    With downloadable content, multiplayer games, and a voice feature, it’s getting the most out of your broadband connection.

    It's worth the price of admission alone just to take the game online and actually play exhibition games - rather than just download rosters (ASB 2004's online component). And for those who love Franchise mode, Acclaim has hit one out of the park just for you.

    The game is a joy to control, even when using the more complex control schemes.

    Easy-to-master controls, new camera angles, customizable teams, legendary players like Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson—don’t wait for Mother Nature’s lazy ass; spring starts now.

    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.

    Defensive controls are just a tad too sluggish. [May 2004, p.84]

    Playing 2005 with its jerky, disorienting fielder cam is akin to slicing up your head on a cheese grater, then taking a vinegar bath.

I'm feeling that you could play spring training before the season and improve our players. I like the fact that i could listen to my music while in the menus instead of the boring music the game provides. overall this game is the best i can't wait to see if they come out ASB2k6. … Expand

    Good solid game. It's my XBOX that's messing up!. Great online stat tracker and good players who don't disconnect a lot.
