1.) They (Sega) wanted to take on Electronic Arts
2.) They formed a joint-publishing deal with Take Two Interactive's Global Star label to split publishing costs.
3.) They felt new sports games each year shouldn't cost $50.
They didn't just "update the rosters", they added the awesome "VIP" system (in ESPN NFL 2K5), which is a player profile that tracks your favorite plays, how often you run/pass the ball and where you throw/run it to the most, every stat you can possibly think of, and more. You can even play against your own VIP to learn your own strengths and weaknesses, you can also go online (via Xbox Live or through PlayStation 2) and download other player's VIP files and play against them offline to learn their strategies.
They also improved their Franchise mode, First Person Football, and the "Crib"
Basically, if you're a sports game fanatic, you owe it to yourself to try out Sega's 2K5 line of games.
