College Football 26 will be officially launched on July 10, 2025, but two days later, some players will enter the game to experience it.

College Football 26 does a good job of recreating the players running, colliding and confronting on the field, and to build a strong team, you need excellent players. Let’s have a look at which players are most worth investing in CFB 26 coins?

No.1 98 OVR Jeremiah Smith Wide Receiver Ohio State Big Ten

• SPD: 95
• STR: 79
• AGI: 95
• COD: 93
• INJ: 96
• AWR: 91

Jeremiah Smith is a very good offensive player. He won 2024 CFP national champion and 2025 Rose Bowl Offensive MVP. He is definitely the most popular player at the moment, and he is also one of the cover players of this College Football 26.

As a wide receiver, Jeremiah Smith is not only strong, but also fast. Once he gets the ball, he can easily shake off other players. He is definitely the best wide receiver in the game, and it is worth investing your College Football 26 coins.

No.2 96 OVR Caleb Downs Free Safety Ohio State Big Ten

• SPD: 93
• STR: 72
• AGI: 95
• COD: 92
• INJ: 96
• AWR: 85

Caleb Downs, 2023 SEC Rookie of the Year, is very good at defense. He can tackle other players many times in the game and complete the defense. He is likely to be the most valuable player of Ohio State University.

As a defensive back, Caleb Downs’s strength attribute is not too high, but his other attributes are very good. This is the best defensive player you can find in College Football 26 at present.

No.3 95 OVR Anthony Hill Jr. Middle Linebacker Texas SEC

• SPD: 92
• STR: 84
• AGI: 88
• COD: 85
• INJ: 95
• AWR: 90

Anthony Hill Jr. is as dangerous as his team name. He was particularly good at tackling in high school. In his junior year, he completed 18 tackles for loss and 8 sacks.

Although Anthony Hill Jr. and Caleb Downs are both defensive players, they play different positions. Anthony Hill Jr. is stronger and is a beast on the court. The difference between him and Caleb Downs is that he is not agile enough.

No.4 95 OVR Jeremiyah Darnell Love Halfback Notre Dame Independent

• SPD: 95
• STR: 75
• AGI: 93
• COD: 92
• INJ: 93
• AWR: 88

Jeremiyah Darnell Love was ranked the fourth best, running back after graduating from high school. Running backs rely heavily on speed and agility. They need to avoid the opponent’s tackles and use speed to break through the opponent’s defense.

Jeremiyah Darnell Love is not a short and flexible running back. His 6-foot height and 214-pound weight make him run like a speeding truck. No one can stop him. What’s more valuable is that he also takes into account speed and agility. It is conceivable that he will be worth a lot of NCAA 26 coins.

No.5 95 OVR Ryan Williams Wide Receiver Alabama SEC

• SPD: 96
• STR: 55
• AGI: 99
• COD: 98
• INJ: 90
• AWR: 85

Ryan Williams is another cover player of College Football 26. As a wide receiver, Ryan Williams is both fast and agile. His lightweight gives him a flexible body. As long as he gets the ball, he can run like the wind and become the focus of the spotlight.

No.6 95 OVR T.J. Parker Left Defensive End Clemson ACC

• SPD: 85
• STR: 88
• AGI: 82
• COD: 74
• INJ: 95
• AWR: 95

T.J. Parker is very good at defense. He once completed 63 tackles and 12 sacks in his senior year. T.J. Parker is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 265 pounds. If he is blocked in the way, it is difficult for offensive players to knock him away. Basically, they can only rely on their flexible body to dodge, and agility can be regarded as Parker’s weakness.

No.7 94 OVR Dylan Stewart Right Defensive End South Carolina SEC

• SPD: 91
• STR: 78
• AGI: 91
• COD: 75
• INJ: 90
• AWR: 85

Dylan Stewart is taller (6 feet 5 inches) than T.J. Parker, but his weight (245 pounds) is slightly less than him, but this just makes him more agile. He currently has fewer tackles than T.J. Parker, but Dylan Stewart still has a lot of opportunities to grow.

No.8 94 OVR Jermod McCoy Cornerback Tennessee SEC

• SPD: 91
• STR: 67
• AGI: 97
• COD: 95
• INJ: 84
• AWR: 88

Jermod McCoy is very good at looking at opportunities in the corners of the field. He can play both as a corner and a receiver on the team. His flexibility allows him to intercept passes or tackle receivers who have just caught the ball.

No.9 94 OVR Jordyn Tyson Wide Receiver Arizona State Big 12

• SPD: 91
• STR: 67
• AGI: 93
• COD: 90
• INJ: 87
• AWR: 93

Jordyn Tyson is the top receiver of Arizona State University team and a star player of the team. He has completed many successful catches both in his senior year and in college. But he had been out for a long time because of injury. Now he is back again, and his performance is worth looking forward to.

No.10 94 OVR Kadyn Proctor Offensive Tackle Alabama SEC

• SPD: 67
• STR: 98
• AGI: 74
• COD: 59
• INJ: 95
• AWR: 87

Kadyn Proctor’s 6-foot-7 height and 360-pound weight make him a tank on the field for Alabama State University team. As an offensive tackle, his potent power makes it difficult for other players to confront him head-on. This is the only offensive tackle player in the top ten, and his value in EA CFB 26 will not be low.

The above are the top ten players in College Football 26. They represent the most powerful forces in the game. Choose your players and teams to win your victory in the game.

Whether it’s in a regular college game or a virtual college game, it’s exciting to see your favorite players or the players you control use super-fast speed to leave the opponent far behind.

Recently, EA Sports College Football 26, which is expected to be officially released on July 10, released the total score and various attribute statistics of each player in the game based on the current real-life results and performance.

There are many players with super-high speed ratings. If you want to create a starting lineup in the game that focuses on speed offense, the list of the fastest players introduced in this guide is something you absolutely cannot miss, which will help you save a lot of College Football 26 Coins on comparisons.

1. Nyck Harbor (WR) - South Carolina

• Speed ​​Rating: 99

First up is wide receiver Nyck Harbor, who had one of the highest speed ratings in the CFB 26 after an outstanding season in college football last fall.

Although it was a shame that he didn’t compete on the track for South Carolina this spring as he focused on improving his craft, he did finish fifth at the SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships last year.

Not only that, Harbor also set his best times at the Outdoor Track and Field Championships: 100 meters in 10.11 seconds and 200 meters in 20.20 seconds, earning him second-team All-American honors.

2. Barion Brown (WR) - LSU

• Speed ​​​​Rating: 99

Although Barion Brown’s running speed may not be as fast as Harbor in the real game, his excellent kick returns in previous games also make him have the highest speed rating. During his time at Kentucky, Brown accumulated 1,465 returns.

This is also the player with the most kickoff returns in Kentucky history. After joining LSU, he has achieved 5 times so far, including 3 times in the 2023 season, which surprised all fans and players.

Even according to some insiders, Barion Brown can run at a speed of 23 miles per hour in the open field, which may make him one of the most threatening wide receivers in SEC this year.

3. Rodrick Pleasant (CB) - UCLA

• Speed ​​​​​​Rating: 99

Compared to the first two players, Rodrick Pleasant has a longer career and has experienced more actual games. He previously played for UCLA and joined Oregon in April of this year after two seasons.

Although NCAA 26 still shows that this player belongs to UCLA, Pleasant will definitely improve his football skills in Oregon in the future. As for his super high speed rating, it is all due to his excellent track and field performance in high school.

During his student years, he set a record of 10.14 seconds in the 100 meters, which is still the best among California students. And in the 200-meter race on the same day, he also created his career best of 20.40 seconds, which also allowed him to win the first place in Masters Meet.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if you get this card first in EA CFB 26 and spend some NCAA 26 Coins to improve it, all of Pleasant’s achievements at UCLA this year will make your roster that much better.

4. Jordan Anthony (WR) - Arkansas

• Speed ​​​​​​​​Rating: 99

Similarly, Jordan Anthony is also a football player who has set many records on track and field. This past May, he won the 100 and 200 meters at SEC Championships, winning the 100 in 9.65 seconds and the 200 in 19.93 seconds.

In addition, Anthony achieved the best results of his career last season: 8 catches and 1 touchdown in 111 yards. At this stage, Anthony has entered his second season with Razorbacks, and all players and fans are looking forward to him using his super fast speed to win more games.

5. Julian Humphrey (CB) - Texas A&M

• Speed ​​​​​​​​Rating: 98

Julian Humphrey, who played for Georgia for three years, is probably the most experienced player on this list, so if you invest some EA CFB 26 coins to put him in your starting lineup, your team will probably achieve more wins with him.

This super tall (6-foot-1) cornerback joined Texas A&M this offseason and helped the team improve its speed, which is very rare in SEC.

In addition, he played a total of 11 games at Georgia last season, 10 of which were starts, and completed 10 tackles and 4 pass breakups. Please note that this is definitely not his ceiling, and there is a high possibility of more outstanding performances in the future.

6. King Mack (SS) - Penn State

• Speed ​​​​​​​​​​Rating: 98

Compared to the previous players who just entered their professional careers and Julian Humphrey, who has been stable in one club for three years, King Mack’s career is really very tortuous and bizarre: he played for Penn State as a freshman and transferred to Alabama after the season.

Later, King announced this year that he would return to Penn State and continue to play for the team that originally trained him. Although this is relatively normal for professional sports games, it is not conducive to the development of the player’s overall rating, because joining a new environment requires some running in with the current starting lineup.

In this case, the number of achievements and honors this player has is not so frequent, which affects his evaluation in College Football 26, a video game based on real player data. So if you can accept it, King’s super fast speed will allow you to complete more games, but it may take a long time to upgrade and improve him.

The above are the 6 players with the highest speed ratings based on the current real-life matches and the ratings provided by CFB 26. I believe that under your leadership you can use their strengths to cover up their weaknesses and achieve more victories faster. I wish you a happy game!

EA Sports College Football 26, which has been highly anticipated by many fans, has officially started its pre-release promotion. The first round of information is mainly about the game cover and release details. Let’s analyze some of the information that has been released.

Deluxe Edition

This year’s Deluxe Edition cover looks very similar to last year’s CFB 25 cover, both with multiplayer lineups, but on a larger scale and with more relevant information.

In addition to current players, the cover also invites many former players like Tim Tebow, Denard Robinson and well-known coaches Ryan Day, Marcus Freeman, Kirby Smart, etc., and also incorporates many team mascots, including Oregon Ducks, Georgia Bulldog, etc.

On the one hand, it may be to show the deep history, legendary figures, famous coaches and beloved mascots of College Football. On the other hand, does this indicate that CFB 26 will arrange for these coaches to return to the field?

If true, how to obtain these coaches? Is it obtained by completing tasks and using points, or directly using NCAA 26 Coins?

Does the integration of mascots mean that they will restart Mascot Mode?

However, many players are not interested in Mascot Mode, and the game is already very functional at this stage, so I don’t think EA CFB 26 will spend a lot of time and effort to integrate this mode into the game.

Standard Edition

The cover of the Standard Edition is basically the opposite of the Deluxe Edition. There are only two players who are considered being one of the most outstanding freshmen in College Football history. They are wide receiver Ryan Williams from Alabama and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith from Ohio State.

Both of them have shown amazing talent and performance in their respective games, and from the statement of CUT 26, we can guess that choosing these two players who are about to enter the sophomore as the cover characters of the Standard Edition may be to celebrate the arrival of the sophomore season.

Both cover players are considered having Hall of Fame careers, which may be the key factor in choosing them, especially Ryan Williams, who can play very well on the field at the age of 17.

Before this, fans speculated whether he would score 100 points or even higher in College Football 26. If he is really a strong player, many people will use CUT 26 Coins to get him after the release. Now that he is on the cover of Standard Edition, more people think that the speculation may be true.

Last year, the cover players of CFB 25 were all backs, focusing on showing jersey numbers and names, but this year, all the cover players are facing the camera, and the players can show their faces. EA CFB 26 has solved a series of problems such as name and portrait rights that once caused the series to stop, so it is now legal to use player images.

CFB 26 will release a series of new trailers today. Players around the world are eagerly looking forward to this important moment, hoping to get more detailed information about gameplay, new features, team rosters, in-depth modes, etc.

And EA Sports College Football 26 has been confirmed to be officially launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms on July 10, 2025. By then, players can use CFB 26 Coins to obtain players and immersively experience the real stadiums from 136 FBS-level universities and feel the authentic passion of college football.

The official release date of Madden NFL 26 has been confirmed as August 14, and players can officially start on August 11. There are still a few months before the start of the NFL regular season. During this offseason, not only the players need to step up their training, but Madden 26 development team also needs to step up their observations, understand these players, and arrange a suitable score for them in the game to reflect their growth and changes.

Although we don’t know which players will become the starters of Madden 26 yet, we can still predict the starting lineups at each position. This won’t be too difficult, because we already know the status of most players through the performance of the preseason. We can use this to understand which players may become influential figures after the game is released, and plan the use of Madden 26 Coins in advance.

10: Seahawks O-Line

• LT Charles Cross (83)
• RT Abraham Lucas (76)
• LG Gray Zabel (74)
• RG Anthony Bradford (73)
• RG Christian Haynes (72)
• LT Josh Jones (71)
• C Olusegun Oluwatimi (69)
• LG Bryce Cabeldue (68)
• LG Sataoa Laumea (66)
• LT Mason Richman (64)

Seahawks manager John Schneider is struggling to fill the void on his offensive line, which will only rank 31st at the end of the 2024 season. This year they got one of the best rookies in Gray Zabel, who is definitely one of the best on Seahawks O-Line and has enough potential to be worth investing in with Madden 26 MUT coins.

9: Cardinals Interior Defensive Lineman

• Calais Campbell (80)
• Dalvin Tomlinson (77)
• Walter Nolen (76)
• Justin Jones (72)
• Darius Robinson (72)
• Bilal Nichols (71)
• Dante Stills (70)
• L.J. Collier (68)

Arizona Cardinals used the break to strengthen their defense. They signed Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell and re-signed L.J. Collier. They selected 1.9-meter-tall, 137-kilogram rookie Walter Nolen III to join their team.

8: Most Packers’ Position Groups

Although Packers’ core personnel have been confirmed, their Interior Offensive Line, Defensive End, and Cornerback personnel are still in flux during the break. Not long ago, they accepted two rookies, Barryn Sorrell and Collin Oliver. They traded Preston Smith before the trade deadline, and now Kingsley Enagbare is confirmed to start, but there is still uncertainty about what positions these players will play.

WRs

• Jayden Reed (80)
• Romeo Doubs (79)
• Christian Watson (78)
• Matthew Golden (75)
• Dontayvion Wicks (75)
• Bo Melton (72)
• Savion Williams (70)
• Malik Heath (66)

OL

• RT Zach Tom (87)
• LG Elgton Jenkins (86)
• LT Rasheed Walker (80)
• RG Jordan Morgan (75)
• LG Aaron Banks (75)
• RG Sean Rhyan (73)
• RT Anthony Belton (73)
• C Jacob Monk (65)

CBs

• Jaire Alexander (91)
• Nate Hobbs (80)
• Keisean Nixon (76)
• Javon Bullard (75)
• Carrington Valentine (74)
• Kalen King (65)
• Micah Robinson (65)

7: Jaguars Cornerbacks

• Travis Hunter (80)
• Jourdan Lewis (80)
• Tyson Campbell (78)
• Jarrian Jones (73)
• Caleb Ransaw (70)
• Montaric Brown (70)

Travis Hunter will probably be WR. Campbell will take the other outside spot, while Lewis will be the nickel back.

6: Falcons Edge Rushers

• Jalon Walker (78)
• Leonard Floyd (77)
• Arnold Ebiketie (75)
• James Pearce (75)
• Bralen Trice (70)
• DeAngelo Malone (67)

Alexander The Falcons lost two games at the edge, and now they’ve added Jalon Walker to improve their pass rush. These top players have all remained at pretty much the same level, and it’s hard to pull away.

If you plan to invest in Falcons, I suggest you keep your coins for Jalon Walker, who is a 2025 rookie and won CFP National Championship with his team before joining Falcons.

5: Eagles Edge Rushers

• Nolan Smith (79)
• Jihaad Campbell (76)
• Bryce Huff (74)
• Joshua Uche (74)
• Azeez Ojulari (73)
• Jalyx Hunt (71)
• Antwuan Powell-Ryland (68)

Although Eagles lost Sweat, they also signed many talented players during the 2025 period, and the team also retained Baun and Van Sumeren.

The most watched player in Eagles is undoubtedly Nolan Smith, who won the 2021 and 2023 CFP National Championships and joined Eagles in 2023. But he just recovered from injury in February 2025, and his subsequent performance is hard to predict.

4: Titans Tight Ends

• Chigoziem Okonkwo (74)
• Gunnar Helm (70)
• Josh Whyle (69)

The current ranking of Titans’ tight ends is Chigoziem Okonkwo, Josh Whyle, Gunnar Helm, David Martin-Robinson. Chigoziem Okonkwo is not in good shape at the moment, and Josh Whyle may be ranked first.

3: Bills WR Room

• Khalil Shakir (82)
• Joshua Palmer (78)
• Elijah Moore (77)
• Curtis Samuel (77)
• Keon Coleman (76)

Wide receiver Joshua Palmer signed a contract with Bills on March 13. Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer and Keon Coleman are all popular starting candidates for Bills.

2: Giants Quarterback Room

• Russell Wilson (78)
• Jameis Winston (72)
• Jaxson Dart (71)
• Tommy Devito (61)

The three newcomers of Giants need to learn and adapt to the system of the new team. If they cannot adapt to the team, then Tommy Devito, the only one who understands this system, will have to play.

1: Browns Quarterback Room

• Joe Flacco (71)
• Dillon Gabriel (69)
• Kenny Pickett (67)
• Shedeur Sanders (67)

With Deshaun Watson out for the season, Browns’ quarterback lineup is in a mess, and it has become the biggest suspense in the final stage of the offseason.

Joe Flacco is 41 years old, but he may be the most stable choice to start. The next player to play is Dillon Gabriel, who won every game in college.

Kenny Pickett is a player that Browns traded for in the early offseason, and the Browns have high hopes for him.

There is still some time before the regular season begins and before Madden NFL 26 is released. Each team will gradually confirm the starting lineup for each position, and I believe Madden 26 development team will give them a reasonable overall rating.

MLB The Show 25 released Update 9 on April 23. This patch not only maintains the original advantages of this baseball sim but also focuses on optimizing Diamond Dynasty trading market rules, fixing some bugs, and bringing more adjustments to the gameplay, hoping to give players a better gaming experience.

MLB The Show 25 has been widely welcomed by fans since its official release on March 18. In order to maintain the fun of the game, the developer has also been constantly updating it, and the frequency is basically maintained once a week. Although Update 9 will not fundamentally change the game content, it will greatly improve the gaming experience. This is a small but significant upgrade, but it is also the key to MLB The Show 25 becoming the best work in the series so far. Although it is still a little lacking in some places, its pace of progress has never stopped.

Let’s take a look at the specific changes:

Diamond Dynasty

The focus of this update is the changes to Diamond Dynasty. The developer has increased the trading order limit for 90-95 OVR player items from 500,000 to 750,000, aiming to stimulate asset flow between players by relaxing the trading restrictions on high-value cards.

This adjustment can not only reflect the true market value of elite-tier cards but also create more flexible trading space for players, but it also means that players need to be more active in accumulating MLB 25 Stubs in different ways to obtain some popular elite-tier cards. Fortunately, there are many ways for MLB The Show 25 players to earn a lot of Stubs, so there is no need to worry too much about this adjustment putting more pressure on the player’s economy in the game for the time being.

Gameplay optimization

This update focuses on fixing the logic judgment of the guess pitch feature. Correctly guessed pitches can now fall into the target area more stable, which will significantly increase the space for players to deal with submarines and sidearm pitchers.

Regarding some menu bugs that have been bothering players, Update 9 solves an issue with abnormal bullpen menu access in online play. It also fixes the issue where the pause menu would remain on the screen when the game was running in the background. At the same time, the stats display format of the pause menu has been optimized, simplifying the original PA - AVG - RBI - H - HR to a more intuitive PA - AVG - HR - RBI - SB. Input issues in the pause menu have also been resolved.

Other Modes

Road to the Show mode has ushered in three key fixes. The first is that the difficulty setting abnormality has been completely resolved, and players no longer have to face the problem that low difficulty settings occasionally run at high difficulty. The second is that the two-way player offseason crash error has been fixed. When a player is converted from a two-way player, the player cards will now display the correct position. Last but not least, the issue of players not being included in the postseason roster in playoffs no longer exists.

Franchise improves salary calculations, and player salaries after mid-season trades are now proportionally included in the team budget, a change that significantly improves the realism of the in-game economy.

Meanwhile, Storylines mode has become more stable, preventing players from crashing when entering the exhibition game after playing Storylines. Update 9 fixes bugs in multiple modes, providing a better environment for players to immerse themselves in baseball video games.

Visual Effects

• This update continues MLB The Show 25’s obsessive pursuit of detail and has received many fine-tuning adjustments.
• Citi Field has completed missing retired numbers.
• Target Field’s "Win! Twins!" neon lights now respond correctly to nighttime events.
• T-Mobile Park has fixed Mariners flags and banners.
• Los Angeles Dodgers 2024 World Series Gold uniforms have been added to the game.

In addition, Update 9 also updates the player models of Jackson Rutledge and Mason Englert, fixes various commentary bugs, and has more update details. Players can check the official account.

Although some players think that this type of regular update lacks surprises, it is undeniable that it is precisely because MLB The Show 25 is constantly optimizing the content of the game through updates that it can stand out from similar games. We hope that the developer can maintain the status quo and optimize the details without changing the content of the game. This is enough. After all, what players need is not a complete innovation, but a better gaming experience.

As more information about Switch 2 is leaked, players find that it still lacks some sports games.Perhaps this premier baseball sim will be able to be played on Switch 2 in the future, which will just meet the wishes of fans.

Team of the Season, one of the three major promotions held every year, is finally here. The latest trailer for FUT 25 showcases outstanding players from the world’s top football leagues during the previous season.

After a long voting process, 33 cards will be selected for Ultimate TOTS. These cards are expected to be released on Friday, June 6th.

What Is Team of The Season?

Team of the Season is one of the three major promotions held every year in EA Sports FC series, which aims to select the best players in the previous season and give them a boost.

The voting method this time differs from FC 24. This time, the voting is divided into different leagues. 11 players will be voted by fans in each league. The winning players will be added to the game as TOTS cards.

TOTS cards have a unique light blue and gold design, and the player’s various statistics and overall ratings will receive amazing improvements. Most of them will become one of the most powerful players in FC 25.

As the promotion progresses, EA Sports usually holds an additional Ultimate TOTS voting event, which brings together the best performing players from all leagues into an elite lineup, Ultimate TOTS.

This final lineup will be released at the end of TOTS event, which is expected to be on June 6. Players can unlock the players in it for a limited time, which also marks the end of voting for each league.

All TOTS cards can be drawn through gift packs after they are released, giving lucky players the opportunity to add high-value new members to their team. However, you need to prepare enough FUT 25 Coins.

Ultimate Team Of The Season Prediction

Defenders

• Alisson (95 Overall Rating): Goalkeepers, Brazil, Liverpool
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (95 Overall Rating): Right Back, England, Liverpool
• Virgil van Dijk (97 Overall Rating): Center Back, Netherlands, Liverpool
• Theo Hernandez (95 Overall Rating): Left Back, France, AC Milan

Liverpool’s defensive strength is unquestionable. After Arne Slot took over the team left by the previous coach, he relied on careful rotation and tactics, as well as improving the versatility of the players to make up for the lack of depth in some positions. Under his guidance, the players once again played lively and posed an enormous threat to Manchester City and Arsenal.

Liverpool’s three players on the defensive line are the best in the team. Alisson missed a few games because of injury, otherwise his rating might be higher. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are out of a contract in the summer of 2025, but they have shown great professionalism.

Theo Hernandez is the only AC Milan player of the four players, but he is considered a Meta player and will almost certainly play in Ultimate TOTS.

Midfielders

• Jude Bellingham (96 Overall Rating): CM, England, Real Madrid
• Florian Wirtz (96 Overall Rating): CM, Germany, Leverkusen
• Pedri (95 Overall Rating): CAM, Spain, Barcelona

This season’s midfielders are technically proficient, but not defensively. Florian Wirtz, Pedri and Jude Bellingham have all shown amazing skills in dribbling, passing and dribbling past opponents.

Jude Bellingham didn’t show his best form last season, but he still contributed 15 goals.

Attackers

• Mohamed Salah (98 Overall Rating): RW, Egypt, Liverpool
• Harry Kane (98 Overall Rating): ST, England, Bayern Munich
• Kylian Mbappé (97 Overall Rating): ST, France, Real Madrid
• Vinicius Junior (97 Overall Rating): LW, Brazil, Real Madrid

It is difficult to pick the best attackers, as there were many very good forwards in the last season. The above four players are all strong contenders for this year’s Ballon d’Or, so they all have the potential to score high in TOTS. Each player’s value may be above one million coins.

Substitutes

1. Jan Oblak (95 Overall Rating): GK, Slovenia, Atletico Madrid
2. William Saliba (95 Overall Rating): CB, France, Arsenal
3. Gabriel (95 Overall Rating): CB, Brazil, Arsenal
4. Antonio Rudiger (94 Overall Rating): CB, Germany, Real Madrid
5. Lucy Bronze (94 Overall Rating): RB, England, Chelsea
6. Katie McCabe (94 Overall Rating): LB, Ireland, Arsenal
7. Aitana Bonmati (97 Overall Rating): CM, Spain, Barcelona
8. Alexia Putellas (97 Overall Rating): CM, Spain, Barcelona
9. Nicolo Barella (94 Overall Rating): CM, Italy, Inter Milan
10. Alexis Mac Allister (95 Overall Rating): CM, Argentina, Liverpool
11. Cole Palmer (96 Overall Rating): CAM, England, Chelsea
12. Jamal Musiala (96 Overall Rating): CAM, Germany, Bayern Munich
13. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (95 Overall Rating): LW, Georgia, Paris Saint-Germain
14. Rafael Leao (98 Overall Rating): LW, Portugal, AC Milan
15. Lionel Messi (95 Overall Rating): RW, Argentina, Inter Miami
16. Caroline Graham Hansen (96 Overall Rating): RW, Norway, Barcelona
17. Lamine Yamal (97 Overall Rating): RW, Spain, Barcelona
18. Ousmane Dembele (96 Overall Rating): RW, France, Paris Saint-Germain
19. Cristiano Ronaldo (97 Overall Rating): ST, Portugal, Nasr
20. Robert Lewandowski (95 Overall Rating): ST, Poland, Barcelona
21. Lautaro Martinez (96 Overall Rating): ST, Argentina, Inter Milan
22. Erling Haaland (97 Overall Rating): ST, Norway, Manchester City

Ultimate Team of the Season has 33 players. Besides the 11 players mentioned above, there are 22 players. The above list is the remaining 22 players.

There are too many strong and outstanding players, so this list will not be too accurate, but they all have a high probability of being on the list. If there is a player you support, go to the voting website to cast your precious vote and keep your coins for him or her.

In MLB The Show 25, there are many pitches, and some of them are effective and are the key to winning. Therefore, it is crucial for both new and old players to master the most effective pitches.

This game provides a wealth of pitches, each with its own unique value. Here are five best pitches to master this season, which can help you gain an advantage in Diamond Dynasty.

1. Sinker

If you pay attention, you should be able to find a phenomenon in the player community, that is, the higher level of players, the more they rely on sinkers. This trend can only prove one thing-Inside Sinker has always been one of the strongest pitches. If the pitch is thrown in the right direction, the opposing batter should be prepared because it is very difficult to catch.

The advantage of the sinker is its downward trajectory, especially when it is aimed at the inside of batter, it will be difficult for the opponent to hit the ball. Even if it barely touches, it is often difficult to exert real power. This is especially important in Diamond Dynasty, because the lineup is usually full of power hitters, such as Babe Ruth, Juan Soto, and Mark McGwire, whose disadvantage is that they are not fast. The essence of Sinker is a fastball, so it just suppresses them.

In addition, Sinker works better when paired with high-speed fastballs and sliders. Since they move in opposite directions, batters are easily confused. If you want to save some MLB The Show 25 Stubs in the game, it is definitely a wise move to invest in a few pitchers who are good at Sinker.

2. Screwball

Screwball, also known as reverse curve, is an extremely unique pitching method, but it can work wonders in the game.

Unlike ordinary breaking balls, Screwball moves in the opposite direction. At first it looks like an ordinary fastball, but at the last moment it will suddenly change direction, catching people off guard.

While screwball can cause injury in real life, in MLB 25, everything is virtual, so you can throw as many Screwballs as you want.

Legendary pitchers Fernando Valenzuela and Devin Williams are both good at using screwball. If you can master this pitch, it will become the most deceptive of all your pitches and bring you more wins.

3. Sweeper

Sweeper is the most watched pitch in real baseball matches recently, and now players can also reproduce it in MLB The Show 25. It is a slower version of the slider, but the difference is that it can sweep the plate by moving horizontally, making it difficult for batter to catch it.

Many top pitchers have used screwball, but the most impressive one is Dodgers phenom Shohei Ohtani, who can even hit 20 inches of break.

As I said above, Sweeper is a type of slider, so the two can be used perfectly together. At the same time, its initial trajectory is very similar to that of fastball, so it can also confuse the opponent through reasonable cooperation. If you like this feeling of playing tricks on people, Sweeper is definitely worth a try.

4. Fastball

As you can see, I have mentioned fastball many times above. This is because fastball is the soul of baseball, both in reality and in games. Many pitches are just different versions of it, such as Sinker. No matter how many starters you choose, players who are good at fastball will always give you a super high winning rate.

Fastball is not only the most accurate pitch but also a relatively easy pitch to master, which is very suitable for novice players. It is the basis of many tunnels. The high-thrown fastball can make the batter swing empty, while Inside Sinker can directly suppress the opponent. Even if the opponent predicts fastball, it is still one of the most difficult pitches to deal with.

5. Circle Change

It is well known that the combo of Fastball and Changeup is the most classic and best combo in baseball history. Circle Change is more exaggerated than ordinary Changeup, and it can more effectively disrupt the opponent’s batting rhythm.

However, Circle Change requires higher operation. In Pinpoint Pitching, its motion is a circle, and once a mistake is made, it may cause an irreversible regretful situation. Therefore, many old players prefer traditional Changeup. But my suggestion is that you practice both and find the style that suits you best.

In the virtual stadium of MLB The Show 25, the diversity of pitches strategies makes every match full of variables. Whether it is relying on the speed suppression of sinker or using sweeper to make misjudgment, the key is to flexibly adjust your pitches according to the opponent’s weaknesses.

In short, mastering the above five pitches can better help you win more victories!

Chicago White Sox just had their worst season in history and are still performing very poorly in 2025 season, making it difficult for them to have a chance to win. After they finished last season with a miserable 41-121 record, White Sox were even labeled as the weakest team in history.

But in MLB 25's Franchise Mode, players who like challenges will get a chance to rewrite history-through precise lineup deployment and long-term strategic planning, let this sleeping giant regain its glory.

Unlike the desperate situation in reality, White Sox in the game has a unique advantage of digital reconstruction. More importantly, players can think outside the box and deploy talents across time and space. This guide will reveal how to turn this bottom-rated team into a championship contender through excellent strategy.

Player Screening

Any successful team reconstruction is based on an accurate assessment of the player's existing assets. Before you start rebuilding, the first thing you need to do is to understand which players are on your roster and select players according to your own situation.

This rebuild should focus on retaining potential players under 30 years old, who are rated A or B. According to the system data, the following 6 players in White Sox lineup best meet the above retention criteria:

Core players

• CF Luis Robert Jr
• CP Penn Murfee
• SP Davis Martin
• RF Mike Tauchman
• CF Michael A. Taylor
• SP Bryse Wilson

The most valuable player is Luis Robert Jr. He is the player who is most worthy of players to build a lineup around, and his value is much higher than we expected. Because he is very stable on both offense and defense.

Robert is Potential B, OVR 77, and is still young enough. Therefore, he is a player who is worth focusing on and does not need to spend a lot of MLB 25 Stubs.

Retained Players

• SP Bryse Wilson
• SP Drew Thorpe
• SS Colson Montgomery
• C Kyle Teel
• SP Noah Schultz

These players are also young and have potential. Bryse Wilson and Drew Thorpe's OVR are both over 70, and both have Potential B. Youth is the basis for their continued development, enough for players to build a good roster around them in the next two to three years.

In addition, Drew Thorpe, Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel and Noah Schultz are all developing their skills in the minor leagues. The first three can directly become starters right off the bat due to their outstanding performance and strong strength. Noah Schultz may need to continue to train in minor leagues for another year, but should also be elevated in 2026 season.

Improved Positions

In the first two years of reconstruction, players will find that they urgently need to improve four positions, namely Left Fielder, Third Baseman, Catcher and Relief Pitcher.

• Left Fielder

Left Fielder has Andrew Benintendi, who has 68 overall and B potential. For him, he has not had enough time to develop, but he is still a starter with great potential.

In addition, there is Alex Verdugo, a transitional candidate, whose Contact 78 and Clutch 82 make him more suitable for the second batter.

• Third Baseman

In terms of Third Baseman, we have players like Bobby Dalbec and Josh Rojas who can play, but they are both nearly 30 years old, and it is difficult to see room for improvement in their overall performance at present, and there is no development potential. They may play until 2025 at most, and the next step is to find a suitable young player to replace them.

• Catcher

Personally, I think the most suitable player for this position is Teel, who is only 23 years old. Players can promote him and let him play. As the most worthwhile catcher rookie in this game, his initial value of Defensive Ability is over 70. If players are willing to spend energy on him, he can grow into a better catcher within two years.

Besides him, there are Matt Thaiss and Korey Lee to choose from. They are both 66 overall, which is enough to make them both as backups. But if Teel does not make progress as we expect, then this vacancy is worth looking for the right person to fill in the 2026 free agency. It is recommended that players can prepare in advance - that is, accumulate MLB 25 Stubs.

• Relief Pitcher

Murfee is the only relief pitcher with an overall of more than 70. The next best choice is 29-year-old potential player James Karinchak and Cam Boose with an overall of 66. However, the number of options is too small, and I personally recommend that players seek the help of free agents to solve this problem.

Cultivate Esports Thinking

For players who are interested in participating in MLB The Show 25 esports games, I do not recommend you to use White Sox players. But the process of rebuilding White Sox does cultivate your unique lineup construction ability.

Here are three pro-level suggestions:

1. If you need to play White Sox players, I prefer Robert and Murfee because, as I said above, they are the best players on the team.
2. In Diamond Dynasty mode, cost-effective blue cards with OVR 75-80 tend to have more tactical value than high OVR cards. For example, Luis Robert Jr.'s Live Series card, its Speed attribute makes it a bunt cheese nemesis.
3. The most important point is that if you are sure to play their players in the game, please know the history of the team in advance, which will help you a lot.

However, it is well known that Chicago White Sox are unlikely to make postseason with its current roster. They don't have enough strength to achieve this goal, so I don't expect them to perform well in 2025 season. But at least it can introduce enough young players to prepare for future success.

The secret to winning Diamond Dynasty mode for free lies in these Team Affinity Cards. While working for these cards isn't fun, the rewards are worth the effort. We've selected the 10 most strategically valuable Team Affinity Cards based on current data and actual performance - please note that the following recommendations are ranked in no particular order.

1. Justin Martinez (Arizona Diamondbacks)

When bullpens depth was the biggest pain point in the early version, this Dominican pitcher's Sinker-Slider-Forkball combination was a timely relief. In particular, finding a quality reliever who can suppress the opposing hitter in the clutch will be the key to your continued success. Justin Martinez is a great tool - he has an absolute advantage in suppressing right-handed hitters and can make opponents frequently miss in the clutch.

2. Rollie Fingers (Milwaukee Brewers)

The iconic mustache pitcher returns with his historic pitch mix. Not only does Fingers have one of the strongest pitch combinations a relief pitcher can have, but his unconventional delivery and high pitch clutch rating make him a must-have for bullpens. He combines the vertical displacement of the sinker with the forkball, which is a challenge for both righty and lefty bats. Coupled with his stopper quirk, Rollie Fingers can freeze any crisis in an instant.

3. Andrew Miller (Cleveland Guardians)

Yes, this is another relief pitcher. But Andrew Miller has long been one of the best relief pitchers in MLB. This left-handed freak continues his dominance in reality - 117 Clutch rating with a unique low elbow delivery mechanism. In addition, his shocking sinker-slider-fastball combo also makes him a nightmare for left-handed hitters. Despite the low Control, it's not a big deal when Swings & Misses are the norm.

4. Babe Ruth (New York Yankees)

As one of the best power hitters in baseball history, it's impossible not to include Babe Ruth on this list. Babe's 85-rated card has strange hitting attributes, but this anomaly can be used as an advantage. Better Contact with left-handed pitching, and better Power against right-handed pitching, combined with his hitting quirks, give him the best hitting advantage in the game. It also makes this legendary DH with first base as a secondary position the core of the early lineup.

5. George Brett (Kansas City Royals)

As a textbook contact hitter, Brett can hit hits through the defense and is one of the most consistent hitters of all time. As a platoon third baseman, although his defensive stats are mediocre, his 47 speed allows him to save the day even when facing marginal balls. Like Ruth, Brett also has the best hitting quirks in the game, making him an ideal candidate for a platoon third baseman or DH.

6. Frank Thomas (Chicago White Sox)

In a meta dominated by left-handed sluggers, Big Hurt‘s right-handed hitting advantage is invaluable. If your lineup is in desperate need of a right-handed slugger, Frank Thomas is an excellent choice. From a power perspective, The Big Hurt is certainly more effective against left-handed pitchers, but his amazing balanced hitting attributes make him very solid against any pitcher. Coupled with Thomas's Dead Red, Breaking Ball Hitter, Fighter, First-Pitch Hitter and other skills, he is the ultimate answer to cracking the left-handed starting position.

7. Hank Thompson (San Francisco Giants)

This is a versatile player who can defend the third baseman, second base and either corner outfield position. He is good at hitting fastballs and driving in runs. Although his power attribute is average, his 73 Speed ​​and most of his fielding attributes over 80 are enough to build his unique value. A player like Hank Thompson who is proficient in everything can save us time and effort in the game.

8. Max Muncy (Los Angeles Dodgers)

Max Muncy is a great power hitter. His violent output of Power double 100+ and his solid defensive attributes make him a brilliant choice for a platoon bat, because he can hit a kill at any time! In addition, he can also provide a small captain's help for Dodgers, whose total score is less than ​​91, bringing more possibilities for players to match the lineup.

9. Craig Biggio (Houston Astros)

When most catchers are still trapped in bulky defensive positioning, Biggio breaks the rules with 88 Speed ​​and multi-position adaptability. He can play catcher and corner outfield, and is one of the stronger hitters in Team Affinity. While his defensive stats are a bit subpar and a little underwhelming, with his 88 speed, he should have enough power to make up for them in the outfield. His Blocking stats are a little lackluster, but his 89 Contact/85 Clutch combo is more than enough to make up for the occasional lapse on defense. If you keep him in the lineup and use MLB The Show 25 Stubs to get him to the next level, he'll be a force to be reckoned with.

10. Kyle Schwarber (Philadelphia Phillies)

Kyle Schwarber is a lefty slugger. This DH has a lot of power, which, combined with his Table Setter quirk, makes him an ideal early lineup option. Once the game enters Parallel 3 phase, his Clutch will break the 80 mark, meaning he can also be a great fourth batter.

It's important to note that every team in Team Affinity is amazing and has its unique characteristics, so players not mentioned don't necessarily mean they're bad. Anyway, log in to MLB The Show 25 now and build your lineup with these TA stars!

As the best baseball game at present, MLB The Show 25 has a lot of content worth exploring. Among them, franchise mode not only allows you to understand how to manage and operate a team, but also allows you to understand which players have the most potential.

In franchise mode, players can view the top 100 players in the game. The ranking is based on their overall score, potential score attributes, age, etc. In franchise mode, you don’t need MLB The Show 25 Stubs to hire players. You need to negotiate with them based on their strength and give them a reasonable salary. Some free agents will even come to you to negotiate.

Those players who have been famous for a long time are indeed powerful, but discovering new generation players is the real fun of this mode. Here are the best rookie prospects in MLB 25 for you.

1. Roki Sasaki, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers

Right-handed pitcher Sasaki is 192cm tall and pitches with a three-quarter (slant shoulder) pitching mechanism. He averages 158.3km/h (2022 season) and the fastest 165km/h with four-seam line speedballs and forkballs as the main axis of his pitching, plus some sliders and curveballs. Among them, the forkball is considered being the most powerful changeup in his hands. The four-seam line speedball has a good tail power, and the highest speed measured in actual combat exceeds 2,600rpm.

Roki Sasaki entered the game with 86 points. His speed and breakthrough attributes are 99 points, and his endurance attribute is 89 points. He is a very promising pitcher.

2. Roman Anthony, CF, Boston Red Sox

Roman Anthony is only 20 years old this year, but he was selected as the top rookie in the 2022 MLB draft, and in 2023, he was recognized as Red Sox’s minor league hitter of the year. Although his total score is only 67 points at present, his potential is 94 points. His speed, arm and defensive ability are all high. Give him some time and he can become the best starting pitcher of Red Sox.

3. Walker Jenkins, RF, Minnesota Twins

Walker Jenkins is also only 20 years old. He is currently playing as an outfielder for Minnesota Twins. Although his total score is lower than Roman Anthony’s, only 61. But his potential total score is as high as 90. Obviously, Walker Jenkins is not good at defense, his defense score is only 60 points. Walker Jenkins needs to grow in the minor leagues for a while.

4. Kristian Campbell, 2B, Boston Red Sox

You may not have heard of this rookie. Kristian Campbell was a relatively unknown fourth-round draft pick in 2023, but in 2025, he became Red Sox’s starter. Because Red Sox’s batting development team redesigned Kristian Campbell’s batting technique. This helped him increase his batting speed and hit the ball more in the air, making him play a miraculous role in the game.

Although Kristian Campbell’s current rating is only 66, he is obviously the kind of player who can continue to improve. Players who play Boston Red Sox may be able to witness him grow into a star player.

5. Dylan Crews, RF, Washington Nationals

Dylan Crews was born in 2002 and is more mature than the above players, but he is still considered a promising rookie player. His Dylan Crews living card has a total rating of 76 points and a potential of 90 points. He is already a strong outfielder. He has Vision score of 60 and Reaction of 99. Even in Diamond Dynasty mode, Dylan Crews is still a good player, and you need about 230 MLB The Show 25 Stubs to add him to the team.

6. Jackson Jobe, SP, Detroit Tigers

Jackson Jobe is only 22 years old and is considered being the future ace pitcher of Detroit team. His total rating is 69. Jackson Jobe is very fast, with a Velocity attribute of 89 and a Break attribute of 81. Jackson Jobe may become the team’s starting pitcher. If you are willing to give the player some time to grow, he will shine in your team.

7. Andrew Painter, SP, Philadelphia Phillies

Painter’s total rating is 68 and his potential rating is 87, which is slightly less than the above players, but he has a Break rating of 72 and a Velocity rating of 75, which also shows that he is a good pitcher and his rating is constantly improving.

8. Max Clark, CF, Detroit Tigers

Max Clark is a 20-year-old rookie for Tigers. His overall rating is only 59. Although he is a little behind Jackson Jobe, he is very good at defense, which makes him a worthy investment in the future.

9. Travis Bazzana, 2B, Cleveland Guardians

2024 Major League Baseball draft, Travis Bazzana, has an overall rating of 65 and an overall potential of 91. He has high potential, but is not good at speed. Travis Bazzana’s hitting performance is the best among all rookies.

Although his overall rating is not high, Travis Bazzana’s Pipeline card is currently hot, and you need more than 8,000 stubs to get his Pipeline card.

10. Sebastian Walcott, SS, Texas Rangers

Sebastian Walcott is 18 years old this year and is the youngest player in this ranking. His overall rating is only 56, but his potential is as high as 85. You need to give Sebastian Walcott 2-3 years to see his growth and he will become the main force of the team.

The above are the most promising rookie prospects in MLB 25. They have unlimited potential. After a period of training, they will become stars in the major leagues.
