How To Get XP?

There isn't a great way to accumulate XP in MLB The Show 25. Generally, you can get XP by playing various modes. The more you play, the faster you accumulate XP. However, the official guide still provides some ways to earn XP:

• 5,000 XP: Earn 2,025 PXP in any game mode (5,000 XP)
• 7,500 XP: Score 25 long hits in any game mode (7,500 XP)

11th Inning Program mainly features reissued cards, with rewards including 85+ Live Series Pack, 88+ Live Series Pack, Deluxe Choice Pack, Chase Player Pack, and MLB The 25 stubs. This gives players who missed out on key cards in the past one last chance to obtain them for free, which is very helpful for completing Collections missions.

Furthermore, the total progress of this plan is only 340,000 points, after which there are numerous rerun rewards, and the plan is practically permanent, making it much easier than the perpetual plan that required millions of points in previous years.

10th Inning Program runs from October 31st to November 21st. During this period, you need to play Diamond Dynasty and earn XP to unlock the rewards. Players who collect all three Bosses from 9th Inning Program will receive a 50,000 XP voucher.

In addition to the above, you can also earn extra XP by completing missions. Missions will be announced gradually, and the currently known missions are as follows:

• Acquire 27 RBIs using any player (5,000 XP)
• Strike out 85 times using any player (7,500 XP)
• Steal 38 bases using any player (10,000 XP)

Besides these, you can also earn XP through player trades, with a maximum of 50,000 XP earned this way.

10th Inning Boss

There are only two 10th Inning Boss Choice Packs in the rewards, meaning you can only obtain a maximum of two for free, and the last one can only be obtained through MLB The Show 25 stubs trade. So let's take a look at which of these three bosses is the most worthwhile to trade.

99 OVR Juan Soto, RF/LF, 2025 Finest

• Contact Right: 125
• Contact Left: 110
• Power Right: 125
• Power Left: 125
• Vision: 100
• Discipline: 125
• Clutch: 120
• Bunt: 41
• Drag Bunt: 31
• Durability: 98

From late September to early October, Juan Soto maintained a high on-base percentage, although his home run and slugging percentages slightly declined. He continued to generate key RBIs in the final stages of the regular season and in several games into October, providing consistent firepower for the team's playoff push. Although he couldn't lead New York Met to the playoffs, Silver Slugger Award is a testament to his ability.

As a hitter, 99 OVR Juan Soto boasts near-top-tier stats, with 125 power in both hands plus a high-powered bunt. His speed, stealing, and base running are also excellent, demonstrating not only skill in hitting but also mobility once on base. His hitting is almost flawless, but he might not be as versatile if your playstyle emphasizes defense or speed.

Juan Soto is undoubtedly the most recommended of the three Bosses. If you don't need an offensive player in this position, selling this card can earn you a significant amount of stubs.

99 OVR Aroldis Chapman, CP, 2025 Finest

• Stamina: 25
• H/9: 125
• K/9: 117
• BB/9: 102
• HR/9: 99
• Pitch Clutch: 125
• Control: 87
• Velocity: 99
• Break: 99

Aroldis Chapman maintained a very high level of performance throughout the season, continuing his dominance in the early October postseason. His 100.7 mph fastball strikeout against Yankees on October 2nd proved he still has the ability to close out games.

99 OVR Aroldis Chapman is virtually unbeatable as a finisher in the game. High K/9, high H/9, high Velocity, and high Break all indicate a dominant advantage over batters.

However, as a finisher, his usage scenarios are relatively limited. You need a lead and to bring him in the final innings, otherwise his value may not be fully realized. But if your team's overall depth is weak, this strong card cannot save the team.

Aroldis Chapman has a very strong ability to close out games. If your team has a strong defense, then he is a very good option.

99 OVR Nick Kurtz, 1B/RF, 2025 Finest

• Contact Right: 125
• Contact Left: 110
• Power Right: 125
• Power Left: 125
• Vision: 90
• Discipline: 125
• Clutch: 125
• Bunt: 35
• Drag Bunt: 25
• Durability: 95

As one of the brightest rookies of the 2025 season, Nick Kurtz maintained a high hitting efficiency in October and was nominated for Silver Slugger Award. He also showcased his consistent power hitting and excellent pitch selection in October MLB official highlight video.

99 OVR Nick Kurtz has very strong hitting ability, with a Power rating of 125 on both sides, indicating that he is very good at hitting power hits and home runs. However, this card is weak in speed and base running, which will limit his ability to extend the offense or steal bases. His defense is also only average for a 1B player.

While 99 OVR Nick Kurtz is a top-tier card, he is not the most outstanding, especially since he lacks speed and defense. This means he cannot be as well-rounded as Juan Soto, hence his recommendation is placed last.

That concludes the overview of 10th Inning Program, and hope you could receive all the rewards.

On the competitive stage of MLB The Show 25, subtle strategies in lineup building can often determine the outcome of a match. Recently, based on feedback from the player community, a fascinating tactic has come to the fore, attempting to break through competitive limitations through game mechanics.

This tactical approach assembled a special lineup where, aside from the catcher, almost all players had their discipline attributes at their highest level, aiming to verify the practical value of this attribute in high-level games. The complete, thought-provoking, and exciting match is now presented.

Tactical Concept

According to the attribute description in the in-game Diamond Dynasty, high discipline explicitly states that it increases the frequency with which batters back off when facing inside balls. Over time, this increases the number of walks.

This description accurately captures the common experience of many players: when you want to swing to hit an inside ball, the game mechanics sometimes force the batter to step back, making it impossible to swing.

Therefore, this tactic constructs a specialized lineup where all players except the catcher have the highest level of discipline. Jorge Posada, as the core of the lineup, although he does not possess Superfractor attribute to achieve the highest level of discipline, is still highly anticipated.

Real-World Testing

This experimental match was between two equally matched teams, which should have been the perfect stage to test tactics. However, the actual match went very differently from what was expected.

Opposing pitcher George Kirby did not frequently attack the inside corner, forcing the highly disciplined lineup to avoid inside pitches, thus negating their core advantage. This prevented the experiment from being directly validated on a data level.

Meanwhile, the player's starting pitcher, Roy Halladay, became another variable in the game. Although he has been one of the player's favorite pitchers in recent years, his recent form has been worrying, and he suffered another blow in this game, allowing the opponent to hit several crucial home runs, causing the score to fall behind early. This exposed the experimental lineup's weakness in the pitching position.

Despite the setback in their tactical experiment, the game showcased the allure of esports. This perseverance paid off in the seventh inning when Jorge Posada's crucial hit tied the score at 3-3, demonstrating the team's resilience. However, their opponents immediately regained the lead with a home run, pushing the game to a fever pitch.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, the do-or-die experimental lineup staged a thrilling comeback. Jurickson Profar and Jose Bautista hit home runs in quick succession, bringing the score from 3-6 to 5-6 and giving the prospect of victory a second chance.

At a crucial moment, the opponent brought in left-handed pitcher Andrew Miller, while the players sent in Josh Gibson as a pinch hitter, hoping he could counter the left-handed pitcher's powerful offense. However, the final swing missed, bringing a disappointing end to this game full of attempts and passion.

Post-game Summary

Based on this closely contested and exciting match, we can draw a clear conclusion: discipline had absolutely no impact on the game, and not a single batter managed to dodge the ball.

This meticulously designed experimental tactic failed to reach the core of the theory due to the opponent's pitching strategy, but the result itself provided valuable data points.

The essence of the game's outcome lay in the difference in home runs. The opponent capitalized on the pitcher's off-ball play to efficiently convert into extra-base runs; while the opposing team, although hitting relatively better, saw too many powerful shots converted into outs, and their crucial extra-base runs failed to materialize for most of the game.

Regarding future adjustments, it's necessary to consider removing the struggling Roy Halladay from the starting lineup and trusting bullpen pitchers earlier. Also, it might be necessary to hit the underside of the ball more often to create more effective flight shots, rather than powerful but easily smashed flat shots.

While the strategy of layering discipline didn't work in this particular game, it didn't completely diminish the attribute's value in certain situations.

Perhaps discipline is best used in conjunction with other attributes for a more holistic approach. However, in high-level competitive play, players may need to focus on power and timing to outpace opponents' pitching speed, especially against dynamic pitchers like Josh Gibson.

This game may have been a loss, but it serves as a powerful reminder that strategy in MLB The Show 25 is constantly evolving. There is no guaranteed path to victory; adapting to new mechanisms, experimenting with different games, and continuous learning are key to staying competitive.

Whether you're adjusting your lineup based on discipline or trying entirely new tactics, true victory lies in pushing the limits of what's possible.

In this competitive game, what matters is not only winning or losing, but also the tactical maneuvering between the two sides.
