Alright, folks, let’s talk about MLB The Show 25—because this year’s game isn’t just a baseball sim, it’s a fortune teller that’s throwing some absolute curveballs at us. If you’ve checked out the full-season simulation Yahoo Sports ran, you already know we’re looking at some blockbuster trades, a new World Series winner (finally, Brewers fans can breathe), and a season that’s either wildly unpredictable or scarily accurate.
Now, before we get too deep, let’s address the big ones:
Also, can we talk about Juan Soto? After that insane $765M contract, the guy puts up a meh .279 average with 37 homers and the Mets don’t even make the postseason. Mets fans, I won’t say it, but…you know.
One of the rumors floating around is that we could see an expansion of the game’s Road to the Show mode, possibly including college teams in some way. NCAA integration would be a game-changer. Imagine grinding through a college season before making your way to the draft instead of just a generic showcase. If that actually happens in a future update, we might finally get the depth this mode deserves.
The Brewers winning it all is definitely not what I had on my bingo card for 2025, but hey, simulations don’t lie, right? A 3-1 comeback against the Yankees? Joey Ortiz as World Series MVP? It’s like the game wanted to shake things up, and I’m not mad at it. But if this prediction actually comes true, I’ll start using MLB The Show 25 for betting picks.
Look, if you haven’t picked up the game yet, it’s worth it—especially if you’re into Franchise Mode and like seeing teams do completely unhinged things. But if you’re a PC player? Yeah, you’re still out of luck. Maybe MLB The Show 26 will finally break that barrier, but at this point, I won’t hold my breath.
What do you think—will any of these predictions actually happen, or is this just another year of video game randomness? Let’s hear it.
Now, before we get too deep, let’s address the big ones:
- Cover star? Gunnar Henderson. Good pick, the kid’s a beast.
- MLB The Show 25 release date? Already out and making waves.
- PC players? Still left in the dust. Seriously, Sony, what’s the pass on bringing this to PC? We’re begging here.
Trades That Make You Go “Wait, What?”
This sim went wild with trades. Freddie Freeman to Baltimore? The A’s actually making moves that aren’t just dumping talent for peanuts? The Yankees doing Yankees things? I mean, it’s one thing to see crazy deals in Franchise Mode when you’re messing around, but when a fully automated sim starts throwing these out, you have to wonder what kind of season we’re in for.Also, can we talk about Juan Soto? After that insane $765M contract, the guy puts up a meh .279 average with 37 homers and the Mets don’t even make the postseason. Mets fans, I won’t say it, but…you know.
College Teams & A New Mode?
