They have basically the same metacritic/user scores, it’s not as if 2K5 was a 10 and Madden 2005 a 7. If you’re comparing it to Madden 2005, you can make that argument, it basically comes down to personal preference. 2K5 is lauded in large part because 1) It was only $19.99 and 2) Because it’s fashionable to hate on EA/Madden nowadays, because people are still upset about their exclusivity license. Madden 2005 added the hitstick and generally made defense much better after Madden 2004 Vick destroyed lives. They added animations to 2K5 that sort of faked it a bit, but Madden 2005 was the superior game and I’ll forever die on that hill. 2K controlled much more arcade-y because of it. Madden adding physics/momentum to its engine when the PS2 came out made a big difference in the gameplay compared to 2K. It was great at the time, but has been far surpassed. I owned every single NFL2K, was in line for the Dreamcast on 9.9.99 at 5:30 AM (skipped my college morning basketball workout to play NFL2K and Soul Calibur ). The gameplay is so much advanced now than 15 years ago.
