Most soundtracks in games are made one of two ways: Either you go with a soundtrack from bands that are incredibly popular or they are kept in-house and designed by composers themselves. It looks like EA Sports is going to buck the trend and go with a very diverse group of artists for their soundtrack. Boasting 39 artists from 15 different countries, many fans of FIFA 12 are going to be exposed to plenty of music they have never heard of. Soccer is the world's beautiful game, and they are keeping it that way by including music from all around the world.
Roster Features The Ting Tings, CSS, Kasabian, Chase & Status, Grouplove,
The Strokes and Foster The People
