The first reveal of Diamond Dynasty card art in MLB The Show 25 is here. Along with a peek at new art, we also caught a glimpse of some of the cards that Digital Deluxe Edition purchasers will see in their pre-order bonus choice packs.
First up is the 20th Anniversary Choice Pack. SP Clayton Kershaw, 3B David Wright, C Joe Mauer, and RF Vladimir Guerrero are decked out in some sleek, clean art for this pack. The fabled MYSTERY OPPONENT is most likely a new legend. It’s entirely possible there’s more cards to choose from here, but at least for now, it looks like both pre-order choice packs will feature five cards to choose from respectively.
Next up is a good ole fashioned Legend choice pack. Exclusively featuring Legends, this pack showcases CP Billy Wagner, SS Derek Jeter, SP Nolan Ryan, and OF Sammy Sosa with MYSTERY OPPONENT again rounding out the bunch. Notable here is the Contributor and Last Ride series, two brand-new card sets that we’ll see in MLB The Show 25.
In terms of the mystery men, we have yet to see all new legends coming this year so it can be any number of potential players. I feel like Manny Ramirez is a lock for one of these packs, with Roger Clemens being a huge new name to throw into pre-orders as well. There’s plenty of time before launch so time will tell.
If you’re enticed by these pre-order bonuses, this link will take you to the pre-order website to snag your copy.
Do these pre-order packs excite you? Who are you taking and why?
