Just before the long Memorial Day weekend, Sony released a MLB The Show 24 Season 1 Recap Program in Diamond Dynasty on May 23. The program features a plethora of Choice Packs released in Season 1, as well as a 99 OVR Byron Buxton, as the Twins outfielder was a familiar face in online play. And, some MLB The Show players likely don’t have to do much to get this program done.

The beginning of the reward path features three 87 OVR cards that were regional exclusives and could only be obtained — aside from early on when these cards were released — in the Yankees, Dodgers, or Padres’ home bases, depending on the card.
At the end of the reward path is a 99 OVR Byron Buxton, awarded for being the most-used Cornerstone Captain in Season 1. There are also many Choice Packs but be warned that virtually all, aside from the Season 1 Vault packs, feature untradeable rewards.
And, a look at the attributes of the 99 OVR Byron Buxton:

Aside from the Missions and Showdown, some Collections can be completed, using players obtained from Other Programs, Team Affinity Chapters 1-3 in Season, the Season 1 Collections, and the XP Reward Path players.
These cards include the Mookie Betts Lightning card, the 95 OVR Rollie Fingers from the Season 1 XP path, the 95 OVR Classics Bellinger, to even the Sandy Alcantara from the Starter Program.
Look at these collections first before doing anything with the Missions or Showdown. Because those who have done mostly everything in Season 1 likely don’t need to do much to get this program done.
This program will not expire.
