Your progress in the "First Inning" in 2025
-
@aaronjw76_MLBTS thank you it’s starting to come together. First time since I was 16 I’m unemployed.
-
Over a million xp in the inning program, all the Jolt cards unlocked, no team collections done and the all-star and finest voucher done for the Dodgers
-
I'm around 900k got all 3 bosses got a ton of packs from doing ta from 55k - 120k just from the AL I'm working on the NL.
Only flashback collections not completed are spring breakout (because f doing showdown 4 times I like to keep whatever is left of my sanity) and threads I at least have Chapman.
Only diamonds I need to complete collections are
Skubal
Miller
Shohei
Mookie
Whitt
JRam
Trout
Soto
Sale
Acúna
SeagerI don't buy stubs or packs I've had some good luck with getting 2 Judge Elly Skenes and selling them to complete a lot of team collections. Sitting on 150k stubs left waiting to see what drops Friday and if the LS card prices tank because of weekend classic
-
I didnt get a chance to play the game a whole lot, as my wife gave birth to our first at the end of January. I was able to get to Arrieta in the 1st Inning and I will buy McGwire today to have all 3 bosses and I will still have 300k stubs left. I have the New Threads, and Pipeline programs and collections done. I have the Tokyo program done. I just need to lock in for Sasaki. I am done the West Conquest and only a couple games left in the Central.
I havent played DQ, Mini seasons or any online modes
The only LS diamonds i need are
Shohei
Judge
Witt
Soto
Ramirez
Tatis
Lindor
Betts
Marte
Skubal
Acuna
Sale
Wheeler
Harper
Skenes
Henderson
Tucker
Clase
Valddy Jr
Freeman
EllyI have 300k stubs but not sure which collection i want to do next
I only have a couple Jolt cards. I will hopefully have time to grind for more this weekend
-
I'm surprised you got a chance to play at all.
-
@PAinPA_PSN I snuck in some time haha

Haha right. My balls would have been in a sling lol

- Finished 1st Inning program. 6 spins, one premium pipeline pack, one 5 bundle the rest were headliners, with on decent pull (LS Sale). I have pulled Skenes, Henderson and Elly but nothing bigger.
- Team Affinity- Missing 3 (Marlins, Royals and Angels) Need wins for each team. The SB missions were my favorite.
- LS- NL Central Complete, Need Harper and the NL East is finished. Need the big names Ohtani, Judge, Trout, Witt, Marte, Betts and a couple mids (Alvarez and Skubel). Always struggle at this point to save for the top dog and get him first or grab the cheaper ones and work up? My favorite LS players have been Soto, J Ram and Elly.
- Completed Pipeline a couple days ago, pulled Shultz and Bazzana on the same DQ run, figured it was a sign from God, and decided to keep them this time. Been selling all my new threads cards to get stubs for LS. I figure eventually those new threads cards prices will end up in the toilet like pipeline and Ill do the set then.
- Ive played 3 multiplayer games, realized that the multiplayer grind is not worth it for me. Back to offline.
-
New to MLB The Show this year and really got into Diamond Dynasty — finished the 1st Inning Program, picked up Manny and McGwire, and had a couple spins on the wheel.
Quick question: is the Boss Collection actually worth it later in the season? I’ve got about 35k stubs and I’m torn between grabbing Beltre or knocking out a bunch of the lower-tier Live Series cards.
-
@GordanBombay66_XBL its only really worth it for the head start on inning 2. More than likely you'll be able to get the final card in the final inning at the end of the year, as they always (usually) do rewind stuff for cards that you may have missed.
-
Finished the first inning program. Have a hit about 4 wheels spins (i've lost count). All offline programs done. Need to complete 7 live series teams (Braves, Phils, Mets, Pirates, Dodgers, Padres, DBacks). Other collections complete save for Spring Breakout (need to do the 4 showdowns) and New Threads (sitting at 24 of 28). Need 6 TA (Braves, Mets, Dodgers, Padres, DBacks, Brewers) to have all the captains but havent advanced more than that. I just started multiplayer on Monday and have made it to Mark Davis, but am hoping to get to Bautista by cut off tomorrow. All in all I enjoyed he first inning, looking forward to the second.
-
1.) Finished the XP path, currently at about 1.1 million, and had some nice hits on the wheel so far. Got two diamond spins yesterday.
2.) Team affinity just about done. I have 2 teams left that I am just casually finishing up as I have time.
3.) LS Collection not done yet. I have about 12 teams left to finish and just missing most of the big gatekeepers for those 12. I have been extremely lucky with some diamond pulls though that have helped a lot. Pulled Judge early, Yordan twice (sold one obviously), Skenes, Mookie, Tatis, and maybe a couple others I am forgetting. I still need most of the big dogs though.
4.) All other collections are done with the exception of New Threads. I'm hoping more of those packs show up for free in the 2nd Inning programs and can complete those a little easier.
Overall the 1st Inning was really fun. I'm enjoying the game so far this year and looking forward to Inning 2.

Only have about 8 jolt cards as most of my focus had been on farming DQ to help get the LS collection done.

DQ new threads. Takes me about 50-60 mins to get (usually) the 4 cards which you can sell obviously.
-
I feel like my progress is solid so far.
Have "spun" the wheel 19 time with 10 Silver and 9 Gold results.Decent Progress on all TAs and finished up my last stolen base TA mission today. So I can quit with all the pinch running finally!!!
Live series I have 9 diamonds left to collect but all but two of them are pretty spendy so I'll just keep plugging away at making stubs until I get lucky or have enough stubs to finish it off.
And I have have 21 P5 cards so far.
-
@VENOM1120_PSN Christ. I didn't realize you have to do the Showdown 4x. I figured you got all four cards for one successful run. Forget that. I can live without those four cards. I hate showdown with a pretty big passion.
-
@DavisFlanagan_PSN Congrats Bro!
-
Completed 1st inning, 2 wheel spins (2nd spin was a chase pack, pulled 87 Hank Aaron);
Got the minimum 15 jolts for the voucher;
6 LS collections left, all gatekeepers;
Completed all programs except Spring breakout;
Completed all player evolutions:
Completed Spotlight programCompleted mini season for Sabathia;
Pulled Ohtani 1st weekend and sold(probably should’ve held on to him); -
1st inning completed. 2 wheel spins 2 golds
All the AL and Over Half the NL Jolt Cards
All the live series minus the 30k plus diamonds (I do have Judge)
Every program done minus two finishing up this weekend. -
Yeah, I’ll chime in. I’m about 6k XP short of the first boss pack. I’ll admit I haven’t played as much so far, mainly because hitting has been so “unrewarding”.
I also think the pipeline program and the “mandatory” showdown (which I failed to get past the 2nd pitcher twice) also diminished my interest. I spent too much time trying to finish it and I just got Salas.
All other theme programs are finished though.
SDS must do something about hitting.
I’ll also add that flipping is nigh impossible right now. That also diminishes my fun with the game.
