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.
