How to create and use custom rosters in MLB The Show 25

MLB The Show 25 offers updated squads for all official franchises, but you can tweak it further by using custom squads.

With a few more movements across teams expected before the start of the new season, you can make all the updates yourself with a few simple steps. Alternatively, you can make custom squads from your bucket lists and use them across different game modes.

How to customize rosters in MLB The Show 25

• Open the game and go to the main screen.
• You’ll see a paintbrush icon at the top right. Click on it and select the second option, “Roster Control.”
• Select Roster Control once again. It will open up the full set of teams available inside the game. You can edit MLB, AAA, and AA team squads (as shown in the screenshot).

• Click on a team you want to edit to open up a new set of actions.
• If you want to transfer a player from one team to another, select Player Movement.
• Lineups allow you to customize the starting squad and bench options.
• Pitching Rotation allows you to edit the bullpen.
• If you want to promote, demote, or import an athlete from a team, choose Manage Roster/Import Player.

The process is identical to the previous MLB The Show games. Once you are done with all your changes, save them to create a customized roster. Then, you can load MLB The Show 25 to play with the customized roster (just like “Roster” in the following screenshot).

If you want to generate and use multiple customized rosters in the game, that’s easily possible. Just make sure to use specific names to avoid getting mixed up between them. The squads can be used in all available game modes, barring Diamond Dynasty.
