Some big drama that was left out from your 2004-analysis was the matter of NFL licensing. Madden was big dog for a long time, but as the 2k-series built momentum they came out with their best game to date: ESPN NFL 2k5.

It had the ability to record your playstyle so you could play against your own personal self (or a celebrity's, like Carmen Electra's), play in first person view on the field, play historic moments from the past, and upload your own music (I had Chappelle going SKEET SKEET SKEET anytime the home team got an interception). It was a fantastic game through and through, and it came at twenty dollars. EA was rightfully scared.

And then the NFL suddenly decided they only needed one series to use their license to avoid confusion, and EA just had too much money to lose that bid. The 2k series had to stop at its peak when Madden was finally challenged, and the world was robbed of how football games should really play as ever since.
