Good move to have him on the cover. He's a great, exciting young player that appeals to younger players. It's a no brainer.

As a Reds fan, I hope that means Great American Ball Park gets stadium shots from the exterior. I actually hope all stadiums in The Show 25 get exterior views (and more too).

One thing that I may be reading into with yesterday's post from SDS is the black background. Was this intentional to indicate the main menu will be a darker background? The white background from '24 should be permanently retired in my opinion.

I got used to it to a point, but ideally it needs to be darker.

Damn, how'd I miss Skenes reveal. I'm slipping.

The only thing I want Sony to start doing different in regards to the cover is to pick more pitchers. There's more than just eight positions ya know.

I know we got Shohei three years ago, but let's face it, without his big bat, he wasn't getting the cover.

Hopefully the 3 different cover athletes doesn't mean it's still on last gen. Unfortunately I'm thinking 3 athletes means one on Playstation, one Xbox, and one Nintendo.

Skenes is scheduled to appear on late night TV tomorrow w/ Seth Meyers. I haven't seen if EDC or Gunnar have anything lined up.

FWIW, I hope it's Skenes because we've never had a pure pitcher on the cover.

Already confirmed it’s on last gen. Too many sales they’d miss out on for if not to be on both.

Very happy it's current gen only if that means a significant graphical upgrade for the game.

Re: Who Is the MLB The Show 25 Cover Athlete?

I am curious how much of an upgrade it's actually gonna be in "Year 1", unless they've secretly been working on this one in the background as well.
