• MLB The Show 25 Postseason Past Program Guide: How To Earn 99 OVR Cards And More Rewards?

  To ensure you're consuming extra time in the game beyond regular modes, or to make your MLB The Show 25 experience more purposeful than casual, new programs are regularly released.

  These programs require you to complete specific tasks to earn points. When your total reaches a certain threshold, you'll receive a reward - perhaps XP, stubs, card packs, or rare players.

  One of the newest programs available is Postseason Past, which launched on September 26th. It's so named because the three 99 OVR cards included in the program are previously released postseason cards in MLB 25, but now they're even better.

  We'll introduce these four card rewards and a guide to completing this Postseason Past program.

  

  Postseason Past Program Overview

  To celebrate 2025 MLB Postseason, MLB The Show 25 launched Postseason Past program in-game on September 26th, allowing you to experience the real-world atmosphere of the game in the virtual world.

  This program offers 10 rewards, the highest level requiring 100 points. The remaining rewards require progressively fewer points based on rarity (each 10 points corresponds to a level).

  Additionally, missions that provide points include three Program PXP Missions, each granting 10 points, as well as 15 Moments and optional PXP Missions. You can choose which ones to complete based on their difficulty and your abilities.

  All Postseason Past Program Missions

  To help you plan your Postseason Past program completion plan more accurately, we've listed all the missions below:

  Moments Missions:

  • There are 15 of these, each granting 5 points.

  Program PXP Missions:

  • Using a 99 OVR Hampson, earn 350 PXP, granting 10 points.
  • Using a 99 OVR Rosario, earn 350 PXP, granting 10 points.
  • Using a 99 OVR Taylor, earn 350 PXP, granting 10 points.

  Optional PXP Missions - Earn 500 PXP using any of the following players:

  • Freddie Freeman
  • Bob Gibson
  • Jose Bautista
  • Garrett Hampson
  • Randy Johnson
  • David Ortiz
  • Bill Mazeroski
  • Chris Taylor
  • Tom Glavine
  • George Springer
  • Ozzie Smith
  • Eddie Rosario
  • Jorge Soler
  • Corey Seager
  • Roy Halladay

  Best Strategy For Completing This Program

  Because each mission provides relatively few points, it's recommended to prioritize unlocking the first three card rewards after completing approximately 11 Moments missions, then use them to complete the corresponding missions to instantly earn 30 points.

  Alternatively, if you have enough players for the optional PXP Missions, you can also use them to complete this Postseason Past program. It's often faster to use existing players' cards than to unlock new ones.

  What Rewards Can You Earn?

  There are 10 tiers of rewards for this program, as follows:

  • 10 Points: 5,000 XP
  • 20 Points: 99 OVR The Show Classics Garrett Hampson
  • 30 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack (x3)
  • 40 Points: 99 OVR The Show Classics Chris Taylor
  • 50 Points: 5,000 XP
  • 60 Points: 99 OVR The Show Classics Eddie Rosario
  • 70 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack (x3)
  • 80 Points: 5,000 XP
  • 90 Points: Deluxe Choice pack
  • 100 Points: 99 OVR Milestone Roy Halladay and 15,000 XP

  Partial stats for the four special players are as follows:

  Garrett Hampson:

  • Hitter Total - 532
  • Pitcher Total - 878
  • Overall Total - 1410

  Chris Taylor:

  • Hitter Total - 1445
  • Pitcher Total - 20
  • Overall Total - 1465

  • Hitter Total - 1418
  • Pitcher Total - 20
  • Overall Total - 1438

  Roy Halladay:

  • Hitter Total - 532
  • Pitcher Total - 949
  • Overall Total - 1481

  More Subsequent Programs

  Seasonal Playoff Predictions Packs are expected to release on September 29th, and new programs will continue to be released throughout October for you to participate in, giving you the chance to win more Postseason Series cards.

  

  How To Get 99 OVR Xavier Edwards Card?

  Notably, along with the launch of Postseason Past program, MLB 25 also offers the opportunity to destroy Live Series cards to craft the new 99 OVR Milestone Xavier Edwards player card.

  To do this, you'll need to own Live Series cards with a total in-game value of no more than 500,000. Then, go to the redemption menu, view your existing cards, and select enough low-OVR cards to meet the crafting requirements. To do this:

  • 1. Find Collect section in the main menu and click Exchanges on the right.
  • 2. Find and click Exchange Players, then scroll down to find 99 OVR Xavier Edwards and complete the exchange.

  Note that cards locked in your Live Series collection cannot be destroyed, and it's best not to craft with cards with an OVR higher than 85, as this will lead to unnecessary consumption.

  In addition to 99 OVR Xavier Edwards card, this exchange also rewards you with 1,000 XP.

  While MLB 25 hasn't introduced any particularly innovative gameplay recently, if you're already a baseball fan, these real-world baseball-related programs are enough to keep you entertained. Have fun!

  • Contact Right: 110
  • Contact Left: 125
  • Power Right: 114

  • Vision: 109
  • Discipline: 108

  • Bunt: 35
  • Drag Bunt: 25
  • Durability: 92

  Tim Raines played primarily for Montreal Expos (Washington Nationals). He consistently batted above .290, accumulated over 2,600 hits, and stole 808 bases with an astonishingly high success rate, making him considered one of the smartest and most efficient base stealers of all time.

  • Bunt: 35
  • Drag Bunt: 25
  • Durability: 98

  Ozzie Smith’s career was almost entirely tied to St. Louis Cardinals. His batting statistics weren’t impressive, and due to limited power, he hit very few home runs. However, his playing style was unique: he often relied on a small-ball strategy, using bunts, speed, and team play to create opportunities for his team.

• MLB The Show 25 August Spotlight Drop 5 Program Rewards And Missions

  Although August has ended, August Spotlight series always slows down. On September 5th, the last batch of players in MLB 25 August Spotlight series was finally revealed.

  • Discipline: 48
  • Clutch: 111
  • Bunt: 35
  • Drag Bunt: 25
  • Durability: 92

  One notable difference between this card and the other two Noelvi Marte cards is that his primary position has changed from third baseman to right fielder, following his permanent move to right field in late July.

  In an August game against Angels, Marte hit a single and his 10th home run of the season. He became the only other Reds player since 2013 to achieve seven multi-hit games in 10 days. Marte also had a four-game multi-hit streak starting in mid-August, batting .442.

• MLB The Show 25 Team Affinity Neon Introduces New Captain Cards By Team's Grind

  As the game gradually settles into its current state, MLB 25 has been known to introduce new rewards to various modes through update programs to encourage continued participation. Some of these rewards are independent, while others are closely tied to the main modes.

  Take Team Affinity Neon, which launched on August 30th, as an example. This program ties into Team Affinity gameplay in Diamond Dynasty mode and aims to provide new captain cards to balance the strengths of different teams.

  So what rewards can you get from this program? And how can you get them? We'll explain.

  

  Team Affinity Neon Overview

  This program gives each team in the game an OVR 99 captain card. The bonus granted by the card is determined by the overall strength of the team - stronger teams receive smaller bonuses to balance the strengths of teams at different levels.

  These cards cover a wide range of player types, from young rookies to rising stars to established veterans. However, no matter which MLB 25 player you want to obtain from Neon series, you must complete the corresponding team's TA mission.

  The following are the players available in Team Affinity Neon and their teams:

  AL East:

  • Toronto Blue Jays: RF Shawn Green
  • Baltimore Orioles: C Adley Rutschman
  • Tampa Bay Rays: CF Chandler Simpson
  • Boston Red Sox: 3B Marcelo Mayer

  • Los Angeles Dodgers: 3B Adrián Beltré
  • San Francisco Giants: CF Willie Mays
  • San Diego Padres: CF Jackson Merrill
  • Colorado Rockies: 1B Charlie Condon

  Which Missions Earn You Program Rewards?

  To obtain a Neon player, you need to earn 50,000 Team Affinity Points for their team during the program. While this is a staggering number, thankfully MLB 25 offers plenty of ways to farm.

  Start Here Moment

  Each team has a onetime opportunity to earn 10,000 points, which provides an initial boost to their progress toward completing subsequent missions.

  Team Stat Missions

  You'll be given several specific missions to complete, each rewarding an average of 5,000 points. However, some teams may offer special, more difficult missions that reward even more points.

  • 20 Hits: 5,000 TA Points
  • 15 Strikeouts: 5,000 TA Points
  • 50 Total Bases: 5,000 TA Points
  • 9 Pitched Innings: 10,000 TA Points
  • 5 RBI with hitters / 1 Win with SP (with Milestone Jordan Zimmerman): 10,000 TA Points

  PXP Missions

  This mission will earn you different amounts of TA Points depending on PXP earned by different types of players, as follows:

  • 1,000 PXP with pitchers from each team: 10,000 TA Points
  • 1,000 PXP with hitters from each team: 5,000 TA Points
  • 1,000 PXP with Jolt, Color Storm, 2025 All-Star: 25,000 TA Points

  What Are The Rewards?

  In addition to the 30 captain cards listed above, Team Affinity Neon also offers the following rewards for completing a specific team's quest:

  • Team-specific icon
  • Team-specific uniform items
  • 3x Show Packs
  • 1x Ballin Pack
  • 4,500 XP

  These rewards not only enrich your collection and help your character or team grow, but also allow you to unlock additional players by opening packs. If you don't need these players, you can trade them for stubs on the trade market.

  

  Which Neon Cards Are Worth Focusing On?

  Honestly, completing Team Affinity quests for all 30 teams is difficult, almost impossible, so it's important to understand which captain cards are most valuable and prioritize them.

  If you enjoy well-known legends, the following players are worth acquiring:

  • Willie Mays
  • Derek Jeter
  • Lance Berkman
  • Bobby Abreu
  • Adley Rutschman
  • Adrian Beltre
  • Ozzie Albies
  • Hunter Greene

  What Is Neon Collection?

  When you reach a certain threshold in your collection of captain cards during this program, you'll unlock new collection cards as bonus rewards. These cards often feature enhanced stats and are highly effective in improving your team's performance.

  For example, after collecting 15 Neon cards, you'll receive Al Leiter as a reward. One of the best starting pitchers in Diamond Dynasty, this player possesses exceptional pitching skills and elite attributes, making him ideal for competitive content.

  And if you collect all Team Affinity and collection cards, you'll receive Bryan Reynolds as the ultimate reward. As an outfielder with exceptional stats, he excels at every position.

  Other collection reward cards include:

  • Lou Gehrig
  • Lance Berkman
  • Adrian Beltre
  • Konnor Griffin

  Given the recent or upcoming releases of many new sports games, MLB The Show 25 is undoubtedly under considerable pressure. Hopefully, Team Affinity Neon will enhance the game's competitive appeal with these new captain cards.

• MLB The Show 25 Double Agent Program Offers New Cards Of Different Versions

  It's been nearly six months since the launch of MLB The Show 25. If you've been playing consistently, you've likely already explored its basic mechanics and associated challenges. The constant updates to the programs are likely what's kept you going.

  While programs offer new MLB 25 players and other unique rewards, each program operates largely the same, leading to gameplay fatigue. Fortunately, Double Agent program seems poised to break this mold!

  With this in mind, we'll provide details about the program and its key rewards.

  

  Double Agent Program Overview

  The program launched on August 26th. Beyond the basic rewards, you'll also have the opportunity to earn multiple, higher-level versions of three different players' cards from different teams.

  When building special themed teams in MLB 25, you often find yourself missing cards for a particular player. Double Agent's approach to providing bonus cards clearly addresses this issue.

  While players won't improve on any particular team they've played for, different versions of the card do offer the opportunity to play with a wider variety of teams. For you, this means more ways to play.

  This is what makes Double Agent different from any other program in the game to date. With its all-new player card concept, Double Agent disrupts the traditional model, giving you the opportunity to obtain multiple cards with unique attributes for the same player.

  All Available Rewards

  The program's rewards are simple, including special player cards, card packs, and XP:

  • 10 Points: 98 OVR Topps Now Danny Jansen (Blue Jays)
  • 20 Points: 98 OVR Topps Now Danny Jansen (Red Sox)
  • 30 Points: 99 OVR Awards Jim Edmonds (Angels)
  • 40 Points: 7,000 XP
  • 50 Points: 99 OVR Awards Jim Edmonds (Cardinals)
  • 60 Points: 7,000 XP
  • 70 Points: 99 OVR Awards Gaylord Perry (Guardians)
  • 80 Points: 7,000 XP
  • 90 Points: Deluxe Choice pack (includes New Threads 2.0)
  • 100 Points: 99 OVR Awards Gaylord Perry (Padres) and 7,000 XP

  All available XP points total 28,000, which will help you progress further through the season path. Additionally, if there are cards in Deluxe Choice pack that you don't want, you can trade them for more stubs.

  In addition, the attributes of the three player-related cards will vary depending on the team. For example, Gaylord Perry's Padres version has a lower H/9 but a higher K/9.

  

  How To Complete Double Agent Program?

  Each program has different point-earning requirements. To earn all rewards, you need to earn 100 points, which means you need to earn 100 stars in Double Agent program. Below, we'll explain the four main ways to earn points.

  1. Complete 5 Moments

  In MLB 25, Moments are essentially challenges within the storylines of various programs. Completing specific tasks will earn you the rewards. Once you select a program, you can view the available moments.

  Double Agent program requires you to select five moments to complete, each rewarding 5 points. Therefore, completing all of them will earn you 25 points.

  2. Program PXP Missions

  This section requires you to use either version of each player from the program, and each completed mission will reward you with 5 points. The specific requirements are as follows:

  • Tally 350 PXP with either 98 OVR Topps Now Danny Jansen

  4. Optional Extreme Crack The Code Moments

  Theoretically, completing the three tasks above is enough to earn all the points. However, if you'd like a more challenging and interesting challenge to earn more points per task and complete the program quickly, you can also choose the following Mystery Moments:

  • Level 1: In an inning with a veteran, pitch two walks and allow one hit without allowing a run - 10 points
  • Level 2: Strike out four batters in an inning without allowing the veteran to score - 10 points
  • Level 3: Make the veteran hit two sacrifice flies in four at-bats - 20 points
  • Level 4: Hit a double, a triple, and a home run in one inning, and fail two stolen base attempts against a veteran without scoring a single run - 30 points
  • Level 5: Steal six bases in one inning without scoring against a veteran - 30 points

  Note that all Extreme Moments are unlocked only after completing the previous level. Not only are they challenging, but most also require a good deal of luck.

  So, if you are not completely confident in your skills and luck and don't want to waste extra time, we don't recommend completing optional moments to earn Double Agent program points - other methods are more than sufficient.

  That's all we have got for you. Since MLB The Show 25 will feature more programs later, we recommend completing Double Agent as soon as possible to avoid missing out on earning rewards from other programs. Have fun!

  Rich Gossage is a legendary reliever. He reached the peak of his career with New York Yankees, known for his fastball exceeding 100 mph and his dominant play.

  Gossage was a nine-time All-Star and helped Yankees win 1978 World Series. He also tallied 310 saves and was inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.

  How To Make Progress?

  Like before, 7th Inning Program requires accumulating XP to progress. Because of its relatively short duration, this time there are 36 rewards, and you need to accumulate 340,000 XP to unlock them all.

  There's no quick way to accumulate XP in MLB 25. You can earn XP by playing Real Time Strategy, Diamond Dynasty, and Conquest modes. 7th Inning Program runs from August 22nd to September 12th, 2025. Players interested in this card should take advantage of this opportunity.

  You can also redeem unclaimed cards for XP:

  • I: 5,000 XP (10,000 Value)
  • II: 7,000 XP (14,000 Value)
  • III: 10,000 XP (20,000 Value)
  • IV: 13,000 XP (26,000 Value)
  • V: 15,000 XP (30,000 Value)

  

  7th Inning Bosses

  99 OVR Steve Carlton, Milestone, Phillies, SP

  • Stamina: 125
  • H/9: 111
  • K/9: 109
  • BB/9: 90
  • HR/9: 94
  • Pitch Clutch: 118
  • Control: 91
  • Velocity: 99
  • Break: 99

  Steve Carlton is one of the greatest starting pitchers in baseball history, known for his sharp slider. He played for Philadelphia Phillies for the majority of his prime, helping them win 1980 World Series.

  Carlton won four Cy Young Awards, was a 10-time All-Star, and accumulated 329 wins and 4,136 strikeouts. He was elected to Baseball Hall of Fame with a high vote in 1994, and his number 32 jersey was permanently retired by Philadelphia Phillies.

  He was the first pitcher in Major League Baseball history to achieve both 300 wins and 4,000 strikeouts. His 27-win season with the struggling Phillies in 1972 remains legendary.

  This card currently ranks second among starting pitchers in MLB 25, making it the undisputed top choice among the three Boss cards.

  99 OVR Chase Headley, Finest, Padres, 3B (1B)

  • Contact Right: 115
  • Contact Left: 102
  • Power Right: 105
  • Power Left: 116
  • Vision: 85
  • Discipline: 100
  • Clutch: 108
  • Bunt: 35
  • Drag Bunt: 25
  • Durability: 99

  Chase Headley's career peaked with San Diego Padres, where he won NL RBI title and Silver Slugger Award in 2012.

  His card ranks seventh among third basemen and eighth among first basemen. His positional flexibility makes him a valuable asset.

  99 OVR David Ortiz, Hall Of Fame, Red Sox, 1B

  • Contact Right: 121
  • Contact Left: 108
  • Power Right: 125
  • Power Left: 105
  • Vision: 93
  • Discipline: 120
  • Clutch: 125
  • Bunt: 35
  • Drag Bunt: 25
  • Durability: 98

  David Ortiz primarily serves as a designated hitter and first base of Boston Red Sox. He was a 10-time All-Star and 7-time Silver Slugger. He helped Boston Red Sox win three World Series titles in 2004, 2007, and 2013 and was named ALCS MVP in 2004 and World Series MVP in 2013.

  He hit 541 home runs in his career, retired in 2017, and will be inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022.

  This card ranks 11th among first basemen in MLB 25, making it less valuable than Chase Headley. It's also the least valuable of the three bosses, so you can unlock it later on the trade market, which saves some MLB 25 stubs.

  That's a general overview of 7th Inning Program. If you want to claim the rewards, you'll need to earn XP now!
