Called Update 9, the MLB The Show 25 patch makes some gameplay bug fixes, a significant change to the fan-favorite Diamond Dynasty mode, and much more – aimed at improving the overall player experience.

The 20th main installment in the long-running series, San Diego Studio’s MLB The Show 25 officially launched on March 18, marking the first time the series has been exclusive to current-gen consoles. Updates to the premier baseball title have been steadily rolling out since its release, averaging about one per week. One of the recent MLB The Show 25 updates made notable changes to both Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty, modes the latest patch also makes significant changes to.

MLB The Show 25: Best Batting Stance

Using the best batting stance in MLB The Show 25 is sure to set you up for success at the plate.

Releasing on April 22, MLB The Show 25‘s Update 9 brings bug fixes to a variety of modes, including Diamond Dynasty, Road to the Show, and Franchise. Road to the Show has fixed its difficulty issue which would sometimes have opponents playing at a higher difficulty than the level selected. Franchise mode now has more proper budgeting, with prorated player salaries applied after mid-season trades. The update also fixes the guess pitch feature, which should come in handy for MLB The Show 25‘s pesky submarine and sidearm pitchers.

MLB The Show 25 Update 9 also makes a noteworthy change to Diamond Dynasty, raising the buy/sell order limit for player items at 90-05 OVR from 500,000 to 750,000, opening the door for more high-value trading and flipping for the most in-demand cards. While the intent appears to be to help reflect the true market value of the elite-tier cards, the increased ceiling does mean players will need to amass higher quantities of Stubs. Thankfully, there are a few ways MLB The Show 25 players can make a ton of Stubs.

With a largely positive initial reception and regular updates to improve the overall experience, the future of MLB The Show 25 looks bright. However, there is a platform that has yet to announce itself as part of that future. While a few have been confirmed, the Nintendo Switch 2’s sports library is still missing a couple of giants, including MLB The Show, EA Sports College Football, and Forza. With its substantially more powerful hardware than its predecessor, fans are hoping MLB The Show 25 gets the call-up to Switch 2 later this year.
