The latest patch imlb the show stubsn MLB The Show 25 dropped this week, and it brings with it some pretty exciting content — especially if you’re a Colorado Rockies fan or just a uniform enthusiast in general. Headlining the update is the addition of the 2025 Rockies City Connect uniforms, along with a handful of subtle but impactful gameplay fixes that make the experience smoother all around.

Let’s start with the big visual win — the new City Connect uniforms. The Rockies are breaking boundaries with a pullover-style jersey (a first in the City Connect series), combining a fresh take on the state’s natural beauty with a modern flair. The top is divided between sky blue and deep purple, symbolizing Colorado’s iconic transitions from clear daylight to mountain twilight. It also has splashes of red, yellow, and blue, nodding to the Colorado state flag.

In-game, the uniform looks sharp. The devs did a great job capturing the fabric texture, unique cut, and even the way it catches light under stadium conditions. Whether you’re running a Franchise Mode or just taking your custom Diamond Dynasty squad for a spin, it’s an awesome option that adds more personality to your lineup. Plus, the reactions from the community so far have been overwhelmingly positive — it’s just one of those rare times where the real-life design and the in-game representation line up beautifully.

But this update wasn’t all about fashion. The patch also tackled a few quality-of-life improvements that fans have been asking for:

Smoother Animations: Fielding transitions and baserunning animations have been polished. Outfielders especially feel more fluid when chasing down line drives or adjusting routes.

Pitching AI Tweaks: CPU pitchers are now more dynamic in pitch selection, which should make Franchise and Road to the Show games feel less predictable and more strategic.

Batting Timing Windows: Slight improvements to hit registration on “Perfect/Perfect” swings have been made, giving players better results for well-timed inputs.

Equipment Bugs Fixed: A couple of visual bugs related to custom gear (gloves, cleats) not displaying properly have also been squashed.

For online play, the changes might not be dramatic at first glance, but there’s a noticeable bump in game flow and input response, especially in Ranked Seasons. Connection quality and frame pacing feel tighter — or at least more consistent — post-patch, which is a welcome relief after a rocky launch month.

Final thoughts: This update shows San Diego Studio is listening. Between real-world MLB alignment with uniform additions and behind-the-scenes improvements to core gameplay mechanics, this patch feels like a solid step forward. For longtime fans, it might not be a game-changer, but it’s one of those updates that makes everything just a little more enjoyable — and that’s what keeps players coming back.
