Couldn't you say the same with any game? The cheese in TSB with Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders isn't new....you could exploit the hell out that game....so much so when Madden '93 (I believe) came out, nobody cared about TSB anymore and it was deemed arcadey and unrealistic. In fact, if not for the re-introduction of the ROM, one could argue that TSB wouldn't be as nostalgic as it is.

Of course, like the 2K5 "sympathy" factor...it's an excuse to depreciate a good game. I don't think it's good when you try to do that with a game that won the tourney by a substantial margin.
