CHICKEN DINNER: MLB The Show 21 brings a whole new meaning to Battle Royale

MLB The Show 21 Battle Royale brings a ton of excitement to Diamond Dynasty. In it, players draft their own teams and battle to make it to the maximum 12 wins before taking on 3 losses. If you do take on 3 losses along the way, your journey ends, and you'll have to start climbing the ladder once again.

In Battle Royale, players will earn Diamond Dynasty rewards for each win they accumulate before notching 3 losses. If you can manage the legendary 12-0, great rewards await.

Ranked Seasons

For the elite MLB The Show 21 Diamond Dynasty players, the game mode with the most play time will be Ranked Seasons.

This game mode will put players to the test, winning and losing rating based on how they perform.

Ranked Seasons will also adjust the game's difficulty depending on which league you're placed in (and if your opponent is a higher rating, their league instead) - meaning you won't be able to climb off of easy wins.

These events typically last one or two weeks, and your wins accumulate for short term rewards as well as long term rewards throughout the event (even if you lose and have too reenter).

Events typically offer big rewards for those that can pick up 100 wins with their Diamond Dynasty squad, and that will carry over to MLB The Show 21.

It's certainly not over the top exciting, but this is a great game mode to take advantage of to get some extra practice with your Diamond Dynasty squad in MLB The Show 21, and will be a great first stop for Xbox players new to the series.
