Author: Ikecy Christian May 9, 2025 Duration: 20:02

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into MLB The Show 25 and we’re not just talking about new features and shiny graphics. From tighter hitting mechanics to a smarter, more punishing pitching system, this year’s game is all about nuance and challenge. I break down what’s working, what’s frustrating, and where this game sits in the lineup of The Show’s legacy.


We get into everything:

Hitting that finally rewards precision

Pitching mechanics that force real strategy

Fielding, baserunning, and new sliding tech

Franchise mode improvements (hello, better scouting!)

Diamond Dynasty’s eternal battle with microtransactions

Road to the Show's story tweaks and grind factor


Whether you're a vet of the series or considering jumping in for the first time, I’ve got the full scouting report to help you decide if it’s worth stepping up to the plate this year.


Host Ikecy Christian invites you to pull up a chair for Video Games | Ongamecast, a conversation that treats gaming as the rich, complex medium it is. Each episode is less a review and more a deep excavation, whether we're getting lost in the intricate systems of a new release or revisiting the emotional weight of a classic. You'll hear us unpack the craft behind the experiences, from the subtle narrative choices in an indie darling to the sprawling ambition of a blockbuster epic. The goal is to move past simple scores and hot takes, fostering a genuine appreciation for the artistry and history embedded in every title. This podcast thrives on that detailed exploration, finding the human stories in the code and the lasting impact of the worlds we temporarily inhabit. Tune in for thoughtful, passionate discussions that connect the dots between design, culture, and pure play, celebrating how games resonate long after the console is turned off.
