Features
These are the new features introduced to Road to the Show, and we expect they’ll get even better in MLB The Show 21.
Relationships
MLB The Show 20 introduced a new relationship system, where the choices players made would impact their relationships with teammates and opponents alike. This includes text conversations leading up to games and dialogue choices.
Depending on which personality type you chose, your player could get better based on the kinds of relationships they formed.
We expect this system will continue on to MLB The Show 21, and will hopefully include more options, more dialogue choices, and other expansions.

Personalities
MLB The Show introduced a brand new mechanic to Road to the Show in recent years, personalities.
RTTS players would choose two personality types when creating their character, and depending on these choices, would get different benefits and unlock different skill trees.
While players can eventually build up any of the personality skill trees in RTTS, this gave the career mode some flair that no other sports franchise has done before.
