    ASB2K5 is a grand slam! If you want cartoony garphics/gameplay get MVP. If you live for baseball, and want great graphics/gameplay get ASB2K5.

    Great game, very realistic and among all the other baseball games I've played, this is my favorite. The only thing I don't like about it is that players can't be traded unless it is played in season mode. I hope acclaim releases a new version as soon as possible.

    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!

    All-star Baseball 2005 is a great game to add to your collection. The indepth franchise mode is more hands on then other games. This game also allows you to relive your favorite games in This Week In Baseball mode. But there are some down sides like Barry Bonds, he isn't in the game. But over all i find this game a true game that can be played for a long time.

    Finally, the all star baseball series makes a comeback. With all new features, new graphics, and new gameplay all star baseball 2005 will rise itself to the limit whenever it comes out.

    I have been loyal All-Star Baseball Fan since the makings of the first. The 2005 version looks and sounds fantastic. From the great facial graphics to being the only baseball game with the "create-a-team/expansion" mode. If your a baseball fan you'll be a fan of this game.

    asb 2005 really improved its graphics as well as the minor glitches they had in the past. the fieldercam is wonderful, and so are all of the added motion captured pitching and batting stances too.

    I thought the game was horrible. The fielder cam was stupid and you will be chasing balls all over the place. The batting and pitching experiences are nothing like MVP 2004. Also the Franchise mode is nowhere near as good as MVP 2004.

  1. 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.
  2. All-Star Baseball 2005 may get the job done, but in a season as long as baseball’s, you’ve got to have that special something to keep you motivated, and unfortunately, this game just doesn’t have it.
  3. The core mechanics are solid, and the addition of true online play is a compelling selling point.
