MLB The Show 25 will be officially released on March 18, but pre-orders have already been opened on February 4. Players currently have to decide which version to buy before the official release, so as to better experience the game as soon as the game is released.
According to the information released so far, SDS has made great changes to the loopholes in Franchise Mode that players strongly called for, which makes players even more impatient. In addition, Road to the Show mode and Diamond Dynasty have also had new changes, but before understanding these specific information, players' top priority is to decide which version to pre-order. The main options provided for pre-order this time are Standard version and Deluxe version. The main difference between the two is in price and content. The following are the specific details for players' reference.
STANDARD EDITION
The standard version costs $59.99 on Switch and $69.99 on PS and Xbox. It contains all the baseball content that can be experienced, including MLB players, teams, stadiums and all modes. After purchasing this version, players can enjoy more exquisite player models in the game than in 24 years, and follow the players' careers and build their own teams.
LIMITED PHYSICAL EDITION
This is no different from the standard version in terms of game content and price, but it will come with a limited edition MLB The Show Topps trading card for the first batch of players. There are three types of trading cards, Paul Skenes, Gunnar Henderson and Elly De La Cruz, which is an incentive for players who buy physical games. If you are interested in these cards, this is a good choice because they are likely to appreciate in value one day.
DELUXE EDITION
The deluxe edition is the most expensive among the several versions, costing $99.99. But knowing the extra content compared to the standard edition, there will definitely be players who pay for it.
The most prominent point is that players who buy this version can enter Early Access in advance on March 14th. The four-day early access will receive double rewards and will have 20,000 initial MLB 25 stubs at the beginning, which is a great help for the initial farming of the game. In addition, players who purchase this version will receive 20 The Show Packs, a Diamond Choice Pack, five Gold Choice Packs and a special pack to celebrate the 120th anniversary of baseball. This means that players will have a top player in the team at the beginning and can save a lot of farming time to invest in building the team.
MLB The Show 25 stubs are the necessary currency for buying players, building teams and collecting player items in the game. Players who purchased the standard version do not need to feel sorry for not having them at the beginning. The more than 30 dollars you save can be obtained on IGGM.com at a more affordable price. A lot of stubs can also provide you with a lot of help.
Finally, every pre-order player will receive a pre-order bonus of a Gold Choice Pack containing high-quality players. Obviously, the pre-order bonus this year is very small, but I guess players' willingness to buy will not change because of this. It is recommended that everyone who wants to play MLB The Show 25 pre-order, which will get more help than buying it at the release.
