Today is the official standard release of MLB The Show 26 and brings with it our first post-launch program - the St. Patrick's Day Program.
And so begins the first official breakdown of the year, utilizing ShowZone's new Program feature that breaks down the details of every Program that gets released.
The program path features a unique Choice Pack, offering either a St. Patrick's Day Choice Pack or standard Show pack along the way before earning your guaranteed St. Patrick's Day Choice Pack. There are 1:9 odds of getting a St. Patrick's Day pack dropped.
You can also purchase up to 10 St. Patrick's Day Choice Packs from the Show Shop. Packs are 20,000 Stubs each. These packs have a 1:40 chance at pulling the special insert - 90 overall Mike Trout.
For full details on the St. Patrick's Day Choice Pack, check out ShowZone's new and expanded Pack pages that not only show you the cards in each pack; but showcases Meta Overall for easy comparison.
Program Breakdown
You'll be grinding with mostly Golds in this program at some point, with the reward at the end being an 89 Alfonso Soriano.
St. Patrick's Day Alfonso Soriano debuts as the #7 2B in Diamond Dynasty. Not a bad reward at all from the first program of the year. Soriano is one of my favorite players, and I'm always happy to see him in the game.
What are your thoughts on the first program of the year?
