What in the hell are you talking about? They bought the rights to use the name, not the studio or the people who created NFL2K5.
And Madden 2K5 was crap.

Did you ever play the old Olympic games on the first Nintendo? Remember how you had to tap A and B really fast to do stuff. That's what 2k5 is like; I want a guy to move faster, so I have to tap the button. Because of the jostling of the controller, my buy is then wobbling back and forth and I'm unable to not only stiff-arm or juke, but I'm also unable to run in a straight line. Before you start telling me that I should get better at it and I shouldn't have to move my controller that much to run faster, answer me this: am I playing a football game, or an "Olympics" game?
The fact is, the gameplay of ESPN 2k5 is EXACTLY THE SAME as Madden 200
4, except for the turbo thing; you can score at will and the defense is consistently clueless. The presentation is good, I'll grant you that, but the features of the Franchise Mode are FAR superior on Madden, and that's what I play the game for (and honestly, I don't understand why else you WOULD play the game, except for, I guess, online).
You also might want to remember this: Just because you were a fan of the underdog doesn't mean you're right. I've seen people on this board called nVidiots, fanATIcs, AMD fanboys, and Intel fanboys, and NONE of them even hold a candle to the fanaticism of ESPN 2k5 fans. I've only talked to a few 2k5'ers that even acknowledged that it was possible for anyone to truly prefer Madden to 2k5. You all assume that everyone that suggested as much only liked Madden because it's what they've played for years, or was just brain-washed by EA. In fact, over at the IGN boards, there were more Madden haters in the Madden boards than Madden lovers, only because they all wanted to tell us how wrong we were MORE than we wanted to discuss the game.
Get a grip people. IGN rated 2k5 9.4 and Madden 2005 a 9.5, and no, it wasn't because EA paid them to say so. IGN also gave Madden 2005 the "Sports Game of the Year" award. Oh, and Gamespot gave 2k5 a 9.2 and Madden a 9.0... not too far apart there either.
The fact is, some like one, some like the other.
