MLB 25 Road To The Show mode is one of the most popular modes for players. In this mode, players can simulate a player’s growth path from high school to the major leagues.
You need to decide whether to be a pitcher, catcher, baserunner or outfielder. Your various attributes determine whether your growth path is smooth. Besides attributes, there is also a talent tree system in RTTS, where you can set perks for your character to make him perform best in a specific state.
Depending on your position, perks mainly go in 4 directions:
- Batting: 23 Perks
- Pitching: 14 Perks
- Fielding: 11 Perks
- Baserunning: 9 Perks
The initial perks bring little improvement, but you can use MLB The Show 25 stubs to further improve the attributes of perks. Here are all the perks.
