MLB The Show 22 Diamond Dynasty New Features
Diamond Dynasty is getting a ton of new features and additions in MLB The Show 22.
Mini Seasons
MLB The Show 22 Diamond Dynasty will offer a fantastic new offline game mode in Mini Seasons. This game mode creates leagues of 8 teams, each made up of real Diamond Dynasty team rosters, and players will battle it out over a quick season with these opponents, including playoffs and an eventual championship final.
Players will get a ton of rewards for winning the final of Mini Seasons in Diamond Dynasty, and some rewards for other top-end finishes as well. This isn't all, though, as unique challenges and more will also feature in this mode to offer other reward paths. These unique challenges will change every Mini Season, and some will offer bonus rewards based on the difficulty you play at.
