MLB The Show 25 – PS5

Bought the game to play casually after work….way more time / effort than anticipated to learn. Graphics are good but don’t really care about that. Gameplay is fine…it’s baseball. Didn’t feel glitchy at all.I will be returning the game. Might be my age and slowly becoming a boomer, but I cannot stand seeing micro transaction crap. Literally the first item on the main menu is a micro transaction offer and you need to scroll down to the game menu.I wish it didn’t ruin the experience but it did for me.

The Show is better than ever this year, you can do much more than just play ball. Diamond dynasty is there version of a fantasy league by opening virtual card packs and making a team of new and current players along with the best players of all time, I have Ken Griffey jr and Ted Williams both on my team. The main reason for buying this years game though is road to the show, you can create your own player start in the high school playoffs and get drafted by a big league team or choose to go to college, there are 8 colleges to choose from, basically the best baseball colleges in the country from TCU and LSU to last years champs Tennessee, with no college baseball games being made since 2007 this is the first game to have real licensed colleges to be in a video game. Hopefully with last years release of college football 25 finally coming back there testing the waters to see how people react to college baseball in an attempt to hopefully making a new college game. Overall the game is a master class in graphics, options, you name it. Best baseball game out there, even though there not much competition anymore besides a few little leaguer games like super mega baseball or RBI, this is for anyone that likes the game, the hardcore stats guys to the casual fans to anyone in between, I personally play this on the PS5 and it’s amazing. It’s almost like your watching it on tv rather than playing it. If you like baseball and are curious just buy it, the college trans alone warrant a purchase.

It is a good baseball game that has been good fun for my young teenage sons. It is content and complexity appropriate for my 13 and 15 year olds. I estimate that some 11 year olds may grasp the full game mechanics, but I would not recommend it for anyone younger.

A very complicated and comprehensive MLB simulation with lots of choices in how challenging and in-depth you want to play.

I am not much of a Baseball fan, but I do enjoy playing MLB The Show 25 with friends and Co-worker when not playing Call of Duty or NBA 2k

Grandson likes it. Now I have to buy more for the other grandsons.

I did a trial of this game on PlayStation and loved it! It’s better than the other shows I have tried and would recommend this game to anyone.

Always a good buy for MLB the Show
