Few game genres lead players to spend more time on menu screens than sports games. The menus are where a lot of people have the most fun as they reconstruct rosters, create custom players, or create chaos with rule changes. The playing space is merely the playground for what takes place in the menus. The people who play sports games like this are also the ones who typically choose to mute the soundtrack of the game. After hearing the same songs constantly it becomes grating and they’d rather deal with silence than listen to the same tracks over and over again.
