Unlock Exclusive Rewards: MLB The Show 25 Weekend Classic Breakdown

by

On weekends, Weekend Classic in MLB The Show 25 offers a chance for gamers to test their team’s mettle against top-tier competition.

In many sports simulation games, there’s a multiplayer mode where competition is encouraged. For instance, the FUT Champs in EA FC 25 requires participants to strive for qualification, followed by completing 15 matches over the weekend, to receive rewards in Ultimate Team.

In other sports games like the NHL, Madden, and NBA 2K, there are comparable game modes. However, up until now, MLB The Show hasn’t included a weekend tournament mode. But with this new release, that’s about to change.

Let’s jump into everything players need to know before jumping into the mode for the first time.

What is Weekend Classic?

On weekends, the Classic tournament offers six opening contests where victories bring higher prizes. Keep going beyond the initial six games to rack up extra rewards and compete against 99 other players in a leaderboard race.

Each separate league has its own top 100 leaderboard for every Weekend Classic.

At the conclusion of a Weekend Classic tournament, the leading ten participants receive greater incentives. In the Weekend Classic matches, the regulations mirror those of Ranked. These contests consist of nine rounds, and the level of challenge depends on the ratings of both competitors.

In this game mode, Quick Counts, Estimated Pitches, and Hesitations are turned off, and there aren’t any limitations on forming teams. The Weekend Classic setting is designed for one-on-one matches; therefore, you can’t play cooperatively with a buddy in this scenario.

When is the first Weekend Classic?

The inaugural Weekend Classic takes place from Friday, April 11, through Tuesday, April 15. San Diego Studio has announced that the majority of events will transpire between late Friday afternoon and early Tuesday afternoon. However, certain events may last for less or more time than this.

Developers have yet to disclose the exact frequency of the upcoming tournaments, however, they guaranteed that enthusiasts could anticipate them regularly towards the conclusion of each Ranked phase.

How to qualify for Weekend Classic

Every player gains entry into the Weekend Classic tournament by default. However, a player’s position in the Solo Ranked league can help them secure qualification for more advanced leagues, offering greater prizes.

Here is a look at all eight leagues.

  • Bronze I (0-399 Ranked Rating) 
  • Bronze II (400-499 Ranked Rating) 
  • Silver I (500-599 Ranked Rating) 
  • Silver II (600-699 Ranked Rating) 
  • Gold I (700-799 Ranked Rating) 
  • Gold II (800-899 Ranked Rating) 
  • Diamond (900-999 Ranked Rating) 
  • Immortal (1000-9999 Ranked Rating) 

Successfully completing Ranked games boosts your Ranked Score, moving you closer to higher-tier leagues. The league you ultimately join depends on the highest ranking you attained during that particular season.

Weekend Classic rewards

As a dedicated soccer enthusiast, I’ve discovered that climbing up the ranks in leagues brings more enticing perks. Every weekend during the Classic matches, there are exclusive two-player item rewards on offer! These tempting treasures can be unlocked starting from the Gold 1 league and beyond.

In their initial six matches during the Weekend Classic, players will receive immediate prizes for every victory they secure. The remaining rewards will be handed out at the conclusion of the Weekend Classic event.

Here’s all we currently understand regarding the competitive play style. For a potent roster suited for this gameplay, take a peek at the top 30 most highly-rated players.
