Major League Baseball (MLB) might be an all-American sport, but MLB The Show 25 has fans riled up worldwide. With the game releasing in a few days, players all over the world are hyped to go head-to-head against their friends, and test their mettle against top players. 

Since multiplayer has become a major selling point for the game, let’s take a look at how you can play MLB The Show 25 multiplayer.

Playing Multiplayer In MLB The Show 25, Explained

Sports games are twice as fun when you’re going up against actual players, and MLB The Show 25 has kept multiplayer simple. To play the game online, follow these steps. 

• If you’re playing with someone on a different console, make sure cross-play is turned on. To do this, head on to the profile button on the main screen and enable cross-play. 
• Now, Go to your Friend List through the Quick Menu.
• Find the friends you want to play with and invite them to a match.
• Select your desired game settings. You can customize different settings like the ballpark, weather, game type, and more.
• Finally, start the match and knock out home runs!

On top of this, you can compete against players worldwide through the Diamond Dynasty mode. Diamond Dynasty is MLB The Show’s main multiplayer mode, offering several different multiplayer options if you’re not interested in simply going up against your friends. So, let’s break it down further to see what exactly the Diamond Dynasty mode has in store.

What Is Diamond Dynasty In MLB The Show 25?

MLB The Show has several game modes like Road To The Show and franchise mode, but Diamond Dynasty is the main attraction. This multiplayer mode features Ranked, Casual, Co-Op, Battle Royale, and rotating event matches where you can put your skills to the test.

Ranked, Casual, and Co-Op are pretty self-explanatory (you can invite two other friends to play with you in co-op, but you can’t invite five for full 3-on-3 games), with Ranked having a competitive ladder while Casual offers simple day-to-day matches. Battle Royale, however, is a unique game type where players will draft teams of 26 and compete against other players for all the glory.

Additionally, if you get bored of the standard baseball matches, you can head over to the unique rotating events section. Here, you’ll find events with unique rules and creative restrictions, making the game mode different and fun. Also, you can get your hands on exclusive rewards and unlock more jerseys and other items as you go along.

Another feature of the Diamond Dynasty mode is that Ranked, Battle Royale, and Events are all part of a unified multiplayer program. This means progression through any one of these game types accounts for overall progression in the multiplayer. 

So, once the game is released, try out all these features and stack up wins against players worldwide.
