San Diego Studio, the developer behind MLB The Show 25, has some exciting updates in the pipeline, especially for those who spend hours in the Diamond Dynasty mode. Fans have a lot to look forward to as significant changes have been announced, marking a new era for the series.
MLB The Show 24 was a notable release, celebrated for refining the game mechanics and boosting the Road To The Show mode with impressive upgrades. While Diamond Dynasty wasn’t without its flaws, it was a step up from previous versions, contributing to the game’s popularity. Thanks to MLB The Show 24’s availability on the standard tier of Xbox Game Pass, more players have been joining the fray lately. This inclusion alongside Xbox Game Pass Ultimate since the game’s launch has certainly boosted player numbers, something which bodes well for the future success of MLB The Show 25.
In a recent blog post, San Diego Studio shared a sneak peek into MLB The Show 25’s features. The standout news is the elimination of the Sets and Seasons feature in Diamond Dynasty, which had sparked controversy in MLB The Show 24. This change means “every card can be used freely throughout the year,” a move that reflects the developer’s response to player feedback. Players had voiced frustration over not being able to use high-rated cards indefinitely, and San Diego Studio’s decision to drop this feature is likely to be well-received.
The phasing out of Sets and Seasons also hints at broader changes coming to the rest of MLB The Show 24 content, providing a taste of what’s in store for MLB The Show 25. Furthermore, improvements are coming to Road To The Show, with promises to “enhance the player’s journey before the draft” and introduce new ways to “develop and grow.” Expect updates in gameplay, including “expanded quick time events, defensive AI advancements, and refined pathing.” Clearly, MLB The Show 25 is shaping up to deliver some thrilling innovations, with more details anticipated in the months ahead.
Though we don’t have a confirmed release date for MLB The Show 25 yet, history suggests it will likely hit stores between March and April based on previous launches. Meanwhile, MLB The Show 24 is expected to continue its evolution, particularly as the controversial Sets and Seasons draw to a close in Season 4. Fans can rest assured that exciting developments are on the horizon.
