    I loved ESPN baseball last year, but I found this year's version a little hard for me to hit with no cursor. The pitching is different and there is a lot of stuff jammed on the screen at one time. I love the ESPN presentation, and you can't beat Jon and Joe announcing, but the gameplay is different than last year to me. It seems a lot quicker paced this year.

    Questionable fielding holds it back from capturing the Golden Glove. "MVP" still holds that honor, but Major Leauge's innovative techniques make it this year's most exciting baseball game. [March 2005, p.118]

    While MLB 2K5 is considerably better than its predecessor, it remains the second best baseball game available.

    The game was number three in a field of three last year, but this season it looks great and has dramatic gameplay improvements for all skill levels. [Apr 2005, p.97]
