How to earn XP

For those new to MLB The Show 22, we should note that there are many ways to earn XP. Players can play the various game modes in MLB The Show 22 and earn XP after each game, including Road to the Show, Diamond Dynasty, Franchise, and even March to October. Daily Moments have also been added to this program. Daily Moments offer a 1,500-2,000 XP boost for each one that players complete. Players will also receive 2,000 XP for completing each Featured Program Moments. Be on the lookout for additional Spotlight Moments, as well as Other programs that might pop up throughout this Featured Program.

Users can also gain XP by completing the Missions that SDS has inserted into this program. Users can use the cards obtained from the Legends and Flashback and Classics packs and grind to get PXP Points. Each of the players found in these packs has PXP Missions.

SDS has also added a new Showdown (30,000 XP) and a Grasshopper Conquest (30,000 XP). Be on the lookout for a new Conquest and moments on September 9.

Additionally, users who have obtained the Finest Kerry Wood, Aroldis Chapman, Robinson Cano, and Josh Donaldson cards found in the Extreme program can add those toward collections for up to 120,00 XP. However, if you have used those cards for a previous program, you won’t be able to collect those items again.

This program will last 15 days. It will end on September 16.
