How to Make Progress
MLB The Show 23 players will need Team Affinity (TA) Points in order to make progress in each of the six paths. There are a number of ways to get TA Points, which include:
- Division-specific Moments
- Team Build PXP Missions (REPEATABLE)
- Captain Stat Missions (with cards from TA2)
- Future Star PXP Missions (with cards from TA2)
- Incognito PXP Missions (with cards from TA2) (REPEATABLE)
- Mini Seasons Voucher Exchange
- Exchanges of cards from specific division
- EAST, CENTRAL, and WEST Showdowns
- EAST, CENTRAL, and WEST Conquests
- March to October
If you’re short on Stubs, we don’t recommend doing the player Exchanges. Rather, it would be a better idea to sell any excess Live Series cards and instead grind through the various Moments and Missions.
We do want to give you one quick tip on how to make the most out of your time. Make sure to use the Future Star Henchmen and Captains in single-player action (i.e. Conquest & Mini Seasons), as that can take care of two problems.
Team Affinity 2, much like Team Affinity 1, will not expire.
