Team Affinity in MLB The Show 24 is a long-running Diamond Dynasty program that allows you to earn special Diamond Packs and other rewards by completing collections and objectives focused on specific MLB teams. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
Core Concept:
Each MLB team has its own Team Affinity program within Diamond Dynasty.
By completing programs for your favorite teams (or strategically for the best rewards), you earn Team Affinity points and progress through various program levels.
Higher program levels unlock valuable rewards like Diamond Packs, player cards, customization items, and even Stubs (in-game currency).
Program Activities:
Completing Collections: Collect specific player cards from a particular team to earn significant Team Affinity points and rewards.
Playing Games with Team Players: Use players from a specific team in your lineup while playing games in various modes (like online Ranked Seasons or offline Moments) to accumulate points.
Completing Program Missions: These are short, specific challenges like getting hits with a certain player or pitching a certain number of innings with a team’s starting pitcher. Completing missions grants Team Affinity points.
Key Changes in MLB The Show 24:
Three Releases per Season: Unlike previous iterations, Team Affinity programs are now released three times per season, offering more frequent content and reward opportunities.
Focus on Pitchers: Some missions or collections might emphasize using specific pitchers from a team, potentially making it a faster way to progress early on in each program release.
Benefits of Team Affinity:
Building a Team: Team Affinity rewards can help you acquire valuable players for your Diamond Dynasty squad, especially if you focus on programs for your favorite teams.
Earning Stubs: Completing programs can grant Stubs, which you can use to buy packs or players on the marketplace.
Boosting Enjoyment: Focusing on teams you like can add an extra layer of fun and engagement to the Diamond Dynasty experience.
By participating in Team Affinity programs, you can earn valuable rewards, build a stronger Diamond Dynasty team, and potentially acquire Stubs to enhance your MLB The Show 24 experience.
