The music in the game is widely criticized for being repetitive, awkward, and uncustomizable, with some describing it as sleazy and annoying during frequent stoppages. Although each team features unique arena and goal songs, the constant inability to adjust or mute the volume detracts from the overall experience. Players feel that while music variety is notable, gameplay smoothness should have received more developer attention.
- “There are 30 different fictional teams, each one having its own unique arena music and goal songs.”
- “As a skater, you will only play 2/5 minutes in each period, having to wait through the rest of the game, stoppage music and all.”
- “After every stoppage in play, you have to wait for some sleazy music that sounds like it was ripped from an Italian porn film in the 1980s.”
- “Speaking of music, you can't reduce the volume or turn it off, so your neighbours in the next apartment might be disturbed.”
- “If the developer could put half as much effort into smooth hockey gameplay as it did into the music selection, this would be a lot more enjoyable.”
