Once we enter the month of February each year it feels like the countdown is on for the latest edition of the MLB The Show video game franchise. Or perhaps that is just in my household. 2025 is no different with this year’s edition having a new feature that should have plenty of fans excited.
When you created your ‘Road to the Show’ player, didn’t you want to play in high school or even college before getting drafted by your future MLB squad? This year you can do both with the addition of high school and college games in the new ‘amateur years’ portion of ‘Road to the Show.’ Major League Baseball posted on their X account the news of this feature which should get plenty excited.
The post on MLB’s X account, shows the Tennessee Volunteers, LSU Tigers, UCLA Bruins, TCU Horned Frogs, and Cal State Fullerton Titans as the included teams. The gameplay trailer also showed the Texas Longhorns, Vanderbilt Commodores, and the South Carolina Gamecocks.
According to the release from The Show, you begin your ‘Road to the Show’ journey by playing two to three games in high school and three to four college games in the ‘Amateur Years.’ You can hear authentic high school and college audio such as the clank of metal bats and rattle of chain link fences.
The game is available for pre-order to gain early access on Mar. 14, 2025, with everyone else gaining access on Mar. 18.
