Similar to our RTTS and Diamond Dynasty thread, we have an opportunity to chat with MLB The Show 25 devs next week about gameplay and Franchise Mode.

Not all questions will be answered, so make sure to post your best ones. If you see a question you like, be sure to "give it a thumbs up" so we know how important it is for the community to get the answers for them.

I'll probably close this thread at some point on Sunday evening.

Thanks all.

Will we be able to customize leagues in franchise, ie: number of teams, divisions or games? Realignment?

JWDixon120 · 03-07-2025, 08:07 PM

Is there a way to toggle off the HR Celebration camera like in past titles?

How does the new “pop time” attribute work? Does it only affect how fast a catcher releases the ball?

For franchise, is bullpen management fixed?

For franchise, can rules be changed mid save? (DH on/off, extra innings rule, etc?)

Would it be possible for spring training to just have a pool of players 85-90 for us to use in games? Not just the 40 man roster.

Maybe someone can word that better than I did.

I love this question.

Will NRI’s be possible in Spring Training so young guys can get some run without having to be on the 40?

What is the plan for bullpen management?

Are there more feet first slides like hook and popup in the game?

Can fly balls or pop ups be lost in the sun?

Are there more infielder error animations in gameplay?

bcruise · 03-07-2025, 08:28 PM

Are there any new gameplay tuning sliders in the game?

Has there been any sim logic tuning to reduce the number of complete games by starting pitchers to better reflect real life MLB (more than what can be accomplished through changing the stamina and manager hook sliders, anyway)?

Thanks!

How do managers affect the game? Is there any logic behind different managers or is it just a small ratings gain or reduction for good/bad skippers?
