One of the trademark series of cards in MLB The Show 25 has been the Prime Series, dedicated to highlighting a year where a specific player could be considered to excel in their — well, prime. On June 27, SDS added the Prime Series Program, a dedicated program adding more of these cards to Diamond Dynasty. And, those who collected enough can get two high-end Diamond rewards.

How to make progress

Now, a look at the different tasks for the Prime Program:

• Complete eight Moments (40 pts. – 5 pts. each)
• Prime Series Missions:
  • Tally 10 innings pitched with Prime Series pitchers (5 pts.)
  • Tally 20 strikeouts with Prime Series pitchers (5 pts.)
  • Tally 20 hits with Prime Series hitters (5 pts.)
  • Tally 10 extra-base hits with Prime Series players (5 pts.)
  • Tally five home runs with Prime Series players (5 pts.)
• Stat Missions:
  • Tally 22 innings pitched with any pitchers (5 pts.)
  • Tally 20 stolen bases with any players (5 pts.)
  • Tally 38 strikeouts with any pitchers (5 pts.)
  • Tally 32 hits with any players (5 pts.)
  • Tally nine home runs with any players (5 pts.)
• PXP Missions:
  • Tally 1,000 PXP with Prime Series players (5 pts.) (REPEATABLE)
  • Tally 350 PXP with Prime Jesse Chavez (5 pts.)
  • Tally 350 PXP with Prime Mike Cameron (5 pts.)
  • Tally 500 PXP with Prime Charlie Morton (5 pts.)
  • Tally 350 PXP with Prime Salvador Perez (5 pts.)
• OPTIONAL Prime Series Collection programs:
  • Collect 93 OVR Jim Kaat, Michael Young, & Tommy Pham (30 pts.)
  • Collect 95 OVR Jason Varitek & Terry Pendleton (70 pts.)

Unless otherwise specified, the missions can be completed in either single-player or online game modes. Showdowns & Moments are excluded.

A good rule of thumb: do the missions to get Chavez & Cameron. Then, starting teeing off on the stat missions.

These tasks have been modified since its launch. When it did, only 90 Star Points could be obtained through the Moments & Missions. Thus, one of the two optional collections were required.

Prime Collection

Additionally, there are two collection rewards for acquiring Prime Series cards. Those two are 95 OVR Ian Kinsler & 96 OVR Lance Berkman.

Ian Kinsler

Lance Berkman

Eight Prime Series players are needed to unlock Kinsler, while 16 are needed for Berkman.

So, where are Prime Series cards located? Here’s a look:

• Prime Collection: 1 (Kinsler)
• Live Series Collection: 1 (Kipnis)
• Program: 5
• Pack: 10

This collection is important, as the 96 OVR Berkman will likely be needed for the next Legends & Flashbacks Collection, per precedent.
