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.
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.
Similar to previous installments of the series, MLB: The Show 25 offers a variety of game modes:
The game allows for singleplayer and multiplayer (via the Internet or locally).
MLB: The Show 25 looks best on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It stands out due to its improved graphics, especially the appearance of the ground and grass. The sound layer is based on ShowTech technology, thanks to which matches are accompanied by real crowd noises and chants from the fans.

Game Ratings for MLB: The Show 25 Video Game.
GameOnly: 4 / 5 by Kamil Kozakowski
MLB: The Show 25 is a must-have for baseball fans. Players who are passionate about MLB games and know the rules of this sport will be thrilled. It’s a shame though that the developers at San Diego Studio didn’t make more of an effort to draw in people who haven’t previously engaged with this sport. The lack of a good tutorial might discourage many players from diving into the very realistic and challenging gameplay model. However, if you manage to break through that barrier, there’s a lot of great fun waiting for you.
