In addition to the release of a new Legends & Flashbacks Collection on June 12, the MLB The Show 26 team released a recap program entitled Pack Palooza. Those who complete will earn packs that include cards from previously-released content drops, like St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, as well as Cityscapes, Mural, and Vintage.
Pack Palooza Program
First, let’s start with the Pack Palooza Program in MLB The Show 26:
- 10 Points: Legends Choice Pre-Order Choice Pack
- 20 Points: WBC Pre-Order Choice Pack
- 30 Points: St. Patrick’s Day Choice Pack
- 40 Points: Chocolate Bunny Choice Pack (Reynolds, Riley Durham, Kaat, Napoli. Stowers)
- 50 Points: Chocolate Eggs Choice Pack (Schlittler, Wood, Devers, Armstrong, Hunter, Winn)
- 60 Points: April Spotlight Pack (Any)
- 70 Points: Pack Palooza Choice Pack (No-Sell) & 5,000 XP
Unlike most Assorted Programs, this one has no guaranteed player reward. Instead, it’s merely an avenue for players to acquire cards released in past content drops. Or in the Legends & WBC packs, an option to obtain cards that were originally pre-order bonuses.
This should be helpful for those who want to complete the two Legends & Flashbacks Collections.
As for the Pack Palooza Choice Pack, it includes the option to choose one card from the Rare Round of any previous content drop (up until 6/12/26). However, it is not sellable. Those cards are as follows:
- WBC: Caminero, C. Santana, Anthony, Munoz, Kondoh, Ford, B-G Moon, Suarez (89 OVR)
- New Threads: Polanco, Imai, Ward (90 OVR)
- Easter: Riley, Reynolds, Durham, Wood, Devers, Schlittler (90 OVR)
- JRD: deGrom, Henderson, J. Gibson, Donaldson (91 OVR)
- Cityscapes: F. Bautista, Misiorowski, Muncy, Sosa (92 OVR)
- Mural: Machado, J. Bautista, B. Gibson, D. Ortiz (93 OVR)
- Vintage: Utley, Crochet, G. Sanchez, Walker (94 OVR)
How to make progress
Here are the tasks:
- Complete three EXTREME Moments (75 pts. – 25 pts. each)
- Missions:
- Tally five wins in any game mode (10 pts.)
- Tally 50 hits with any players (10 pts.)
- Tally 20 home runs with any players (10 pts.)
- Tally 100 total bases with any players (10 pts.)
- Tally 12 innings with any pitchers (10 pts.)
- Tally 21 strikeouts with any pitchers (10 pts.)
- Tally 7,500 PXP with any players (10 pts.)
For those wondering, the three EXTREME Missions are as follows:
- Score eight runs with left-handed hitters versus left-handed pitching on All-Star
- Tally three home runs before making three outs on All-Star
- Re-create J.T. Realmuto’s 2023 cycle in one game on All-Star
Realistically, one should choose the Missions, especially since those can be doubled up on with other Programs.
