Diamond Dynasty

Moments take you back to relive baseball history or showcase the highlights of the 2024 season. Since Moments are not a full game, they’re a great way to earn progress in Seasons and Other Programs when you only have a little time to play. Try them all!

Coach Tip: There is no penalty for restarting Moments at any point. If you need to compile multiple hits in a game, you might want to start fresh if you don’t get one of them in your first at-bat.

Seasons are how we track the passing of time in both life and The Show 24. Seasons are tied to a Season Reward Path, but also mode-specific Reward Programs, lineup-building restrictions, Moments, and gameplay missions.

Coach Tip: If you’re looking for a more in-depth guide than these pages contain, check out the forums on https://theshow.com for tips and advice from some of the sharpest gamers in the MLB The Show community.

Unlike the main Season Reward Path, Team Affinity Programs are themed around the six divisions in Major League Baseball. Season-eligible player cards are rewarded for progress in these programs and used for some Stat Missions and Moments. You can even gain progress towards the Team Affinity Program by stepping away from Diamond Dynasty and playing through a season of March to October!

Coach Tip: Don’t just stack your lineup with players from that division— pick a Captain who boosts cards from the same team, add his teammates to your lineup, and enjoy the benefits of a powerful Tier 3 boost while you pile up those rewards in record time!

Other Programs are exactly what they sound like, other Programs that supplement the Season Reward Paths but don’t fit in the Team Affinity box. Every Other Program is different: some are time-limited, highlight a particular player’s career, or are themed around an event.

Coach Tip: Get your feet wet in Diamond Dynasty by checking out the Starter Program. You’ll complete a few Moments, play your first Showdown, and complete some Missions in regular gameplay—and earn some of your very first packs and players as Program Rewards!

Collections are completed by locking in several cards from a particular set. Complete each Collection’s milestones to earn unique rewards like valuable players and equipment. Keep an eye out for new Collections with more powerful rewards as the season goes on!

Coach Tip: If you have the necessary Stubs, use the Online Community Marketplace to bridge that last gap or two in a Collection you’re working on completing.
