My All-Time Team Lineups in MLB The Show 25
-
If anybody here watches Koogs46, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, then here's what this is: a little after all the Finest content drops, I take the best players from a given franchise and build a DD team revolving around that given team and use that team in Ranked. I did this for the first time last year, and I'm happy to say I'm doing it again this year. I usually start with the WS champion, which is the Dodgers for the second year in a row, the runner-up, which is the Blue Jays, and my favorite team which is the New York Mets. Then I just go by which team I have the most cards of. Anyway here's my Dodgers team:
C. HOF Mike Piazza
1B. 2025 Postseason Freddie Freeman
2B. Awards Jackie Robinson
3B. Neon Adrian Beltre
SS. Awards Corey Seager
LF. 2025 Finest Cody Bellinger
CF. Egg Hunt Duke Snider
RF. Awards Mookie Betts
DH. 2025 Postseason Shohei Ohtani
Bench:
1B. HOF Gil Hodges
RF. Awards Gary Sheffield
C. 2025 Postseason Will Smith
1B. 99 HRD X Adrian Gonzalez
Rotation:
Milestone Clayton Kershaw
Milestone Don Sutton
Rookie Fernando Valenzuela
2025 Postseason Yoshinobu Yamamoto
2025 Postseason Blake Snell
Bullpen:
2025 Postseason Will Klein
Spooky Craig Kimbrel
Standout Evan Phillips
Spotlight Justin Wrobleski
Color Storm Blake Treinen
2025 Postseason Roki Sasaki
All-Star Eric Gagne
Awards Kenley Jansen
I don't think I missed anybody with the team I built but if I did let me know. -
Here is what my program came up with for the best all around Dodgers team
It does not take into account Captain boosts but it does have Andy Pages and Blake Treinen for their boosts.
It also only takes into account cards that are for the team in question which is why no Corey Seager

@Dolenz_PSN
Yeah, this would be more of a Dodgers "theme team" rather than an "all-time" team. -

Yeah, this would be more of a Dodgers "theme team" rather than an "all-time" team.True. I have always been that way though. I won't use Colorado's Arenado (or Holliday) or Oaklands McGwire on a Cardinals squad. I have some tunnel vision in that regard.
I did think about trying to add a players multiple teams to their cards for this purpose (all-time teams) but it seemed like more hassle than it was worth.
Also blame SDS for not giving Duke Snider a better card (Yet???)
Personally I would probably hold off until next Tuesday to see if any Retro cards fit the Bill. Not only does Snider need a better card. So does Fernando Valenzuela

@Dolenz_PSN
And Gagne -
The all time team series is one i am really excited for. Koogs always does a great job on it
-
Welp, I played my first game with LA on the road. 12-4 win (6th inning rage quit), here’s how it went:
Jackie hit 3 homers that game
DUKE SNIDER WENT 450!!!
Piazza went yard for a two-run
Kershaw pitched 6 innings (he quit after he hit in the sixth), gave up 4 bombs but only 5 hits with a bunch of K’s
Seager hit an RBI double
I will be constructing the Blue Jays soon -

Let me know once it’s time for the Mariners one. I’d love to see what you come up with
-
@HuckTheFuskers3_XBL
I got you, I’m doing the Mets right after Toronto since they’re my favorite team, but I think I’ll do Seattle right afterwards.
Edit: Toronto’s bullpen is usually terrible but it took an even greater with hit with the loss of Tom Henke, who I loved to use the last two years. Louis Varland pitched in all seven WS games and I think set the record for the most playoff appearances in a single postseason. He didn’t get a card. Yes, good job, SDS.
Edit: I did all-time teams last year - only the 2024 All-Time Guardians had a worse bullpen than this monstrosity. SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE LIAM AND LOUIS A GOOD CARD! -
@TheBigPapa55_PSN said in My All-Time Team Lineups in MLB The Show 25:

Or a Chris Bassitt relief pitcher card. Anything to improve that bullpen. Your rendition is only bolstered by the fact you are using one tine blue jays like Chavez or Hendricks otherwise it is really bad with only Hoffman and live series options (I think Hoffman may be the best three options!!)

@Jeff7407_PSN
These are the only cards that have played for Toronto that are in the game, sadly (oh wait, I forgot 97 Brock Stewart, welp that’s all for Louis).
