*MLB The Show 25* has arrived, bringing with it an exciting new iteration of Road to the Show, the beloved mode where you can live out your dream of becoming a major league player. One of the key decisions you'll face in this mode is whether to go to college or go pro right out of high school. Let's dive into the details to help you make an informed choice.
In *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you start as a high school player with a state title run ahead of you. Scouts from major colleges and professional teams will be watching your every move, eager to recruit you. Your performance in these high school games and at the MLB Combine will significantly influence your draft stock and the interest from schools.
After the MLB Combine, you'll need to commit to a college or wait to see if you get drafted. Even if you plan to attend college, a team may still draft you. This is the crucial moment where you must decide your path. Here's a breakdown of the options The Escapist received:
If You Go Pro:
- Receive a signing bonus of 5 Tokens
- Reduced chance of being fast-tracked to the Major Leagues
- Begin your pro career at the age of 18
If You Go to College:
- Receive all benefits of LSU’s official offer
- Pursue being the #1 overall pick in a future MLB Draft
- Begin your pro career at the age of 21 after completing your college career
The decision ultimately boils down to your personal preference. If you've spent countless seasons grinding through the minor leagues in past games, the college route might appeal to you. Going #1 overall is a significant achievement and offers a unique experience as a more developed player. However, if you relish the challenge of climbing from the bottom to the top, going pro right away might be more your style.
The Escapist chose to go to college, drawn by the allure of being the #1 overall pick and the promise of a fun and rewarding experience. Notably, the game fast-forwards to your third year during a championship run, so you won't spend too long away from professional baseball. This option lets you enjoy the best of both worlds.
So, whether you choose to go to college or go pro in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, both paths offer distinct experiences. For more tips, check out the best pitching settings for the game.
