I just put this one in to the 360 and I gotta tell ya. It's by far, much better than that 2k6 crap. Is there a way of getting some updated rosters for this?

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
I just thought about this game the other day after seeing it was BC. I had a lot of fun with the expansion team mode. I remember that rosters were tough b/c you could only edit in season. If it's possible, someone on these boards will figure it out.Formerly Favre4vr -

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
I was just about to come in here and comment on 05 on the 360. I've been playing it a ton again lately since it's the only decent baseball game for the 360.
On top of that, my buddy and I played 2 games online the other night. I can't believe this still works on live, but it did. It worked perfectly as well.
I get this image of some server at the Microsoft Co-Lo in the back corner with dust and cobwebs on it. No one knows it's the asb05 server. "Joe, what is that server?" Joe: "We have no idea, but don't touch it, it could be important"
haha.Comment

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
I myself asked Finn(Flyin' Finn of the ESPN editors) to try and make an editor for this game. I offered to pay him for it. He said he would look into it, but it seemed to die on the vine...sadly.
An editor that would allow for easy PRE-franchise edits would make this game timeless. To me....from a manage only standpoint...only MLB2006 The Show is a better game. But there are things that ASB2005 has that The Show doesn't and in some respects makes it a better game.

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
Very true. It it is a fantastic game and still has better stadiums than any console game I have seen since.
The problem with ASB, is that the issues were apparant pretty quickly......Like some of the suction catches. But some of the great things the game had (especially the details and inuendo of baseball) were not noticed until you had played several games.
EA on the other hand always had alot of flash out of the box, but didn't offer nearly as much depth down the road. And their bugs (Like the Lefty Bug) weren't immediately noticable. So for someone who rented both games for a weekend, probably didn't get the whole picture and went with EA.
I really enjoyed ASB '05. It is a real shame that Acclaim couldn't stay in business. I would love to see what '07 could have been like.Comment

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
There was a thread a few years back about all the great details in ASB. I think it was actually in anticipation of the '05 game. It really showed that the developers were baseball guys who loved the detail. Stuff like Ivy at Wrigley being Brown in April, then turning green in the summer. I can't remember the other stuff, but it was a very cool thread that got you fired up for the game.Comment

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
It's too bad that they took away the ability to edit rosters prior to a franchise in 05 (you could in 04). I'd probably still be playing this game if we could have updated rosters.Fan of....

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
After playing a few more games, I believe even more that this game is superior to anything released in the last 2yrs. And I love MLB the Show. But things like the pitchers actually warming in the bullpens, and working scoreboards in every stadium, (I was going to call these things 'little things' but they're not that little to me) give this game such an authentic feel. I also had to set the pitching down a notch, which was weird to say the least.
Things like dynamic counts and the ability to control any, or all fielders are ideas that should not have gone away. I wish someone would pick up this game and run with it, right into the next generation. The thought of what could be done with this title is mind boggling.Comment

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
I am with you there. I love the little touches. There are some folks on the boards here that tend to be a little preachy about gameplay being the only thing that matters.........That is until the developers mess up one of the features that is important to them LOL.
ASB had working out of town scores in their '03 version. Yet mighty EA and 2K haven't mastered that with the current round of offerings. I will never figure that one out.Comment

Re: All Star Baseball 2005
I just started playing this game again, and I'm having a blast. Did a fantasy draft since the rosters are obviously out of date...
One thing I really like about this game, it forces me to think about strategy more than maybe any other game I've played.Comment
