The All-Star Baseball 2005 game includes online features like head-to-head play and improved roster updates for Xbox. You can now use the analog controller when batting and two new camera angles have been added: the fieldercam and the broadcastcam.
The gameplay has been enhanced with a better create-a-player mode, and a franchise mode has also been added. The game's commentators are Steve Lyons and Thom Brennaman, with Spanish play-by-play by Oscar Soria. A full gameplay tutorial is available for those new to the game.
There is special attention to the 2003 MLB season, allowing you to replay historic moments in the This Week In Baseball challenge. The game has an official license, with 80 stadiums, authentic uniforms, and a hall of fame that honours MLB legends. Next to the 30 official Major League teams, there are some historic bonus teams and various fantasy teams.
All-Star Baseball 2005 was released on March 23, 2004 for Xbox.
