MLB The Show 25 stubs

Generally speaking, when MLB the Show series decides to release a new work this year, it will optimize the various mechanisms and systems in the game as much as possible to adapt to the changes in game devices and your increasingly picky requirements.

However, I believe you should have discovered that in MLB 25, there is a system that is almost the same as that displayed in MLB 23/24, that is, the pitching interface. This is because the 5 interfaces in this system have always worked well and are compatible with the current game settings, so there is no need to add or reduce additional interfaces.

On this basis, these 5 interfaces still have their own exclusive operating skills and advantages and disadvantages. You can only use them reasonably if you fully understand each one. After all, if you want to earn more MLB The Show 25 Stubs, you must score as many points as possible in the game, and pitching is the most direct way to score. Based on this, we will analyze these 5 pitching interfaces for you one by one.

1. Classic

• Degree of Difficulty: 1

This is the simplest and most classic MLB pitching interface, suitable for Franchise mode and those who pursue realistic pitching data. The interface is operated by selecting a pitching point and aiming at the direction you want to pitch, then pressing a button to throw the ball to the home plate. Long pressing the button will make the pitch faster at the expense of accuracy, and clicking the button will increase accuracy.

Pros & Cons

The biggest advantage of Classic pitching interface is that it is easy to operate. You can complete the pitch by pressing a button, while ensuring that the control effect of each pitch is as realistic as possible. But unfortunately, the disadvantages are based on the advantages - the overly simple operation method will inevitably make you feel boring, not only may it be difficult for you to stay focused during the game, but it is also difficult to bring you an immersive gaming experience.

2. Pulse

• Degree of Difficulty: 3

The interface is based on time. When you are pitching, a circle will shrink rapidly. All you have to do is press the button when the circle shrinks to the minimum. The more accurate the timing, the more accurate the pitching will be, just like the name of the interface, Pulse. The most suitable interface is Diamond Dynasty in the offline state.

Pros & Cons

Pulse is like an advanced version of Classic interface in terms of advantages: it is easy to master and has certain operability but is not difficult. As for the disadvantages, it is a common problem of similar operation modes in most games, even if you are familiar with it, the final pitching trajectory may still deviate from your expected target. However, some players have found that MLB 25 seems to have made some corrections to this, although it is not obvious.

3. Meter

• Degree of Difficulty: 5

This interface should be regarded as the longest-standing pitching interface in MLB the Show series, and it is also the earliest default pitching method. It’s designed to be a 3-click system: first input power, then time the pitch based on your pitching technique, and is best suited for Franchise mode.

Pros & Cons

Meter interface’s pitching method can maximize the best state of real-game pitchers on the mound by increasing the accuracy window, and is also more interactive than the previous two interfaces. As for the disadvantages, it actually depends on the person - some old players may be tired of this interface, but if you are a new MLB 25 player, it shouldn’t be easy to go wrong with Meter interface.

4. Pure Analog

• Degree of Difficulty: 5

Pure Analog works by having you move the analog stick back to start the pitch and then move forward at the right time and angle to hit the target as accurately as possible.

Pros & Cons

The advantage of this interface is that as long as you grasp the best timing and stick technique at the same time, and the interface is operated properly, you can maximize the accuracy of the pitching results without having to laboriously track the different shapes of different pitch points. The disadvantage is that the accuracy of the pitching results may also be slightly reduced because of your input.

5. Pinpoint

• Degree of Difficulty: 9

As the most difficult pitching interface in MLB The Show 25, Pinpoint requires you to manipulate the analog stick in different ways according to different types of pitching situations, and accurately grasp the timing and accuracy of the corresponding manipulation to ensure the accuracy of the pitching results. It is best used in Diamond Dynasty online.

Pros & Cons

As long as you master the operation method, Pinpoint interface can provide you with the most accurate pitching trajectory and results in the game, but the tricky thing is that its difficulty level is destined to only a few players can enjoy the benefits it brings. It is worth mentioning that if you have rich experience in playing first-person shooter games, it will help you to master Pinpoint interface.

The above are the usage methods of all 5 pitching interfaces in MLB 25 and their advantages and disadvantages. You can choose the best interface in different game modes according to your needs. I hope you get excellent results in the game!

MLB The Show series of games released by San Diego Studio has always been one of the best games in the minds of baseball fans and baseball video game fans. In March of this year, it opened the latest chapter of this long-standing baseball game and launched MLB The Show 25, the 20th work in this series.

After the release of this game, it brought a lot of surprises to many players and fans: for the first time, many MLB stars were set as the cover, allowing players to have a more realistic and immersive baseball game experience, and adding a Road to the Show mode, so that players can more personalized advance the journey of Major League Baseball in the game.

In order to further enhance the player’s gaming experience in MLB 25, the development team released Game Update 7 last week, which fixed the currently known game errors and made some improvements and adjustments to the gameplay based on the comments and opinions of the players.

This guide will give you a look at what you can expect to see in the latest game, and how it will affect your exploration of the game based on the developer’s update announcement. Without further ado, let’s dive into the new update!

Major Updates

Among the many quality of life updates, the improvements to Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty are particularly important. In Road to the Show, regular season stats will no longer be displayed in the playoffs, and your player card will no longer jump from AA to AAA after a trade.

Previously, players would often experience crowd noise when training in empty fields in Road to the Show mode. Now, MLB 25 has fixed this problem and improved the display of each field on different consoles, making it more immersive to hone your players and further improve their attributes.

The long-standing complaints about the opening screen in Road to the Show mode have been fixed in this update, and some players have also been able to solve the game freezing when connecting a second controller in the menu in MLB 25.

Diamond Quest in Diamond Dynasty mode of MLB The Show 25 has also received some improvements, such as removing some repeated scenes, fixing the screen flickering problem that players encounter during exploration, and adjusting some skill rewards.

These will prevent you from getting repeated player skills of the same rarity level in it, so that you will have more chances to score and win the final victory in the simulated baseball game. Meanwhile, this also helps developers avoid the loss of many player groups caused by highly repeated rewards.

In addition, after this Game Update 7, you can also get some PXP and Peanuts from Mini Bosses in Diamond Quest mini-game, and treasure rewards have become better than stadium challenges, making it easier for you to earn more MLB The Show 25 Stubs in it.

Not only that, some of the game mechanisms have also been optimized in this update: for example, players can use Perfect Accuracy Region to achieve very accurate pitching and ensure that your ball will always be in this target area.

Substitution screens will no longer go blank even if you change pitchers, and the preset pitch anchors will remain from the start of the game to the end of the game. Additionally, catchers will no longer get stuck in the blocking animation when they touch a batter’s hit ball while locked in, and intentional walks will no longer interfere with the pitch clock.

Also, Franchise mode has received some changes. Now the accuracy of rookie trade indicators has been improved, which means that players can better predict when rookies will make their MLB debut and when their team’s control time will begin to decrease, so as to calculate the accurate trade value of rookies more quickly.

At the same time, some functions on the menu have been improved to prevent the accidental jump to the maximum amount when the rookie’s contract is renewed. Not only rookies, but also some star players’ rights in MLB 25 have been protected - if a star player’s contract is negatively affected, your trade value when signing the next contract with this star player will be increased.

In order to meet the players’ request for a leaderboard in this mode, the developers have added the expected rankings and expected leaders of the first ten games of the regular season in this update. In addition, the player lists from March to October have been updated, including the free agents signed by the team at the end of the offseason.

General Updates

In addition to gameplay modifications and improvements, the update in MLB The Show 25 also brings some changes to improve the player’s gaming experience. For example, 2025 San Francisco Giants City Connect uniforms have been added so that loyal fans of this team can wear them in the game and show their style.

In addition, some problems with in-game settings have been fixed: when you use a player with dreadlocks on the field, your game frame rate will not change; and the player’s hair physics have been enhanced on Xbox Series S.

After the game is over, all spectators must wait until the national anthem of the winning country is played before they can take their seats to show respect for the winning team. And fixed the color problem that appeared on the big screen when Yankee Stadium played at home.

Not only has the content in the stadium been improved, but the general commentary and audio outside the stadium have also been improved, allowing you to have a more immersive game experience. There are also changes to the user interface and the readability of some text.
