Video Gaming News - March 2005
New York, NY (March 28, 2005) - 2K Sports today announced that
Major League Baseball 2K5 is now available at retailers across North America.
From 2K Sports:
Introducing a series of innovative features, Major League Baseball 2K5 is an
entirely new game that promises fans of America's pastime the most authentic and
exciting virtual baseball experience anywhere.
"Major League Baseball 2K5 is all new this year," said Greg Thomas, president of
Visual Concepts, developers of the 2K5 sports series. "It truly pays homage to
the great game of baseball, offering consumers the most complete and realistic
major league baseball video game available. From the revolutionary On Command
Baserunning to all of the online capabilities, consumers will be amazed by the
amount of features in the game that intensify their overall experience."
Players will experience unprecedented control with the debut of On Command
Baserunning, including active picture-in-picture baserunning, and new gameplay
features with Maximum Sliding and the groundbreaking Baseburner Mode. Gamers can
dominate the basepaths by advancing runners into scoring position, executing hit
and run tactics, and score the game-winning run with dramatic squeeze plays --
all with unparalleled control.
Major League Baseball 2K5 introduces K Zone Pitching, a new system that delivers
the most realistic pitching control in a baseball video game. This new feature
allows players to target their pitches precisely using a simple interactive
crosshair interface. Players are challenged as pressure situations can determine
how accurately and well they will throw.
Available on the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox, Major League Baseball 2K5 offers
gamers complete online play and online leagues. The online capabilities give
gamers the ability to create, manage and compete in their own customized
leagues, or simply play against other online gamers in a quick one-on-one game.
