UPDATE: - EA updated the Buffalo Sabres goal horn, it has 3 blasts now, which makes the horn more accurate. - The Philadelphia Flyers use 3 blasts now instead of one, so the horn in the game is now outdated. - The Calgary Flames use 2 blasts again, so I guess the goal horn presser was just hyped on opening night or something :D
U can’t even get the rangers horn when u build an arena though which is funny lol…i just don’t get how EA can do good at some horns but not others but then the good ones they take out in other games and then they say it’s good lol
i wish we could import custom music in game like we used to be able to do back in the Xbox 360 days. The goal horns, penalty kill music, powerplay (etc)
This is exactly why a PC version of the game is badly needed! With mods it can easily be fixed, at least for the offline modes. We just have to accept that EA will never deliver the accurate horns and songs. Whether it's for licensing issues or pure laziness they will never get it all right. Not only the horns but so many details that could be fixed or added with mods in place! Ex : accurate goalie masks, more accurate player faces, real coach and referee faces, more historical jersey not in the game, more teams/leagues added, accurate arenas for non-NHL leagues, more scoreboard choices, and so much more.
Don't know if you knew already, but it was possible to put custom music in PS3 NHL games (11 to Legacy Edition) via USB stick. This included menu music, goal songs, goal horns, and many other choices. I just don't get why they decided to cut that feature off. You can still put a USB stick that contains media files to PS5, and I assume to XBOX as well.
@@ThePuckPlace Yes I do remember that! One of the best feature idea they had in franchise history! Such a shame it has never been brought back. Nowadays they don't care at all about these quality of life features that makes such a big difference at the end.
@@ThePuckPlaceyou can but you can’t add custom music to nhl 24 in the game like you could on ps3 and Xbox 360. It’s so stupid they can’t take it out I used to download the horns and songs to make them accurate back in the day. What’s the point of using a usb stick now if you can’t change the horns?
I haven't bought an NHL game since 2016, and before that it was 08 xD Their inability to capture the actual energy of the game just spoils it. The celly cams they're doing now are stupid,. 99.9% of goals the head-pat circle is done somewhere in the offensive zone. Not the red line by the penalty boxes. Goal celebrations are usually just excess emotion boiling over and being expressed to the fans the moment the puck goes in too. That's the energy of a celebration. It feels so soulless to me, because I've played hockey for my entire life. Also never having any of the goal songs bothers me. Like seriously just put some effort in to that part maybe. Also the fact that there's a few glitch goals every year, and all the other quirks drive me batty.
Oilers horn is very annoying. If a horn could be the embodiment of that one 5 year old cousin you have that your parents told you to play with, it would be this horn
It sucks that all of NHL video games get the Anaheim Ducks goal horns wrong. This is why it breaks the immersion of the game. I always like it when the goal horn is accurate, and this is how to feel immersed when scoring a goal. In NHL 2k5, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim goal horn is the 1995-1996 New York Islanders goal horn. I mean, wtf. At least, the NY Islanders and Detroit Red Wings in NHL 2k5 were accurate, which is why I often play these teams. Other fans of their favorite teams with in-game inaccurate goal horns will know that unrealistic inaccurate goal horns break the immersion of the game. The irony in this video is that the JLA Red Wings goal horn is inserted (yeah, immersion feels unrealistic), but there are Red Wings fans that want to keep that goal horn. The JLA goal horn is one of the best goal horns in NHL history, and that's quite an honor for even Mighty Ducks/Anaheim Ducks fan to say that. Computer-generated goal horns and poorly recorded goal horns shown in this video really makes my ears bleed. Well done for putting this video together. Thanks a bunch!
Their goal horn in NHL 24 is so bad I feel offended lol. I grew up in Edmonton and absolutely love their horn irl. So unique, the EA's version is sheer laziness and bad
something i’ve noticed about newer NHL titles is that EA barely pays any attention to sound and rink ambience, go to older titles, 14 is a great example of attention to detail with sound design
I like how for each horn, when he shows what the horn actually sounds like he makes sure he picks a clip where the announcer matches who scored in game
Generally… the hurricanes one last season sounded refurbished and more powerful near the end of the season and into the playoffs. Way more growl than it used to have. Was kinda looking forward to it being in the game as they are my favorite team. But no. Either they or EA just doesn’t care enough
10:57 it’s the real goal song, but it’s an outdated version. Early in the 2010s they remixed it and you don’t hear the “let’s go rangers” vocals anymore.
As a Blues fan, I actually like the song after the horn better this year… The organ sounds more pronounced and accurate to me. I just wish it would fully complete before the next puck drop - it gets cut off early almost every time.
The old horn used at JLA is definitely classic and what I think of for Detroit. But, it sounded horrible at LCA. I like that it’s an actual horn and the new tone is kind of synonymous for this era of the Wings. They’re getting closer and closer to being a playoff contending team
@@UO51777 for that reason, the horn makes no sense. We made the playoffs every single year we had the old horn at the joe. The horn at the LCA before was weak, but at least it still sounded like the one from the joe. I just wish they'd taken more time to make it sound more like the original, because it definitely sounds more generic to me now
Nah its not, I went a few weeks ago and have recordings on my channel. The recording is outdated and last season they added a bell to make it sound better.
They just fixed Buffalo's. It has the 3 blasts now. This was from the most recent update. Most of the others are the same. Was hoping they fixed Ducks and Hurricanes but they're the same.
i am so dissapointed by the lack of attention the goal horns get each year in this game. there are youtube channels who make better reproductions of them at home.
I really wish they gave a single heck about the AHL. I’m a condors fan and all the arenas are the same and so are the horns. Really wished they cared more about
Yea, and not only AHL has that one train horn, they use that for every other league as well... That is why I would love to see custom music feature from PS3/X360 NHL games to come back.
I don't know understand why people think we need horns as bad as we need accurate jerseys. The monospaced lettering on some of these jerseys is ridiculous. Looks nothing like the real thing.
As a hurricanes fan, I have been to a lot of games and quite frankly the horn in the game is way inaccurate, and it’s pretty sad that they always use the same horn for Carolina in every game.
I think you have to take the sound of the arena in real life, cause let me tell you something, what you hear on tv, broadcast whatever... you have equalizers and compressions that alter the sound. of what you hear in this video. Example: Ducks horn: "oh its too high pith compared to real life its really bassy." Maybe its like that for real too, but don't make your opinion on what you hear on broadcasts cause it's really different than irl. I'm a musician and sound engineer, I know what i'm talking about.
Worst ones - Columbus still has what I call the "Bissell Vacuum Recording" from NHL 07. The PS2 horn for Columbus was closer. - Washington's recording is from the KOLZIG era of the team. That's how old the recording is. - St. Louis fixed their horn the year before the Gloria run. There's no excuse to still be using the, at the time, mostly accurate horn from the Backes years. - Anaheim, shafted on each end like always. NHL 2K9 and 2K10's horns actually sound close. Y'know why? They sent their AMERICAN audio people to get recordings of the actual horns in an empty arena. EA is literally situated in Burbank. Do the same.
UPDATE:
- EA updated the Buffalo Sabres goal horn, it has 3 blasts now, which makes the horn more accurate.
- The Philadelphia Flyers use 3 blasts now instead of one, so the horn in the game is now outdated.
- The Calgary Flames use 2 blasts again, so I guess the goal horn presser was just hyped on opening night or something :D
Is it just me or is the blue color for every team slightly off?
@@Woofdogman The format changed during the transfer from PS5 to PC, so that might be the case.
the rangers one is the best in nhl😊
Buffalo formerly used 2 blasts a couple of years ago
U can’t even get the rangers horn when u build an arena though which is funny lol…i just don’t get how EA can do good at some horns but not others but then the good ones they take out in other games and then they say it’s good lol
I don’t understand why can’t they just take a recording of the real horns? Either live or a recording of each one
They did that on the buffalo sabres
I think its up to the teams unfortunately to send the recordings
@@connorbroderick8742 go to the games and record it with their own audio team
I know right
@@HectorGoanimateI’m a Sabres fan and it still doesn’t sound good tho
what’s really sad is i bet theyll probably make an “updated nhl goal horns pack” and charge 9.99 on it
These types of videos are really neat, and I'd say important too. Thanks for making this comparison! It was neat to see.
Thank you so much!
It’s sad that the outdated recording used by EA for the Red Wings is better than the horrendous recording the real life Red Wings used to use
Yea the real recording was really terrible
Red wings goal horn is out dated anyways since they got the new one
@@ThePuckPlacethe new one is very similar to the Panthers and I don't like it lmao
@@hawx_23youre in the minority
Remember the old joe louis horn ! Especially the ones from them cup run in 2008 and 2009 .. miss that horn
They should also add the goal song to nhl 24

just imagine the how much better the commentary could be if u listen to this

If its local and offline, there literally should be no issue with it.
i love how he scores goals with the same player as in the broadcast
4:11 "Taylor Hall at the end of a long pee"
can someone try and get in touch with EA and discuss this? I've paid 70 dollars for almost every NHL game and the goal horns aren't even accurate
You are the definition of insane. 😂😜

Rational consumer...
Must be a rights issue with some horns and goal songs.
The Blues horn is longer at times. But why tf is the song so broken lmao. It was perfectly fine the last 2 years
That Washington horn pre dates ovi
I know its about the goal horns, but the real announcers make the game feel better
I agree!
This is exactly the video i wanted to find. Thank you for the love and attention put into making it
Thank you! The 2025 edition is out now! ruclips.net/video/1DXMARDHScU/видео.html
As an Oilers fan, I'm glad that they finally changed it, the old one sounds like the Rexall Place one
That bass of the song starting right when the horn does is SO 🔥

Yea audio is like 50 % of the whole experience
The hawks should never have raised the horn into the rafters back in 18. It sounded so much louder and more powerful when it was lower.
They fucked the blue jackets wow, I love their “it’s about to rock, FIRE” idk how they can’t put that into the game lmao
Exactly one second into this video and never played NHL 24 and I already know the answer to this question is no.
That's unfortunately the case.
I always tell people Edmontons horn sounds so much better in person
Fr tho
Their goal horn in NHL 24 is so bad I feel offended lol. I grew up in Edmonton and absolutely love their horn irl. So unique, the EA's version is sheer laziness and bad
@@grizzi9479 hopefully they fix it next yr
The Anaheim what they wanted you to actually hear it and not think that it isn’t there
something i’ve noticed about newer NHL titles is that EA barely pays any attention to sound and rink ambience, go to older titles, 14 is a great example of attention to detail with sound design
14:03 There's no way EA fucked up with the goal song that bad 😆what is that quality, jesus...
They Fixed it
I don’t know how they can’t get the Canucks horn right. Rogers arena is a 20 min drive from ea nhl headquarters.
I like how for each horn, when he shows what the horn actually sounds like he makes sure he picks a clip where the announcer matches who scored in game
Great to see Capitals goal horn getting shafted as always...
I think comparing from NHL 23, NHL 24 horns are better, but not great.
Yes, that would be a great video idea. I hope there will be another video like that
the break on the Anaheim horn sounds pretty close
Boy those crowds sound horrendous when they score.
It should be noted that the horn recordings are “generally” based off of the previous season
Generally… the hurricanes one last season sounded refurbished and more powerful near the end of the season and into the playoffs. Way more growl than it used to have. Was kinda looking forward to it being in the game as they are my favorite team. But no. Either they or EA just doesn’t care enough

worst part about any of these is the horrendous generic ea music that plays afterwards
10:59 the celly is the same one i do irl💀💀💀
As a Blues fan, I actually like the song after the horn better this year… The organ sounds more pronounced and accurate to me. I just wish it would fully complete before the next puck drop - it gets cut off early almost every time.
Yes I agree as a fellow fan myself. It just skips to the let’s go blues every time. Otherwise, it’s definitely an improvement from last year
Why are the Blues wearing purple in this video
I’m forever disappointed they haven’t added the cannon sound for the blue jackets. We jackets fans can’t have much so give us this
It is actually in the game (4:54), but it doesn't feel the same without the song!
@@ThePuckPlacethey just used the sound of the puck hitting the boards and called it a day
I liked the old Detroit horn over the new one cause it sounds like other horns and doesn’t stand out
My thoughts exactly
The old horn used at JLA is definitely classic and what I think of for Detroit. But, it sounded horrible at LCA. I like that it’s an actual horn and the new tone is kind of synonymous for this era of the Wings. They’re getting closer and closer to being a playoff contending team

Bro the new one sounds like the panthers goal horn 💀
4:55 plays jackets broken start 2 times
Broadcast was broken too :D
very good video i subscribed
They did the caps dirty 😭
Carolina goal horn still sounds like it was played over a telephone.
Wings horn sounds like the 2002 Joe Louis Arena version
The Montreal Canadiens one is pretty accurate, i can tell bc i have gone to a game, but in nhl, its a bit quiet, it needs to be louder.
Nah its not, I went a few weeks ago and have recordings on my channel. The recording is outdated and last season they added a bell to make it sound better.
Nhl 20 Montreal Canadians have a accurate horn
PSA: While close, the rangers horn is actually NOT 100% accurate. The third blast of the goal horn is different
And the let's go Rangers chant isn't in the song anymore at MSG.
They just fixed Buffalo's. It has the 3 blasts now. This was from the most recent update. Most of the others are the same. Was hoping they fixed Ducks and Hurricanes but they're the same.
I'll be real... even as a Red Wings fan... Sabres have the best horn in the league
I love that it’s nhl 24 and ea still can’t get this right
As a sens fan the horn is good but the goal song that’s disappointment great vid I’m a sub
Just realized the new Red wings horn sounds like the Panther’s
dallas stars horn sounds like the texas stars horn (AHL) lmao
1:53 what happened to the goal song that the bruins use? it was in the other nhl games
They should update those goal horns Anaheim,columbus,san jose, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Detroit at least
And possibly use accurate AHL/ECHL goal horns
i am so dissapointed by the lack of attention the goal horns get each year in this game. there are youtube channels who make better reproductions of them at home.
No but the computer scoring on themselves and how easy it is to score sucks!
EA doesn't add the song at the end of the bruins goal horn, the song is pretty much the best part
How can you get the real comentary
Wish the game had our goal horn/chant that we do in Dallas.
A lot of these should sound deeper/ slightly louder
This Red Wings Horn sounds so much better then that trash new one they have
They should just let Famous Goal Horns do the goal horns
They did the blues dirty and that song is HILARIOUS makes me laugh every time
Nice ending song also!
It's "TazLazuli - Water Song" if you like to give it a listen!
@@ThePuckPlace I will! sounds like Mas Que Nada to me hahah
The new horn is just like the horn at JLA. They brought in a horn like this for the season.
As an Oilers fan, I also hate our goal horn lol, but the game is not even close to 10/10 accurate. The pitch is way off, its more like a 6/10.
the fact that the game is made here in burnaby and they can't get our own goal horn perfect is embarassing, at least yours sounds like oilers.
great video
How do I access broadcast?
Via NHL:s official website, or just watch highlights here in RUclips, from providers like Sportsnet or NHL itself.
I could make a more accurate sharks horn in bandlab
Why does Chicago's horn sound like Dallas!?

The NHL Slapshot game for the wii has all the horns as the IRL kings horn. 😂
the vancouver one is inexcusable, just drive 20 min to downtown and record that shite correctly,

NJ Devils 5 out of 10 the blast from the horn and the tone doesn't match
As a hurricanes fan, I have been to a lot of games and quite frankly the horn in the game is way inaccurate, and it’s pretty sad that they always use the same horn for Carolina in every game.

I love how theyve used the columbus global series horn for how long now?
Of course they won’t get them all 100% right

Wish they had all the different broadcast teams in the game. But nhl will never put that much effort into a fame
Buffalo Sabres Real Goal Horn At 2:22 Sec

Detroit horn has changed

YOU can also just turn up the goal horn sound in settings if you really wanted to, if you like it loud
Goal horns volume were set to 10, and crowd to 5 in these tests, so if it's still hard to hear, then there is a problem.
10:11
16:17 look how the massacred my boy
So…the NHL obviously has the rights for the songs for the goal songs, right? So why not add them to the game?
Cool!

Jets horn sucks. It’s so quiet you can barely hear it. The EA version is actually louder than the real life one
The kraken one is loud
