After an 11-year hiatus, EA Sports activities is again with Faculty Soccer 25 for this season. And among the many options is an added emphasis on replicating the distinctive atmospheres, pageantry and entrances for high school soccer packages. However given licensing prices for music (or, actually, EA’s unwillingness to pay), it wasn’t possible for each program.
When it got here to Virginia Tech, although, EA Sports activities appeared to get as shut as legally potential to the true factor.
Again in Might, it was reported that Metallica’s Enter Sandman wouldn’t be included in Virginia Tech’s iconic entrance at Lane Stadium for the sport. As a substitute, EA Sports activities would accept a generic rock anthem. That *generic* anthem turned out to be nearly indistinguishable from the precise track.

Positive, there aren’t any vocals, and there are slight adjustments to the track’s development. But it surely’s so clearly attempting to be a duplicate of Enter Sandman — nearly to the purpose that Metallica may take difficulty with it.
Followers definitely appreciated that EA Sports activities tried to return as shut because it may to Enter Sandman. That Virginia Tech entrance wanted to be included within the sport, and this model did it justice.
This was how Twitter/X reacted
