The 3rd Inning XP Reward Path will bring a slew of new rewards, including new Cornerstone Series players for you to use in new Cornerstone Programs. The Spotlight Series Programs and Packs return as we focus on the best performances in the month of May.

Last, but definitely not least, we’ve got a special something to celebrate Mother’s Day headed your way. All of this and more is headed your way in MLB The Show 25.

Upcoming changes to Weekend Classic 2 

The team has been hard at work processing and iterating on the community’s feedback in preparation for the second Weekend Classic, opening on May 9th.  

Matchmaking:  

In Weekend Classic 2, players will only be matched with others in their league, unless they reach the maximum queue time — at which point they may be bumped up or down one division. 

Difficulty: 

Difficulties will be locked once players are placed in a league, regardless of the player or opponent’s current ELO. So, for the entire Weekend Classic, players should compete on the same difficulty — unless queue times become too long, as mentioned earlier. 

Leaderboards: 

Players will be correctly placed into a 100-player leaderboard at the start, and that leaderboard remains the same for the entire duration. 

Rating: 

The rating changes used to rank the leaderboard will now correctly add rating for wins and subtract rating for losses. 

Also note: If players haven’t played a ranked game yet in season 2, they will be placed in Bronze 1. 

We hope you enjoy the changes made to Weekend Classic. We are committed to refining the mode with community input in mind to keep the competition engaging and fair. Thank you for all your support.

Storylines: The Negro Leagues – Season 3 Drop 3

Storylines: The Negro Leagues – Season 3 Drop 3, available today, brings 3 Hall of Fame Negro League Legends James “Biz” Mackey, William “Judy” Johnson, and Monford “Monte” Irvin to MLB The Show 25.

Regarded as the Negro Leagues’ premiere catcher throughout the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, James “Biz” Mackey’s defense and throwing arm were rivaled only by his batting capabilities which helped to cement him as one of the Negro League’s all-time leaders in total bases, RBI, and slugging percentage. In his 32-year career in the Negro Leagues, Biz played and coached for such notable teams as the Hilldale Daisies, Pittsburgh Crawfords, and Newark Eagles.

Despite a slight frame and limited power at the plate, William “Judy” Johnson seemed to consistently deliver in the clutch when his teams needed it the most. As a 3rd baseman, Johnson was regarded as one of the best in Negro League’s history and played on one of the greatest teams in baseball history, the 1935 Pittsburgh Crawfords. The Hilldale Daisies and Homestead Grays also benefited from Judy’s talents during his 17-season spanning career as a player with the Negro Leagues.

Before making the leap from the Negro Leagues to the MLB, Monford “Monte” Irvin was a 5-tool superstar in the Negro Leagues with Newark – leading the Eagles to a Negro Leagues World Series championship in 1946. Although Irvin was 30-years-old when he finally got his chance to play Major League Baseball in 1949, “Monte” rose to the occasion, becoming the first Black player to lead the National League in RBIs in 1951 and helping the New York Giants claim the 1954 World Series.

Experience the historic careers of James “Biz” Mackey, William “Judy” Johnson, and Monford “Monte” Irvin in Storylines: The Negro Leagues – Season 3 Drop 3 only available in MLB The Show 25.

Twitch Drops are one of the easiest and most fun ways to earn free packs in MLB The Show 25—all you have to do is watch MLB The Show 25 live on Twitch that have Drops Enabled. When you tune into a stream with Drops Enabled, you’ll automatically start earning progress toward Twitch Packs, which include in-game content you can use to build your squad. It’s a great excuse to catch your favorite creators in action, check out new modes, or just vibe with the MLB The Show community. Whether you’re grinding Ranked or flipping cards in the Market, every pack helps—and Twitch Drops are an awesome way to add more to your lineup just by watching. 

Here’s how to get started:

1. Create an MLB The Show Account at mlbthe.show/account
2. Link your gaming platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch)
3. Connect your Twitch account to your MLB The Show Account

Once your accounts are linked, head to Twitch and look for MLB The Show 25 streams with “Drops Enabled”—you’ll see a label on the stream that lets you know Drops are active. Watch any of those streams and you’ll start earning.

We hope you’ve been enjoying Twitch Drops throughout the season—during the Feature Premieres, the Dev Tournament, and The Show LIVE! While you can always expect Drops during a San Diego Studio stream, we’re not going live this weekend… so we figured, why not turn on Drops for All and let the whole community join in?

So starting Friday, April 25 at 12 PM PT, any streamer who has their Twitch account linked will automatically have Drops Enabled on their stream when MLB The Show 25 is set as the game category. If you’re a fan, that means you can earn Twitch Packs just by watching any of those streams all weekend long.

On top of PS5 Tournaments and Celebration Series, Bullpen Bash is here to stay. Bullpen Bash kicks off this year’s cross-platform events’ schedule with a $15,000 prize pool, in addition to the over $100,000 in cash prizes available in the Championship Series. We’ve also made some critical changes to Bullpen Bash based on player feedback, including a new Ladder format and roster restrictions. So be sure to read on before you step up to the plate and start swinging for the fences!

For a refresher on PS5 Tournaments, check out our previous blog post here.

Keep reading to find out more about everything else!

Bullpen Bash

Bullpen Bash is our largest community event ever, offering up to $15,000 in cash prizes. We’ve even doubled the number of players qualified to compete in the Playoffs from 8 to the top 16!

A mini version of the Summer and Fall Circuits, Bullpen Bash is an event for anyone to participate in and test their mettle — and maybe some sneaky cards — before the start of the pro series. MLB The Show 25 Bullpen Bash is open to all supported consoles.

Bullpen Bash is also an opportunity for us to trial new formats.  This year, we are using a Ladder Format on the new FACEIT Tournament page. We’ll have one qualifier weekend and one playoff weekend. On qualifier weekends, players will have designated time windows over two days to compete in 3-inning games on Legend difficulty. They’ll be able to queue whenever during that time frame, making it easier to jump into a match with minimal wait times.  A leaderboard will be updated in real time with each player’s win/loss record.

At the end of the qualifier weekend, the top 64 players from the leaderboard will advance to a single-elimination playoff weekend. Along with our new ladder format, we are bringing back strategy with roster restrictions returning. Players will need to choose their roster lineups more carefully when competing in our tournaments.

Roster Restrictions

Roster Restrictions this year for Qualifiers and Playoff weekend. Here’s a breakdown below:

Position Players:

Starting Pitchers Limit:

Bullpen Limit:

Pitcher Energy Carryover will also return in Bo3/Bo5 matches during Playoff Weekends.

We want to emphasize that with all of these changes affecting Bullpen Bash, we’d like our players to help provide their feedback on their tournament experience. We do take how you view the tournament experience seriously and we’ll take all feedback into consideration if we need to make any changes for our Championship Series.

We thank you all in advance for helping us improve the tournaments in the future!

Registrations for Bullpen Bash are open now at the FACEIT Registration Page and close on May 14, 2025!

Make sure to sign up and see if you can be the first Bullpen Bash Hero!

We’ll also be announcing more community events later in the year for after the post-season!

Available now and lasting until Monday, March 31^st around 12:00 PM PT, earn double PXP on every player item after every game.

WHAT IS PARALLEL XP?

Parallel XP (PXP) unlocks parallel tiers, which can boost specific attributes for hitters and pitchers by +1 as you reach new parallels. At the same time, your card is stamped with a unique number showing where you stand in the community for that parallel tier on that card. You can earn +1 boosts in Parallel I (one) all the way to +5 boosts in Parallel V (five). Also look for changing border colors on the card. You can check the Parallel tab on every player card to see how close you are to unlocking all five Parallel tiers.

Boog Sciambi and Chris Singleton provide fresh insights, diving into the history, impact, and greatness of these players, ensuring their legacies continue to be celebrated in new and meaningful ways.

Audio Improvements

If presentation is the heart of immersion in our game, then crowd audio is the pulse that brings it to life. The roar of the crowd, the rise and fall of chants—this is baseball’s rhythm, surging with anticipation and settling in moments of relief. Whether on the field or in the bleachers, each sound marks a moment in time. That’s what makes baseball the best-sounding sport in the world.

This year, we’ve taken that passion to new heights in MLB® The Show™ 25. In addition to unique crowd sets for high school, college, MiLB, MLB®, and the MLB® Postseason™, we’ve introduced emitter-based crowd spatialization. This means that cheers and chants don’t just play—they come from specific sections of the stadium, making every moment feel more alive. Whether you’re on the field, in the bleachers, or in the dugout, the energy surrounds you. To deepen realism and immersion, we’ve also expanded our library of team and player-specific fan yells, chants, and stadium sound effects.

Our audio team was thrilled to craft unique, authentic soundscapes for high school and college baseball as part of our expanded Road to the Show experience. Some of the highlights include metal bats, chain link fences as well as the high school and college crowd atmospheres. We loved the challenge of making these environments feel distinct from professional baseball, ensuring that every stage of your journey sounds as dynamic as it feels. Baseball is a journey, and sound is an essential part of that experience. As you progress from high school to college and beyond, we hope you feel the excitement, intensity, and passion of every moment—just like we did while creating it.

Presentation and commentary are at the heart of what makes MLB® The Show™ 25 an immersive and authentic baseball experience. From dynamic broadcasts to engaging storytelling and in-depth analysis, every enhancement is designed to pull you deeper into the game and make every moment feel as real as possible. Our team is incredibly passionate about creating these experiences for our fans, constantly pushing to bring the sights and sounds of baseball to life in new and exciting ways. We can’t wait for you to step onto the field and experience it all for yourself. MLB® The Show™ 25 officially launches on March 18, but you can start playing right now in Early Access with the Digital Deluxe Edition!

WHAT IS WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

Weekend Classic is a time-limited multiplayer game mode and occurs near the end of every Ranked cycle. Your goal is to win as many games as possible during your first 6 games. Each win out of these 6 games will give additional, substantial rewards. Following these 6 games, you can continue playing to earn additional rewards. Climb a 100-player leaderboard with opponents of equal skill, where placing in the Top 10 will give even more rewards. 

WHEN CAN I PLAY WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

The first Weekend Classic will take place at the end of the first Ranked on Friday, April 11^th. Fans can routinely expect to play Weekend Classic the final weekend of the current Ranked. 

HOW LONG IS WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

Most Weekend Classics will take place for approximately 96 hours – from a Friday afternoon to a Tuesday afternoon. Some may be slightly shorter or slightly longer, but all will be at least 48 hours. 

HOW DO I QUALIFY FOR WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

All players, with an internet connection and online membership, are automatically qualified to play in Weekend Classic. However, by increasing a player’s Solo Ranked rating, a player will qualify for higher leagues which give better rewards. 

HOW DO I ACCESS WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

During an active Weekend Classic and when queueing for a Solo Ranked game, a player will automatically queue for a Weekend Classic game.

IS WEEKEND CLASSIC AVAILABLE FOR CO-OP? 

Weekend Classic is only available for Solo Ranked players. Players who play 2v2 or 3v3 Co-Op Ranked will continue to queue for those games to earn the current Ranked rewards. 

WHAT ARE THE WEEKEND CLASSIC LEAGUES? 

At launch, Weekend Classic will be composed of 8 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) 

*Leagues and associated ratings are subject to change. 

As players increase their Ranked rating, they will qualify for higher leagues. Once Weekend Classic begins, players will be locked into their current league and cannot promote or demote leagues. The league a player qualifies for is based on the maximum rating a player has achieved in the most recent Ranked. 

For example, if a player currently sits at 550 Ranked Rating when a Weekend Classic starts but had a max Rating of 650 earlier in the current Ranked, they will qualify for the Silver II League. 

WHAT REWARDS CAN I EARN FROM PLAYING WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

Players can expect to earn some of the best rewards in Diamond Dynasty in Weekend Classic, and the higher the League they qualify for, the better rewards they’ll have a chance to earn.  

There will also be two unique player items per Weekend Classic. These will appear in the Gold 1 League and higher as a possible reward to earn, so qualifying for higher Leagues has major reward advantages! 

DO I EARN MY REWARDS INSTANTANEOUSLY OR AT THE END OF THE CURRENT WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

Rewards for a player’s first six games of a Weekend Classic will be given instantaneously upon reaching each win threshold.  

Rewards for top leaderboard rankings will be distributed once the respective Weekend Classic has ended. 

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF A WEEKEND CLASSIC GAME? 

Ranked rules apply for Weekend Classic games. These are 9-inning games, and their difficulty is based on the rating of the players in the game. The difficulty of the higher rated player will determine the difficulty of the matchup, in the same way it happens in Ranked. 

There are no Quick Counts, Guess Pitch, or Balks. Weekend Classic games have no squad restrictions and are only available in 1v1 play and not Co-Op. 

WHAT IS THE WEEKEND CLASSIC LEADERBOARD & HOW DO I CLIMB IT? 

Weekend Classic Leaderboards contain 100 players who have qualified in the same league as one another. During Weekend Classic, players will be compared to one another on this leaderboard. At the end of the Weekend Classic, if a player is in the Top 10 out of these 100 players, they will earn additional rewards. These additional rewards are broken up into rankings of 6-10, 2-5, and 1. 

The leaderboard is ordered based on Rating Change. The player with the highest Ranked Rating increase will place first on the leaderboard. 

For example, a Gold 1 qualified player who starts at 700 rating and ends at 840 rating (+140) will rank higher on the leaderboard than another Gold 1 qualified player in their league who starts at 740 rating and ends at 840 rating (+100). 

CAN I EARN RANKED RATING WHILE PLAYING WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

Yes, Ranked Rating will continue to increase/decrease after each Weekend Classic game. 

CAN I EARN MULTIPLAYER PROGRAM PROGRESS WHILE PLAYING WEEKEND CLASSIC? 

Yes, Weekend Classic games will grant Mission progress in most Missions in the Multiplayer Program. 

CAN I OFFER A “FRIENDLY QUIT” DURING A WEEKEND CLASSIC GAME? 

Yes, friendly quits currently exist in Weekend Classic as they exist in Ranked.

Hall of Famer Ted Williams highlights a class of unrivaled ballplayers alongside Roger Clemens and Manny Ramirez, and introduces Negro Leagues legends James “Cool Papa” Bell and Wilber “Bullet Joe” Rogan. Fans can play with the iconic legends in this year’s game, along with returning legends Ken Griffey Jr., Derek Jeter, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige.

“Ted Williams instantly makes this MLB The Show 25 roster the greatest one we have ever assembled,” said Stephen Hass, Sr. Manager, Live Design on MLB The Show. “He joins more than 200 legends to create a Mount Rushmore of baseball royalty, alongside barrier breakers and record holders. It’s been a few years since Ted graced the game with his presence, and his value in baseball history is only matched by his character as a person. We can’t wait for this generation of fans to learn about him, and swing for the red seat once again.”

Largely considered one of the greatest ballplayers of all time, Ted Williams, embodies the pinnacle of baseball excellence. 

“Ted Williams’ legacy continues to captivate baseball fans across generations as one of the most revered players in the game’s history,” said Eric Abel, Longtime Family Spokesperson/Representative, and President of Ted Williams Family Enterprises, Ltd. “As the steward of his brand, I am committed to finding the best opportunities to share his story and introduce him to new audiences. MLB The Show 25 is a perfect partnership to honor Ted’s legacy and batting prowess. While most of today’s fans never had the chance to see him play in person, MLB The Show 25 allows gamers of all ages to experience the brilliance of the ‘Splendid Splinter’ and appreciate his lasting impact on baseball.”

Ted Williams played his entire 19-year MLB career with the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960. In that time, Williams garnered an astonishing list of achievements:

• 2 American League MVP Awards
• 2 American League Triple Crowns
• 6 American League Batting Titles
• .406 average in the 1941 season, becoming the last big leaguer to reach the .400 mark
• .482 career on-base percentage is the best of all time

Williams was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.

“Ted Williams Family Enterprises takes great pride in finding meaningful partnerships that celebrate Ted Williams and bring his influence to new platforms. His legacy remains as relevant today as ever and we are thrilled to embark on this partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment,” said Abel.

200+ legends will be available in the roster of MLB The Show 25, and the legends will be featured in Diamond Dynasty mode through live content updates.

Look for Jose Bautista, Jason Kipnis, Lance Berkman, Bobby Abreu, Gil Hodges, Jason Varitek, Darren O’Day, Don Baylor, Bobby Grich, Jim Kaat, Ted Simmons, Preston Wilson, Reggie Sanders and Hank Greenberg among the dozens of new legends in MLB The Show 25.

Our goal each year is to showcase a dynamic mix of chart-topping artists while also introducing fans to fresh, emerging talent. This year’s lineup spans multiple genres, blending hip-hop, rock, R&B, soul, and more to reflect the rich diversity of the baseball community. 

The MLB The Show 25 soundtrack features an impressive array of artists, including hip-hop heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, Vince Staples, and Lupe Fiasco, bringing lyrical mastery and energy to the game. The soulful sounds of Marvin Gaye and Leon Bridges add a timeless touch, while rock and alternative acts like Dune Rats and The Teskey Brothers infuse raw, vibrant energy.

Each track was carefully chosen to complement the action on the field, from the high-energy beats of Kal Banx, Smino & Buddy’s “HOP OUT CHO FEELINS” to the laid-back grooves of JD McPherson’s “Sunshine Getaway.” Whether you’re stepping up to the plate, rounding the bases, or closing out a big game, this soundtrack is designed to keep you immersed and motivated. 

This year’s soundtrack is a celebration of music and baseball, bringing together an incredible mix of genres and artists. Fans can listen to the full MLB The Show 25 soundtrack now on Spotify.

MLB® The Show™ 25 brings you another Weekly Curtain Call where we tip our hat to the latest and greatest Feature Premiere coverage, and this week the focus was on what’s new in Franchise mode.

Fielding Feedback: Franchise – Front Office Experience 

Feature Premiere: Franchise 

For all you GM’s… 

Get ready for next week’s Feature Premiere…Diamond Dynasty! 

MLB The Show 25 Early Access begins on March 14, for everyone that purchases the Digital Deluxe Edition*, and launches March 18 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch**. 

For all the latest information on MLB The Show, head over to TheShow.com, sign up for The Scouting Report, and follow our X, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. 

The next Deep Dive for MLB® The Show™ 25 is here, and it’s time to check out all the new updates headed to the fan-favorite mode – Franchise. In the new Front Office Experience for Franchise, your off-field decisions, including free agent and trade negotiations, as well as contract offers, will impact your team’s on-field performance. As general manager, your choices can make or break a successful season. Watch the trailer here and get ready to take control!

Franchise – Bring Your Team to the World Series 

Franchise mode in MLB The Show 25 introduces new improvements to the Front Office Experience, adding more depth to how teams navigate the offseason. Free agency and trades now evolve dynamically, with top teams setting the market and influencing how other clubs approach roster moves. Deciding when to make an offer carries more risk and reward—sign too early, and you might overpay; wait too long, and another team could swoop in to sign your target.

Player motivation also plays a bigger role in free agency, as signings are no longer just about offering the most money. Free agents now weigh factors like team reputation, market size, and competitive outlook when making decisions. A strong reputation with players can help attract top talent, but focusing too much on one signing might leave other targets feeling overlooked. Additionally, contract structures now better reflect real-world MLB deals, bringing added authenticity to roster building.

These updates provide a more engaging and strategic offseason experience, giving players more factors to consider when shaping their team’s future. Whether you take an aggressive approach or wait for the market to settle, every decision will impact your club’s success.

In 2025, MLB® The Show™ is celebrating its monumental 20th Anniversary, a milestone that honors two decades of baseball history, innovation, and unforgettable memories for baseball fans around the world. To mark this special occasion for San Diego Studio and PlayStation Studios, MLB The Show 25 proudly features not one, nor two, but three cover athletes for the first time ever—Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and Gunnar Henderson. These rising stars join a rich history of legendary cover athletes, symbolizing the future of baseball as we celebrate 20 incredible years of the franchise.

Paul Skenes’ journey began in high school and continued throughout college, where he cemented his status as one of most talented young pitchers in baseball by winning a national championship before being selected as the No. 1 overall pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2023 MLB Draft. The following season, Skenes made his MLB debut and became the first player in MLB history to start the All-Star Game just one year after being drafted. He capped off an incredible 2024 season by earning National League Rookie of the Year honors and being named to the All-MLB First Team. His story and skillset align perfectly with Road to the Show, where you can chart your own path to greatness.

Elly De La Cruz’s meteoric rise from the minors to the majors perfectly captures the excitement of working up to a big league debut and becoming a star. Since making his Major League debut in 2023 with the Cincinnati Reds, Elly has consistently proven to be one of the most electrifying players on the field. He became one of the youngest players in MLB history to hit for the cycle and is renowned for his blazing speed on the bases and his cannon-like arm, further cementing his status as one of the league’s most promising talents. The 2024 All-Star showcases an impressive five-tool skillset and a dynamic switch-hitting approach—exactly what MLB The Show fans dream of when developing or acquiring their starting shortstop in Franchise mode.

Rounding out this triple play of talent is the 2023 American League Rookie of the Year, Gunnar Henderson. Selected 42nd overall in the 2019 MLB Draft, Gunnar quickly ascended through the Orioles’ farm system, making his MLB debut late in the 2022 season. Heading into 2023, he was named the #1 prospect on MLB’s Top 100 list. In his first full season in the majors, Gunnar became a cornerstone of the Orioles’ young core, helping lead the team to its first postseason appearance in seven years. His outstanding performance earned him AL Rookie of the Year honors and a Silver Slugger Award. Gunnar’s star continued to rise in 2024, as he was selected to start in the MLB All-Star Game and compete in the Home Run Derby. His MLB journey resonates deeply with MLB The Show fans who strive to dominate head-to-head competition in their pursuit of greatness on the diamond.

We are also thrilled to announce that MLB The Show 25 will launch on March 18, 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch. The game will not be on platform subscription services in 2025. Early Access begins on March 14, 2025 for anyone who purchases the Digital Deluxe Edition.

The first player from the Caribbean and Latin America to win a World Series as a starting position player, Clemente was best known for his extraordinary speed on the plates and his unrivaled power at bat. While his on-field performance was the stuff of baseball legends, it was his off-field efforts that solidified his place as a timeless hero. As a civil rights advocate and active humanitarian, Clemente gave selflessly to help others and it was in these efforts Clemente lost his life in a plane crash while attempting to deliver much needed supplies to victims of a massive earthquake in Nicaragua.

Season 3 in Diamond Dynasty mode is arriving August 29^th in MLB The Show 24!  

Let’s hit on some big reveals and help you prepare now in the final weeks of Season 2. 

Highlights of what’s coming in Season 3: 

• Earn XP Reward Path bosses earlier than ever in TWO 6-week XP Reward Paths 

• Season 3.1 XP Rewards: TWO 99 Bosses 

• Season 3.2 XP Rewards: THREE MORE 99 Bosses 

• Complete Head Start goals NOW for 60,000 XP on Day 1 

• Earn THREE Wild Card Slots in the Season 3 Collection, plus bring CORE Ernie Banks into Season 3 squads 

• Team Affinity starts with 95 OVRs x30 teams in a new card series 

HIGHER OVERALLS AT LAUNCH & ACCELERATED POWER CURVE 

Season 3 brings another reset of the power curve in MLB The Show 24, but with a lot of changes, as you rebuild your squad once more.  

Season 3 will start with player rewards at 95 OVR and higher.  

For example, Team Affinity is filled with 95 OVRs, and Ranked World Series rewards have 97 OVR players. We hope that this still provides the sense of a fresh start to your team build. 

As we move throughout Season 3, the power curve will progress faster as well, with 99 OVRs coming along as we get into the exciting MLB Postseason. 

TWO NEW XP REWARD PATHS  

We’ve seen a lot of feedback around the XP Reward Path throughout MLB The Show 24. In the current Season 2, we made strides to make the grind shorter and allow the XP Reward Path Bosses to be more obtainable. In Season 3, we’re making even bigger changes to dial it up! 

Season 3 will feature two separate AND shorter XP Reward Paths, lasting six weeks each. Each XP Path is 350,000 XP long, which means you will be unlocking the boss rewards much quicker than past seasons. 

The first XP Reward Path in Season 3 will feature two 99 OVR Hall of Fame Bosses, but there are also other rewards along the way.  
 
Here are the player rewards you can find in the 3.1 XP Reward Path: 

• 95 OVR player item at 20,000 XP  

• 97 OVR player item at 90,000 XP 

• First 99 OVR boss reward at 160,000 XP 

• Second 99 OVR boss reward at 350,000 XP 

Keep in mind, the 3.1 XP Reward Path will expire in six weeks to make room for the new 3.2 XP Reward Path. It will come loaded with three new 99 OVR bosses in a similar reward structure. 

With these improvements to the XP Reward Path, we expect many of you will reach the bosses quicker and get them on your squad! 

GAMEPLAY XP CAP CHANGES & DOUBLE XP WEEKEND 

The launch of Season 3 is your chance to get on the fast track towards the 99 OVR XP bosses!  

We will be launching Season 3 with a Double XP Weekend over the Labor Day holiday weekend! In addition, starting in Season 3 and throughout the rest of MLB The Show 24, the cap on daily gameplay XP will be doubled from 15,000 to 30,000.   

Note: This daily cap only applies to XP earned playing games in MLB The Show 24 and does not cap how much you can earn through content such as Team Affinity and Other Programs. 

WHAT CAN I DO NOW IN SEASON 2 TO PREPARE FOR SEASON 3? 

CORE Ernie Banks  

By collecting 35 Action Figure players and completing the Action Figure collection, you can obtain 99 OVR Action Figure Ernie Banks, who is a CORE player item! This means that he is eligible for any season.

With the addition of the Moonshot Program on August 16^th, there will be exactly 35 Action Figure players that you can earn solely through gameplay.  This means that you can obtain 99 CORE Ernie Banks simply by playing through all the Season 2 content available to you!  

The Action Figure collection is in its own “Special Collections” area of the Collections tab in Diamond Dynasty.

Head Start Rewards 

Completing certain areas of Season 2 content will grant Head Start Rewards for Season 3, giving you a head start on Day 1! 

Completing any of these tasks in Season 2 will jumpstart your progress in Season 3: 

• Completing The Hall of Fame: Adrian Beltre Program 

• Completing the Moments of Glory Program

• Unlocking All-Star Game Paul Skenes through the 2024 All-Star Week Collection 

• Unlocking Season Awards Lightning Brenton Doyle through the Season Awards Program Collection 

• Unlocking Action Figure Max Scherzer by collecting 20 Action Figure players (on your way to CORE Ernie Banks) through the Action Figure Collection 

Completing these tasks individually provides rewards, but completing all five tasks will reward you with 60,000 XP on Day 1 of Season 3. With the new shortened XP Reward Path, you will start only 100,000 XP away from your first XP Reward Path Boss! 

Important Note: In order to earn Head Start rewards, these tasks must be completed BEFORE the launch of Season 3 on August 29th. They will not grant Head Start rewards if completed after the start of the season around noon PT.   

TEAM AFFINITY RETURNS WITH A NEW CARD SERIES 

A new season means new chapters of Team Affinity, and we’ve got a strong set of players dropping in Team Affinity Season 3: Chapter 1!  

In a brand-new card series, look out for fan-favorite legends such as Randy Johnson and Mariano Rivera, as well as a mix of current players among the 30 clubs! 

There’s one more change coming! Missions in Season 3 Team Affinity Programs will NOT have in-season requirements. Mix and match in-season and out-of-season theme teams to earn Team Affinity progress. Read ahead to find out which Diamond Dynasty modes will have in-season and out-of-season flexibility. 

We wish we could tell you more and show you more of this card, but that will have to wait. 

Important Note: Starting at a higher OVR curve to begin Season 3, there will be two Team Affinity Chapters released this season, each dropping alongside the two XP Reward Paths. Season 4 will still feature an all-new Team Affinity Chapter.  

UNDERSTANDING “WILD CARD” PLAYER SLOTS IN SEASON 3 

The Wild Card slot allows you to add any player item from previous seasons (in this case, a Season 1 or Season 2 player) onto your Season 3 eligible squad. 

You can earn three Wild Card Slots from the Season 3 Collection starting on August 29^th, with the fourth coming at a later date. This is a change from Season 2 when they were in the XP Reward Path. Our goal is for these three Wild Card Slots to be much quicker to obtain than they were in Season 2.  

Here’s how to unlock your Wild Card slots through the collection: 

• Collect 1 Season 3 Player: First Wild Card slot 

• Collect 15 Season 3 Players: Second Wild Card slot 

• Collect 50 Season 3 Players: Third Wild Card slot  

Note: Wild Card slots from Season 2 will not carry over into Season 3. The maximum amount of available Wild Card slots will remain at 4. 

BREAKDOWN OF SEASONAL RESTRICTIONS IN SEASON 3 

Season 3 cards will have the “S3” notation. Once Season 3 has begun, some modes won’t allow you to have “S1” or “S2” players in lineups without the use of a Wild Card slot. 

Referencing this graphic will help you keep track of what modes may have item restrictions: 

For example, Solo Ranked will always require an in-season team. Modes such as Events and Conquest will sometimes require an in-season squad while Play VS. CPU allows all cards regardless of the season.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY SEASON 1 & 2 PLAYER ITEMS WHEN SEASON 3 GOES LIVE? 

All Season 1 and Season 2 player items will remain in your Inventory, and you will not lose any items as the new Season begins. 

SEASON 3 AND SEASON 4 ITEM ELIGIBILITY 

Season 4 will be the final season of MLB The Show 24 and will have no restrictions! This means you will be able to use any cards from any season at any time once Season 3 is over in late November.  

This also means that any cards released during Season 3 will never be restricted, as they are eligible in their own season and in Season 4 too. Make sure to go after the best Season 3 cards you can get your hands on, as they have permanence throughout the rest of MLB The Show 24! 

LOOKING FORWARD – WHAT’S AHEAD IN SEASON 3 AND BEYOND? 

Throughout September, several programs will be dropping with new and exciting content in Diamond Dynasty, including the celebration of Roberto Clemente Day. 

As we move into October, we will be bringing you reactive live content based on the biggest moments of the MLB Postseason! Stay tuned for weekly Postseason content updates as teams make a World Series run. 

Oh, and one more program is coming in Season 3.
