MLB The Show 25

About the game

MLB The Show 25 is a baseball simulation for PS5 whose career path starts with high school and college games and leads all the way to the Hall of Fame. In Road to The Show, players shape their ballplayer freely, crafting Perks to their liking and using a revamped attribute progression system for full control over development. Franchise and March to October feature a revitalized Free Agency system with risk and reward elements, along with improved Player Valuation Logic and Contract Logic; games can be played in full or reduced to the key moments that matter. Diamond Dynasty: 360 lets players collect and earn player cards and build a lineup without time-limited season restrictions, while the new Diamond Quest is a roguelike board game mode. Gameplay changes include G.O.A.T difficulty, all-new Ambush Hitting at the plate and faster online play, and the PS5 version offers updated dirt and grass with real-time physics. A separate Storylines mode covers baseball history and its legends. Up to 4 players can play on one console and up to 8 online.
