Larry Richart, Designer and Central Gameplay Developer for Madden NFL 12, gives some insight into some major gameplay enhancements, namely a new collision system to help the defense take a stand.

Quote:

"One of the areas of the game that we felt needed some major improvements was tackling on defense. The amount of warping, sliding and suction that occurred during tackles was painful and frustrating to watch over the past few years. With that in mind, we created an all-new collision system in which tackles will only trigger once contact is actually made with the ball carrier, which of course is how tackles occur in real life. With suction, warping and sliding being removed from the game, you will no longer see ball carriers get sucked into tackles by engaged defensive lineman when trying to run through a hole."
