  • Summary: All-Star Baseball 2005 gives you the most realistic "between the lines" game play experience ever with ASB05's exclusive FielderCam. The perennial best selling Baseball videogame franchise is more fun and accessible than ever before, packed with exclusive feature innovations, online head-to-head play AND the deepest franchise mode of any baseball video game.

  1. Franchise mode is by far the deepest of any baseball game out there - including"MVP." [Apr 2004, p.73]
  2. It's not as user friendly as MVP, nor is it as realistic as ESPN. Still, it's a worthwhile purchase if you like simming games and take on the front office duties.
  3. But even without the fielder cam, defensive controls are just a tad too sluggish—it's not uncommon to see a player circling around a ball on the ground or to have an outfielder take his sweet time throwing the ball into the infield because of the imprecision.
  4. ASB 2005 will dazzle you with flashes of brilliance. Yet seconds later, it will infuriate you with its many rough edges. [May 2004, p.25]

    This game is the best! The graphics are off the charts, and it is so realistic. They have they current baseball players to date and fantasy draft is the best, picking the best of the best! That is why I gave this game a 10! Expand
