Official U.S. Playstation MagazineThe graphics need work, but no other game lets you really play as you. [May 2004, p.99]
-
GMR MagazineOverall, everything feels responsive, scores and stats come out realistically, and the atmosphere just feels right. [May 2004, p.84]
-
It's a drag that some serious AI issues still plague the simulation, but the EyeToy interaction and ball physics make MLB 2005 worth a look. A readily available online component even alleviates some of the AI tics.
-
For the features it has, though the same as others on the market, and for it’s ability to just give you a good time I give this game a 7 out of 10.

Electronic Gaming MonthlyUp from the depths of the minors a year ago, MLB 2005 is starting to look like it belongs in the bigs...Maybe next year, 989, you'll go all the way. [May 2004, p.96]
-
PSM MagazineDespite incredible depth and improvement, hardcore baseball fans will be frustrated with the game's AI failures. [May 2004, p.37]
-
Entertainment WeeklyFor the ultimate in ego gratification (yours), MLB 2005 lets you use an Eye-Toy to digitally paste your face onto the body of a young rookie. [16 Apr 2004, p.L2T 19]
-
A decent baseball game and is genuinely better than the last offering, but you get the sense that the developers are more spending too much time with cute bonus features like the EyeToy support and headset commands rather than focusing on ways to improve the gameplay.
-
The game isn't quite on a level with EA's "MVP Baseball 2004," but it does compete (which is saying a lot when you look at last year's installment) and it's fully capable of providing you with hours of entertainment.

netjakJust a couple steps away from being a great title.
