After an 11-year hiatus, EA Sports activities is again with School Soccer 25 for this season. And among the many options is an added emphasis on replicating the distinctive atmospheres, pageantry and entrances for prime faculty 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 attainable to the actual factor.
Again in Could, 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 an alternative, EA Sports activities would accept a generic rock anthem. That *generic* anthem turned out to be virtually indistinguishable from the precise tune.

Certain, there are not any vocals, and there are slight modifications to the tune’s development. However it’s so clearly attempting to be a reproduction of Enter Sandman — virtually to the purpose that Metallica may take challenge with it.
Followers definitely appreciated that EA Sports activities tried to come back as shut because it might 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
