The Postseason is now in full-swing which means 2023 Postseason content will be continually dropped in MLB The Show 23 over the next few weeks. The content will be staggered by about a week, meaning the content hitting Diamond Dynasty is from the round the week before. First up is the Wild Card program.

Let’s dig in.

MLB The Show 23 Postseason Wild Card Program Breakdown

Postseason content in Diamond Dynasty is usually a good time. As players immortalize themselves with show-stopping performances, they become legends on the virtual diamond as well with typically epic cards.

The Wild Card round is over and sees the first batch of featured content in Diamond Dynasty. As with most programs, you’ll need to accrue a total of 100 program stars to complete the program and earn all the included rewards.

Moments

For the Wild Card round, there’s a total of ten Moments worth 2 program stars each. Completing all Moments will net you a total of 20 program stars.

PXP Missions

There’s also a handful of PXP missions to help your program progress:

• REPEATABLE: Tally 2,500 PXP with program cards – 5 program stars
• Tally 1,500 PXP with 2023 Postseason cards – 5 program stars
• Tally 1,000 PXP with cards from AL Wild Card teams – 5 program stars
• Tally 1,000 PXP with cards from NL Wild Card teams – 5 program stars

Stat Missions

There’s a hefty list of stat missions to complete this time around. Online players get a bit of extra incentive as there are some online exclusive stat grinds, while the offline/online split recently introduced returns again as well.

*Online stat mission requirements are (in parentheses) and must be completed separately from offline stat missions. You do not earn progress in both simultaneously.*

• Tally 30 (15) Hits with Texas Rangers hitters – 5 program stars
• Tally 30 (15) Strikeouts with Tampa Bay Rays pitchers – 5 program stars
• Tally 20 (10) Total Bases with Toronto Blue Jays hitters – 5 program stars
• Tally 5 (3) Saves with Minnesota Twins pitchers – 5 program stars
• Tally 10 (5) Home Runs with Arizona Diamondbacks hitters – 5 program stars
• Get On Base 20 (10) times with Milwaukee Brewers hitters – 5 program stars
• Tally 15 (8) Extra-Base Hits with Philadelphia Phillies hitters – 5 program stars
• Tally 15 (9) Innings Pitched with Miami Marlins pitchers – 5 program stars

Online Only Stat Missions

• Get On Base 15 times with 2023 Postseason and/or Postseason Series hitters – 5 program stars
• Tally 2 Wins with 2023 Postseason and/or Postseason Series pitchers – 5 program stars
• Tally 10 Strikeouts with Wild Card Program or Event players – 5 program stars
• Tally 9 Innings Pitched with Wild Card Program or Event players – 5 program stars
• Tally 3 Saves with Wild Card Program or Event players – 5 program stars
• Tally 3 Home Runs with Wild Card Program or Event players – 5 program stars
• Tally 10 Hits with Wild Card Program or Event players – 5 program stars
• Tally 10 Runs Batted In with Wild Card Program or Event players – 5 program stars

The added variety is a huge win here. We don’t need an equal split between online and offline missions, just a healthy dose of both. Online-focused players can now comfortably complete programs like this with considerably less time spent offline.

Conquest

Conquest fans still get a new map with some extra goodies. Completing this map nets you 20 program stars.

Event Collection

Online players have a chance at extra progress again with the optional Event collection. This collection can be completed until the Wild Card Event ends on October 20.

• Collect 2023 Postseason Gabriel Moreno – 6 program stars
• Collect 2023 Postseason Zack Wheeler – 25 program stars
• Collect 2023 Postseason Josh Bell – 30 program stars

Mini Seasons

A new wrinkle is the addition of Mini Seasons vouchers in a Postseason-themed Mini Seasons. For every three games you win, you’ll earn a 2023 Postseason Voucher that can be applied to any Postseason Series program. This means you can stock up on vouchers and boost your way through the future programs in the coming weeks.

Each Postseason Voucher is worth 3 program stars. You’ll also earn a 2021 Postseason A.J. Pollock if you win the Postseason Mini Seasons Championship.

Rewards

In total, players will earn eight Pennant Chase packs, 14,000 XP and 16 Set 4 cards. Of those program cards, five new 99 overall cards hit Diamond Dynasty.

The Closer

The first of several Postseason programs drops some fun cards. As the Postseason progresses, we’ll definitely get some meatier cards and probably end up with a Diamond Dynasty legend or two. A huge bonus of these programs is the free Set cards to plug into collections. While none of these cards are blow-you-away-good, the 99 overalls are at least interesting enough on their own.

That’s the Wild Card Program in Diamond Dynasty! Are you looking forward to any specific cards? Let us know in the comments!
