Madden NFL 13 Infinity Engine Hands-On Preview

[RaychelSnr]

So… You've heard about this new Madden NFL 13 physics engine have you?

Well, I'm here to tell you the infinity engine is indeed legit. It's downright unbelievable actually. Call it a "fresh coat of paint on the same old game" if you want to but I love it. I played a couple of games last night with some various members of the media and came away very impressed. Sure it's not perfect, you will see limbs getting bent in painful directions occasionally, even see a body slide or rotate a little awkwardly, but all in all, the new Infinity Engine the Madden team has implemented is unbelievable.

Good write-up...hits on most of my concerns.

I kinda assumed PI would still be non-existent since it was after the CD in February, but I held onto hope after I learned of the Infinity Engine. Ah well...

I figured we'd see some funky looking stuff from time to time w/ the physics as Steve hit on. That's what I found ironic about the Steelers/Bengals which "leaked" RTP: the split looked bad but people were so stoked about the potential for RTP that no one seemed to care.

Can't wait for the vids to roll out...

Good write up, I like how you explained the positives and the negatives of the game. However, it seems like the positives VASTLY out weight the negatives, especially considering years past.

About the penalties, hopefully its an early build and they just didn't get penalties in. I mean it could potentially be a game killer if there is zero pass interefence. What happens when a user controlled player just takes a WR out every time a ball comes there way?

All in all, I still can't believe Madden has RTP. I'm definately taking a 3 day weekend when this game comes out!

Oh, oh, no PI calls.

I'm sure the penalties will function as they have in years past. You'll get a blatant PI called...that's never been the issue. It's getting the AI to do it on it's own w/ some regularity for us sim buffs.

I already have my vacation day request in.

Good read but I was a bit distracted by this picture...




I realize it's suppose to be a bright, sunny game but I've never seen the Cowboys' uniforms wash out to that degree, nor do the Eagles jerseys ever look that bright.

Then again... maybe that's just how the new Nike jerseys look.

Anyway, I look forward to playing with the infinity engine.
