Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have played three of this years baseball titles and this one is the one that has the least glitches in my opinion.
I could only play ESPN Baseball for about a half an hour because of the shoddy swing mechanics and the awful graphics. MVP has a great presentation and the best pitching/batting interface but too many things keep it from exceling such as slow outfielders, no wind in stadiums , and baserunners who never steal. While that may not bother some it will bother baseball fans.
MLB 2005 has solid gameplay. The fielding is tight. The fielders get the ball out of their hands as opposed ot how they seem to hold on to it for too long in MVP. You can actually get double plays in this game and your outfielders don't have a one to two second delay while trying to brake for a ball hit in the gaps. The batting and pitching is solid and the game remains fun to play. The only major complaint I have is that there are no check swings. This will cause one too many strike outs but it's a fair tradeoff when you at leats know your outfielder can cover the gaps.Another problem is that the game only lets you hold 10 pitchers on your roster.I would like to have a little more freedom there but that'a a minor gripe. The graphics are slightly above average. They won't wow you but they are not as choppy as ESPN.
The Franchise mode is fabulous. It makes Madden's look small. It is quite fun and addictive to try to keep everything running all at once. I especially enjoy how you can listen to your players and treat them accordingly. It makes it more fun than just playing baseball.
So overall this game while sporting some problems in my opinion has the least of the big three and provided the most fun while being true to the sport.
