The Season 1 Awards program has arrived at MLB The Show 24 and it introduces some good cards, while also giving players a chance to earn some packs.
However, the community is not thrilled about this program, as the best cards of the program are only available in packs you can't earn, making Diamond Dynasty more pay-to-win.
Without further ado, let's find out everything about the Season 1 Awards program.
Latest: Season Awards Drop 5 Program is Here!
The Season Awards Drop 5 Program has just been revealed and it arrives at Diamond Dynasty on Friday 26 April at around 12 pm PST (3 pm ET / 7 pm GMT).
It works similarly to the previous Season Awards program, with players needing to complete moments and missions to complete the program and collect its rewards.
The rewards of this program are five Show packs and five unsellable cards, which are expected to have decent attributes.
These cards are:
- 92 OVR Alec Bohm
- 92 OVR Andy Pages
- 92 OVR Cam Booser
- 92 OVR Jack Leiter
- 95 OVR Tanner Houck
The Season Awards Drop 5 Program also brings a new choice pack that will introduce five incredible cards to Diamond Dynasty, which are:
- 93 OVR Ranger Suárez
- 93 OVR Jonatan Clase
- 93 OVR Mitchell Parker
- 96 OVR Reed Garrett
- 96 OVR Cal Raleigh
We expect these cards to have some great attributes, especially the 96 OVR Cal Raleigh and Reed Garrett, which should be the best cards in the pack.
The Season Awards Drop 5 pack is expected to cost around 30K Stubs and users will probably be limited to just five packs.
Once again the best cards of the Season Awards Program are locked behind a paywall, which is not surprising but is still disappointing.
Players have voiced their discontent with this for quite some time and were hoping that MLB The Show 24 would hear them, but it seems that won't happen anytime soon.
You can take a look at all the Season Awards programs and cards below.
Season 1 Awards Program
As mentioned above, the Season 1 Awards program has just arrived at Diamond Dynasty. It offers players the chance to earn some good cards and many packs by completing challenges.
This program replaces the Topps Now Program, with Topps Now cards being now part of the Season Awards program. That means the Season Award program is expected to release new cards every week.
Drop one of the Season 1 Awards program allowed players to earn a total of four unsellable cards and six packs. The cards are 88 OVR Mike Trout, 88 OVR Colt Keith, 88 OVR Shohei Ohtani, and 91 OVR Garrett Crochet.
All of them have great attributes, with the Shohei Ohtani card also possessing some spectacular quirks. To earn all of them you will need to complete the program tasks you can find listed in the program menu, as you can see in the image above.
Season Awards Drop 2 Program
Drop 2 of the Season 1 Awards program has arrived at MLB The Show 24, and it brings more great cards and rewards. Similar to drop one, five of the cards can be earned by completing the Season Awards Drop 2 program.
These cards are 88 OVR Jackson Chourio, 88 OVR Graham Pauley, 88 OVR Jared Jones, 88 OVR Jung Hoo Lee, and 91 OVR Michael Conforto. All of them possess good attributes and are unsellable. Completing the Season Awards Drop 2 program will also give you 5 Show packs and a lot of XP.
The remaining cards of drop 2 can only be acquired through the Season Awards drop 2 pack, which costs 40K Stubs, only includes one player, and users are limited to five packs.
This pack contains an 89 OVR Victor Scott, 89 OVR Christian Encarnacion-Strand, 89 OVR Ryan Borucki, 92 OVR Oswaldo Cabrera, and 92 OVR Brady Singer.
The Oswaldo Cabrera and Brady Singer cards have some spectacular attributes and great quirks. These are the two cards of this drop pack every player wants to get their hands on
Season Awards Drop 3 Program
More Season Awards cards have arrived at MLB The Show 24, and most of them can be earned in the Season Awards Drop 3 program.
The Season Awards Drop 3 program arrived at Diamond Dynasty a week after the Drop 2 program was introduced. You can check more about that program further below.
This new Season Awards program maintains the same structure as the previous ones. It allows players to earn five unique cards and five Show packs by completing challenges and progressing in the Season Awards Drop 3 program reward path.
The five cards this program will introduce are:
- 90 OVR Jordan Westburg
- 90 OVR Blaze Alexander
- 90 OVR Travis D’Arnaud
- 90 OVR Justin Foscue
- 93 OVR Ronel Blanco
They all possess some good attributes, but the 93 OVR Ronel Blanco card is the one players really want to have.
However, other Season Awards have also arrived at Diamond Dynasty. Unfortunately, these cards are once again locked behind a paywall, as they are only available in the Season Awards Drop 3 choice pack.
This pack costs 30K Stubs and users are limited to five packs. The cards included in this pack are, generally speaking, better than the ones you can earn in the Season Awards Drop 3 program.
These cards are:
- 94 OVR Jarren Durran
- 94 OVR Shane Bieber
- 91 OVR James McCann
- 91 OVR Max Meyer
- 91 OVR Thairo Estrada
Season Awards Drop 4 Program
The Season Awards Drop 4 program has just arrived at Diamond Dynasty, and it brought four good cards.
The Season Awards Drop 4 program cards are:
- 90 OVR Tyler Jay
- 90 OVR Lawrence Butler
- 90 OVR Yariel Rodriguez
- 90 OVR Colton Cowser
- 93 OVR Spencer Steer
This program has a similar format to the previous Season Awards ones, with players being able to earn five Show packs on top of the five cards listed above.
Furthermore, this program also introduced the highly anticipated Season Awards Lightning player, which is none other than Bobby Witt Jr.
Season Awards Lightning Bobby Witt Jr has a 95 OVR and some astonishing attributes and quirks.
Similar to previous releases of the Season Awards program, this one also brought a choice pack, that includes the best cards of this drop.
The pack costs 30K Stubs and users are limited to five packs. It includes the following cards:
- 91 OVR Tyler Glasnow
- 91 OVR Austin Martin
- 91 OVR Shea Langeliers
- 94 OVR Mason Miller
- 94 OVR Elly De La Cruz
The MLB The Show Community is Disappointed
MLB The Show fans have some strong words about this program. Not because it is inherently bad, but because the best cards are locked behind a paywall.
If players want to get their hands on a 92 OVR Oneil Cruz or 92 OVR Lourdes Gurriel Jr, who both have some astonishing attributes, they will need to buy the Season 1 Awards pack for 30K Stubs.
Furthermore, the pack only contains one player and there is a purchase limit of five packs per user, so players will need to pray they get one of those two cards.
This makes Diamond Dynasty more of a pay-to-win mode, which the community really doesn't appreciate. Hopefully, the developers will hear this criticism and take it into account for the next program.
