If you think the soccer season is long, then the baseball season takes the biscuit. Teams need to play 162 games – and that’s excluding Spring Training and the Post-Season. Playing through a full season is downright exhausting, then, which is why MLB The Show introduced the March to October mode: a truncated, simplified alternative to Franchise which plunges you into “key moments”.
MLB The Show 21 will plot the return of this feature, although there will be some key improvements. For starters, you’ll have greater control of your roster, meaning you’ll be able to pull in personnel from the Minor Leagues in order to improve your squad. Looking at the menus, it looks like multi-season March to October campaigns may be possible this time around as well.
As always, this trailer featuring the franchise’s infamous puppets is a little light on details, but the key takeaway is that the mode is back with additional depth. Will you be taking your favourite team to the World Series? Step up to the plate in the comments section below.

why the hell they add that mode while they already have amazing franchise mode ??
@MichaelHawj Because it's fun to have the option to truncate the gigantic season. I enjoy this mode.
@get2sammyb is it better than Franchise Mode ? i haven't tried it out yet because i played Franchise Mode in MLB 20 on ps4 last year
@MichaelHawj It's just different. A full-length baseball season can be a daunting undertaking, so this lets you play the "key moments" in your team's season.
Silly boys rounders.
I love this mode and more roster control would make it even better. In addition to being able to bring players up from the minors, more control over trades would be cool too.
As much as I played March to October and didn't really hate it, it was just a means to accumulate team affinity points.
@get2sammyb @MichaelHawj Actually, I personally was really upset when they removed the full season mode years ago (and haven't bought The Show since they did). Not all of us like franchise mode, it's unnecessarily complicated.
