The sad part, is I don't think you're trolling, so I'll tune you in.
EA bought exclusive rights to the NFL because 2k was honing in hard on them and was beating them in the ratings year after year. 2k put a $20 price tag on their 2k5 game (it took Madden 6 years later to put out a game as good as that one) and EA saw its profits dwindle. So... they monopolized the market by buying out the exclusive NFL license and have renewed it since. 2k recognized reality and put those same football guys on the basketball game which is, of course, the game you claim to be the best out there. I really just wish your loyalty to a shitty brand could be put aside and viewed objectively. People STILL create roster updates for every season for 2k5, because the game engine was that good.
Seriously, just watch this video comparison of 2k5 versus Madden 12 (SEVEN years apart)
