For those new to MLB The Show 25, Moments are where players must meet certain objectives, either in an inning or game, depending on the Moment. All are on Veteran difficulty for this one, doable for many.

As for Showdown, players must score runs to defeat the mini-bosses before facing the big boss, Chase Dollander. None of the pitchers should be difficult to take down, especially since the difficulty for it is low. However, Noah Schultz may not be easy for some. Schultz comes up before the final boss.

Upon completion of the Showdown, players will be awarded with a Gold Spring Breakout Choice Pack. MLB The Show players can choose from one of four players (Nimmala, Pratt, Horton, B. Montgomery), who can then be used to complete this program.
