    Today football gamers erupted in applause when it was unveiled that EA Sports would be using a physics engine called Infinity Engine in the upcoming Madden NFL 13. Speculation immediately began whether or not NCAA Football 13 would receive the same treatment. IGN has confirmed that NCAA Football 13 will not have the Infinity Engine.

    NCAA is holding off on using Madden's new Infinity Engine until next year, which means this superior football franchise needs to use itself to its advantage if it wants to keep its edge sharp as ever.

    More from Cam Weber (General Manager for both titles) via Kotaku

    The elephant in the room is NCAA Football, which will get real-time physics next year, Weber said. It ships seven weeks before Madden does, and when the football group decided to go for it and bring physics to this year's game—Weber said he came into this year's game unsure if they would—it was too late to properly integrate with NCAA.

      I understand why people are frustrated by this, but if, Cam Weber stated, there wasn't sufficient time to add RTP to NCAA this time around then waiting until next year was both prudent and proper.

      I've lurked around this site for a long time, and have been around NCAA/Madden boards since the MM days (although I don't post nearly as much as I used to on there, on any board) ... and it always is a breath of fresh air to see the rationality displayed by this group.

      That being said ... like the rest of you, it was like a sock in the gut yesterday after seeing the Madden reveal of RTP and NCAA not getting it. But at the end of the day, I'm okay with it. Just to know that EA is moving in the direction they are with Madden is nice to know, and it gives us something solid to look forward to with NCAA.

      And like I said over at OS, I don't know if I'm more bummed about not having RTP in NCAA, or some of the elements of the CC. I would absolutely love for ratings to be based on a system in NCAA. Things like that would add so much to Dynasty mode.

      yeah, I'm not terribly disappointed by NCAA not having RTP. I've been consistent in saying that I need gameplay that isn't terribly glitchy or unrealistic. Adding RTP with less than enough time to tune & test it, would just fuel more of an outrage than there is by not putting it in. Besides, I buy Madden every year anyway. Therefore, the only thing I'm really concerned about is that will the difference between the two gameplay engines be so distant that it makes NCAA unplayable once Madden drops. If it isn't, that will almost defeat the purpose. If it is, that's great, but it'll suck because NCAA will never be played again until '14.

      I got your point. I just didn't think that's how it went down. You made an assumption (that they chose not to try to integrate it) that I did not. That's all man, otherwise we were on the same page.

      Meh. I can wait 'til '14. I'm content with NCAA 12.5 if they got rid of most of the bugs from '12.

      After playing the demo there is a lot more "momentum" than I expected so I'm pretty content moving on without RTP for this version. I am really excited for Madden though I gotta say. And I haven't really been excited for it for 3 years. It'll be really interesting to see the difference between the 2 when it comes to how I play them because of how much closer the gameplay additions are now.

      After some more in depth about the Infinity engine and RTP, I have decided that I am not really disappointed that NCAA doesn't have it this year. I just have a feeling that this year, it is going to be buggy in Madden, and to be quite honest, I am going to absolutely love NCAA this year IF everything works correctly. That being said, I will gladly be patient enough to wait for the RTP to make it's way to NCAA next year when it has time to be smoothed out.
