IMO the AI was just far superior in 2K4. CPU QBs in 2K5 are just terrible without completely dumbing down the defense. 2K4 QBs will drop back, take their time and find the open man, dump off to RB or take off and run with it...just doesn't happen in 2K5. QB spy is broken in 2K5, DBs AI is bad and they get badly burned far too often. Also kickoff returns were far better in 2K4.
Graphics and animations seem almost identical to me. There were a few added, the QB throwing animations are nicer looking in 2K5 for sure.
Not saying 2K5 was a bad game, I think their intentions were great...they added a massive amount of extras in that year and just ran out of development time...they needed one more year. ESPN 2K6 would have been far and away the greatest football game ever made, IMO.

oh ok, I think I remember the qb talent changing. the db ai i thought was the same though...but don't you think it's weird that since they're using the same code, things like that would happen?
As far as animations, the running was better too, you could now 'stutter-step' and do that stopping animation to avoid diving tackles from the side. I'm trying to remeber is 2k4 had chris berman is real video or 'fmv' or if that was 2k3 ...i liked that actually because at the time having people talk infront of the 'camera' outside of shenmue looked rediculous for the most part.
anyway despite its issues, it's one of the best games i've played period. I think it deserves the title. The so called 'sympathy' vote is a bit off to me as EA's baseball wouldn't stand a chance in this contest. I think 2k5 was a special game, and can speak for myself that I didn't vote for it because it's gone.
