Major League Baseball 2K5 debuts On Command Baserunning, that includes active picture-in-picture base running, and new game play features called Maximum Sliding and Baseburner Mode. Active picture-in-picture base running delivers both an exciting presentation style and an intuitive method to precisely control runners. The new base running mechanic utilizes the right analog thumb stick to choose how base runners slide -- head or feet first -- in conjunction with hook sliding left or right of the base. Players will be able to reach a base quicker, get up more quickly from a slide, or avoid being tagged out with the new freedom found in Maximum Sliding. Baseburner Mode allows the gamer to play any 'at-bat' through the perspective of any base runner, delivering precision control to gamers.
