What's the best Madden game of the last 5 or so years?

I haven't played since 2001, but really liked it then. Since a new one comes out every year and the price nosedives on older copies, I figured I'd try to save some cash.

It looks like 2010 and 2008 have the best reviews of the last few years, but I wanted to see if folks had any strong opinions or recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Editing to add- I have a 360, if that factors in to things.

Edit #2: Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
