MLB The Show 25: Update 9 Patch Notes Released

Summary

MLB The Show 25’s Update 9 introduces critical gameplay bug fixes and significant modifications to Diamond Dynasty mode.
The update raises buy/sell order limits within Diamond Dynasty to promote high-value trading.
Issues in Road to the Show and Franchise modes are also addressed, enhancing user experience.

MLB The Show 25 has launched its latest patch, Update 9, bringing a host of game improvements across various modes of the baseball simulation. This update focuses on fixing bugs in gameplay and considerably overhauls the beloved Diamond Dynasty mode, aiming to enhance the player experience.

The new installment, officially released on March 18, 2025, is the first exclusive to next-gen consoles. Regular updates have been a staple since launch, averaging roughly one per week. Previous updates focused on refining both Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty, which are also key targets for this latest enhancement.

Update 9 not only rectifies existing gameplay issues but also implements critical changes to Diamond Dynasty, particularly increasing the buy/sell order limit for player items with ratings between 90-95 OVR from 500,000 to 750,000. This change is intended to better mirror the actual market value of the game’s elite cards, while requiring players to gather a larger quantity of Stubs. Fortunately, numerous methods are available for players to acquire these Stubs effectively.

Looking ahead, the future for MLB The Show 25 appears promising, especially with consistent positive feedback and ongoing updates. However, one looming question remains: How will the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which is still yet to finalize its sports title lineup, impact the series’ expansion? Fans hope to see MLB The Show 25 included in Nintendo’s new hardware lineup later this year.
