Pros:
-fun gameplay
-great creat a player feature
-great graphics
-good songs
-great commentary

Cons:
-franchise mode sucks!!!!(you can finish all 20 years in a day)
-no trade a player feature (you are stuck with all of the old rosters and cannot even change the lineup)

overall, this game is just okay, but I am sure that there are better games out there

Fun But Easy...

I know this is kind of late to write about All-Star Baseball 2005. When it first came out back in March, I thought it would have no competion. Past ASB games had ruled the baseball video game world, and I thought this game would rock.

The first thing that is good with it is all the featurettes. The TWIB interview thing is really cool, and the whole baseball card collecting thing is great. The situations are cool and the stadium tour thing is cool. Overall, the game's features are good.

As for gameplay and graphics, that is why it is not MVP Baseball 2004. The game is way too easy. I was playing with the Mets and Danny Garcia was hitting .450. I had a winning record playing as the Pittsburgh Pirates. The only way I kept up with it was putting it on legend and taking every helper off (pitch aid, strike zone). The graphics though, it seemed that MVP has the best graphics around and this can't stack up.

The new camera modes are cool, especially the Broadcast camera; it actually looks like you are watching a real game. The fielder cam was pretty good, but if they can fix it up next year, it will rise to the top.

The most impressive thing about the game is the stadiums and the crowd detail. The stadiums looked identical to the real thing. The fake advertisements made it feel like you were at the stadium. Shea Stadium even had the ribbon around the Twin Towers on the top of the scoreboard. The old stadiums are great. If you could mash together MVP Baseball's graphics and gameplay with ASB's stadiums and franchise mode, you would have one helluva game.

Great Game.

In my eyes there has never been a good All Star Baseball game untill 05. The Franchise is very nice and so is the expansion teams. Pickup Games are very fun. The movments are very real. Xbox live is very fun. The stadiums are very very real. There is trivia between innings. I highly highly reccomend this game.

Dissappointing

this game is too easy. the only challenge is if u put it on legend and hit without the hitter aid and strike zone besides that any moron could hit the ball.

Another All-Star Baseball game

The first person view is nice, but it is almost impossible to find the baseball, or field at all. This was almost worse than it's counter=part All-Star Baseball 2004! Batting is terrible, and you have almost no control of where your pitcher throws the ball, that's usally the best part of the game.

I Wish

It may be America's favorite pasttime, but baseball is not the easyest sport to make a videogame out of. "All Star Baseball 2005" is best baseball game since "The Baseball simulater" on Super NES. The graphics are amazing. Very detailed Major League Ball Parks. You get everything you get watching a game on TV. The comentary is awesome. You can even get it in Spanish! There are even trivia questions between inings!
As far as the gameplay goes hiting and throwing poeple out takes some getting used to. It is pretty much impossible to pic someone off. With some practice anyone who loves Baseball will have fun playing this game. Kurt Schilling has the best arsonal of pitches in this game. I like the throwback jerseys.

By far the Best Baseball Game

This game is great, except for maybe a few little things! A great aspect of this game is that it has four different types of ways that you can hit! If you just want to time it right so that you can hit, you are able to do that. If you want to hit the ball where it is pitched, (inside, outside, high and inside, etc.)and time it right at the same time then you can do that. If you want to have a 2-D cursor and not tell the game where you want to hit the ball you can do that. And, if you want to have a 3-D cursor and tell the game where you want to hit the ball then you can do that also. Another great thing is that if you think that the pitching is too fast or too slow, then you can either speed it up or slow it down. The gameplay is great, it sounds like you are really watching a game on T.V. The fielder cam is a little hard to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it is really exciting. The graphics by themself are a little choppy, but overall they are good. The announcers do repeat some of the phrases sometimes later on in the game (7th, 8th inning, etc.) but still sound like you are really listening to a game. Batting stances, pitching wind ups, and fascial features are all really accurate. The only problem that I have with this game, is that if you get used to the timing while hitting, then it is way to easy to hit homeruns! If you are looking for a fun and exciting game, All Star Baseball 2005 would be it!
