Madden NFL 13 Infinity Engine Playbook (Real-Time Physics)

06:35 PM - June 4, 2012 by RaychelSnr

There are two new blogs on the EA Sports site discussing the New Infinity Engine. First off, the Developers Blog gives a bit of insight into the methodology behind the feature:

Quote:


	"The Infinity Team is made up of an all-star team of engineers who have backgrounds in mathematics, interactive entertainment, and physics (3 Physics PhDs to be exact) from EA Tiburon as well as EA Physics in Guilford, England. We set out on a multi-year plan to deliver something that would fundamentally change the way football was played. Even with all of the talent on the team we didn�t know if we would be able to release any features this year, but we all knew it was a goal worth striving for. Towards the beginning of the year it became apparent to us that if we pushed hard enough we would be able to implement the first stages of our plan in Madden NFL 13. For this year we chose to focus on primarily on character physics interactions, muscle strengths and tensions, and a balance system"

Secondly, a community blog written by Shopmaster details the new changes from a players point of view:

Quote:


	"When I got my first look at the �Infinity Engine� from designer Victor Lugo I could not believe my eyes. Bodies twisted with every hit, wide receivers were spun around in mid-air, QBs getting laid out by blitzing linebackers from the blindside, it all looked great! As great as the presentation was it still could not prepare me for how this new engine would deeply affect the way I play Madden NFL 13. Everything you thought about Madden NFL 13 before has now changed."

Does the inclusion of real-time physics change your buying decision on Madden one way or another?

I wanted to skip a year. With this and the new career mode, sigh. They get me every time.

@jm02278 Unfortunitly no the Infinity Engine will not bee in Ncaa until next year.

Oh wow, that is too bad.... I thought I had read somewhere about NCAA not getting the "lil brother" treatment anymore, now they are demoted to "red-headed step-child" smh

I'm definitely excited about the Infinity Engine, BEEN WAITING FOR PHYSICS IN MADDEN SINCE I CAN REMEMBER!!!!!!, NEW DEV TEAM REALLY MAKING STRIDES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. still alot to be worked on as far as foot planting and OL/DL interaction goes but i'm loving the approach so far.
