Major League Baseball 2K5 is a sports game that takes over from its Sega predecessor, ESPN Major League Baseball. This one has been completely revamped with brand new control schemes and a new graphics engine. It features brand new animations and added a great deal of detail to the players, stadiums, weather and even cut scenes.
The game also features an updated roster, as well as standard modes such as exhibition, season and home run derby. Online capabilities support up to 30 players, and ESPN's name and broadcast style are present throughout, with commentators Jon Miller, Joe Morgan and Karl Ravech.
