MLB: The Show 25 is the twentieth main installment of the baseball sports game series. Similar to the previous parts of the series, the game is based on the MLB license, which is the American Major League Baseball league. It was developed by the San Diego Studio team, which belongs to Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Gameplay

In MLB: The Show 25 we participate in baseball games. We are responsible for team management issues and the game also allows us to develop players.

The official MLB license ensures the presence of real names, teams, and stadiums, while a range of difficulty levels (led by the highest - G.O.A.T.) allows to adjust the level of challenge to individual preferences. The Ambush Hitting mechanic deserves a separate mention, allowing for more aggressive ball hitting during matches.

Dexerto: 4 / 5 by Ryan Lemay

MLB The Show 25 doesn’t make any massive changes, but it didn’t need to. If you are a baseball fan, I highly recommend picking up MLB The Show 25, and if you are a sports fan who hasn’t tried this series yet, it’s the perfect year to do so.

Gamer Social Club: 8.5 / 10 by Marcus Lawson

The MLB The Show series is the premier baseball game each year. The on-field experience from franchise to RTTS are core things we as fans look forward to every year. Even though most of my time is spent in RTTS turning my player into a future hall of famer, the improvements in MLB The Show 25 gives the game a breath of fresh air. I love the new upgrade system in RTTS, I really feel like I have more control over my players growth. I am overjoyed that I can grind and upgrade my cards in Diamond Dynasty, and they will not have to be retired after a certain period.

IGN: 9 / 10 by Justin Koreis

Rising through the amateur ranks in Road to the Show and the retirement of Sets and Season in Diamond Dynasty have brought much needed life back to MLB The Show 25.
