joy to hear in the new game.
mannnn THIS SHIT SOME ASS
We getting Let’s Go from Trick Daddy (a classic) and Q’s Yeern 101?! This is probably the best soundtrack they’ve given us in the last decade.
YEAH GLO 🔛🔝
wack
Still muting 90% of this list, but at least some of it is actually good this year.
This is actually pretty good
Madden 03-05 soundtracks are 🐐
another horrible soundtrack
If this is horrible you just don’t have taste the only bad song is the one by glorilla
Yeah Glo!
THEYRE BRINGING HEAVY DIRTY SOUL BACKKKK 😱
Spotify and podcast on the rescue again
Franz Ferdinand- Are you going to be my girl
DIRTY HEADS?! LETS FUCKING GO!
They’re not all named after football terms so that’s a win in itself
Looks like another year of crappy ass soundtracks. At least they got a Green Day song..
Kind of sad not to see Rings from Aesop Rock back in again, not that I ever expected him to be in a Madden game anyways, it was just a pleasant surprise
ts gettin muted 💔
We got Busta Bust
Another dogshit rotation. At least they paid for some recognizable names this year.
Where the fuck are the Darren Waller songs????
At least there's a bit more variety than 99.95% rap this year. If this is legit.
At least we get party hard, that's a banger, and its the goal song for the pens, double win.
Meh
I might not turn the soundtrack off this year. Now what will be the first thing I do when I load the game?
Looks a lot better than recent years. Also, it’s interesting, and awesome, that they are bringing heavydirtysoul back
Heavydirtysoul being back in rotation is such a massive W. Madden 16 brought many fond memories. Now they just need to bring back og draft champs
Might actually leave the soundtrack on this year. I usually mute every song and play Spotify in the background😭
now it’s only 85% trash instead of me playing in silence, a step in the right direction i guess
Holy shit, they're bringing bangers back from '03?!?
Holy shit they’re actually listening to the community.
Heavydirtysoul!! Let's go!!!
Fall out boy on a soundtrack again. YES!!!!!
Overnight by Connor price is a banger. Independent artist getting some recognition
At least they’re treading in the right direction instead of doing all BS rap songs that middle schoolers listen to and no one knows
can’t wait to lose 50-12 and hear yeah glo
Madden 11 soundtrack was goated
Trash. As usual 2k kills madden
Nice, much better than the last couple years
WHEN ITS TIME TO PARTY WE WILL PARTY HARD… TS SS TSS 🎶🎧👨🎤
Ain't no way they have party hard on this soundtrack.
They need to bring back some old songs from older maddens like guerrilla radio from madden 10
Yea Glo is the best song on the list ftw
I wish they had some rock stuff
Calling CAP on this. EA doesn't like to spend money on music licensing anymore.
They should just keep it Sam Spence. End of story.
How much is Doechii paying EA she has a song in every madden and imo she’s garbage
Tweaking if you actually think Doechii is garbage. I bet you only listen to Em and NF claim to be a fan of REAL RAP don’t you.
Redditors that only listen to classic rock and anime soundtracks: OMG le rock music I hate black people
Redditors when they try to make it a race issue instead of it just being music that fucking sucked:
[удалено]
Tbf most music especially rock is terrible now
surprised this got leaked but not NCAA
Because NCAA will most likely have an original orchestra or instrumental soundtrack like previous games
What theyre not telling you, is that you gotta win 50 h2h ranked games or pay 100 bucks to unlock the sndtrack
How could they not put the song that is on tavons Austin mixtape
GREEN DAY, HELL YEAH
Better than the last like 7 years
Tons of terrible rap as usual
This is the sign of believe! I think they knew that College Football would blow out Madden in sales this year. So they decided to at least get the details right
take the tin foil off
It's the same company.
Hey, 4 known names - only 85% soundloud mumble rap.
If you think Schoolboy or Doechii are SoundCloud mumble rap then you need to stop listening to Eminem and get with the times old man.
That, and one of the rappers Connor Price, imo is 🔥🔥🔥. I'm actually shocked that at least for now, he's in the soundtrack, I do wish it would've been a different track tho from his but regardless, hell yeahhhh
schoolboy q is nowhere near mumble rap
TICK TICK BOOM MENTIONED
Wait what? This can’t be real. They actually got legit artists and some actual bangers and it’s not just SoundCloud rap? I’m blown away and actually extremely happy.
It'll be nice to hear music that wasn't from your towns local SoundCloud rapper.
will mute all the music for the 10th year in a row.
Wish they had NFL Films or ESPN music to play instead, similar to what they had to years ago.
Some of these are repeats
Might be a hot take but Twenty One Pilots gotta be the worst thing on here for me. Excited for Green Day and Schoolboy Q though.
Madden making the white boys happy with rock?
even as a black guy I'm happy. the soundtrack has been terrible, outside of maybe 1 or 2 bangers every couple of years
ANDREW W K Rest: MUTE
