April Monthly Awards point breakdown

Like most programs in MLB The Show 23, the best thing to do is to start with the moments to collect easy points. There are 18 moments at two points apiece for a total of 36 points to open with. Once you do that, it’s a matter of collecting cards and getting both PXP and stats from monthly award cards. The stats will net you 35 points. It’s worth noting that one of the stat categories is “Save,” for which you need to have a lead of less than three runs and win in order to collect. The PXP missions are straightforward: 500 for pitchers and 200 for hitters, with a big sack of points for getting 5000 XP overall. When you’re done with the PXP missions, you get 82 points.

If you have been keeping up with the April Topps Now program, you can get 15 points for collecting eight specific players in the program. You won’t be able to collect these points until you’ve fully finished the program.

If you feel like going online, you can earn a single point for every win that you get in the Event games hub between now and April 12 when Set 2 unlocks.
