We're down to the wire, with Early Access in MLB The Show 26 beginning in 3-days.
This week is all about Live Content, which means we'll be learning about cards, programs, collections, and all of the other good stuff that each new year of Diamond Dynasty delivers.
Via social media, SDS revealed the contents of both the WBC and Legend Choice Packs that come with Digital Deluxe Edition pre-orders. Pre-order information here.
WBC Player Choice Packs

Legend Choice Packs
- Roy HalladayChipper JonesKen Griffey Jr.
Those who pre-order the Deluxe Digital Edition receive 2 WBC Player Choice Packs and 1 Legend Choice Pack, in addition to Early Access, Stubs, and other items.
Chipper Jones is my favorite player, so he's an easy pick for me from the Legend pack. I'll have to put some thought into the WBC pack once I see the attributes. I love Aaron Judge cards, especially early in the year, and it would be difficult to turn down Shohei Ohtani at DH to begin the year.
Part of the fun each year for me is building my team out of the initial packs, using the pre-order packs to fill in around weak spots. I'm very excited to see attributes and what else to expect for launch night.
Early Access Week
Live Content week continues tomorrow with the official SDS Dev Tourney, followed by two-part Feature Premieres on Wednesday and Thursday.
Stay tuned to ShowZone throughout the week for full coverage on all things MLB The Show 26.
