While I agree that NFL 2K5 is glitchy, the positives far outweigh the negatives. The graphics and presentation are fantastic, and though the gameplay is not as good as Madden's, it's not horrible either. I also enjoy the Franchise mode more because of the little things. When you play in the Super Bowl in 2K5, it feels like a big event. When you play it in Madden, it feels like any other game.
