MLB The Show 25 - Patch 9 Notes Include Diamond Dynasty Update & More
MLB The Show 25
Sony San Diego Studios released the ninth game update for MLB The Show 25 early on Tuesday morning. The patch targeted a few minor gameplay details, a Marketplace issue and some stability fixes across other modes.
This is the kind of update that doesn't change the DNA of the game but could shift how it feels to play.
MLB The Show 25 has been critically acclaimed, receiving an 83 score on Metacritic. I gave it a 9 in my review, but there are still a good number of people complaining about R and G results in hitting, and overall difficulty having success at the plate.
The studio shared the official update link on X, providing full patch notes for every platform.
To be honest, I'm not as interested in player model updates for The Show 25. I'll be more plugged in on this front for next year's game, which should be a massive visual improvement as the series stops supporting last-gen consoles.
That subtraction should free most sports games up to fully take advantage of the PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and the new Nintendo Switch.
I don't care what anyone says, I've never enjoyed a baseball video game more than I've enjoyed The Show 25. Diamond Dynasty's flow of content is exemplary and I appreciate the challenge of hitting.

There is one thing I'd love to see them add to Diamond Dynasty, and that is the ability to set platoon lineups for Ranked, Event and Battle Royal games. There's no way to know if you'll be facing a left or right-handed pitcher. If we could set platoon lineups that were chosen based on the handedness of the opposing starting pitcher, that would be ideal.
We will see how much people like or dislike the latest update to the game.

Here Are The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Games You Can Buy
Cyberpunk 2077 The Nintendo Switch 2 is out today, and while I would argue that it has released with surprisingly little fanfare in the media space (little advertising, no review units) it's a sold-out system destined to be one of the industry's all-time biggest. One complaint about the launch of the Switch 2 is that it does not have many launch games that you can pick up alongside it. That's both true and not true. It is the case that there are not that many brand new Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, mainly one very high profile one and not a whole lot else. But there are a raft of existing games that have been modified or upgraded to work with the Switch 2, many of which have never appeared on Nintendo consoles before. I'm going to list the full line-up of Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, along with my picks for your best options in bold. Much of this will be personal preference, of course.

Bill Belichick has tried to land Jordon Hudson ‘6-figure' jobs, insider says
Bill Belichick has reportedly been trying to line up some lucrative gigs for his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée) Jordon Hudson. Journalist Pablo Torre, who has been prolific in reporting about the Belichick-Hudson relationship, told Pro Football Talk that the former Patriots coach has tried to boost Hudson's career. Advertisement 'Bill Belichick has told multiple people that I've talked to directly – he has called her brilliant. He has tried to get her six-figure jobs on the media enterprises that he was also working for," Torre said. Torre, the host of Pablo Torre Finds Out, has been vocal in highlighting the significant role Hudson plays in Belichick's life and business. Torre noted that, sure, the 49-year age gap is something that draws attention. However, he notes that there's a big story here. As the head coach at North Carolina, Belichick is the highest-paid public employee in the state. At the same time, Hudson has been acting as his agent, manager and PR specialist. Torre disputed the idea that Hudson was merely handling 'lower level stuff' like social media. He insists that Hudson is 'at the top' of Belichcick's operations. Advertisement 'She is the CEO of Belichick Productions, even if that LLC is not actually incorporated anywhere. That's the LinkedIn profile,' Torre said. 'She is his idea mill and creative muse, per the acknowledgments page of his book. She is the person that you had to deal with if you were Matt (expletive) Damon. The whole idea of, 'No, she's doing the lower level stuff.' No, this is at the top.' Why mention Damon? Torre noted earlier in the interview that Damon and Ben Affleck were put in the usual position of having to negotiate with Hudson when they tried to get Belichick to be in their Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial. Per Torre, the meeting left the actors 'flabbergasted.' More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.

The best reviewed game on every console
As gamers, we love to review and rank just about everything. We've ranked all the video game consoles, best controllers, and plenty more, but the most important thing is always the games. There's plenty of subjectivity in reviews, unlike looking at a more objective metric like the best selling games on each console, but thanks to aggregates like Metacritic, we can get a fairly reliable way to see what games stood above all others on their respective platforms. Sticking to the mainline consoles, and going back through the console generations as far as Metacritic tracks, here are the best reviewed games you can play on every console, plus some runners-up. Highest rated N64 game: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – 99 We all knew Ocarina of Time was going to take the N64's top spot. This game is still one of the highest reviewed games of all time, after all. We're still in awe of how Nintendo could take Mario and Zelda into 3D and make it look effortless. Speaking of Mario, he's not even in the top three. Second place goes to Perfect Dark with a score of 97, GoldenEye 007 in third with 96, and Majora's Mask next with 95. Recommended Videos Highest rated Dreamcast game: SoulCalibur – 98 Sega's final system had a lot of problems, but one thing it did exceptionally well was emulate arcade games. This made it the best place to play fighting games, so it's no surprise that the first SoulCalibur managed to take the top slot. Looking lower, we see Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and NFL 2K1 tied with a 97, and the cult hit Jet Set Radio getting a well-earned 94. Highest rated PS1 game: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 – 98 Speaking of Tony Hawk, Pro Skater 2 scored one point higher on the PS1, which was more than it needed to come out on top. Tekken 3 and Gran Turismo lag a little behind with 96s, but Final Fantasy 9, Chrono Cross, and Metal Gear Solid all share a 94. Highest rated GameCube game: Metroid Prime – 97 The GameCube may not have sold all that well, but it had some massive hits. Metroid Prime is easily one of our favorites, and has one of the best remasters as well, so we're pleased to see it take the crown. However, it was a close race because Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess, and Windwaker all fell just one point behind with a 96. The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition was a surprise to see at a 95, considering it was slightly rare. Highest rated Xbox game: Halo: Combat Evolved – 97 Just like we all knew, Orarina of Time would be the winner for the N64, there was no question Halo would be the best reviewed Xbox game. This title was the definition of a system seller and defined the Xbox brand for generations. Second place goes to the GTA Double Pack with a 96, and Halo 2 holds a 95. Highest rated PS2 game: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3/Grand Theft Auto 3 – 97 Our first tie goes to two similar yet incredibly different PS2 games. THPS 3 and GTA 3 are both foundational games within their genres and, in many ways, encapsulate almost everything we love about the PS2. Sadly, there are no RPGs in the top billings, but you do have Resident Evil 4 and Metal Gear Solid 2 with 96s and San Andreas and Vice City tied with 95s. Highest rated Wii game: Super Mario Galaxy/Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 97 We have to wait until the Wii generation to finally get a Mario game in the top spot, but we don't just get one. Both the Galaxy games tie for the best reviewed game with 97s, though we personally think 2 should get the edge. Twilight Princess somehow scores lower on the Wii than GameCube with a 95, and our first indie game manages to show up with World of Goo earning a 94, beating out even Super Smash Bros. Brawl's 93. Highest rated Xbox 360 game: Grand Theft Auto 4 – 98 Seeing GTA 4 as the best reviewed Xbox 360 game isn't surprising until you remember that GTA 5 was also released on this generation. Granted, GTA 5 has a 97 so it wasn't far behind. Also earning 97s are BioShock, The Orange Box, and Mass Effect 2. That's a strong lineup if we've ever seen one. Highest rated PS3 game: Grand Theft Auto 4 – 98 Besides the Sony exclusives, the best PS3 games and 360 games are almost identical; GTA 4 has a 98, and GTA 5 got a 97. Uncharted 2 and Batman: Arkham City, however, are great to see tied with 96s just below the RockStar games. Highest rated Wii U game: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 96 A lot of people probably forgot Breath of the Wild still came out on the Wii U, but those who played it there loved it almost as much as they did on the Switch. Super Mario 3D World feels a little low for second place with a 93, but it is nice to see Smash for Wii U and Rayman Legends get some love with 92s. Highest rated PS4 game: Red Dead Redemption 2/Grand Theft Auto 5 – 97 Get ready for us to repeat ourselves here, but RockStar just can't be stopped. GTA 5 managed to get a second 97 rating on PS4 alongside Red Dead Redemption 2. As many improvements as GTA got on newer hardware, we don't think it holds a candle to Red Dead. Tied for second are Persona 5 Royal and The Last of Us Remastered with scores of 95. The God of War reboot nips at their heels with a 94. Highest rated Xbox One game: Red Dead Redemption 2/Grand Theft Auto 5 – 97 There's nothing new to say for the top spots. We all know RDR 2 and GTA 5, whether they're on PS4 or Xbox One. Looking down the list, though, Metal Gear Solid 5 manages to take second place with a 95, and even cooler is Celeste and The Witcher 3 sharing 94s right below it. Highest rated Switch game: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Super Mario Odyssey – 97 It feels so appropriate for the best reviewed Switch game to be a tie between Zelda and Mario. Each one pushed their respective genres further than ever and helped revive a lagging Nintendo after the Wii U days. A welcome surprise in second place is the underappreciated The House In Fata Morgana, plus the great sequel Tears of the Kingdom with 96s. Highest rated Xbox Series X/S game: Baldur's Gate 3 – 99 This is the first 99 we've seen since the N64, but we can't say we disagree. It is a little weird since Baldur's Gate 3 took so long to come to Xbox, but maybe that anticipation only helped its score. Either way, it beats out the likes of Elden Ring with a 96 (and Shadow of the Erdree with a 95), and Persona 5 Royal's 94. Highest rated PS5 game: Elden Ring/Baldur's Gate 3 – 96 We're a little puzzled why Baldur's Gate 3 got three points lower on PS5 than Xbox Series, but we don't mind it sharing the top spot with Elden Ring. These two RPGs, while very different, both push the boundaries of what RPGs are. We're overjoyed to see Astro Bot share second place with the likes of The Witcher 3: Complete Edition, Metaphor: Refantazio, and God of War: Ragnarok.
