*MLB The Show 25* has arrived, bringing with it an exciting new chapter of Road to the Show. This beloved mode lets you step into the shoes of a budding baseball star, embarking on your journey from high school to the major leagues. A crucial decision awaits you at the outset: should you choose the path of college or dive straight into the professional scene? Let's dive into what each choice entails and help you make an informed decision.
In *MLB The Show 25*, you start your Road to the Show journey as a high school athlete with dreams of making it big. As you play through your final high school season, aiming for a state title, scouts from top colleges and major league teams closely watch your performance. Your journey takes a pivotal turn after the MLB Combine, where your draft stock and college recruitment options become clearer.
After the Combine, you commit to a school, and the MLB Draft occurs. Even if you plan to attend college, a team will draft you, setting the stage for your big decision. Here are the options you might encounter:
The choice ultimately boils down to personal preference. If you've spent countless seasons toiling in the minor leagues in past games, the allure of college might be strong. The prospect of being the #1 overall pick and entering the pros as a more developed player can be incredibly rewarding. However, if you relish the challenge and grind of climbing the ranks from the bottom, going pro immediately might be more your style.
In our experience at The Escapist, opting for college proved to be the right move. The chance to be the #1 draft pick was too tempting to pass up, and the college experience was fun and engaging. Plus, the game fast-forwards to your third year during a championship run, meaning you don't miss out on too much pro action.
So, whether you choose to pursue higher education or leap straight into the professional world, *MLB The Show 25* offers a rich and rewarding experience either way. For more tips and tricks, check out the best pitching settings for the new sports game.
*MLB The Show 25* is currently available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
