Do you guys think Madden takes a player's weight into account in terms of collisions?

And the still 5'9 CB lighting up 6'5 250 lb HB when running around the Corner and Squared up. picking him up and dumping him on his well you know. How in the hell?????

I can *maybe* understand that adding real physics calculations for weight and momentum is too demanding given the yearly cycle with Madden, but as far as I care, there is no excuse for not filtering the animations they have to only occur in certain situations. ANY animation where a solo CB tackle knocks a HB back in full flight is dumb - it's not impossible but it's far too improbable to make it ever happen, let alone happen 50% of the time. The good news is, from the MM interview thread, it at least seems animation filtering is a big priority for Madden 07, but as long as they use their current animation system there is always room for unrealistic results.

mike586corleone - yeah that's common in both games, although personally I think even NCAA current gen is far better with tackling than Madden. I rarely ever see a DB knock my HB backwards in 07. If they made DL as powerful as they should be, it would be pretty decent for an animation system pre-dating the 21st century.
