After the very popular MLB 24, San Diego Studio has launched a new game for many baseball fans in Mar 18th called MLB The Show 25, which adds a lot of new game content, such as the excitement of the audience in the game, the roar when the bat is swinging, and the suspense of the championship, etc., which makes players have a more immersive experience.
In addition to the field, there are also many new events outside the field, such as negotiations, transactions, and some tough decisions that may change the fate of the team. These are what you will experience in Franchise Mode in MLB 25. Here you will have a more detailed and realistic baseball team management simulation. What you need to do is not just to lead a team to complete one game after another, but to build a complete and successful team over time.
At this stage, some new content in Franchise Mode in MLB The Show 25 has been announced. This guide will walk you through what you need to do as a GM to take advantage of these new changes so you can get a feel for how your experience can be taken to a whole new level in this improved mode.
New Front Office Experience
First of all, MLB 25 improves the way you manage your team and provides you with a deeper experience: you not only need to manage the player list you have, but also introduce more strategic elements to the team you manage. This requires you to consider the various situations carefully that may appear in your team, your motivations, and even the investment direction of your MLB The Show 25 Stubs. In this case, you will feel like the real general manager of the team, making you more immersed.
Not only that, the way you trade players in Franchise Mode has also been improved, becoming more complex and challenging. As the general manager of the team, you can’t just focus on grabbing the best players in the game, you also need to consider your Stubs and how your decisions will affect the long-term development of the team, which means that you need to make a strategic plan in this mode and manage your resources wisely.
New Support Tools
Among all the new features added to you, the most exciting one may be Big Board, a tool that can help you as a general manager better plan the offseason and build your team.
From the description alone, you may think it is useless, but it is the opposite. It not only lists the current free agents, but also helps you list the players who are more compatible with your team, so that you can determine which players you really need.
The emergence of this tool will make your lineup management more efficient, saving a lot of time and energy that may be wasted on players who do not fit your lineup. In addition, Big Board allows you to analyze each free agent more thoroughly, and you can make appropriate adjustments to your team during the offseason by updating the player’s enthusiasm every week.
More Tasks
In the new Franchise Mode, your tasks as a general manager have also changed: in addition to negotiations and trades, you also need to think strategically and make some correct choices and use your resources wisely to build a more comprehensive lineup. This requires you to consider not only the player’s skills and position when building a team, but also whether he can work effectively with the players in the current lineup.
In addition, you need to decide which young players are more worthy of your MLB 25 Stubs and which experienced players should be retained. Of course, you may also need to focus on improving scouting and training facilities, funding player development programs, and investing in new technologies to ensure the overall competitiveness of your team.
More Realistic Deals
Compared to MLB 24, you will feel more realistic as a general manager in the new franchise mode, especially in terms of player salaries and contracts. Player salary figures in the new game have now been updated to be more consistent with real-world games and make the financial aspects more credible. What's more, when the team you lead cannot reach a contract agreement with the player you selected, a hearing will be held to determine the final salary, just like in the real league.
At the same time, contract negotiations are more realistic, as players now ask for salaries that are consistent with their real-world incomes, which also requires you as a general manager to make more difficult decisions: spending too much on a top free agent who does not have the ability to trade him later may limit your team’s financial flexibility.
Better Enjoyment Experience
Of course, with the help of the current generation of consoles, MLB 25 has made major improvements to the look and sound of Franchise Mode, providing you as a general manager with a better gaming experience. For example, the return of familiar commentators John Sciambi and Chris Singleton and the addition of new Adrienne Roberson and Renel Brooks-Moon will increase the atmosphere of the entire stadium several times.
One of the most prominent changes is the improvement of the introduction of Franchise Mode. You can now enjoy a cinematic presentation of some important storylines in this mode and immerse yourself in some key plots and options in the team you manage, instead of the very simple cutscenes shown on the screen before.
The above is some of the new game content in Franchise Mode of MLB The Show 25, which will be released on March 18. Your outstanding performance in this new game’s improved mode is something I eagerly await. I think you will build a team with strong competition capabilities. I wish you a happy game!
