Everytime I think back to how great NFL 2k5 was, I can't help but imagine where football gaming would be had 2k still been making NFL 2k. Madden 2005 was also a good game but took a huge turn for the worse on the jump to PS3/Xbox360, and Madden has been the slowest evolving AAA sports franchise. If you look at Madden 15, you think it's great to see the team finally making the right improvements (though this has been said before). However, I feel Madden 15 is going to be the Madden that should have been accomplished last gen, minus obvious graphic improvements. In my opinion, not one Madden held a candle up to NFL 2k5 all of last gen. This is what also keeps NFL 2k5 so relevant - not just where NFL 2k would've been today, but the idea of where Madden would be had they still had 2k as competition.
