Madden v NFL 2K5

Gamespot is running an article that compares the features of these two video games. The surprising winner is NFL 2K5, which retails at $19.99, although the article concludes that Madden still has a few advantages in the area of defensive play and franchise mode.
Wow. First, the US basketball team loses to Puerto Rico. Now, the long-time champion of football video games falls to a value priced title. What next? The Rangers in the playoffs?
