Why the Infinity Engine is NOT in NCAA

Well am sure EA won't be happy even if its only losing 40% of sales. That is a big chunk.

The wont lose more than 20% and I think even that number is a bit high.

Lol ok we will see about that. It looks to me everyone is canceling. Even on the madden forums.

70% of their market probably doesn't even know what RTP is. I highly doubt it'll hurt sales that much. Plus, I never import draft class because I never play Madden. I honestly don't care if that's in or not and I'm sure plenty agree with me.

With the extra sales Madden will get this year due to having RTP, since a lot of people on here have canceled NCAA but then turned around and pre-ordered Madden, it'll all even out in the end.

Then when NCAA gets RTP in 2014, 75% of the people who are mad right now will buy it and everything will be right in the world.

The key word there is: Forums. Most people my age (30) and older don't even know what a video game forum is, and we buy A LOT of video games.

Heck, the the average game player is 37 years old and has been playing games for 12+ years. heck I've been playing games since the mid-80s.

Us old folks don't care about RTP. We remember Tecmo Bowl and Bill Walsh College Football. We just want to play NCAA football.

The first year will be needed to work out bugs and refine it. I expect NCAA 14 to take advantage of seeing how it plays out in madden.

if there is an NCAA14 that is ...they are gonna lose an ENORMOUS amount of money on this one ...and by then hopefully 2K or someone else is brave enough to get their foot in the NCAA door ....now is the time to do it if anybody had plans to make a college game...take advantage of all these pissed off consumers while you can

I think people or overestimating the percentage of people that buy the game that will actually change their mind because of the RTP in Madden. Just because those people are the most vocal in forums does not make them the majority or even a large minority.

Its really disappointing, but makes sense with the time constraints. Does bring up the question would time spent on Heisman mode been better served going with the Infinity Engine. Questionable when it was said Cam brought a seperate Physics team go oversee the implementation. So it probably wouldn't have mattered either way.
