Roster
Full 40-man rosters are included for each Major League Baseball franchise. Real AA and AAA minor league teams are included but with fictional players replacing any players not on the real-life 40-man roster at the time of the game’s last roster update.
Series Firsts
- For the first time in the series, saves from the Road to the Show, Franchise, and Postseason modes can be imported from the previous year’s game.
- A new Universal Rewards system ties the card-collecting Diamond Dynasty mode into the other game modes. Finishing a game will earn you a Diamond Dynasty card, and equipment cards from Diamond Dynasty can be used to improve the attributes of your Road to the Show player.
- This game introduces the Directional Hitting mode. Instead of aiming your bat, the left analog stick influences where the ball will be hit: push or pull, fly ball or ground ball.
- For the first time since MLB 10 The Show, a roster of 30 Legends players are included. Collecting an entire team of player cards in the Diamond Dynasty mode will unlock a notable player from that team’s past, and the legend players can be added as free agents in the Franchise mode.
