It included fresh reward paths, packs, and 30 new bosses to earn. Here’s a look at the reward path for each part of Team Affinity, plus how to make progress.

Some notes before we get into the next section. One, there are six division tiers in Chapter 1, one for each of the six divisions in Major League Baseball. The six paths follow the same reward path system.

Second, there’s been a slight increase in earnable XP for Team Affinity 2. Rather than 750 XP boosts found at certain points in Team Affinity 1, the first boost has been raised to 1,000 XP for Season 2. Tiers where boss packs can be found have been boosted to 2,000 XP.

Lastly, Chapter 1, along with prior and subsequent chapters, will not expire. This was to be the case with Chapters 1 & 2 in Team Affinity 2 but Sony San Diego confirmed via a live stream that these chapters will not go away.

How to make progress in Chapter 1

There are several ways to progress in Chapter 1 of Team Affinity 2.

For one, more Division-specific Moments were added. These aren’t Extreme Moments. There are five for each division and a 3,000 TA point reward for completing each.

Additionally, East, West, and Central Conquests are back. 20,000 TA will be awarded to divisions for completing those. And, the Extreme Showdown will earn an additional 20,000 TA.

Next up are the PXP Missions. There are repeatable PXP Missions for tallying 1,500 PXP (5,000 TA) for using Season 2 eligible cards of a specific division and 500 PXP (5,000 TA) with the 89 OVR bosses.

On top of those, single-player (hits and strikeouts in Mini Season, Conquest, and Play vs. CPU) and online (innings pitched, total bases, hits, and strikeouts) stat Missions also exist.

We don’t, however, recommend the Player Exchanges. These can be money pits, as using these will burn Stubs. Unless the Babe Ruth Live Series Collection has been completed or for those who have untradable cards to use, don’t do these.

Remember, more Chapters will be added for Team Affinity 2 over the coming weeks.
