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.

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.

A Gaming Network: 8 / 10 by Marcel Dee

MLB The Show 25 doesn’t revolutionize the franchise, but it makes meaningful strides in gameplay, realism, and historical storytelling. The introduction of GOAT difficulty and Ambush Hitting refines the on-field action, while Road to the Show’s high school start adds new layers of depth. The removal of sets and seasons in Diamond Dynasty makes it more accessible, and the return of Negro League Storylines continues to be a standout feature.

Cloud Dosage: 3.8 / 5 by Jon Scarr

It’s not revolutionary, but it delivers a polished, satisfying experience. If you’ve skipped a year or two, it’s a great time to jump in. For long-time fans, the small tweaks are appreciated, but you might find yourself wishing for more.
