Will rush to market hurt NFL 2K5?
Gamers trying to play ESPN NFL 2K5 online have been running into some bugs that are preventing and/or hindering their ability to get connected. GameSpot is reporting that two fixes (one on July 30 and another on August 6) are in the works.

I encountered a problem with my roster on Sunday that prevented me from connecting to any online games; however, the problem was fixed when I played last night.

I wonder how much of this can be blamed on the move to release NFL 2K5 early in order to pull some market share from Madden. Seems like these problems could cause the entire marketing plan to backfire.
