All-Star Baseball 2005

About

All-Star Baseball 2005 is a baseball management and simulation game that lets you run a team through exhibition matches, league play, or custom-built squads. Build rosters, manage lineups, and compete in splitscreen multiplayer with a friend. The game includes real-world MLB teams and expansion options in cities across North America plus Mexico City and Puerto Rico. Pitching mechanics and batting controls feel straightforward but responsive, leaning more on strategy than arcade flair. This was the final entry in the All-Star Baseball series before the company behind it folded. Derek Jeter appears on the cover, a nod to his recurring role in previous titles. The splitscreen mode remains a highlight, letting two players battle without internet or extra hardware. While it lacks the polish of modern sports games, the focus on team management and simple multiplayer gives it a retro charm. Community reviews note it’s functional but unpolished, with a 6.5/10 average on GameRankings.
