Since MLB The Show 25 and Diamond Dynasty have reached end-of-game lifecycle status, it’s time to do a rewind. The 11th Inning Program was released on November 21, one advantageous for lapsed and/or new players. It includes cards released in the first ten Inning Program paths from ’25, plus Now & Later packs that will help once MLB The Show 26 is released.

Here are some notes on what some of these packs include:
- As noted earlier this month, Now & Later packs are standard The Show packs. However, these also have a voucher good for one standard The Show pack for MLB The Show 26.
- The Cornerstone Rewind Pack includes the keys needed to finish the Moments for the previously released Cornerstone Programs.
- The XP Path Rewind pack includes non-sellable cards released in past Inning Programs, including 99 OVRs for Joc Pederson, Todd Helton, Goose Gossage, Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken Jr., and Frank Thomas.
- The Boss Choice Packs include one pack from each of the Inning Programs (1-10). Only one card can be obtained in each.
There are no new cards in this Inning Program path.
And as always, there’s a random reward that can be obtained for every 30,000 XP obtained after hitting 340,000.
How to make progress
The same as always: play the game, regardless of mode. However, there are some ways to expedite the process.
Those who obtained all three 10th Inning Program bosses & collect all three will receive a voucher good for 50,000 XP.
Sony also added Missions that can be completed in most single-player and online Diamond Dynasty modes. As always, standalone Showdowns do not add towards these. Here are the missions:
- Earn 2,025 PXP in any game mode (5,000 XP)
- Tally 25 extra-base hits in any game mode (7,500 XP)
- Tally 250 bases (10,000 XP)
- Record 250 strikeouts (10,000 XP)
- Score 250 runs (15,000 XP)
Lastly, there are player exchanges. Individuals can exchange non-collected cards to gain an additional 50,000 XP. Here are the rates:
- I: 7,000 XP (10,000 Value)
- II: 5,000 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)
