Do you think a last gen madden is better than madden 10 overall? If so, why?

I've been playing 03 and 05 lately and think they are both better than 11.What really impressed me about 03 is the tackling which appears to have consecutive and double hit tackles(at least that's what they look like to me) and from what I've seen doesn't suffer from the tumbleweed animation that's present in the newer Maddens.

The running also feels better to me,it doesnt have that weird skating/gliding animation and just feels like it controls smoother with the weight of the player being better represented. Below are a few vids I recorded of the tackling in 03 Gamecube.



Love the tackle that sends Faulks helmet flying off

Exactly. The weight of the players was represented 10x better last generation. The players in currrent gen have absolutely NO weight at all. Which explains why LBs can jump so high, why CBs can slide around the field, and why the players running animations are "feathery" light.

That's probably the biggest reason why I prefer 03/05 to the newer Maddens,the weight of the players is better represented/respected and just feels better than the funky animations and weightlessness of the current gen but hopefully 12 changes all of that.
