Showdown
Showdown is a Diamond Dynasty mode unlike any other. Instead of using your usual squad or a pre-set team, you’ll begin by drafting a small set of players to anchor your lineup and staff. As you complete Showdown-specific Moments, you’ll earn additional players to round out your squad and Perks to boost your team’s performance. At the Final Showdown, your performance in the Challenges directly influences how daunting your task against the Final Boss will be!
Coach Tip: Boss Battles are a unique feature of The Show that play very differently from a regular game. Remember, the point of Showdown is to beat the Final Boss, not all the Moments! You know the handedness of the Final Boss beforehand, so drafting the best player by OVR isn’t always the best strategy.
Moments
Moments take you back to relive baseball history or showcase the highlights of the 2025 season. Since Moments are not a full game, they’re a great way to earn progress in Seasons and Other Programs when you only have a little time to play. Try them all!
Coach Tip: There is no penalty for restarting Moments at any point. If you need to compile multiple hits in a game, you might want to start fresh if you don’t get one of them in your first at-bat.
Collections
Collections are completed by locking in several cards from a particular set. Complete each Collection’s milestones to earn unique rewards like valuable players and equipment. Keep an eye out for new Collections with more powerful rewards as the season goes on!
